Mobile Charging For The UK's Climate
Hybrid Solar/Wind/Wind Up charger for where the sun doesn't always shine
Despite the recent mini heatwave we all know the UK's not exactly the
sunniest place on the planet, and not ideal for solar powered battery
back ups. One answer for the power hungry mobile devices we carry
up the hills is the Miniwiz HYmini, a multi input charger with
integrated battery. The HYmini is a handheld, lightweighth, universal
charger/adapter that can use wind, solar power, wind up or conventional
wall plug to charge most 5V devices.

The HYmini multi-input mobile charger
The internal 1200mAh lithium ion rechargeable stores the power for when
it's needed and you can even link multiple solar panels together for
faster charging. The wind turbine glows green when actively charging
and works with wind speeds from 9 to 40 mph - making them ideal for use
on the UK's hills. Having an internal battery to store the charge gives
you the option of pre-charging at home then topping up as and when
required in the field. The device comes with a USB plug for connecting
cameras, GPS devices and MP3 players and can be used with an optional
extra handlebar mount for cyclists.

When all else fails you can manually wind the HYmini to charge the
battery
