Solar charger nowadays always equipped with extra source of charging the battery apart from charging by the sun alone. This is an user-concerning feature. Apart from that, LED indication is used to determine if the sunlight is enough to start a charging process. This can tell the user when to switch to another source of charging. The recent solar charger in the market are compatible with most USB-powered devices such as camera, smartphone, GPS, E-Readers and so on and of course compatible with popular products such as Iphone, Ipad and Ipod.
