Frequently Asked Questions
Is Solio compatible with my iPhone? The USB port replicator tip--included in the box--is also compatible with iPods, MP3 players, and many digital cameras. A separately available adapter is required for the iPhone 3G and second generation iPod touch.
Can I charge Solio on a cloudy day and can it be left outdoors? Yes, Solio will charge on a cloudy day, although less efficiently than when under clear skies. Cloud cover can also be too thick to allow enough sunlight through to the solar panels. Solio is engineered to be rugged and weather resistant, but it is not entirely weatherproof. Solio should not be left out in wet, rainy, or snowy conditions without a protective covering.
Can I charge a device while charging the Solio? Yes, providing that the Solio has a bit of power on it. Please note that as the Solio is transferring power to your device it will not gain much of a charge, if at all. If the current drawn is greater than the amount that sunlight conditions allow the Solio to charge it's internal battery, you may not significantly receive a charge from the Solio.

- Not worth the money
Basically, the recharge takes forever and often doesn't even reach the full capacity; charging devices doesn't reach fullness either. Don't buy if you can help it.

- It made a huge difference in my daughter's life
I bought this for my daughter who is a Peace Corps volunteer in Togo in a community with no electricity.It was a godsend.She is now able to charge her cell phone and her iPod with no problem, and we worry much less about her not having her cell phone available in case of emergency.The solar charger works perfectly for her; she puts it out to charge during the day and can charge her phone and iPod at night.I believe she can also charge her battery recharger, but am not sure.She is thrilled ...

I bought this before going to summer camp for a week with my son's BSA troop, and honestly, I expected to reap more envy from the other technophiles in the troop than to actually put it to much use (admittedly a shallow motive for buying it).But I was surprised and pleased to actually find it of value.
I charged it from my computer before setting off to camp with the idea that it would be an emergency back-up battery from my mobile phone.By Wednesday evening I'd made a few calls from ... Read More
Rating: - JoWow stole my money.
I ordered this charger for my husband's birthday in February.It did not work (at all).Defective, okay, it happens.Returned to JoWow and they are STILL (June 15) giving me the runaround/no longer responding to my request for a refund or replacement. Eighty six bucks is a lot of money to me.
NEVER order from JoWow.
Rating: - Solio Charger a bust
I purchased the Solio charger so I could charge my iphone on the AIDS/LifeCycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The charger was almost useless.Mounted on the back of my bike, only once in 7 days of biking did it charge more than halfway. When it was charged less than half, it would not charge my iphone.Complete waste of money.
