These Solar Sockets Can Stick to Any Window for Power On-the-Go

— April 27, 2014 — Tech

Bags are filled with chargers and cables to avoid this, but this portable solar socket could easily replace all of those. When you're short on sockets but have a ton of sunlight, you can stick the socket on any window and keep yourself topped up at all times.

Never worry about that little battery sign telling you that you're running out of time ever again with the portable solar socket.
