Voltaic Generator Solar Laptop Charger |
 |
 The Voltaic Generator includes a set of "Standard Adaptors and Chargers".
Adapters for most common laptops are included as well as adapters for common cell phones. See detailed specifications below. Please note: Apple does not allow 3rd parties to license the MagSafe plug, so this is not yet included in the standard set. An optional reconfigured MagSafe charger is available below.
The adapter set includes a car charger socket you can plug in a standard car charger and power most small consumer electronics, including phones, PDAs, cameras, MP3 players, etc.
The battery has an integrated USB socket which works with most USB chargers. For iPhones and iPods, use the included iPhone adapter connected to the DC Out Cable at 6.5-8.4V Volts.
There is also a lightweight AC travel charger, so you can still recharge the battery when not in the sun. We also offer a range of optional adaptors for cell phones, cameras, and PDA's, which are sold separately and detailed below.
Note: Not all manufacturers enable charging from external batteries and our adaptors do not fit all laptops. Results may vary by model, but laptops by Apple, Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo and Panasonic typically charge. Brands less likely to charge include Fujitsu, Sony and Toshiba. Returns will be accepted for refund of any bags in new condition for up to 60 days from purchase. For more information contact support@voltaicsystems.com.
|
| Note: Standard adaptors and chargers are already included with the Voltaic solar bags. They are listed here for informational purposes and are sold as replacements. |

Charging requirements vary for different laptops. Not all laptops will respond consistently to the Voltaic battery and some will not charge at all.
Avoid Recharging Laptop Battery: It is preferable to run the laptop from the Voltaic battery rather than recharge the laptop battery, since energy is lost in recharging (approx. 15-30%). It can be hard to see whether a laptop is charging. Open the battery window and note the power remaining. If running, this percentage will remain constant until the Voltaic battery is depleted. Dell laptops also show the hours remaining over 1,000 (not accurate) when drawing external power.
When the Laptop Battery Charges: For some laptops the battery can be removed and the laptop will run from the Voltaic battery e.g. some Panasonic Toughbooks. For others (e.g. Apple laptops) the battery can't be removed so the laptop battery charges then depletes (sometimes at a slower rate than normal). Overall the use time is still extended.
Adjust Power Settings to Minimize Power Use: When running from the Voltaic battery adjust the "plugged in" power settings. Adjusting screen brightness and turning off WiFi will also increase run time.
May Not Restart a Flat Laptop: In this case, switch to the Voltaic battery early do avoid depleting the laptop battery.
