OK … The shit has just hit the fan and you are getting out of town only with what you can put in you’re car, or backpack … how are you going to keep you’re radio or cell phone charged? The batteries are only going to keep them running for a short time … So, unless you can find a working power plug, or you are strong enough to have a 4,000 Watt Generator in you’re backpack, you are going to need something small, but powerful enough, to keep you’re electronics working.
And like the majority of us, you are now shit out of luck … unless you read this posting, and quickly got off you’re duff and act fast.
There are several makes and models on the market … this one is being used as an example only.

| Frequently Asked Questions: Q: How does The Pocket Socket Hand Crank Generator work? A: Turning the hand crank on the Pocket Socket drives a generator inside the device creating electrical power. This power is converted electronically to 120 volts, the same voltage as a household outlet. Q: How much do I have to crank the Pocket Socket to sufficiently charge a device? A: It is the same as plugging it in a socket at home. If you have a cell phone a couple of minutes cranking will allow you to make a phone call. One minute of cranking is equal to one minute of talk time. Other devices like rechargeable flashlights will have many minutes of use per minute of charging. This is determined by the charger. The Pocket Socket is more powerful than the charger so the charger determines the charge rate. Q: What gadgets are compatible with the Pocket Socket? A: Virtually every charger is compatible with the Pocket Socket. A cell phone, satellite phone (Iridium Satellite Phone 9505A), iPod, mp3 player, GPS, digital camera, camcorder, rechargeable light and flashlight, tablet, iPad and Kindle, and 60 W equivalent compact fluorescent light bulb have been successfully tested. Almost any charger that is less than the 10 watts will work. Laptops typically will not work. Cell phone chargers are typically 4.2 watts. To determine if your charger is less than 10 watts multiply the output voltage of your charger times the output current of your charger to find its power. This is written on the charger. Example 5V 850 mA (m is thousands so this is .85) is 4.25 and within the 10 W capability of the Pocket socket. If you are unsure contact us, or try it. It should not be hard to turn and should indicate charging after a few seconds. If it is hard to turn do not force it as you could damage the Pocket socket. Q: My device charges from a USB, will it still work with the Pocket Socket? A: Yes, all that is required is a USB outlet converter, which will allow your product to plug into the Pocket Socket. These are cheaply available at most electronics retailers. |
