Portable battery packs are great for charging your phone on the go, but at some point the inevitable will happen: you’ll need to charge your iPhone or Android phone but your portable battery pack will be dead. If only there was a portable charger that never needed to be plugged in and charged itself. If only there was a way to power said charger with something free and available in abundance, like sunlight…

From now through midnight on Friday, October 16, you can save $10 on an Aukey 20W Solar Charger Portable USB Solar Panel Charger from Amazon.

The smart design on this portable charger involves a series of solar panels that fold up into an envelope of sorts when the charger isn’t in use. Then, when you need to charger your gear, just unfold it and place it in the sun. It has two standard USB ports so it can charge just about any gadget you own, and it even has an integrated pocket to hold smaller devices like cell phones while they’re being powered up.

This charger typically sells for $49.99, but the BGR Deals Team dug up a coupon code that will save you $10.
