The USB Solar Charging 4-Port Hub with Torch: despite being a mouthful, the name says it all. This USB 2.0 hub from Brando Workshop is both a mobile device charging station and a flashlight. It comes with seven mobile phone connectors that match most modern phones, and a built-in rechargeable battery to charge up to four devices even when the hub is not
plugged in.
Now picture this (likely) scenario. After a day or two of being out and about, the hub’s handy LED indicator indicates the battery is running low. Not only that, the phone battery is also running low and you don’t have enough juice to wait till you can plug the hub back in. No problem!
The charging hub has a solar panel to charge up the battery, and thus the phone. So unless you are in a cave, or underwater, you should be able to charge up your MP3 player, phone, Nintendo DS, and PDA anywhere, anytime.
Along with the battery life, the LED indicator also indicates the battery’s charging status and output status. Once that battery is fully charged, flip the Off switch to avoid accidentally draining the battery while rattling around in your bag. It weighs a smidgen over an ounce, it’s slightly larger than a USB pendrive, and costs only $22. Being green was never this convenient.
