Freeloader Pro + batterijoplader AA/AAA
De Freeloader Pro met de CamCaddy is de meest veelzijdige zonneoplader voor het opladen van vrijwel al uw apparatuur, waar ook ter wereld. Met een instelbaar uitgangsvoltage tot maar liefst 9,5 Volt kunt u zelfs uw MP4-speler, draagbare DVD-speler of digitale camera opladen!
Met de hoog-rendement zonnecellen wordt de interne batterij in 7 tot 9 zonne-uren weer helemaal opgeladen. Ook kunt u de batterij via een USB-aansluiting opladen. Eenmaal opgeladen is uw mobiele telefoon weer 70 uren standby of zijn de accu's van uw digitale camera weer helemaal opgeladen.
Voorzien van een stevige aluminum behuizing is de Freeloader Pro de onmisbare reisgezel van iedereen die geen moment meer zonder zijn digitale apparaten kan!
De meegeleverde CamCaddy is de enige adapter met een verstelbare klem, waarmee. vrijwel alle (rechthoekige) accu's opgeladen kunnen worden.

Part of me is still amazed by the fact that what seems like a simple panel, left sitting in the sun, can store enough power to charge an ipod or a phone. There is something almost supernatural about using this kind of free energy, a feeling I really like!
A little while ago we decided to look for the ultimate personal solar charger, a unit that would do it all and do it in style. Our research took us to Freeloader, arguably the forerunner in personal solar technology. Their solar chargers are well known in the outdoor/adventure community and their new Freeloader Pro is regarded as the top expression of the art of personal solar technology. We decided to put it to the test.
It should be pointed out at this point that we carry a lot of technology on some of our trips. The nature of what we do and the areas we do it in means that we need a whole array of gear from portable GPS devices to the humble ipod and of course phones, laptops and cameras.
The Freeloader Pro is a welcome addition to our traveling gadget shop as it really is very portable; the shell is well designed and folded up takes no more room than a first generation mobile phone or PDA. We were rather worried at first, our research brought up a whole array of negative reviews on the first generation Freeloader model, people were getting varied results, especially in the UK and part of me felt the Freeloader Pro would have the same shortfalls, on the other hand it is the PRO version so expectations were high. That being said I packed it along with the all important camera battery charger, the AA battery charger (an optional extra) and finally the right connections for my iphone, now to find some sun!
This test was carried out in the middle of July in Europe so it probably won’t compare to what you would expect on a typical winter’s day in England, on the other hand it is designed for travel usage so some lucky people will end up using it on the move on some lovely tropical island. I allowed the charger its first full charge via USB (as specified in the instructions) then used it to power-up my camera battery which it did very well. The next charge was going to be fully solar. On a remote beach in France I set the panels for the first proper solar test (a little red double LED shows you the correct charging status) and sat the unit on my towel whilst I went about the typical tourist thing… I gave the unit a whole 6 hours of charge in direct light after which I checked the battery status: 2 out 4 bars on the light ‘halo’ (a neat charge indicator). Not a huge amount but it felt like it would be enough to power my iphone. At the end of a busy beach day I connected it all up and, hey presto, the phone lit up, in a few minutes I was able to charge the phone from half battery to full, for free. Very exciting for a solar newbie!
The next 4 days the solar charger was charged in a similar way, never really ever getting close to full charge, it powered my iphone (notoriously power hungry), my camera once and a portable usb speaker that was always fully charged in a matter of minutes. For my type of usage it turned out to be a nifty little gadget and well worth the investment. The price is a little on the high side when you compare it to the Freeloader and the AA/AAA battery charger as an optional extra seemed a little much but overall you do get the feeling the products are well designed and they don’t feel cheap in anyway.
I think that all in all it can make for an excellent addition to anyone’s travel packing list, it works extremely well as a backup charger and will give you that extra safety net when you are in a remote location. It would not be something I would rely on as my only means of power though, the AA charger never really worked for me, the charge was always minimal and never enough to keep the GPS unit’s high capacity batteries running. On the other hand, I will most definitely be packing it on my next trip, let’s hope it’s to a lovely Caribbean island!

The FreeLoader Pro solar-powered battery charger consists of two solar panels which, when folded for storage, are around the size of an Apple iPod. When unfolded these cells convert sunlight into electricity, which is then stored in the internal 3.7V, 1600mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This power can then be used to charge the batteries of mobile phones, MP3 players and other electronic devices using the included adapters.
For photographers, the addition of the CamCaddy charging plate means that most popular compact and DSLR camera batteries can be fully charged. However, batteries with a larger capacity than 1600mAh will only be charged to 1600mAh on a single charge.
The manufacturer, Solar Pro International, claims that in direct, bright sunlight it takes nine hours to fully charge the battery. In overcast conditions or when light is filtered through a glass window, it can take considerably longer. I found the FreeLoader could charge even through a train carriage window on an overcast day, albeit at just half its potential. The device can also be charged via a USB socket and an LED indicator tells you the current charging state.
Once charged, the FreeLoader Pro has enough power to charge your chosen battery for between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the device. While it is not going to replace a conventional charger or a spare battery, it is perfect for keeping in your car or camera bag.
