Disruptive Technology Channels has unveiled details of its new solar powered charger, the Solio.

The new charger marks the latest in a long line of iPod accessories to be brought to the market, offering its own unique innovation.

The portable charger uses ergonomically designed solar panels to ensure it can keep going, with the mains acting as an alternative power supply.

Tom Dudderidge, managing director at Disruptive Technology Channels, said the Solio was a “fantastic accessory for any serious iPod user”.

“Using its solar panels or mains adaptor, it can store enough power for a complete iPod battery recharge. This means that iPod users will never have to worry about battery life again when they are on the move!”

The charger takes just eight to ten hours of direct sunlight to fully charge the empty internal battery.
