In today’s society we’re so dependent on cell phones that most of us can’t image life without them. Have you ever been in a situation where you forgot to charge your cell phone the night before and it dies when you most need it? Strapya World is selling, for about $20, a solar panel charger strap. It looks like a key chain and is considerably small. Right now this product is only shipped from Japan. We hope that someday it is made locally to make a more eco-friendly shipment.
The device can be charged up to 500 times, it only weighs 40 grams and will give you a maximum talk time of 40 minutes. Their product page shows a list of the compatible cell phones.
Let’s hope other companies will follow the lead and improve this device as well as make it available worldwide. Maybe someday this could be our everyday charger, instead of a back-up.
