Product Description
Freeloader is an advanced portable charging system that can power any hand held device anywhere, anytime. Freeloader takes power from its solar panels, the supplied Supercharger or via its charge cable that plugs into a computer's USB. Once charged, Freeloader's internal battery can power an iPod for 18hours, a mobile phone for 44 hours, PSP for 2.5 hours a PDA for 22 hours and much much more. New for 2008, the Freeloader has had its electronics re-configured to make it compatible with the new iPhone, iTouch, iPod Classic and all earlier iPods. The kit also now comes with an adaptor to power all iPod applications. Supplied in a tough but stylish aluminium body, Freeloader can take the knocks of everyday life whether on a business trip in New York, back packing in the Andes or chilling on a Caribbean beach. The Globetrotter Kit is also supplied with a Supercharger, which is a super tough, super fast means to charge a Freeloader. Supercharger will fully power up a Freeloader in as little as 4 hours in sunshine, which means it is possible to charge Freeloader twice in one day! Supercharger is a fully weather resistant unit supplied in a tough case with two innovative buckles and a Velcro attachment strap for secure fixing to a rucksack, travel bag, bike panniers etc. And weighing in at a featherweight 200grams, the extra weight will barely be noticed. Supercharger easily couples to the Freeloader battery / hub using the original USB charge cable supplied with Freeloader. The Globetrotter kit is supplied with a tough carry pouch to protect Freeloader in the most hostile of environments. Just plug in for instant performance.

I bought this for trecking in Nepal. Worked very well for 5 days then (like Thomas King - 12/10/09) the USB socket, which is soldered directly to the panel, detached. In my case was when unplugging the cable. Was a rather tight fit and fearing it might be a liable to damage I had previously held it carefully, but did not on that occasion.
Thought I could easily solder it, but didn't work, presumably due to damage to the circuit near to where it came off. The panel does still work, as evidenced by voltage from a pair of flat outputs on the panel, to which I will try soldering the relevant wires of a separate USB lead.
Would strongly recommend more securely fixing the socket to the board with some araldite and the use of a short USB extension lead to further reduce the strain on the fixed socket.

disintegrated after only a few months, very disappointed with the quality of it all in all.
If you want to buy something that works and wont break then you should consider a power monkey....

I bought this for my wife who is an airhostess and uses lots of different gadgets when she is abroad. She has a Blackberry, Nintendo DS and an Ipod. She used to use a travel adaptor with a USB attachment but some of them seem flimsy. She is much happier now as she has a cool looking solar charger that has a neat pouch and can charge her gadgets wherever she is. An added thing she says is that she can charge her stuff whilst she is down the pool and does not have to leave them in her room. She is one happy airhostess now doing the Eco friendly thing and looking quite cool.
