A portable terminal includes a cover movably coupled to a body, a first solar cell on the body; and a second solar cell on the cover. The first and second solar cells may be oriented in the same or different directions. When oriented in the same direction, both solar cells may receive light when the cover is opened relative to the body. The solar cells output voltages for simultaneously charging a battery when the cover is opened and when voltages from the first and second solar cells exceed a predetermined reference voltage.
