SCOTTEVEST Solar Panels Voltaic Solar Bags

How do you think if you use this Equipment in Emergency area?OK?
The solar panels enable you to recharge your USB compatible devices on the go, either while wearing the jacket or with the panels removed. When attached, the solar panels compliment the jacket’s design. The solar panels charge a small battery - about the size of a deck of cards. The battery powers your device almost immediately after the solar panels are exposed to sunlight. Once the battery is fully charged, the panels can be removed and your portable electronic device can tap into the stored power.

Typical charge times in direct sunlight range from 2-3 hours, but direct sunlight is not required. The battery pack can charge any device compatible with Universal Serial Bus (USB) chargers, including cell phones, PDAs, Game Boys, MP3 players, and other mobile devices. (NOTE: USB cables are not included, but are readily available from numerous sources, including www.ziplinq.com, www.belkin.com, and Radio Shack). Also, check out our latest accessory, the Zipcord Retractable Mobile Phone USB Charger.

The solar panels can be attached to the following SeV jackets:

Voltaic Solar Bags

The Voltaic solar bags are mobile power generators, designed to charge your devices without tying you to a power outlet, which makes them ideal for traveling.

Just plug a standard car charger into the bag and recharge most small electronic devices including: cell phones, cameras, two way radios, PDA's, and MP3s. Note: it is not designed to charge laptops.

If you don't have a car charger, the bags come with a set of 11 standard adaptors for common cell phones and other devices. We also offer a full range of optional adaptors.

Embedded in the outside of the bags are three lightweight, tough, waterproof solar panels which generate up to 4 watts of power. This means quicker charge times!

Included with each bag is a Li Ion battery pack which stores any surplus power generated, so it is available when you need it - not just when the sun is up. The battery pack can also be charged using an AC travel charger or car charger (both included). This makes the Voltaic bags just as useful on the grid as off.

Battery Pack

The battery pack clips inside the back pocket of the Voltaic solar bags and allows it to function as a mobile power reservoir, not just a solar charger.

Inside the battery pack is a 4,400m Ah at 3.6 volts Li Ion battery.
It includes:

  • A voltage converter with three settings 3.5, 5 and 7.2 Volts,
  • A charge indicator, and
  • A built-in LED torch.



  • Adapters/Chargers

    The Voltaic backpack comes with a set of standard adaptors pictured here. To charge a device you can use a standard car charger, or a USB charger. There are also direct adaptors for popular cell phones, and a set of universal adaptors.

    It also includes an AC travel charger and a car charger for charging the battery when solar charging is not practical.

    In addition to these standard items, we offer a range of optional adaptors for cell phones, cameras, PDA's etc.



    Solar Panels

    Integrating the solar panels into the back pocket of the bag is a key (patent pending) innovation of the Voltaic backpack. It means that unlike a typical solar charger:

  • There is no need to unpack and setup the panels
  • There is no need to stay in one place, and
  • All of your devices can stay securely inside the bag.

    The panels are built into the back of the bag in a way that allows them to articulate, so the bag itself does not feel stiff or restrictive.


  • They generate up to 4 watts of power, enough to charge most portable electronics (other than laptops). A typical cell phone will take 4-6 hours to charge in direct sun- see approximate charging times.

    The panels are built on a strong but lightweight
    aluminum plastic composite, specifically selected to withstand the rigors of outdoor use.
