Solar-fine 1350 - Image 1


Wanna go green and be environmentally-friendly? Digital World Tokyo has posted about the Solar-fine 1350 from Japanese company Links International, a gadget that could be just the piece of technology that you're looking for.

Judging from the images and what we can understand from the Solar-fine 1350's product page, this device turns solar energy into electricity in order to charge up the batteries of various handheld gadgets. It has a capacity of 1350mAh and a voltage of 3.7V and can be connected to a variety of handheld gaming devices, mobile phones, and portable media players.

Now, solar-powered devices are cool and all, but the problem always lies in getting enough sun at the right time. As some user have noted, the PSP screen doesn't handle exposure to direct sunlight too well, so if you wanna hook this up to your PSP you might have to find a nearby window so you can charge it up without being out under the sun yourself.

The Solar-fine 1350 takes a bit of a while -- around ten hours -- to charge. If you simply can't wait that long or if there's no sun, there's also a handy option to charge it via AC or USB. It carries a price tag of 7,980 Yen (US$ 66) and comes bundled with a variety of connectors for the devices that it supports.

# why notGuest 2007-05-16 07:08
why not combine a solar battery with the logitech play gear pocket case because if you're outside with the psp most of the day with the sun shining bright like i am i would like to have a solar charger mounted on the playgear pocket its just an opinion

This seems useful at first, but really, when are you going to get a chance to use it? At home: just use AC. In the car: just use DC. Out and about: it's going to get stolen, no doubt about it

# Wow, that's amazingGuest 2007-05-16 08:30
I've got a strong urge to type old in bolded letters, a large text and capital letters, but I dont think that would be sufficient for the amount of old in these things. You've been able to get these sorta of things for ages.

Sure, I use an AC charger at home and a DC charger in the car, but I could totally see using this while camping or riding in someone else's car or whatever.

# well... not really sure hereGuest 2007-05-16 11:24
it sounds good, but like timmy a said, when are you going to use it? if you can't find a car adapter or lost your ds recharger in a move or your cat ate it, you should buy this.

Just leave the guy alone. He was just asking a question, and as far as I know this is an entertainment blog not an english class.

Does it power the system WHILE your useing it? even more, if it DOES. Will it be able to power it while its overclocked. if not, no use to me in the field. handy for campers, not for work.

so that means i don't need exposure to sunlight since i'm always sitting near my computer with the lights on me, AND still get the good U.V that the sun gives?

# noGuest 2007-05-17 09:38
there must be sunlight, u can't charge it on the light coming from electricity because that light doesn't have enough power like sunlight
