Gear of the year: Voltaic Fuse 4W Posted on 28 November 2012 VOLTAIC FUSE 4W This four-watt solar-charger system performed well in our tests, fully charging its internal 3 000-milliampere-hour storage battery in less than a day of full sunlight. And when the day is grey it can be charged via USB or with an optional wall adaptor. The system comes standard with plug adaptors and a USB socket to connect GPSs, phones or similar gadgets. If you need to charge something bigger – a laptop, say – go for the similarly configured but more powerful Fuse 10W. While there are a number of solar gadget-charging solutions on the market, the Voltaic Fuse chargers stand out for their innovative attaching mechanism. The straps and clips can be configured to convert any backpack, daypack or bicycle carrier into an efficient solar-power platform.
