Solar Charger Power Bank 25000mAh - QC3.0 Fast Charging Solar Powered Battery Pack with 4 Foldable Panels, Waterproof Portable Charger for Outdoor Activities, Type C Input/Output

Battery life is as described. I used with iPhone, iPad, QRP ham radio, flashlight, and lantern. Works great if battery is charged. Charging battery with only solar cells take long time. Well designed and durable. Flashlight is adequately bright for normal uses Size is excellent—-about like a fat cellphone. USB ports may need an adapter for older iPhone or iPad as USB A and USB C ports need lightning adapter to work. Good price. Great quality and design. Recommended

Got this for my husband. It was on his Christmas list. He plans to use it for hunting season, so he hasn’t actually tried it out yet. But it’s compact and will be easy to carry. I will update once he has actually tried it out, but it is exactly as pictured.

I've been using this on and off for about 3 years. What I like: It works! I use it for charging my phone when camping, traveling through an airport, train station or any place AC is at a premium. I also use it to power my LED booklight or do a supplemental charge of my phone when on my patio reading in the evening. It's more convenient than grabbing the charger, cables, and extension cord for the AC.What I don't like: It seems to take a long time to recharge, even when using a 60W charger. Charging by solar panels is a joke. Yes, it will charge with solar, but it takes at least two days of full sun and no use. I guess that's better than nothing. Since I never expected to use the solar charger, this isn't a problem for me. Had I intended for solar charging to be my main source AND it the battery pack was in heavy use, I would be sorely disappointed.I'm happy with the purchase. However, if I had to do it again I would purchase one without the solar charger option.

I purchased 2 of these solar power banks. One for my home and one for my travel trailer. I have used them on several occasions during a power outage to charge my phone, tablet, solar lights, weather radio and more. They work great, they charge pretty quickly and they are pretty powerful. Great product. Highly Recommend.

I already wrote a review but Amazon deleted it I guess. Mine came in a few days ago, it was at 2 blue lights, which means 25 to 50 percent charged. I managed to top up my phone twice on that, maybe 80% total charge.It does say it's charging as long as there's any sunlight coming into a room which speaks very well for it, but I have yet to see it fully charge from sunlight.Left it charging near the window all day yesterday from 0% and it didn't even get to 25%But, it was enough for the light to work last night, which is crucial in an emergency.I will have to run a test from 0% , charging all day in indirect sunlight or cloudy sky, and see how long the flashlight will work on continuous run.Taking a trip to farm soon in Upstate NY, so will definitely be testing it out there.I only just got it so I will definitely be updating my review over time.So far I f****ng love it.EDIT November 2019:Its going well so far. however, as a solar charger it doesnt always seem to soak up the suns energy. Ive tested it a few times on very clear days and it doesnt always seem to charge. I dont know if this is an issue with my specific one or if its the model entirely. Which is sad for me as i want to use as much clean energy as i can. As a backup charger however its great, i can use my phone all day and keep charging it with this and never need to plug into a wall.Will keep testing it with solar charging, and update again.EDIT:I was able to charge it by sun on a few occasions during an emergency and then charge my phone enough on it to make calls and send texts.I love this piece, I take it on every trip, even take out with me often locally, and its one of the best electronic Investments. I'm so grateful for this. And were on year 5 now. It's my trusty companion.

I was really excited to use this product. I ordered it at the end of April and laid it in the sun for days to charge it. Of course I could have used an outlet at the time but I wanted to make sure it worked via the solar panels. I checked on it periodically until it reached full charge as shown by the blue lights on the side (and the green light means it’s charging). Once fully charged I plugged in my phone and my Fitbit to see how well they would charge. They did charge at first, but slower than other power banks I’ve used in the past, and the Fitbit even says it’s a weak power source. But it did it’s job and I was pleased to have this for my months long backpacking trip.A few weeks later I plugged my electronics in again and it was a bit spotty… it would say it was charging but then I’d check my phone a few minutes later and it had stopped charging. I double checked that everything was plugged in correctly, I even changed cables to see if that was the problem. It should be able to charge items more than once per its own charge, but I laid it in the sun again for a few days and tried again. Things charged.I left for my trip over a week ago. The first night i was in an Airbnb so everything was charged there. 2nd night at a primitive campsite I charged up some items as well as kept the power bank charging in the sun. Next campsite I needed to charge again… and it wouldn’t. Plugging things in and unplugging them several times, sometimes it would ding and say charging but then it would stop 30 seconds later. Again, I had it open in the sun. It’s hard to tell in the photos but it shows the green solar charging light on and all the blue lights… it should have worked!! I also included a photo showing my Fitbit plugged in and yet not charging.I needed to get in contact with my family and my phone was down to 3% and my Fitbit to 5% the following day. Luckily I was at a canoe livery where they graciously charged my phone in their office while I went kayaking. But soon into this trip I’ll be at mostly primitive campsites and towns will be few and far between. This charger was supposed to give me peace of mind that I’d always be able to charge up my phone no matter where I was. That is not the case. It’s too late to return, so I had to eat that cost and purchase an Anker power bank instead. Even though it isn’t solar hopefully it will provide power during the stretches between places I can charge it traditionally.
