Can it be charge with a solar panel

That is a great question. The short answer is yes, if you have the right solar panel. The device is furnished with a 12 volt 2 amp switching power supply. According to the product description on Amazon, "[the] Included 100-240V AC adapter recharges the battery in just 4-5 hours." In order to match that charging time, your solar panel would need to provide 12 volts at 2 amps. I wouldn't recommend that you go much above 12 volts, but you should be OK with a nominal 13.6 auto battery charging source. I don't know if there is a boost regulator in the Anker box or not, so I don't know the minimum voltage that will actually charge the device. But if you can get close to 12 volts, your charging time should be proportional to the current your solar charger can supply. My US$ 0.02. John

Sure. It is more so a battery maintainer. It will however charge a battery, but several days and lots of sun needed.

Yes, if you have a usb charging cable simply plug it into the solar charger and then plug it into your phone.

yea it can be charged but it will take longer to charge becaus of the low wattage associated with car chargers

I don't think so. The solar cell may charge without direct exposure to sunlight but it may not be enough to charge the battery completely. I have installed mine where sun does hit directly for few hours and the rest of the time it is at an angle but it still works perfectly. The light is not very bright, please keep that in mind.

I dont know. I have only used mine once when the electicity was out. I haven't even tried charging mine with the solar panel. I keep it plugged in.

Charging needs AC powerAs long as your solar panel has an inverter to make AC source, surely you can chargeBut this product is no good. I do not suggest buying it.

Absolutely. Just make sure the solar charge controller is 12VDC and rated appropriately for the output of the solar panels.

I would have to think you could as long as the solar panel gets enough sun. However, this unit worked for less than a year and I would not buy another one like this. There are better units on the market.

Only if connected to power. Maybe if leaned or hung next to a window with direct sunlight.. Will not charge with light bulbs of course only direct sunlight

It will but will instill a minimal charge. This solar panel doesnt have a storage battery with it to charge from. This is best used set up in direct sunlight with it attached to a battery cell. Once the battery cell is charged, u can charge devices off it. It will take several hours to charge a battery pack kr, use without battery pack to give device a little charge to take a few pics then recharge.

Yes. The solar panel charges at a low rate. I do not have my paperwork with me, but I believe it charges enough to then charge a cell phone 1 or 1.5 times after a 7 hours with direct sunlight solar panel to internal battery charge.David B.Electronic Technician

I charge mine with the Anker 14watt solar panel. You can also charge it using a usb cord. Just connect it to a computer or any other usb port that has the ability to charge. Great battery.

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

It is according to what you use for your power supply !! I Use A 12 v-dc Battery And a 12 v-dc Solar Panel To Keep The Battery Charged.12 V + In 12 V + Out / 12 V - In 12 V - Out. so your answer is (YES)

I'm sure you can let the sun charge it but I charged mine overnight because it gave it a full charge to start. It won't charge at night or cloudy days so best to start with a full charge.
