UK based company Solar Technology has developed a range of charging devices that can charge up the internal batteries and that enables it power mobile phones, pda’s and other related electrical items that require a recharging of the battery pack.

What’s more you do not need to live in Spain where there is constant sunshine blazing down, there Free Loader as the system is called can recharge the battery pack, so you can be using an iPod while it is being powered by the Free Loader system, this means that you can operate the device without the battery being charged, hence if you use the Free Loader you may not have to pay for the charging of the battery packs of mobile phones, pda’s, games devices, digital cameras and music players.
