I have a friend who is always not returning calls and texts because her cell phone is not charged. Yes, she has a wall charger and a car charger, but her cables are left in places and she is always in a state of confusion about it. I wish there was a power source always available to her. Wait, what about solar power? How about a solar panel battery charger built into her briefcase or bag? That way, it would be available to load at any time.

Are there such built-in chargers? They Yes. But which ones work well, without weighing a million pounds? I want a charger that works with both my cell phone and my laptop and is integrated into my briefcase or bag. Ideally, I also don’t want to carry extra cables. Is it possible to find a solar panel battery charger that fits these criteria, a solar cell phone charger and a solar laptop charger in one neat bag?

Oh, it would be so nice for me to have such a thing. But for my friend it would be a lease on a new life. A life in which she would never be caught without communication devices. Whenever you’re wandering outside, or even on your desk, whenever there’s a window nearby, it could theoretically be charging.

Now what about the style? If it’s a briefcase, would it have a handle or shoulder strap? How about a wheeled bag style? How big or small could it be and would it weigh a little or a lot? Leather? Beige, black, white, coloured, textured with alligator or shiny with patent leather? Zips or Velcro? snaps? Canvas? Hard shell or soft shell? Could there be an end to the style and layouts to increase functionality?

Oh I wish oh how I wish I could find the perfect unit. A solar panel battery charger that was integrated into my briefcase could drastically change my life!
