- Equipment / processing:
The charger consists of five elements, in four of which solar panels are incorporated and the fifth contains a pocket with velcro closure where is the Voltage Controller, a small plastic box with a 2.1 mAh and 2.5 mAh charging port for external devices incorporated. Class that you can charge two devices at once.
The charger folds up neatly and is then securely locked with a large Velcro over the entire width. In the inside pocket there is room for two cables, one could even accommodate a cell phone or a small Power Bank it. Both the surface of the solar panels as well as the rest of the material used to make a highly durable and robust impression and is also resistant to water splashes. Once merged one has a solid package of size 26,5x15,5cm in the hands, which can be take very well. At just 590g, it is naturally not a featherweight, but can nevertheless take well. Very positive are the two eyelets at the end, where you can moor the unit eg while hiking backpack.
- Performance and operation:
I tried to charge this 20 W solar charger with my smartphone, a BlackBerry, a Kindle and a Power Bank. Naturally, that has worked best in direct sunlight. There were charging power and pace comparable to a single charge on a laptop. But loading the Power Bank was almost a long-term project, but also works. Clear skies was loaded but pretty slow. In my experience, it certainly plays a role, how to align the solar panels for charging against the sun. The sun should appear as directly as possible from the top and not at the side of the panels. Because it seems to me the charging power to be better.
- Conclusion:
After a short time I have come to appreciate the solar charger. It leaves nothing in terms processing nothing to be desired and performs reliably in sunshine his service. Whether one needs to travel an alternative power source or a Lademögichkeit at the lake, which is in good weather the appropriate charger for it. Alternatively, one can also use it at home, to save power. Whether you use it there in combination with a Power Bank or its equipment directly invites it, yes every self is left. Total me the Solar Charger has convinced me and is worth five stars.
