Portable power supply

A portable power supply for detachable use with a variety of electronic devices of the type having an integral external housing encasing the electronic components of the device, the portable power supply comprising:

• at least one solar panel assembly capable of producing an electrical power output through the conversion of solar energy to electrical energy,
• power transmission means for supplying the solar panel electrical output to an electronic device,
• the power transmission means including means to detachably connect the solar panel assembly to an electronic device thereby transmitting power,
• whereby, upon detachment of the connection means power transmission is ceased,
• the power transmission means permitting use of the solar panel assembly with a variety of electronic devices,
• a case comprising at least two opposing side panels,
• the spaced opposing side panels defining an intervening article holding area, the article holding area of the case being of sufficient size to accommodate an entire electronic device of the type having an integral external housing encasing the electronic components of the device, the article holding area further being of sufficient size to accommodate a variety of different electronic devices, and providing an area within which an electronic device may be detachably connected to the solar panel assembly by the power transmission means,
• the case further being completely readily separable from an electronic device held in the article holding area,
• the side panels including at least one solar panel attachment means for selectively detachably mounting of a solar panel assembly thereto,
• the solar panel assembly additionally including voltage regulation means for converting the output voltage component of the solar panel assembly electrical power output to that required by an electronic device,
• the voltage regulation means further including different output settings permitting the use of the power supply with devices requiring different voltage inputs.
