A power source when you need it, wherever you need it
United States -(Ammoland.com)- Whether you’re on the hunt or camping in the beauty of the great outdoors, having a sustainable & renewable energy source is vital to any enthusiast’s pack.
Measuring in at a mere 0.75” x 0.49” x 0.12” and weighing in at 9.4 Ounces, Olympia’s new SB5500 External Battery with Dual Solar Panels packs quite the punch for such a small package.
Designed for Olympia, the SB5500 features both an integrated USB cable and a micro-USB port for any and all charging necessities. With a rugged exterior guise created with outdoorsmen in mind, the SB5500 is perfect for the Outdoor Enthusiast or Hunter on the go.
The built-in dual solar charger panels allow for an efficient way to charge your small and mid-size electronic devices using the power absorbed from pure rays of sunshine. The device took a bit more than 3 days to fully charge in direct sunlight.
Not only can you charge the external battery using the power of the sun, but the integrated USB and micro-USB ports allow for a quick and easy charge using another electronic device such as a PC.
The 5V/1A USB Output is ideal for charging cellphones, while the 5V/2.1A USB Output is more ideal for the larger devices such as a tablet. While testing the SB5500, I’ve discovered that you can charge 3 electronic devices simultaneously, even whilst the product is currently charging itself.
The charge time for a mid-sized phone such as an iPhone 5S ran at around 2 & ½ hours and larger devices such as my very own Samsung Galaxy Note 4 ran at around 3 to 3 & ½ hours to fully charge the device.
Product Features:
- 5500mAh Lithium Polymer Battery
- Powered by the sun
- Integrated Micro-USB cable for a quick and easy charge
- Both an Integrated USB and cable micro-USB port for charging with the use of sunlight
- LED Battery Power Indicator
- 5V/1A USB Output and 5V/2.1A USB Output for charging cell-phones and tablets
- Can charge multiple devices simultaneously (Up to 3)
- Rugged Design for Outdoor and Recreational Activities
Package Includes:
- 1 Olympia SB5500 External Battery with Dual Charger Panels
- 1 Micro-USB Cable
