Novothink Surge Solar Charger Challenged

Posted: 22 Apr 2010 11:11 PM PDT

Novothing unveils another solar charger for the geeks and techies. The Surge Solar Charger is a 2.8-ounce case that is available in six colors and covers the back, bottom and most sides of iPhones and costs about $80.

The Surge has a 1320 mAh battery inside that’s more powerful than our 1200mAh Mophie Juice Pack Air, and the case itself is only slightly thicker. The only problem is that as far as recharging the device, it seems that the Surge Solar Charger could do at best is 75%.
