Q. Most solar mobile phone and iPod chargers that i’ve found are only compatible with Motorola or other expensive phones. I have a Sprint Sanyo mobile phone. And since I am interested in purchasing one, I would like it to work with my products. Also, I’m on a budget, but please leave me whatever suggestions you have. Thanks!

A. Battech’s stylish but durable iPower is the very latest solar charger to hit the UK market. It can charge Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung phones, all PSPs, iPods, iPhone, iTouch and more. This retails at £39.99. A cheaper alternative compact solar phone charger, compatible with most Nokia, Seimens, Motorola and Sony Ericsson mobile phones can be found here - this retails at £19.99, but won’t charger iPods.

Q. How much will I save pollutionwise each time I charge my cellphone?

A. You are doing the right thing to protect our environment! I suppose your solar charger peak output is 10watt? Let’s say you charge every other day ,then you save 10*360/2=1800watt one year!

It all helps!
