Great backup for camping picnic or outdoor.Being charged by solar flaps and gives you fast charging for your devices.

I've had this product for 10 months now. It was used almost daily during the summer when we were camping, kayaking, hiking, or just away from a power source. It ran off the solar charge itself and was only plugged into a wall outlet once a month. It was left out in the morning sun to recharge. It kept my daughter's iPad and my phone charged for a weeks on end. Worth every penny.

This thing is a great weight for camping and has plenty of use ports to use for multiple electronics. It's charging ability is fast too.The lights on it are bright and it's clear there is strong power behind them.It's value for the money is decent though I wish it would show how charged it is. Usually the lights will blink one 1 2 3 or 4 to single charge level. This one only blinks two dots ever. I've charged it via electricity and same thing. It never goes above 2 lights. It charges things great despite that fact and hasn't been difficult at all to use and set up in the sun. It's compact and great for camping.

Received on time and I immediately tested all of the advertised functions. Works, charged phone, laptop, note keep in off mode to charge devices. Room lite very bright, flashlight ok. Solar charging with all panels open charged up faster than other reviews and went from 2 lites to just 4th blinking in an hour, Iam in the southeast so stronger sun than up north. Durable feeling base, would be careful with panels over time, to be determined. Overall for the money good buy, if needed or camping.

When I first unpackaged this power bank, I thought it's massive size would be a huge no-go for me, and it would get relegated to being in the truck with me, or tossed in a drawer and used if the power goes out. After a few days of torturing the power bank, I changed my mind on that. Yes, this is a huge power bank. But I charged and operated nearly every USB powered device I could think of for a full 3 days (yes, 72 hours) before it got down to a flashing LED indicator telling me it needed recharged. It has 2 USB out ports, and I was able to draw a hefty 3 amps combined from them, charging 2 phones at once. It appears to be a little biased toward the USB 3.0 port, with the device attached to it drawing 1.77 amps and the standard USB port delivering 1.23 amps. This bank also features both USB-C and microUSB ports for charging the bank itself. When this bank finally drew down to one flashing LED showing it needed recharged, I was very surprised. Connected to a standard USB power outlet, with a max output of 2.1 amp, the bank was fully charged in just under 7 hours. There is a built in flashlight with 3 modes (solid on, emergency/caution slow flash, and strobe) that is bright enough you don't want to look directly at it, and provides a well enough focused beam to make sure you can see where you are going. The camp light has 3 intensity levels, and if you use it indoors at night, the low setting provides enough light for two people to read by and still have the entire room lit.Solar charging is actually a huge positive for me, and this bank features a fold out 4 panel solar charger, that begins charging in fairly low ambient light, and gets stronger as the ambient light increases. The panels are stitched into a leather-like case, which does away with cheap plastic hinges that are prone to breaking, and snaps shut on one edge of the bank. I'm not sure how long it would take to charge the bank fully off solar alone, but the bank claims a total of 1.2 amp at 5 volts from the solar panels. After torturing this power bank for several days, I have come to appreciate it's bulkiness, and the fact that it comes with a carabiner so it can clip to my belt, as there is no way this will fit in my pocket!

This is a convenient power pack that tries to build everything in one. USB power, compass, a camping light, and a mini flash/strobe light. It is rugged and the attached solar panels can be easily folded up and secured with a button. Unlike many cheaper solar power packs out there, this one actually supports USB-C Power Delivery up to 18W.Here's my take on this item:Design: I think this item is well designed and they have made pretty good use of the space available to make sure the item is not too bulky yet ruggedized to handle bumps while you are on the road. The ports are nicely tucked inside a rubber cover so you don't have to worry about the ports getting wet when it is on your backpack and it is raining outside (it comes with a carabiner clip with a keychain ring to attach to both the unit and your backpack - see picture).Ports - On the USB ports, they support a wide range of different charging protocols: Apple 5V/2.4A, Samsung 5V/2A, BC DCP 5V/1.5A, QC2 5/9/12V, QC3, FCP, MTKPE 1.1 PE2.0. Although one of the ports is labeled blue, the black one also supports QC2/3 (there is no difference between the ports). That said, only one port can be used at any given time for quick charge based protocols to engage, otherwise, both ports would be available at 5v only (most likely because they share the charging circuitry on the USB ports).The bidirectional USB-C port supports PD3.0 5V/9V/12V PDOs at 2.4A/2.0A/1.5A, respectively. Also, it supports Apple/2.4A and BC DCP 5V/1.5A. This is nice because most battery packs around this range would only support a dummy USB-C port that operates at 5v only and would not allow Google Nexus devices to charge beyond 5v. Having PD fixes that issue.Note that since the ports are tucked inside the rubber cover, there isn't a lot of clearance for direct plug-in USB devices that are wide-sized. In those cases, you may need some kind of USB extension or right-angle adapter for the plug to fit properly. Most devices, however, use a standard USB cable to connect so this shouldn't be an issue for most devices (you can see that I have to plug a tester on top of another tester because that second tester was a bit too wide to fit into the mouth of the rubber casing).Charging - Charging is fairly straightforward. You have the option of using either the Micro-USB port or the USB-C port. When using the Micro-USB port, you are limited to 5v/2.4A unless your chargers support the Huawei FCP 9v protocol (although many times the battery pack ends up charging at around 2.7A or so if your charger has good voltage regulation and the voltage remains high). Most chargers that are made in China to support QC2 generally also support FCP, although pure QC2/3 chargers will not trigger 9v charging. This is the same when using the USB-C port, although the battery pack would request PD @ 9v as well as FCP when it is available. When charging at 9v, the amperage is limited to 2A @ 18W.Maximum Discharging Current - Testing the maximum current at the various voltage levels offered by this battery pack without significant voltage losses, I got 5V/3A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A. This is pretty much within the stated specifications, except that I was able to exceed the 5V/2.4A rating slightly until the 3A mark.Load voltages - Under no load, the voltages were recorded as 5.08v/9.12v/12.11v. This is good since they were a little higher to allow for some cable resistance. As you can see, the battery pack was able to maintain a very stable voltage even at load (4.97v/3A, 8.92v/2.06A, 12.01v/1.51A).Flashlights - The flashlight in front does a pretty good job in illuminating the way in front of you, as you can see in the pictures I have attached with the dark kitchen. The small flashlight was directional, so it illuminates in the immediate vicinity in front of you, but not around you. The camping light, on the other hand, is much brighter and my first reaction when I turned that on was - wow! On high brightness, the kitchen looked as if I turned the lights on, whereas on low/medium brightness it's only slightly dimmer than the high brightness (see pictures). This makes this a very good tool while working in a dark garage, or simply keeping in your car in case of an emergency.Auto on/off: The battery pack turns off after 30 seconds of low/no load (by reducing the output voltage to ~2v). This means you do not have to manually turn on the battery pack to start charging anything that you start plugging in since the device senses this and restores power at the appropriate level. This offers convenience, although at the trade-off of some standby power.USB passthrough charging: This battery pack supports true passthrough charging. If a 9v input is already engaged, it disengages and falls back to a 5v input source. The battery pack then passes the 5v input from the charger to its output ports while simultaneously charging itself. Because of the true pass-through function, the output voltage is no longer regulated by the battery pack, but rather than the voltage source (e.g. charger). For that reason, the output voltage can drop to around 4.5v when the battery pack is charging from the source at high currents. Adding device load while the battery pack is charging is additive to the input current, and if you have a very good charging cable (e.g. a 1ft USB-C to C 5A cable), the current can reach 5v/3A when the other device is plugged in (the enclosed USB-A to USB-C 2.0 cable charges at around 2.2A when I tested). The battery pack also seems to have a protection function that prevents the pass-thru voltage from getting too high due to a malfunction of the charger. In this case, it looks like the battery pack shuts off charging when the output port reaches approximately 5.45v (using a charger source of approximately 6.40v while charging at around 2.67A). This is a good mechanism to prevent your device from frying if the charger somehow malfunctions and continues to provide 9v QC even when the battery pack did not ask for it.Capacity Testing: The discharge test yielded a real capacity of approximately 65.04Wh (~88% efficiency) at 5v/2.3A. This is quite efficient given the high current. On the other hand, charging at 5v/2.7A required about 94.92Wh of energy (~78% efficiency) without any supplemental sunlight. I am assuming this is due to the converter being less efficient at higher currents, although I plan to be putting this in the back of my car to gather sun while it is out so charging efficiency isn't a big problem to me.Solar Charging: The charger's solar indicator (the green light that is next to the battery status indicator) is quite sensitive, and turns on even at the slightest of sunlight. However, it is important to note that the panels all together can only produce 1.2A of current under intense sunlight (theoretically 6W max). Assuming the panels produce 82% of the theoretical maximum, and another 80% of that energy is used to charge the battery, that means the panels are adding about 3.94W of power to the batteries under intense sunlight.Assuming the energy required is 25% above the nominal capacity value (92.5Wh), this means approximately 23.48 hours of intense sunlight is required to fully charge the battery from empty to full.If you were to leave the battery pack in a sunny place all day long without moving it (assuming ~5.5 hours of intense sunlight), this would mean it would take slightly more than 4 days to charge it under these conditions.If you are on the go and moving between shady and sunny areas, you may only be exposed to intense sunlight (or equivalents of) for about 1.5 hours or so. In this case, the time to fully charge a depleted pack increases from 4 days to a bit more than 2 weeks.And since cloudy days yield very little current (generally 5-10% of the power generated compared to the intense sunlight power), you pretty much have to wait forever for this to charge. Assuming the average cloudy day yields approximately 8% of the power relative to a sunny day, that would mean 0.3152 watts, or 293.45 hours of equivalent light to fully charge. Even assuming you can get 7 hours of this equivalent light, the battery pack will still take over 40 days to fully charge.Now, this is not to say solar charging is useless, but you should have a realistic expectation that the panels are there to supplement the energy provided by a charger while you are on the go, versus replacing the need of charging the pack from the wall completely (unless you want to throw this in the sun and not move it for a few days). If you are thinking that just throwing this near the window on a cloudy day would allow you to charge your phone forever given the infinite potential given by sunlight, then you are probably buying the battery pack for the wrong reason.If I were to go camping with the battery pack and charge my OnePlus 6T fully once a day (which has a 13.69Wh battery) and leave home with the battery pack completely charged, the battery pack would charge my phone a little bit over 4 times/days (assuming a charging efficiency of 88%). Assuming I am getting 1.5 hours of intense sunlight during camping, this extends the charging to almost 7 times/days. This means under the right conditions, this battery pack should last you approximately a week while you are camping if you are going to be charging your phone fully approximately once a day, of course, your mileage may vary (depending on your phone specifications, whether you use the flashlight or the camping lights, the sunlight intensity of where you are going to, etc).12v trigger cable: Since this power pack supports QC2 12v mode, you can use a QC DC trigger cable to activate the 12v output for powering small devices. As you can see, I was able to power my 12v LiitoKala battery charger to charge some AA NiMHs. However, you may find this much more useful to power stuff like a cable modem or a router during a power outage. Most modems or wireless routers generally use approximately 6W of power each at 12v, so using a DC splitter with such trigger cable would allow you to power both the modem and the router while staying under the 18W limit. (note that you cannot use 2 trigger cables at once since the battery pack drops to 5v only if both ports are used at the same time.)Overall, this is an awesome battery pack for camping and emergencies. The camping light is bright and could have a lot of utility even when used inside the home. For about $50, this is pretty good value even if you think of this as some kind of bright solar light. :)
