Is There a Waterproof Solar Charger?
Many people using solar chargers want to know if there is a waterproof solar
charger available. Most of these people who like to use their solar chargers
while at the beach are afraid that the water splashing around will ruin their
chargers. Solar chargers are very durable and most can withstand the normal
splashing that occurs at the beach.
The sun power that is used to operate a solar charger is a great way for people
at the beach to keep their electrical devices running. Because solar chargers
are meant to be used outside, they are naturally waterproof. They are made to
withstand rain and other natural weather that may occur around them.
Weatherproof solar chargers
are easy to find, the actual concern is more for the
devices you are going to be charging with your solar energy charger. Most
electrical devices that you will be charging with your charger are not
weatherproof or waterproof at all. So even though your solar charger may be able
to withstand a little water being splashed on it, that does not mean that your
cell phone will be equally capable of operating in those watery conditions.
It is extremely important to keep all your electrical devices out of any water.
Most devices will be ruined with very little water coming into contact with
them. For those people who like to use their solar chargers at the beach, this
can present a huge dilemma. They want to use a solar charger while relaxing at
the beach, but they do not want to risk ruining their expensive electrical
devices.
A simple solution is to remain far enough away from the water that you will not
risk getting your device wet. You can also use an umbrella or other shading
device to keep your electronics out of the weather in case it suddenly starts to
rain. Just remember if you are using an umbrella to make sure and put your solar
charger in the sunlight. If your charger is not in full sunlight, it will take
much longer to charger your batteries or other devices.
Another solution for people who are afraid of water getting to their electrical
devices is that they can put them in a plastic bag and only have the cord of the
solar charger coming in through a small opening. This will protect the
electronic device while still allowing it to be charged. This is a great option
for sitting around the pool or at the beach. If the weather gets really bad, you
should consider just packing everything up and heading for cover.
Solar chargers are very durable and can withstand most weather related
conditions. It may still be necessary to remove your portable solar chargers
from the weather if it is very stormy or windy out. A little rain should not
bother them. Just make sure you have taken care of the devices you were charging
because they are much more susceptible to rain and water damage than a solar
charger is.
