We’ve all been there. Your away from a power source, it could be on a trail, at the beach or even on a buss or train and one of your gadgets goes dead. I know this happens to me a lot. I do have a lot of gadgets though. Once we lose our precious electricity everything turns into dust and we’re back in the stone ages again. Not any more. The Solio can help and do it using the sun.

Now if your like me and you live somewhere that has very little sun you might be thinking “what good does having a solio do me?”. Well, the solio can also be plugged into an outlet and store a full charge for up to six months. This means you get at least one more charge out of your gadget.

Visit their site and see for yourself how cool this little gadget really is:
