| PowerFilm AA Foldable Solar Charger Solves Longstanding Solar Charging Problem | ||||||
The solar charger is ultra lightweight, thin, and recharges batteries in a highly effective manner in varying sunlight conditions. This proprietary, patent-applied-for product optimizes charging time and charging current while still protecting the batteries from over-charging damage. "Unlike other solar chargers for AA batteries, this new charging circuit does not get confused from variations in current typically seen from a solar panel, said Frank Jeffrey, Chairman of PowerFilm Solar's parent company Iowa Thin Film Technologies. The charger recharges 2 or 4 AA rechargeable (NiMH or NiCad) batteries to provide power for any device that uses AA batteries. The charger weighs less than 4 extra batteries and folds to pocket size. A military version of the charger is being marketed by PowerFilm Solar. The company is partnering with Johnson Outdoors to market a commercial version. "AA battery users in both military and commercial markets have demanded a lightweight solar charger for AA batteries that really works well. Now they have a quality solar product that delivers," commented Mike Coon, Chief Operating Officer.
