A '''solonite charge''' is a explosive device used in demolotions work. It is comprised of the destructive compound [[solonite]]. Unlike a [[G-4]] explosive, the solonite charge includes both the compound and the detonator in one compact unit.
A '''solenite charge''' is a timed electronic explosive device used in demolitions by Colonials, using the chemical compound [[solenite]].  


A solenite charge has an activator switch, timer, and light indicator as part of the charge's top edge. As seen during the application of such charges they may be attached using some form of adhesive {{OS|Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part II}}, in others it may be magnetic {{OS|The Living Legend, Part II|Fire in Space|The Hand of God}}.
A solonite charge has a detonator, timer, and light indicator as part of the charge's casing. It is unknown exactly how the charge attaches to an object. As seen during the application of such a device in "[[The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part II]]" charges might be attached using some form of adhesive.


[[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] use the charge's magnets while scaling ''Galactica''<nowiki/>'s hull, as their suits did not have magnetic boots {{OS|Fire in Space}}.
