You'll need to leave this in the sun for most of that time. You can charge it prior using a usb and an outlet or computer. If you have a smart phone it will take longer to charge. 3 weeks is a long time, I've only used it for 5 days at the most. But it needs to be in decent sunlight for several hours. You can charge this in the sun then plug it into your phone at night to charge your phone

It will......but it does take a long time to charge by sun. It will depend on how often you use your cell phone, and how well your cell holds it's charge. If you are planning to use the phone for games, pictures, gps, etc, then you you will probably have to wait a while (days) bewteen charges.

NO! this will leave you high & dry! It takes more than 4 days of direct sunlight to charge this pack, and by then you've starved to death!

I use it all the time in the car while we are moving, but for camping, unless you can recharge your battery, it needs the adapter for electric use. Car battery would only last a short time.

Or you can buy one of those quick battery pack rechargers for phones and use that. Unfortunately, you'll have to take a break from using it to recharge it.

I honestly wouldn't trust it to charge anything. It fell apart when I tried to use it on a cell phone during the electric outage this past winter.

From my experience, this is the best option for backcountry camping. Though it won't keep your phone or device charged constantly if you use it heavily, it will allow you to use it sparingly. It does a great job of charging even in less than sunny conditions. Also it is about as durable as you can ask a solar charger to be.

You won't need that. It has a USB cord. The only limitation is that it requires 2 amps. Some USB chargers only put out .5 amps.

You can buy a 110 to 12VDC converter. Now you can plug it in at the motel, or a good campground with an outlet.

I only use mine when I'm out camping. I have no problem with it recharging a Standard RV battery.

You can hook it up to pretty much any device. It doesn't work well charging by solar power. It is pretty much a waste if you wanted it for camping or things like that.

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.

I've used this to crank my truck many times but cannot tell you anything specific about the battery life for charging while camping as you describe. I'd guess it would work great but how much I'd say is dependent upon the 500 amps it stores. 1000 milliamps = 1 amp. Hope you get better feedback. I love this product btw.

No it is not a portable charger it's a car charger Bob check out www.FreeWireless.biz and learn how to ditch your bill

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

Great question...You can actually hook this up to a 9 volt battery, (maybe when camping), and it use that to charge the devices...Great product, I have one...Love it...I hope this was helpful...http://amzn.to/1Fk67FU

Yes. But if you want a faster results. I have Soldiers come up with different kind of gadgets to charge their cell phones, including a car battery charger. I bet you can all kind of things out there.

A handy person could help you wire in a charging pigtail and most any small charger of the same voltage would work. If you have a radio shack nearby just take the whole thing down to them and see what they can do for you.

It will charge or power anything with a micro USB connector. If your device has a micro USB connector it willl work.This is the connector for Android, Kindle, etc. A full charge in it will power our cell phone for hours, or recharge it 3 times or more. I can't say too many good things about it.
