There are many devices that allow us to charge the battery of our devices in a simple way, and it is increasingly common to see various solutions that offer us the ability to do this in a portable way. But what we surely did not expect was to see that a company was going to create a gadget for carry the battery of our smartphone directly from a hat, And although it may seem strange, this incorporates a solar panel along with a power bank to create an independent charging system.
More and more companies are joining the trend of creating devices that anyone can carry around to charge their phone, or to perform any type of additional function that we would not normally find in something that serves as an accessory. wearables They are a type of product that is here to stay, and they are often extremely innovative, although surely no one expected to see a solar panel in the shape of a hat that allows you to charge a mobile phone.
This device lets you charge a smartphone with your head, literally
Every day we see new things that can catch our attention, and it is extremely common that more and more companies join in trying to create new developments that offer users the ability to do something they couldn’t do before. Although in this case it is not something too strange, since we are talking about a device of portable charging How could it be a power bank, with the peculiar detail that it is shaped like a hat and that it incorporates solar panels to recharge the integrated battery.
The EcoFlow Power Hat is a new kind of gadget that aims to become a reliable electronic device that we can carry around to help us with something quite simple but problematic, the lack of energy in the devices we may have such as smartphones. This hat actually has a rather simple idea behind it, which is to combine the power of solar panels with a portable battery in an accessory that is designed, primarily, to prevent the sun from shining directly on our heads.
This actually gives us a double advantage by taking advantage of sunlight to generate energy while at the same time avoiding any problems by preventing the most harmful rays from affecting us on the entire upper part of the body, since it is quite large, so it offers considerable shade. It also has an additional advantage, and that is that it has IP65 resistance to dust and water, which does not mean that it can be put in a pool or in the sea, but it does give it enough resistance to avoid rain, for example.
Portable and stylish, but is it functional?
Considering that we are talking about a hat that weighs almost 370 grams and that has a retail price that will exceed €100 when it goes on sale in mid-September, it is normal to wonder if it is really something functional. First of all, if we look at the charge it offers, it incorporates a battery with a capacity of 400mAh, which would allow a smartphone to be charged in about 3 or 4 hours, which may seem like a long time if we are standing still but it flies by if, for example, we are walking in the countryside.
As we have already mentioned, the device itself can be quite large, which can make us think that it is uncomfortable to carry, but it has the advantage of being able to fold it up to easily transport it in a bag, which means that it does not have any negative points beyond the price (and obviously the use that can be given to it).
