Freeloader Pico Solar Charger

Power up your devices with the rays of the Sun

Being a monkey, Timmy the ThinkGeek monkey is all too familiar with life in the wilderness, swinging from trees, flinging poo on unsuspecting ground-dwellers, eating bananas. But things have changed. Back in the day, you had to write a message on a leaf and Pico Solar send it from monkey to monkey across the jungle. Today, there are smartphones and netbooks and laptops – oh my! And do you know what? There’s nowhere to charge your electronics in the woods.

That’s right – in the wilderness, there’s nobody to hear your low battery beep.

Enter a life-changing device for the electronics-savvy yet outdoorsy monkey like yourself – the Freeloader Pico, a compact and lightweight solar charger that will charge up your most vital electronic devices while you’re far away from an outlet. That’s right, you can freeload off the Sun! The premium quality crystalline solar cells will soak in the Sun’s rays by day, and when night falls, you can plug your phone or GPS into the Freeloader Pico and charge it up in just a half hour! When you trek through the wilderness, do it with peace of mind knowing your vital devices will stay charged in case of emergency.
