Battery ? Out on the road, most of us have a habit of making sure that our portable electronics are in the charge mode before turning in for the night. A swift kick in the battery ( charge up ), keeps us in touch with loved ones and business associates as well as wide ranging friends.

More and more items charge from a USB outlet, and away from home that can limit charging opportunitys. Many plug into their laptop, accepting the loss of battery time for computer operations.

Solar panels keep up the Ollie's batterys and the batterys supply power to this USB/power outlet. At $1. each, we asked them to combine shipping and bought three, bringing the total delivered to the house, $8. !

A handy indicator light lets you know when power is there.
