Compact Solar Charger POWERplus Fox Solar Panel

Need an emergency boost for your phone on a sunny day? The foldable, compact POWERplus® Fox solar charger is an ultra-light and extremely simple solution that generates electricity directly from sunlight - without any built-in batteries!

It is an ideal gadget for emergency situations or as an addition to your equipment while hiking, camping or staying at the beach. Just unfold this small panel (the folded dimensions are only approx. 17x11 cm!) in a well-sunlit place and connect your mobile device (phone, GPS, small MP3 player) to the built-in USB-A port. Solar energy will be immediately transferred to the equipment being charged.

Important: POWERplus® Fox is a solar charger operating indirectmode. This means that it does not have an internal battery and does not store energy. Charging only takes place when the panel is exposed to sufficiently strong, direct sunlight.

Main Benefits of the POWERplus® Fox Solar Charger:

• Ultra-Portable and Light: Extremely compact dimensions when folded (approx. 17 x 11 x 3 cm) and low weight (approx. 200 g) make it fit anywhere - in a pocket, backpack, bag.
• Direct Solar Charging: The simplest possible way to use the free energy of the sun to charge USB devices (5V).
• Zero Internal Batteries = Zero Problems: No battery means no need to charge it, no cell wear, lower weight and simpler design.
• Emergency Charge for USB Devices: On a sunny day, it will provide you with enough energy to make an important call, send a message or check the map. Note: Loading will be very slow!
• Ecological Solution: Uses only clean solar energy.
• Extremely Easy to Use: Simply unfold, place in the sun and connect your USB cable to the USB-A port.

How does the Fox Charger work? (Direct Loading Only):

The foldable solar panel with a peak power of 3W (2x 1.5W, STC) converts sunlight directly into 5V electricity, supplied to the USB-A output port. The real effective output power in good sunlight is approximately2W. Since the device does not store energy, all generated power must be continuously received by the connected device.

Note: The output power of approx. 2W (corresponding to a current of approx.0.4A at a voltage of 5V) means that charging modern smartphones will bevery slow. Some devices (e.g. iPhone) may have charging problems with changing sunlight. In such cases, it is better to first charge a separate powerbank (if you have one) and then charge the phone from it.

What is POWERplus® Fox best used for?

• For emergency "keeping your phone alive" during a long hike on a sunny day.
• For slowly charging small USB devices (e.g. e-book reader, simple MP3 player) on the beach or camping.
• As a power source for very low energy DIY electronic projects (5V).
• As an educational tool to demonstrate the direct effects of solar energy.
