The new Powertraveller PowerMonkey Extreme Solar Charger gives you power without boundaries.

The PowerMonkey Extreme for 5 volt devices is the big brother to the very successful and highly regarded Powermonkey Explorer, a charger that has quickly become the flagship product of the Powertraveller range.

Five years in development, the Powermonkey Extreme is the culmination of feedback from real power users in some of the most remote locations on the planet and embodies Powertraveller's understanding of customer requirements in the outdoor and adventure travel market.

The Powermonkey Extreme houses a massive 9000 mAh capacity Lithium Polymer battery and offers users real power in a compact, durable shell. The unit is capable of recharging most 5V devices, including an iPhone up to 6 times, a Garmin Edge 800 up to 6 times and standard mobiles up to 12 times.

The Powermonkey Extreme has two output channels; one channel outputs 700 mAh max (standard USB) whilst the DC port outputs 2.1 amps max to support the Apple iPad and other tablet computers.

It's worth noting that the iPad can be charged directly from the standard USB socket but will charge faster when using the gorilla-pad via the DC out port.

IP67 rated - meaning it is waterproof for 30 minutes down to 1 metre depth - and shock resistant, the Powermonkey Extreme is perfect for the outdoor, marine and adventure enthusiast as well as military and aid agencies.

Featuring an LCD screen which displays battery capacity level and working status (on/off), its unique one-touch friction swipe ON/OFF control is designed so the unit can only be turned on once connected to a device and cannot be accidentally switched on when not in use.

When the 5V device or tablet computer is fully charged, the auto shut-off function means the Powermonkey Extreme will turn itself off after 2 minutes so the user does not have to monitor the charge state of the device being charged - thus saving power.

The Powertraveller PowerMonkey Extreme Solar Charger can be recharged in three ways: via the universal mains charger, via the solar panel or via USB. Whilst the unit is recharging, the LCD screen will be red and, once fully charged, the screen will turn green. When the unit is in use, the screen will be blue!

The rugged, clam-shell design solar panel offers 3 W max output, allowing full recharge of the Powermonkey Extreme within 15 hours in optimum light conditions.

It also has a solar energy detection feature which activates the incorporated state-of-the-art MPPT (maximum power point tracker) technology, allowing the solar panel to charge the Powermonkey unit more efficiently in low light conditions.

Users can also simultaneously use the solar panel to charge the PowerMonkey Extreme Solar Charger whilst it is charging their device.

The solar panel is fully compatible with Apple iPhone/iPods and can be attached to tents or rucksacks via the included Velcro strap.

The Powermonkey Extreme unit weighs 250 g and measures 145 x 59.5 x 28 mm, whilst the solar panel weighs 210 g, measures 171 x 96 mm and is 18 mm deep when folded.

The unit has a very low static wastage (meaning left alone for a year it will still hold 75% of its charge) and includes a whole host of safety features to give you total peace of mind.

Available in four striking colours: Electric Blue, Graphite Grey, Safety Yellow and Vibrant Red.
