So far no good...
So far I have not had a lot of luck. It does not always charge when it should. Also seems to have an issue when in sun for a while. Get all 4 LED's blinking like its faulted. Still trying to figure it out. I will give it a wall charge and one more chance.

BioLite to the rescue
This solar panel is perfect for my needs. I have worked to create a go-trunk in my car which will allow me to set up a camp with a tent, sleeping bags, seating and enough food for 4-5 weeks. However, during the emergency I also have a go-backpack in the trunk to get me by until the more formal camp can be set up. This panel meets my need for a power source for my phone or tablet and easily fits into that backpack.

Huge mistake having bought this tool
I bought this tool about one year ago. Because of Covid-pandemia I couldn't test it up to now. Yesterday first trial was catastrophic. Always only one of the LED was shining for a short while with sun-energy as well as cordless-charger. No charging signal on my cordless after having connected it. Neither in full sun (optima position) any charging activity. Unfortunately I can't reproduce the shop, where I bought panel. That means wastage of money for nothing. What a pity!

Great product & still going strong
We bought one of these 7 or 8 years ago... whenever it was first released. We don't use it that often but in between charges our unit has held 4 out of 5 lights on the meter for over a year sitting in a book case. Unbelievable. Charging a device while simultaneously charging the panel is genius.

Great product - extremely useful!
Great product. Solves the problem of how to recharge various devices when on the trail or canoeing in wilderness areas.

Doesn't work
Battery seems busted. When I plug my phone in, it shows "charging" but winds up having lower energy after being plugged in than it was before. Tested on some other products (e.g. my Kindle), and it looks like after a full charge it can only pass along about 639 mAh of charge from this battery to the kindle, and does so rather slowly. Would not recommend as something to rely on while backpacking.

A great, compact solar charger
This is a compact but powerful solar charger. The aiming device is simple and intuitive and the amount of power that it can generate even under less-than-full-sun conditions is impressive. This is part of my home preparedness kit and will go camping with me.

Well built and light weight
Bought the Solar panel 5 about 3 or 4 years ago. After many years of use backpacking in the High Uintas the smaller battery in the original Solar Panel would only charge the nearly dead battery in my Phone half way, because my new S20 battery is 5000mAh. To fix this I purchased the newer Solar panel 5+ with it's larger battery. Now I can set them up in the morning before hitting the trail and strapping them to my pack and even if I drained them the night before by charging the Phone, GPS, and lantern I can charge again at lunch break and then again when I pitch camp. Absolutely amazing! They have now gone with me for what should amount to months on the trail. Sturdy and seemingly bulletproof they have both survived everything I could throw at them, including a tumble down the mountain or two while strapped to my pack. I will be buying more in the future and recommend everyone else does too. They have served me well in power outages to keep my smaller electronics charged. Goes from dead to full charge in 4 hours in good direct sun. The sundial on them works great for aligning the panel for maximum charge rate. I highly recommend to anyone who asks me about them. Similar products weigh about 4 ounces more per panel and when ounces count, this is the product I will continue to choose.

Flimsy, find something else.
Take a long time to charge. The flap that covers the ports breaks off easily. Sleek enough. Easy to latch to backpack or at campsite.

Appears to be very good quality. Just wish it had an on-off switch for lighting or other things plugged into the USB port. Press button to turn it on. But you have to unplug to turn it off.

Kept my devices powered up on the trail
I took this on a few multi day backpacking trips and strapped it to the top of my pack. It produced enough charge to power my phone and Garmin. Could charge indefinitely as long as it's not cloudy.

Good for what it is
Good for what it is but you will want to be mindful of full direct sunlight. It does overheat and has to then be plugged into a outlet to reset. Still worth the money

Not worth it
I bought this to use during a thru hike of the Arizona Trail. The battery never kept the phone charging unless it was in the sun. And in the sun the thing only charged my phone a MAX of 20% when it was fully charged. The panel never blinked more than one charging light despite being in 90+ degree heat in the southern Arizona sun. This meant that it would take 2+ DAYS to actually charge up. If it can hardly work in the beating Arizona sun I wouldn't trust it anywhere. Overall a frustrating, underwhelming, hardly functional product. Very very disappointed.

Cool concept
It is cool in concept but it took all day to charge in the sunlight in our home. Perhaps it will be good for camping when it can be placed in direct sunlight but it is a little big to pack. It would be easier to just take a small portable charger then.

Great little device. Light weight and easy to use. I’ve only used it once, but it charged up without any trouble.

Awesome charger
I just wanted to try it out. It's more versatile than the SolarPanel 10+ (which I've had for 3 years now).
I've tried various ways of hanging and carrying it. Saw a picture of someone carrying theirs on a backpack and wanted to try it with my hydration pack while cycling. Just waiting for warmer weather to try it.

Disappointing
I have had this for 2 or 3 years. When it was new out of the box I learned that on a 70 degree day the unit gets hot enough to engage the safety features on the battery and the battery won't charge. This made the built in battery useless most of the year. I took it backpacking once and would plug my phone in directly instead of charging the battery during the day. It has been used 4 or 5 times since. Today I say it outside, charged the battery until the indicator said it was full, then brought it in to charge my phone. While not being used my phone charge went from 26% to 27% then the battery on the solar panel was drained. I have replaced this with another brand.
