Wanted: Power Monkey Explorer

POSTED BY: ms2005 10 months, 4 weeks ago

I'm off trekking and camping in Africa this summer and met a guy on a boat in Australia last year who had a one of these and worked superbly. I'm after a power monkey explorer charger with all the adapters and solar unit to get me through. (god bless our western hemisphere gadget obsession)

Specifically, needs adapter for iphone, ipod, Mini usb, Sony Ericsson, SLR and preferably with the universal power adapters on the off chance I do find a mains plug.

Please let me know what you have, I know there are not very common but I figure somebody may have one from a previous trip

Asking Price: 30.00

Shipping/Payment Instructions: Happy to cover spec delivery shipping costs

Brand new - £40.38 delivered

Looking at that tiny little solar panel, I bet it takes 3 days to fully charge a phone.

Yeah full kit with solar panel, wall charger, usb charger and some different attachments for phones, ipod, psp etc but it will charge anything that has a usb cable. All you need to do is plug your usb lead into the usb adaptor and it charges. It really is a great bit of kit.

They are really decent quality, I've seen some solar chargers before but they always look flimsy.

You may also want to buy one of these, as a backup. Only £14.99 each.
