Can I charge my laptop?

Not yet. We look forward to being able to offer a bag in the future that can charge your laptop, but the technology is not ready at this time.

How long will it take to charge the internal battery in my bag?

On a sunny day it will take about 6-8 hours, on a cloudy day it will take more time. The internal battery will store the solar energy for several days, so that you can charge your cell phone or iPod day or night.

How can I make sure I am collecting energy with my bag?

It's simple, just expose the panel to the sun. Place it in your window at work or home, face the panel towards the sun at a café, or walk/bike around town with the panel exposed. Even on cloudy or rainy days, energy is collected through the UV light of the sun. The battery pack has a green charging light that will illuminate when it is receiving a charge.

What type of light will charge my bag?

The solar panels have been developed to collect a charge from the sun. Indoor lights will not work.

Can the solar panel get wet?

Yes, the panel in the bag is water and weatherproof.

What are the specs on the solar panel?

The output is 7.2 volts, 300 mA-400mA.

Can I take my solar bag through airport security?

Yes! We have traveled with our bags and even charged them in the window on the plane.

How much does the battery weight?

Less than half a pound.
