Freeloader Portable Solar charger (1 Viewer)

[blokarter]

I am not sure if these items have been mentioned before but I thought I would tell what I have found.

I have been using the Original Freeloader for about 4 years now and it works great. I keep it beside the window or on the dash while driving the motorhome.

The small solar panels charge the central power storage pack while the panels are clipped onto place. The power storage pack then can be use as a charger when required. It comes with loads of fittings for connecting it to most small devices. The only downside is that it cannot charge a device while the panels are charging the power storage but this is not a problem once you get used to it.

I use it to charge our mobile phones and mp3 player while on the move.

I see there is now a Freeloader Pro version with larger panels which comes with a camcaddy to charge various batteries.

I will be ordering the pro to charge the batter for my cannon camera.
Price is pretty good too..

I hope this might be of use to someone....

I bought one a couple of years ago and was so impressed I bought the Link Removed as well.

Hi Graham

I did look at a supercharger which I was going to hang in the motorhome side window with suckers but don't really need the extra speed (yet)

I think the pro with the cam caddy will be best for me.

That pro looks a nice piece of kit, Mark. I see from the Maplins web site that the cam caddy is available on its own so might look at that to see if it will link to what I already have.

I bought a solar charger for AAA/AA/C/D size batteries from Maplins a couple of years ago when it was on offer. Looks like they don't do that any more. Not as efficient as the Freeloader but it was a good buy at the price.
