If i fly on a rocket ship and get closer to the sun, will it charger quicker?? Will asteroids passing the sun stop the charging process?

It will only charge up to a specific rate which is achievable on Earth, so it would max out well before you got anywhere near the sun. If the asteroid is literally in front of your rocket ship it might affect charging capability (it's effectively an eclipse) but if it's far in front and you're already close to the sun, the brightness will far outpower what small shadow the asteroid would cast.

There's a sweet spot between max power and melting. You'll have to experiment.

For the first question the answer is Yes, yes it will. To answer the second question it would depend on how long the asteroid will be blocking the sun. If it is just seconds then no. if for some reason this asteroid defies all laws of Physics and just stops in front of the sun blocking all light to the earth then it will stop the charging process.

Yes and yes! The only thing that can stop this carger from working is if it gets blocked by Uranus.

If you've got a nuclear powered rocketship I'm sure there will be an outlet in that shipyou can use to power whatever device you have.If not run that rocketship right towards the sun it should recharge then when passing through the suns atmosphereIt work on stargate universe.

You can get as close to the sun as you like but it won't charge during the night.

I'm able to do that with my Mercury 10 panel, but that basically means you're charging 2 things at once. You'll need good sun with the smaller panel, and there's no guarantee that the Goal Zero will charge. It will probably depends on the power you get from the Nomad and how much drain from the charging device.

I own a iPhone and iPAd, and they do not perform charging, neither by the solar cell or cranking it. I don´t have an Android to try it. I don´t know if the silver performs better, for my Kaito Pro 600 is black, I bought this color for aesthetic reasons, nothing else. If we rely on theory, clearer colors reflect light and heath as well but, this is only theory, I don´t have a Kaito silver radio to try. Hope this poor answer will help. Regards

It is charged by light. Best is sunlight. There is also a car/truck charger provided.

Don't know for sure as I bring mine in. Shouldn't hurt it other than the charging time will be less due to shorter daylight and charging itself may be affected by the cold. You will see less on time.

When motion is detected the light comes on steady. When charging the light will blink rapidly at then slowing to steady as battery is charged electrically. I don't know about the sun charging it.

No it will continue to charge even if you bring it to total darkness and then back to light. You can tell it is charging when the red led is glowing. Charging is very slow even in strong sunlight

I have only had to use it a few times so far, but even out of the sun it appears to charge as long as the power cell has some juice stored in it. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer to be sure, especially if you really need to rely on it for a longer trip.

no it continues to charge itself when in the sun. I would not recommend this item though. It only charges your device to about 30% max.

You are right it drains more then charges, that's why I wouldn't buy one. When the sun is shining bright it charges but when the sun changes angles and the light is less it discharges so if you do not disconnect it approaching evening it will discharge and in the morning it will be low or dead.

i have notice there is no lost in charging time, even if the sun goes behind a cloud. because i leave the panels on top of my backpack when i am hiking...i don't check the status of the charge until i get to resting point, about 3-4 hours later. by the end of the day the charging unit is fully charged.

When the sun hits the panels there is a orange light so as long as it is in sunlight it will but playing music and charging an ipod will decrease the battery life so it will eventually die ur best bet is to plug it in and play music through the aux cable

The charger had no difficulty in charging my Samsung Galaxy S4 in less than a day. From the reviews I have read about solar chargers, it seems that Apple products take a bit longer to charge than Android products. I feel quite certain this charger would have no trouble in charging the Go Phone.

Sorry but I have no experience with solar chargers or iPads. However I do know it takes a few hours (at least) to charge with ac, so I believe Mr. Samuel ' s answer is accurate.

It doesn't appear to. When I have used it and the sun wasn't available it just simply stopped charging.

I believe it is similar to the charge time for a cell phone or IPad...relatively fast and hard to say how long to charge in the sun.. I used it in the Montana summer and always had a charge.I used used mine last summer along with another (isound portable power 16,000 mAh) battery pack on a 7 day paddle trip.I could charge the power monkey then the extra battery Pack. This was good because I found myself charging other people's phones. By the way, I had to keep my IPad charged because I needed it for navigation on the river and a motorcycle trip afterwards.

not very much. the solar charge will not take it from 0 to 100%. think of it only as a very minor extra tool. unfortunately you can not count on the solar panel. I have tried it on a boat trip with clear sky, full sun, left it on the deck for the whole day and the maximum I could get was not even around 20% of charging.
