would this be good for a 5 day camping trip to recharge my phone every night ?

It is good for three full charges, then you have to recharge the charger. I find it to be amazing, not sure it would last 5 days. It's very sturdy.

testing with an iPhone I think it gives 4 loads, but depends on both will last each

Would depend on how much juice you were using each day. I use a mapping system which only gives me 4-6 hrs max on my phone, so I need it just to get thru the day (and prob half of the next day). Product data says it'll charge the ph 3x, that's prob generous. BUT its a great little device, get two!

I think it will charge a device fully about 3 times......it would depend on the size of your phone battery. I use this charger all the time when I fly on holidays and want to use my phone and tablet without having to recharge daily....but I'm not sure about getting 5 charges out of it before having to plug it in somewhere.

Depends on your phone, your usage, and distance from cell tower.It recharged my Galaxy S3 from 20% to full, my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 from 65% to full, and a friend's Galaxy S4 from 15% to 45% and still showed 2 out of 4 LEDs worth of remaining power. This was over a two-day period. I would GUESS that I could get maybe (or almost) 3 charges (from 20%) on my Galaxy S3, but I wouldn't count on 5.I'd recommend adding a car charger and/or solar solution to this battery if you're shooting for five days.

Most definitely! I use it in lawn-garden equipment, where it hangs on a charger all week, then I use it on weekends. Get about 20 minutes of use. Then recharge in about 2 or 3 hours.

Absolutely. Works very well. I use it weekly and have only had initial charge overnight and then every 3 to 4 weeks after that.

That will definitely help a bit. It depends on what you want it to do. If you just want to keep your cell phone powered, it will do the trick. And I would suggest getting a USB charger for rechargeable batteries. The Levin can keep your batteries topped off too so you can have flashlight and radio batteries fresh. Just know that recharging the Levin by sun takes me two days to get a full charge. I get up to about 3/4 charge in a day usually. Take into account that I am in Hawaii.

Yes I use it as a battery charger to charge my phone & other stuff at the camp.

Theoretically you can. But it will almost canceled out. What I mean is that it will slow down the charging of the unit itself almost to zero. Even without a phone attached, it will take the better part of two days to fully charge the unit. However, from my perspective that completely acceptable because it holds a full charge for a long time. At least a couple of weeks. And I am able to charge my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 at least 5 or 6 times before exausting the charger's power. But it is not ideally suited to charging a phone and re-charging itself at the same time. If you want to use it daily - or even every few days - you need to re-charge it before it runs out of power. Because re-charging when it's completely dead will take a long time. However, I can't say enough good things about it. If you're going - let's say - on a camping trip where you will have receptions, it's ideal. It will re-charge your phone a number of times. And if you take along a solar charger, you'll be in Fat City. If you have a wall plug available, why wouldn't you simply charge the phone in one plug and the charger in another?

Yes, it will last. I've used it 5 times for 45 minutes at a time and haven't had to charge it yet.

Hello, I have a habit of charging all devices overnight, so I am not sure if the battery lasts that long

Recharge the CP-ELS USB Portable charger overnight. It will last about a week on that charge.

Depending on use you can get one to two days on saved power however if you turn on to charge your phone you will need to charge the case every night

The solar charger is very durable and extremely light. It's great for short hikes not lasting more than 5 days. I have had some issues with the charger not charging an iPhone 5 with just solar power, but charging the internal battery first usually charges any phone. I only say it's good for 5 days because I haven't tried the charger for any longer of a period. It's great to clip on a pack as you travel so the internal battery gets charged and very user friendly. It is definitely great for charging phones or a small gps. Anything bigger you would have to get a charger with better output.

No. This will power one 100 watt light bulb, recharge phones, ipods, handheld game consoles and tablets, but when I have tried anything more it has failed. It's the perfect camping power source when usually a person doesn't have appliances. It really isn't designed for that.

This is essentially a battery pack that you can charge with a normal wall plug, car charger of solar pannel.Suggest you have a look at the manufacturer website for all the options and ones they have.I use this pack, but without solar pannel. Keeps the phones etc charged and light for couple days of camping.

Yes absolutely, This battery can easily hold a charge for days on end, And it can recharge a mobile phone- (of course depending on your battery capacity and output)- many times over. If that's not enough of a deal breaker, The full exposure desk light has come in handy dozens of times.

I bought it to be able to charge at night or whenever I needed to do so. It may be you can use a usb, I am not very technical.

Depends on how low your battery is. Mine lasted for 10 days recharging my phone every day. My phone battery was a little under half charged everyday when I charged it. It works better than I expected. Hope this helps.
