Light and powerful
I've used one of these for multiple trips including three of four months where this was my main/only source of energy and it hasn't let me down.
I use a phone, a camera, a headlamp and two bicycle lights with this system. I strap the panel at the back of my bicycle.
Good :
- Light (just as heavy as the battery it powers)
- Powerful (charges the battery in one day if sunny or a week if rainy)
- Reliable (never had an issue that was not caused by dropping it)
Could be improved :
- The power cable could be tougher (the cable is tied strait to the panel and will break if the panel is dropped. I use tape on the cable at the edge of the panel to provide some protection, but I wish the extension cord was plugged strait into a rigid connector so the extension would be the one absorbing the impact)
- The loops on the corners are too small (even the smallest bungee cord won't fit in them, so I need to have a cable around the loops. If the panel is dropped, the screw and the loop are prone to breaking)
- The panel needs a 4 foot or more extension cord (it is a must if you plan to move while charging. I wish it came with the panel or that the description of the item had a mention of this) -
great on the go system
This system is sized perfectly for daily on the go needs, whether I need to charge my phone or tablet.
