Can the device be charged by solar charger and/or portable battery pack like the Jakery Giant+.

It uses a micro USB port to charge it. I'm sure any device that provides power to the USB will charge the unit.

To my knowledge the device needs to charging but is operated by the host device (iPhone / iPad). Plugging a USB cable into the Emprum charges the hot device too.

Yes. But, i believe the port it has can be used for a solar type battery pack as well as just an external battery. The batteries that it recommends 12 AA energizer ultimate (i think) say that they can last up to a year.

Not sure. I would say go to Fry's or Best Buy and see if they have one you can try, if you've already bought the solar charger.

no, this is designed to work with marine batteries, charged by solar panels. I have two of these for two different solar systems and really like the way they work.

It seems not. It is not that kind of device. One can "charge up the charger only". This is similar to the 'plug into the wall' charger for cell phones or transformer for home telephone answer systems. Once that goes it must be replaced. The good side is that this device is so inexpensive and any kind of replacement battery would cost a lot more. I use this device to power my mini portable speakers to my 3rd generation iPod and charge my simple 'Go Phone'. Lasts an hour or more. Great!

I gave the solar charger as a gift, so I can't answer that. My brother loves it though. He is not a backpacker or a biker however.

Yes you can use 12V 3800mA / 5v 5600mAh Portable Battery Pack (with charger

Yes, just connect it independently to the batteries(not through the solar charge controller).

No battery pack - this is a solar charger for the batteries in the listed items

This battery pack is charged via a USB port, or via solar panel. The source of power can be any device that will charge a cell phone.

Yes, although all that I keep outside is the solar panel. The light stays indoors in my application. When the battery in the light is charged you can charge something else, use the light, or both. I believe this is all to be true. However, I usually take my phone to my cabin fully charged and use the Solar King to maintain the charge while I listen to tunes. As with any solar device, there is only so much energy to use, so drawing power to charge a phone reduces the energy amount and the light might not stay lit as long.

I do not know for sure. I think if the solar panels can charge a gel battery you could. This is a great battery and runs our trolling motor for 5 hours. I want to put this battery on my trailer and plan to use solar.

Yes the device is charge via the included usb cable. It can also be charged by the battery pack.

Yes, but keep in mind: this is just a wireless charger which at the end does the same as the normal wired charger. Meaning it wont extent the life of your battery yet simply recharge it. On the other hand, the power-pack would work as an external battery, but it wont last the whole day. I use the full bat of my iPhone plus the power-pack, and neither that is enough for the whole day of my. If you do not use it as much as me, you might get it working just good enough.

No. I use it with my 14w anker solar panel to recharge the batteries. Any rechargeable AA or AAA battery will also work.

Not likely, it needs bright sunlight to charge outdoors. It doesn't even charge on cloudy days.

It will charge anything with a USB connector, so yes. It will charge it. You will likely get more than one full charge out of a single Power Monkey Extreme charge, but keep in mind that the solar panel charging will take a good 8 hours of continuous sun. The Power Monkey Extreme can also be charged up with 110 or 220 current when it's available so you can have extra battery power. I've used all of those to charge it, and I won't take a trip without it, especially when I'm in the middle of nowhere, five hours by plane to the nearest electricity.
