Extreme monkeying

UK company Powertraveller has designed a range of electro wizardry to charge all sorts of electronic devices on the go. The Powermonkey Extreme will plug it into a bike, car (if you have a 12V USB type charger), wall, computer or the included solar cell to juice up the 9000mAh Lithium polymer battery. The unit can charge a smart phone 3-6 times, a tablet ½ to 2 times. Use the cigar outlet to charge anything you’d plug in the car. The Polysilicone solar panel will fully charge the battery in about 18 hours and is designed to be strapped to the outside of packs or tents. Hang it off the outside of a hydration pack while you ride and collect rays for the day. The kit comes with a clamshell carry case and an impressive array of adaptor tips to suit most modern devices.
