The Solar Charger is designed to efficiently charge any battery in the Anton/Bauer product line through solar cell technology. Weighing a half pound (24 kg), the charger case connects to a 1.76 pound (.80 kg), soft, foldable panel (59 inches x 43 inches; 150 x 109 cm) of solar cells capable of bringing a battery to full charge nearly as quickly as those chargers connected to AC mains.

The Solar Charger is capable of charging the popular Anton/Bauer Dionic 160 battery in four hours when full sunlight is available. The Dionic 90 battery reaches full charge at 3.5 hours, while the HyTRON 140 reaches peak performance in three hours. ProPac charges in 1.5 hours, the HyTRON 50 in two hours and the Trimpac in one hour. The Anton/Bauer Solar Charger is expected to ship in Q4.
