Customer Reviews

Quality Product , Excellent Support
It's very annoying when your PDA or phone goes flat while waiting in the airport. This well-made device has been far more useful than I had hoped for. That the amount of charge is easily checked and seems to last for months is very reassuring. You can get cheaper alternative backup chargers, even solar ones, but nothing matches the simple beauty of this one. I'm off for a few days hill-walking soon and its good to know that I won't get caught out there either.
I had a problem with one mobile phone which wouldn't charge but Better Energy Systems sorted it out for me. I was amazed at the quality of support I received and they got the phone manufacturer to repair it under warranty.

Great little charger
I've Just bought this little charger, so I decided to see how long it would take to charge a nearly flat ipod battery. It completed the charge in just under an hour with enough to fully charge my phone too. By this time the Solio was only down to half charge on its internal battery, which means it had plenty left to charge my ipod again before needing to recharge the Solio. My one came with Wall charger with adaptors for most countrys, phone tips and a usb lead which can be used to charge you ipod or power anything which uses a usb to power it.

Essential
This is a great little gadget although a pricey one.
If you are going on holidays and need several mobile phone chargers and an ipod charger you will be better off with this solar charger and some connections.
I had mine for over a year and I have taken it with me to several trips in Central America and it worked just fine.
I also bought a rubber case made by the same company to protect it.
sadly is not compatible with many digital cameras and I hope they can sort that out for the next model.
