ICP Solar Technologies Inc. and Coleman Products Inc. announced the launch of the Coleman line of portable solar chargers, designed to provide backup or primary power for vehicles such as automobiles, boats, RVs and also for remote living applications.

ICP Solar will produce the line of chargers, which includes five models for a range of applications, plus an intelligent charge controller to ensure batteries reach their maximum capacity. All of the chargers come with Plug'n'Play® for quick connections, a cigarette lighter adaptor and battery clamps for convenience.

"ICP Solar has an excellent track record of producing superior photovoltaic chargers, making our decision to pursue this partnership an easy one," said Peter Fox, Vice President of Licensing, Coleman. "Equally, ICP Solar is a leader in the move to accurately rate solar panels. Their products produce the rated output in real-world conditions, not artificial lab settings. We're certain that this line of products will provide highly reliable, environmentally sound power to all of our customers."

"The Coleman name is synonymous with high-quality, innovative products and their decision to partner with ICP Solar is a strong validation of our commitment to the best, most convenient solar chargers," said Sass Peress, CEO, ICP Solar. "With the increased power consumption of electronic devices in modern vehicles and homes, our portable chargers provide a simple, environmentally sound way for people to ensure the enjoyment of all their daily activities."
