Only works with certain devices

It's a great theory, but it plays havoc with my cell phone. Probably the phone and not the product but I can't say for sure.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Worth the try
6 years ago
Bought this for charging my phones to keep contact. Due to going to camp is not just a drive away..its completly off grid. With disapointment I was very much hoping for this solar to pull through for me as I was almost stuck at camp. Thankfully survival skills as a child did not come with phones nor gadgets lol but it was worth the try..

Trickle Charging
7 years ago
I lay this at the rear window of the car with a 10ft USB cable and charge my 10000mah powerbanks with it. It’s a trickle charger so I wouldn’t expect to charge my phone but powerbanks will take in minuscule charges from it to THEN charge my phone at 2.1A
I’m thinking of upgrading to the 20W panel if money is ever in my favour soon. Maybe even the 8-1 connector

NOT worth the money
7 years ago
I had bought this product to take on a fishing with my dad on one of his old trap lines 50 miles in the forest in Northern Ontario. I had tested it to charge my phone with the USB cable on a previous camping trip and it worked Ok. On this trip we needed it to charge a Sat phone we had rented in order to keep in touch with my mother. Had to use the 12 volt port to do so, it sat on a rock face exposed to the sun for 8 hours and never charged the phone. Also needed it to charge my fathers battery pack for his CPAP machine...no go... NOT impressed ...I have plenty of small battery packs to charge my phone and didn't need to pay 50$ for those. Useless piece of kit absolutely useless

Q: Est-ce que je peux utiliser le connecteur 12 volt femelle de ce panneau pour recharger mon bloc d'alimentation eliminator par le port de charge?
Danger de surcharge?
Combien de temps pour charge complète?
A: Le connecteur femelle peut être utilisé pour charger une batterie de 12 V, y compris ceux dans les alimentations portables ou des boîtes. Pour les connexions spécifiques et des recommandations de surcharge, s'il vous plaît consulter le fabricant de l'alimentation.
Le taux de charge (combien de temps) dépendra de la capacité de la batterie (Ah). Par exemple, si la batterie a une capacité de 7 ampères-heures et le panneau a un courant maximal de 0,4 ampères, il faudra environ 17 heures pour recharger la batterie.
