Solar Charger Power Bank, 20000mAh Portable Outdoor Waterproof Solar Battery Charger, Camping External Backup Battery Pack USB C Ports Input/Output, 2 Led Light Flashlight with Compass (Orange)

The battery pack is light weight. It does appear charging in Sun light with green light and blue lights on. Solar panel charging is slow as expected with Photovoltaic cells. It helps on camping trips and emergency situations. The flashlight is not bright, may be less than 100-150 lumens at most like a cell phone. I didn’t test the full capacity of the battery pack though. It appears robust enough, time will tell about the performance and reliability.

I didn’t even know this thing was a thing until I came across it randomly on AMZ. In a Prime-nesia moment I ordered and it did not disappoint. It’s super easy to use (I never read the directions). So far it’s been very durable. I’ve honestly just tossed it into the camping bin and pulled it out when I needed it. I’ve been charging it on the dashboard on the drive into adventure spots. Worked great on a 4 day camping trip where we boated into a beach and camped. Most of us used our phones for cameras/videos and downloaded music so we were able to keep the phones and speakers charged without an issue. I’ve since updated my tent lights and headlights to USB chargeable devices so I don’t have to worry about batteries. It’s been great. I definitely recommend. I will point out that it’s not super fast. It’s not like plugging into a wall outlet and you’ll see your bars jump right away…but when I’ve used it I haven’t been in a hurry because I’m outdoors enjoying all the non tech life. Just don’t expect it to juice up like a gas powered generator and you’ll be fine.

Have been on the road for almost 2 months with this as one of my charging options. It is a good size to carry around in a backpack, durable build, plus the flashlight is a nice, strong light. On the flip side, noticeably short battery retention, where it is good to charge my phone once (but not to 100%..). And you need to primarily re-charge it at charging outlets as the solar panel seems negligible- I have tried setting it out in the sun for 5-6 hours at a time but no difference. I wouldn't trust it as my sole charging means when backpacking, but only if on a hiking day trip. Even then I prefer to take my other portable charger which shows power percentage unlike this one... Haven't tested out the cheap mini carabiner it comes with, but at least it provides a place to loop in your own paracord to securely fasten it to a strong carabiner of your choice. As well, the compass does not work on mine.

When you buy a charging bank for periods away from a charger at home you expect it to hold its charge. This unit has a solar panel to allow charging on the go which is why I purchased it. Two days after it was fully charged I left the house with the expectation of using it when my phone’s charge became low. Not only did it lose it’s charge but I had to continually press the power bank’s ON button, and then it only charged for about five seconds. Dreadfully disappointed and frustrated because I was suckered in to buying this product believing it would work for me. In all fairness it was charged two days prior to using it and the morning I left home it sat near the window getting plenty of light. The charge indicator showed a full charge. All I can say is its a good thing we came back early. I would not destroy the packing as you may need to send it back. I won’t because it isn’t worth my time or gas to drive into town to ship it back.

I use this on a daily bases almost. Very bright and love that i can place it in a sunny spot and it recharges itself. Used it to keep my phone charged while our light were out this past winter. Good buy

I got this 2 months ago and after a handful of uses it doesn't come on at all or charge anything. The few times I've used it I never mishandled it, dropped it, got it wet, nothing. I used it while sitting on the back porch and on a few trips to the grocery store where it was stored in my purse the whole time. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed with this purchase. Mainly because when it worked, it performed just fine. But the 5 or so uses I got out of it was not worth the price. Hope this helps someone!*****UPDATE:I realized my order was past the warranty date but I figured I'd get with the company after writing my initial review because of the issue stated above. It just didn't seem right for it to have shorted out the way it did after being used so infrequently! Turns out, after a bit of research on their end, they'd sent me one from a bad batch! So they ended up sending me a brand new one and I am happy to now report that after much more use and daily testing of this new one they sent, it works GREAT! This is what I was looking for! Five stars for a great product, this is what I wanted initially and glad to have a good one! And thanks for the awesome customer service!

Updated to 3 stars for customer service. They acknowledged that the charger must be defective and provided a refund.Useless if you want to use it for the solar charging feature. Tried everything and it will not charge. Tried contacting the company email listed on the User Manual and no response. What a waste.

Whenever I stop being grumpy, I'll purchase another one of these because it's really a great little charger. I bought this for a camping trip and used it maybe three times to charge my phone. LOVED IT. It fast charges my phone and it's solar powered, the flashlight was cool but the compass didn't work at all.So also.. my husband hung it up on a small d-ring we had on our boat and we forgot it there, just taking in beams of light as we drove across the lake. We hit maybe two waves and the only thing left was the cute little clip it came with.. so clearly the plastic on the actual device was less strong than the clip itself. Not saying that there's a manufacture issue for that specific of an issue because I doubt they account for being shaken violently while being tethered to a speeding boat, but hey.. there's always room for improvements haha you just never know. Maybe next time I come back to purchase it'll be renamed "boat ready, can be shaken in 40mph winds"
