Ultra compact, tough and powerful, the powermonkey-eXplorer is water resistant, made with a rubberized casing so it can take whatever life throws at it, yet it remains the lightest, most versatile charger available today.
Featuring an LCD screen that displays battery capacity and the level of charge, the powermonkey-eXplorer also has short-circuit protection, over-charging protection and over-discharging protection. The included mains charger has interchangeable heads for UK, Europe, US and Australia - so you can use in over 150 countries around the world!
The Solar Slave draws power directly from the sun - giving you free power wherever you are. Make sure your powermonkey-eXplorer's got full power at all times by charging it with the handy solar slave, which can be attached to your pack, hung from a window, left in a car or taken anywhere the sun shines!
You can even use the solar slave to recharge your device directly - so you have back up power at all times.

Lots of adapters, none fit
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
All I can think of is because this product is manufactured by a UK company none of the adapters fit phones, cameras, etc. E-mailed the company and they never responded. I have done Google searches to no avail. Bottom line: It is a good idea, but if none of the adapters fit all you can use it for is a paperweight.
