August 5, 2005—PowerFilm Solar, the solar division of Iowa Thin Film Technologies, Inc., has launched PowerFilm AA Foldable Solar Charger, which precision charges AA batteries.
The solar charger is ultra lightweight, thin, and recharges batteries in a highly effective manner in varying sunlight conditions, says the company. This proprietary, patent-applied-for product optimizes charging time and charging current while still protecting the batteries from over-charging damage. “Unlike other solar chargers for AA batteries, this new charging circuit does not get confused from variations in current typically seen from a solar panel, said Frank Jeffrey, Chairman of PowerFilm Solar’s parent company Iowa Thin Film Technologies.
The charger recharges 2 or 4 AA rechargeable (NiMH or NiCad) batteries to provide power for any device that uses AA batteries. The charger weighs less than 4 extra batteries and folds to pocket size, says PowerFilm.
