Travelling and other outdoor activities wouldn’t be the same nowadays if you wouldn’t be able to document it and shared it online. But what sucks the most is when you’re stuck in the middle of your trip, on a long drive, with a drained battery and with no source of electricity to power up your gadgets. Enter Lifemate Apollo Solar Panel Charger.

Lifemate Products

Bringing in a Norwegian-designed, rugged and dependable outdoor power solutions brand, the Lifemate line perfectly fits the unique taste and lifestyle of outdoor enthusiast with passion for nature, adventure and life.

True to their words, Lifemate made us experience its power by partnering to Power Mac Center and bringing us to a rugged outdoor adventure in Mt. Pinatubo, Zambales.

Will tell you more about the adventure on a separate blog post. But for now let me tell you some reasons why you should get a Lifemate Apollo Solar Panel Charger.

Why use a Solar Power Charger?

  1. Sun power is your power

Sun provides an unlimited supply of energy source and the good thing of all its for free! Having a solar panel can be handy especially for situation that calls for it. All you got to do is lay it out directly under the sun attached your power bank or gadgets needed to be charge and just wait till its done.

What I did recently was to hang it on to my Rivacase bag, attached my power bank, and just let it hang till we reach our final destination. On sight, I was able to fully charge my device.

  1. Convenience

Long drive or travelling will always require you to bring too may stuff you think you would need along the trip. Bringing a Lifemate Apollo Solar Panel Charger wouldn’t really be hassle for it only would acquire 521 (L) x 230 (W) x 21 (H)mm space in your backpack. It’s light and compact for easy carrying and storage.

The Apollo 1 that I’ve used got two panels that are enough to fill my whole day needs. If you opted to bring a more powerful solar power, you can also try the Apollo 2 that got 4 panels or the more powerful one – Apollo 3 that got 8 panels that got 3 different power outputs (DC 5V/2.1A (max), DC 12V & 19V) giving you a full power output of up to 27.2W. It also got pouches to place the gadgets you would be charging.

  1. Compatibility

Apollo is best to use in different devices thou with limitations off course. Apollo 1 can only charge powerbanks and smartphones while the bigger ones can handle bigger gadgets like iPads and tablets. But the best strategy that I can suggest is to use it to charge your powerbanks, which Lifemate also got!

The palm-sized Power Eagle, with a capacity of 6000mAh, is lightweight and ideal for daytime or overnight excursions. The Power Eagle is designed for easy short duration outdoor sports like hiking, fishing and kayaking. The medium capacity 12,000 mAh Power Bear is perfect for most extended outdoor activities including yachting, ski trips and off-road excursions. For long-term outdoor activities such as camping, hunting and mountain climbing, the Power Lion guarantees a 24,000 mAh capacity to enable a safe and convenient outdoor experience.

The waterproof, crash and heat resistant power banks when combined with the Apollo line of solar panel chargers, greatly extend the operating time of mobile devices and their electronic applications such as GPS and satellite communications.

The only thing that concerns me is the incapacity of solar panels to store energy, well that’s why we need a power bank to store energy right!?

Lifemate products will be available in selected Power Mac Centers starting this May 2016. The Rivacase Laptop bag I used will be available as well this June 2016 at Php 1,990.00 each and is available in black, blue, gray and red.
