Tired of having your phone plugged in all the time? Now there’s a much more original solution!
Charging your phone is a gesture that is rooted in the daily lives of many people. It is estimated that on average, a smartphone owner will charge it once or twice a day. Some people with a really worn-out phone can even go as far as charging their phone three to four times a day!
Such uses inevitably have an effect on the phone’s battery, but also on your electricity bill. In addition, it is generally quite restrictive to permanently plug in your device as some charger cables can be long or annoying to carry everywhere. To correct this, it is already possible to switch to wireless charging on many modern phones. This solution allows you to do without a charger, but consumes a lot of electricity for generally quite slow charges.
But did you know that there is now a way to charge your phone without using a traditional charger and without using your home’s electricity? It also means you won’t run out of battery if you’re far from an electrical outlet or experience a power outage!
Many French people now equip themselves with a charger or an external battery with a solar charging function. The principle is simple: these devices will be placed outside, facing the sun’s rays, in order to absorb them and fill up with power. You can then use them to recharge your phone wherever you are!
Solar chargers are becoming more and more popular on the phone charger market and on e-commerce sites. The company Lidl offers its own external battery from Silvercrest at the very low price of 12.99 euros in stores. It is also possible to find equivalents on Amazon and Fnac if you prefer online shopping.
Of course, a solar charger has its advantages and disadvantages. While it does not consume your electricity, it is nevertheless dependent on the sun’s rays and therefore the weather to function properly. So make sure you are located in a place that is not too cloudy or even rainy, in order to efficiently charge your phone every day!
