iPhone/iPad solar chargers

Anker PowerCore Solar 20000

£54.99 FROM amazon.co.uk FEATURES 20,000mAh solar charger, includes 1x USB-C port (18W), 1x USB-A port (12W)

This charger is designed for outdoor use – charge it up before you go, and then let the power of the sun continue to trickle-charge your iPhone or iPad (including the iPad Pro). So long as you don’t expect miracles – it would take days to recharge the battery from solar power alone – you’ll find it a handy travel companion. A 10,000mAh model is also available (£44.99).

Pxwaxpy Solar Power Bank

£28.95 FROM amazon.co.uk

FEATURES 26,890 mAh, 2x USB-A ports Looking for a heavy duty solar-powered battery that won’t break the bank? The Pxwaxpy has a larger battery than the Anker, but there’s no USB-C option, it’s not waterproof and the two USB-A ports are slower (10W and 5W respectively). Nevertheless, there’s plenty of juice for multiple recharges – even without being able to top up the charger using solar.
