From the heart of Africa to the Hardanger Glacier, the powermonkey-eXplorer portable charger has proved to be an invaluable piece of kit, providing essential power in the most remote locations. Incorporating the new Solarmonkey solar charger, the powermonkey-eXplorer lets you charge wherever, whenever.

But powermonkey-eXplorer is not just for adventure travellers!  Compatible with the majority of mobile phones, iPods (now including iPhone 3GS/4G), MP3 / MP4, PDAs and portable games consoles including the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS & DS-Lite, powermonkey-eXplorer is a portable charger for your devices - giving you 96 hours of standby on your mobile, 40 hours on your iPod, 5 hours on your games console, 48 hours on your PDA and 6 hours on MP3/MP4 players.

Make sure your powermonkey-eXplorer's got full power at all times by charging one of three ways: via the solarmonkey portable solar charger, included universal mains charger or via USB.

The solarmonkey draws power from the sun and coverts it into handy power! The kit now includes a useful Velcro strap, enabling the solarmonkey to be attached to a rucksack - perfect for charging your devices when you're out and about in the sun.  It can even be hung from a window, left in a car or taken anywhere the sun shines!  Make sure the powermonkey-eXplorer portable charger unit is turned OFF when re-charging from the solar slave in order to reduce charging time!  You can even use the solarmonkey solar charger to recharge your device directly - so you have back up power at all times. For example, plug the solarmonkey into the back of one of our Soundtraveller speakers and it will run your speakers from the power of the sun - no batteries needed!

Ultra compact, tough, powerful and Made for iPod approved, the powermonkey-eXplorer is water resistant and made from rubberised casing so can take whatever life throws at it, yet it remains the lightest, most versatile portable 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 anti-discharging protection. The included mains charger has interchangeable heads for UK, Europe, US and Australia - so you can use it in over 150 countries around the world!
