The Voltaic Backpack and Converter
- Plug and Go


Voltaic Systems 1001, 4 watt Solar Powered 1,850 Cubic Inch Backpack, Black

If you're one who loves to commune with nature, you can now travel almost anywhere and carry enough solar power with you even when the sun is already out. The Voltaic solar powered backpack charger and converter, is a convenient way of carrying electricity while you are far away from a power grid or an electrical outlet.

As you hike, trek, bike or even laze in the beach during the day, 4 waterproof photo-Voltaic (solar) panels are attached to the exterior of the backpack and can generate full power up to 4 watts. People who love to camp or go on nature trips no longer have to worry about their electronic gizmos running out of battery charges. Whereas before, they had to have different sets of fully charged rechargeable batteries just to make sure their cell phones, iPods, cameras, reading devices and pda, won't go powerless on them when they need it most.

As an additional piece of info, Voltaic is a term used for any device that has the ability to produce electric current. The term was coined after the named of Alessandro Volta, one of the earlier physicists who pioneered the development of electric cells or batteries during the 1800s.

Now here's how a Voltaic Backpack and Converter can work conveniently for you:

  1. You don't have to stay in one place as you collect and store solar power. You can walk or bike around without feeling weighed down because the Voltaic Backpack and Converter weighs like an ordinary non-solar bag. So if you're going to put your electronic devices in, it will practically have the same weight as your regular bag with your books in it.
  2. A single Voltaic backpack can have as much as 11 adaptors fully wired to the solar panels, which you can use for charging almost any type of cell phone and digital devices like cameras, MP3, iPods, portable radios, pda and handheld game consoles.
  3. Each device can be accommodated inside individual pockets with their own wire channels, so you can charge directly and simultaneously while the solar panels are storing up electricity. In fact, the external solar panels serve as protective armors for the fragile electronic devices inside.
  4. The Voltaic backpack has an internal Li-Ion battery pack which can store the solar power collected. This will allow you to have electric power when you need it even while at the top of the mountain or stranded on an island and most importantly, during the night.
  5. It produces about 4 watts and 2,800 milliamp hours of battery storage. You need about 4-6 hours of direct sunlight to fully charge a cell phone and you can charge 2 to 3 gadgets all at the same time.
  6. Now if there is no sun and you would like to store energy, you can charge the internal Li-Ion battery pack using an AC travel charger or DC car charger. The Voltaic Backpack and Converter, comes with car charger socket and USB adaptor.


There are different Voltaic Backpack and Converter models. Some have the capacity to charge only handheld devices including 15.4in widescreen notebooks, while others can charge laptops aside from the small electronic gadgets.

As your green travel equipment, you don't have to worry about chaffing or getting your own backs heated since the backpack is fully lined with high density padding while the straps and rear panels are made of nylon mesh to let air flow in and keep the material cool for comfort. The fabric itself is waterproof and UV resistant because they are made from recycled PET bottles.

You can also use this Voltaic Backpack and Converter at home, instead of using your electric power outlets to charge up your electronic devices by simply exposing the backpack’s solar panels to the sun. It doesn't really have to be hot, simply sunny will do.
