Is this thing good for a bugout bag? Will it charge an Android?

I got this for my fiancé for his and he loved it. The phone charging thing only works if you're continuously cranking it, it will charge an android though

I bought mine for a bugout bag. I don't know about an android, but it will only charge a cell phone for about one or two emergency phone calls. And for that you have to crank for a while, an android would take an awful lot of cranking. Hope this helps.

It does not have an adapter for the newer android phones, but it does have one for a USB port. So if you have your own charging cord for your phone and it has a USB end, you can use it with that. I tried it with my phone, and I don't know how much it charged it, but my phone did say that it was charging while I was cranking.

Yes, I got mine for that purpose. It's pretty light weight and small, but not tiny, just the right size for a bug out bag! I love it. I got good radio reception when I tried it out.

Yes, I use it to charge my Android and other devices with the USB power cord. It's so simple to use and easy to carry in a backpack or purse. Go for it!

Yes it will do just fine. I carry the small one in my pack. My wife carries one for our tablets

This system is designed to charge a 12V battery. I use one on my popup tent trailer to keep the 12V deep-cycle battery charged on long camping trips. This setup (with a deep-cycle 12V battery) works quite well with my small laptop (and DC charger), iPad, and Android phone.

I'm not sure, I have an android. I really haven't used it, it's in my earthquake preparedness bag.

yes it will work for android phones as well but your phone must have a micro usb port to be able to charge it.

It shouldn't, it is meant to charge a small device such as a phone or small tablet. As L.Huff said, the latter only slowly. I've tried it with an HTC one vx (android phone) and an iphone and worked fine for both. I find it very practical to carry in my car, useful in short trips when you don't want to carry around many chargers or when you want to charge your phone on the car.

It should charge it no problem, I use it to charge my 9inch Kindle Fire HD which has a bigger battery then the Sony. If your item has a micro usb plug it should work fine. It comes with several adapters for different plugs. I use it when I travel for long flights and such. I will tell you that if you want it for everday use as a back up in your pocket, it is alittle bulky and heavy for a pocket but if your throwing it in a bag then its fine. For a pocket type one for a phone I use a Mycharge Trek 2000 as a backup for my Galaxy 3.

It should, has USB port and charges iPhone and Tablets just fine, so why not? Powerful enough to jump start my lawn tractor and my wife's Jeep, so it should have enough "OOMPH!" to run a heated jacket! :) Good luck!

Works great on my android phone and Ipod. Not sure it will charge anything larger than that.

No it doesn't charge your phone. It connects through a phones headphone jack and not the charging port. However a phone in airplane mode can last a very long time. I suggest getting a battery backup charger for your phone one of those smaller ones cost like $15 bucks and it made it through over 24hrs camping. Could have last longer but trip was over.

I have used it on kindles, 3 different android tablets and2 different phones. It will charge just about any portable device i can think although i dont think it would do much good for laptops. All 3 ports will charge any device. The difference is that one port(a) will charge apple fast and one port(s) will charge android devices faster. The one with no letter will still charge anything just slower. I charged a kidle hdx from 7% to full and still had 2 lights showing

Yes, it'll work but don't expect it to charge it all the way. Probably just a little emergency battery backup.

I do not know if this will help as it has been so long.... sorry... I doubt it will work because it is too small for that. For a tablet you are better off buying at least a 10000 mAh battery.It will work for a phone though.

Yes, it will work as a charger. My test of this capability was to recharge my GPS. It worked.

It's supposed to charge on battery alone as far as I know Dino. You should contact Soundfreaq about this situation. I hope they can resolve it for you. Unfortunately I have not yet used it to charge my android devices so I am not familiar with this feature.

Definitely. This item offers great value. Since I bought it a couple months ago, I've been using it a lot for charging and data transfer for ALL my Android devices (tablets and smartphones), and I plan to use it a lot MORE. It appears to be well made and very reliable. One of the main reasons I bought it was to use it as a quick charger for my tablets (I have 3) since the output is a full 2 Amps.
