It operates in several modes:
- It charges the battery on the sector (see my tests below)
- The battery is charged by the sun (see my tests below)
My load testing of the solar battery:
- Solar: I put 6 hours to charge the battery in approximately 60-75% with the sun: I had a flashing blue LED (empty battery) and I went to 3 blue LEDs (50-75% ). Note that the instructions, they speak from 6 to 20%, I think there was a mistake because it is not at all what I got for my tests. I believe about 60% battery recharge in 6 hours.
- Electricity: count about 6 hours for a full recharge on an iPad charger (electricity)
My tests recharge a smartphone (iPhone 5S for me):
- I timed 1 minute for 1% of recharge. Example: the iPhone 5S was 40% and I wanted to bring it to 90%, or + 50% -> it took me 50 minutes to recharge (1 = 1% it is easy to remember !)
MOST:
- Resistant & good grip
- Use outdoors without fear of moisture
- Recharges by solar energy
- Has an adapter to use the charging cable to the iPad
- Extra light and especially a "SOS" integrated (3 points - 3 traits - 3 points), he had to think!
- His carabiner to hang the outside in a proper position for charging
- The ability to load two simultaneously smartphone
LEAST:
- Can not load tablet (only 2 outputs 1A each, enough to charge two smartphone)
- Should not be exposed to sunlight when the load is> 75% under penalty of battery deterioration (the constantly recharge the battery system)
