TORONTO, April 5, 2006 -- You know the feeling…you’re away from home and with no place to recharge, you’re not sure how long your cell phone will last. Well now you have a way to keep your small electronics charged while you are on the go with www.Backup-Power.ca ‘s new line of solar bags by Eclipse Solar Gear.

The Eclipse Solar Gear backpacks, camera bags, and laptop messenger bags all incorporate solar panels into their design to capture power from the sun to charge your cell phone or other small electronic device (e.g., iPod, PDA, GPS, batteries for your camera, etc.).

Just plug the cigarette lighter adapter for your cell phone or other device into the connector in the bag and let the sun do its work. Not only will you be keeping your small electronics charged, you will also be doing the environment a favor by using less electricity at home.

All of the solar bags have been designed with style, quality and functionality in mind with multiple pockets and other practical design features.

"Ion" Camera/Video Gear Bag (CAN $169.00)
