Solar Charger, 5600mAh Portable Solar Power Bank Outdoor External Battery Pack ELEGEEK Dual USB Solar Phone Charger with LED Flashlight for iPhone iPad and More Smart Phone (Black)

I have been buying a lot of Solar Power Devices lately and was looking for a new Solar Power Bank because the one I had took forever to Charge even in direct Sunlight.I usually find the best deals on Amazon though ,and having bought a Elegeek Solar Device in the past that I was super impressed with, I was confident this would be a quality product.First, thing to note is the Manual says you should Fully Charge the first 3 times with the included USB Plug for 12hrs continuous, it actually came Charged and after using only took about 2hrs to recharge with Electricity but I left it hooked up over night for 12hrs anyways to make sure it is capable to be Charged to its Maximum Potential in the future, it should also note with Rechargeable Lithium Devices never let them go COMPLETELY Dead before Recharge as my experience this also degrades life of Battery.So first thing I noticed is the Panel is Super Big for this type of Device and top of the line Cells because you can see the Green Charging Light comes on soon as I you completely pull out of Box even though it is Panel side down and not even Direct Sunlight yet!Also, i’m surprised how light they were able to make it considering the 5,600mAh Capacity and Large Panel it’s less then 10oz.If I Charged it and took it inside I was able to Fully Recharge my iPhone 7 Plus completely twice and it still had a little Power, but I noticed if you have the Panel in Direct Sunlight while your Charging it feeds the Bank at the same time it’s Charging your Phone and you can easily get 3 maybe even 4 Phones Charged back to back, it does have 2 USB outs so you could do 2 at a time and I believe this is a updated Model because both Ports appear to be 5V 2.1A just be careful that when Charging Outside your Devices are not in the Sun or they could become damaged the Solar Bank however can withstand temperatures up to 176 Degrees Fahrenheit which is good because mine got very hot sitting in the Texas Sun.it is also supposed to be Fire/Water/Dust/Drop Proof to some Degree i’m not sure and am not going to risk ruining the one I paid for to find out.There are 8 LED Chip Lights that are so bright when I tried to take a good picture I was unable to focus in on the actual strips when lit they appear as one big light in picture.it comes with a small Carabiner to hang it and some Suction Cups that have to be shoved in the slots to put on a Window, just make sure it’s on outside of Window to Charge well especially if you have Glass that Blocks UV Rays.I am overall extremely satisfied with this Product and its performance.

Solar batteries are pretty unreliable generally.The kinds of solar panels that are separate from the battery can be iffy, mostly because of failure points (cable connection points). In very hot environments, the problem can be compounded by over-heated cables, making them sticky as the rubber starts to melt.for this reason, I generally prefer (not always, but generally), all-in-one solar battery solutions.There are a lot of small solar batteries that have big 20,000mAh batteries, but tiny solar panels to achieve a smaller form factor. The idea here is that you start your hiking trip with the batteries maxed out, and are really topping off every day. I have tried quite a few of these types of batteries and they are not useful on multi-day hikes, because each day, you use more than you charge, so the battery dwindles and never gets the opportunity to fully charge.The last really good all-in-on was a large white one, which, while bomb proof, was bulky and heavy, and the USB connection was really bad.This all-in-on is excellent. The solar panel is larger, and with two tied to the top of my pack, it charged to about 55% every day, that's about 3000 mAh out of the battery's max storage of 5600 mAh.That means I could use one battery to fully charge my iPhone and the other to fully charge my GPS Sat messenger and even have a little leftover, to help charge my friends' devices.Even better, these are extremely light, and fully heat resistant. The heat resistance is especially useful as some summer hiking days can get up into the 90's.For hiking, I can't imagine using anything else now.

Only had the charger for a few days but, so far, is a 5*. It is easy to use although the unit is a bit larger than I expected. However, I can't fault the product because the dimensions are provided; I just didn't look at them. The suction cups don't hold very well on any surface other than very smooth surfaces such as glass. Overall, however, I'm quite pleased with the charger.

I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality of this product. It is very different from other battery banks that I own in that it is very thin but has a larger solar panel which is much faster at charging the battery than the smaller panels found with most battery banks. I am using it to power a goTenna that is hanging outside on my fence (see photo) and so far it has kept the goTenna charged and operating 24/7. While the solar panel is larger it is still small enough to attach to a backpack when hiking to keep your phone charged. The packaging and documentation are also above average.

I'm very happy with my Solar changers.My friends see how I use it with my Electronics my radio my tablet my cell phone for everything that needs a chargeAnd now everyone wants one I had to purchase 4 more so I have a total of 6

Used on a backcountry hunt. Worked well when kept warm Didn't hold a charge well in sub freezing temps (as expected)which is the reason for 4 stars

I bought this for a camping trip.It worked it took a while to charge then it charged my phone for around 25 percent .Direct and strong sunlight will be needed but I dropped the charger and one side of the panel popped out.overall it’s a pretty good product

Works good when you charge it by plugging it in but when i left the solar charger out im the sun it wouldnt charge past 2 dots. Either the solar panel is deffective or very inefficient.
