Product Description

Charge Anything With a USB Connection
The sCharger-5 works for the latest Apple iPhone (3, 4, and 5), iPod Touch, iPad, Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets, Android devices, Blackberry, GoPro, Canon, Nikon, USB storage batteries (Anker), AA/AAA USB battery chargers, Sony PSP, Nintendo DS, basically anything with a male USB connection.
Proven to Charge Faster Than Others
Independent tests have proven that the sCharger-5 is faster and more powerful than the Goal Zero Nomad 7. In full direct sunlight the sCharger-5 is able to charge an iPhone in 2 hours or less (the same amount of time it takes to fully charge an iPhone from an electrical outlet) from 0% to 100%.
Efficient High Quality Solar Cells
What makes the sCharger-5 so powerful is its mono-crystalline solar cells, the most efficient solar cell technology of the 21st century. Other solar chargers are made of cheap plastic and use weak, low current solar cells. Our solar cells produce high current output which means less time it will take to power your rechargeable devices.
Built in Auto-Retry Technology
The sCharger-5 has something that the leading competition does not have; “Auto-Retry Technology”. The sCharger-5 will immediately re-start charging within minutes after being temporarily blocked from the sun, other portable USB solar chargers require a manual reset in order to start charging again. With the sCharger-5, you will never have to worry if your device is charging properly.
Durable and Built to Last
The sCharger-5 is built to last, great for camping and hiking, or just daily use. Have the security knowing that the sCharger-5 is going to work in any situation, especially in an emergency. The sCharger-5 is built to sustain critical damage, dropped in water and will still work as intended (just dry off before use). We believe in our American made products, and we know for a fact that you will be completely satisfied with the sCharger-5 or your money back, guaranteed!

I got my sCharger-5 last summer and immediately set off on an adventure to test it out. My friend and I went out to the Saratoga Gap off Hwy 9 and found the nearest open field to sit and unwind in. My friend pulled out his iPod and a pair of cheap USB speakers and we were able to power the speakers and play music while relaxing. The size and weight are a big “Pro” about this solar charger… And the fact that I fell off a rock and the sCharger-5 got caught in-between the rock and myself, which resulted in a few surface scratches, but no loss of power or performance.

Great charger. It charges my samsung galaxy s2 just as fast as charging it from the wall. I use for bicycle touring. No need to always find places to stop and charge up. I can listen to mp3s all day, and use the maps as much as I want without worrying. Great item. Light too lighter than all the competition. Would be cool if they could shave 100 more grams of it too, but I am just being picky. Seems to be better than anything out there now.

I purchased the sCharger-5 over a year ago for a month long hiking trip in Hawaii. I recommend this solar charger as it is a very solid device. Solid high quality rugged construction for durability and rock solid dependable output to both run and charge devices and batteries. I use a usb battery charger and rechargeable batteries to run anything that needs them, a good usb gooseneck 4 led light by kb lites and a 5000mah and 11000mah usb battery packs by power banks and incredi charge to keep me powered up at night, in the rain and when on the move, and of course my android. This thing keeps them all charged, is easy to use, simple to store and above all dependable. The price seemed high at purchase but I now feel like I got much more for my money than if I had purchased a less expensive unit.

I have taken this charger with me on many camping and bike trips. It is extremely durable and can handle falling off a bike and living in a backpack. I have even charged my phone while riding my bike by strapping the charger to my panniers. Great product!

I purchased the sCharger-5 to charge my iPhone while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. Using duck tape and some nylon tent cord, I was able to rig a system that allowed me to affix the charger to the top of my backpack so my iPhone would charge while I was hiking. The charger more than met my expectations. It charged my phone quickly in direct sunlight and did a surprisingly good job in reduced sunlight when hiking in wooded areas. Also proved to be durable. Would like to see it come with predrilled holes in the corners to make it easier to attach to a backpack.

I can charge my iPod or iPad with this product. A month after receiving the charger I received an unexpected package in the mail — the carrying case! This company really cares about its customers.

I love this product. I carry it everywhere with me now in my coat pocket and it charges fast. The best thing about this charger is its simplicity; you plug in you’re device and it charges it. Its as simple as that. Be sure to have direct sun light and have the charger at least in the same general direction as the sun because if it doesn’t get enough juice from the sun or through a window it. may drain it more than charge it by turning off and on you’re device due. to lack of power. I often get comments from others when I use it like at a track meet on how cool they think it is and ask me lots of questions. Haha I nearly sold the thing. If I’d have had more I probably could have sold them all! I have done extensive research on solar chargers and even after I bought the scharger. 5 and I have found that this is the product I needed. GET ONE!

I purchased the sCharger-5 USB Solar Charger as a backup way to charge my Cell Phone, MP3 Player and to charger AA & AAA batteries. It’s a GREAT little unit. When I’m on vacation, and use it poolside, folks always stop and ask me about it. My sCharger-5 worked so well I purchased a second unit for my wife. Well done.
