Everyone knows this: On the go, whether traveling, waiting for a flight or train. Naturally, you want to keep your iPhone ready to use. Unfortunately, there are often no power outlets in these public places. When the iPhone’s internal battery suddenly runs out of power, it’s worth having a working plan B while you’re on the go.
Wolfgang Hartmann Consumer Products GmbH (WHCP) is introducing the Solar Battery Pack for iPhone 4 GP400is, manufactured by Green Power Electronic, exclusively in Europe. The GP400is is an additional battery pack that helps fully recharge the iPhone while on the go, doubling the amount of time the device can go without recharging.
The GP400is comes in the form of a black hard plastic shell into which the iPhone 4 slides easily and then locks securely in place. The GP400is weighs less than 100 grams and fits snugly against the iPhone. This makes the iPhone easy to hold, even with an additional battery, and still fits easily in a pocket or purse.

The battery can be connected directly to a computer or notebook using the included USB cable. It takes four hours to fully charge the additional battery in this way. To access the battery power only when needed, a small switch can be flipped. Four blue LEDs then indicate the remaining battery power.
If the additional battery power isn’t enough, the Solar Battery Pack for iPhone 4 offers a last resort. The GP400is features a solar panel on the back of the battery case. Leaving the iPhone in the sun can easily generate enough power to make a phone call, send an email, or play a game.
The GP400is has two more surprises in store. When the iPhone 4 is in the battery case, it can also be synchronized with iTunes via the USB cable. Charging the battery and installing new apps is now possible in one go. There’s also a transparent protective case that fits over the sides and front of the iPhone 4. The battery case and transparent case form a single unit that protects the iPhone 4 from scratches and other damage from all sides.
