Someone said the battery pack wont directly charge iPhone. Does the battery pack just run to the solar panel, which then charges the phone?

The battery pack can directly charge any 2 USB devices, either alone or while the battery is connected to the panel.

The panel charges a battery and then you charge your iPhone from the battery

The battery pack has a high amp output side that will charge my iPad 2 and Android phone. It should charge an iPhone. There is also a low amp output side on the battery pack for other small items.

Full charge on Solar charger? I can't be sure but seems like it was charged in a few hours. My iPhone was 100% in 30 to 45 minutes, maybe less.

If you fully charge the solar charger with a USB port Ajax of time the battery works great. It will fully a dead iphone 5 battery in a couple of hours. The battery will stop have enough reserve to recharge a second iPhone 5 to about 80%. The battery is great. The problem I had was with the solar panel. The panel will not recharge the battery.

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

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.

The solar panel is the only way for it to work. The solar panel is the only way to charge the batteries. You plug it in and leave it alone.

Did you lay the solar cell out in the direct sun for 2 days before attaching it to the number sign, as the instructions suggested? That will charge the battery. I did that and even though mine does not get direct sun light, it works very well.

It's a solar panel and will charge your iPhone and or any other small to medium sized usb items non stop over & over as long as your panel has sun light it'll charge it as many times as you'd like. It's a really nice product, really a good purchase!

You plug in the phone, then hit the button so that the battery pack will charge the phone, leave it alone overnight. What happens is once the phone is completely charged, then the battery pack will charge itself afterwards. Isn't that sooooo cool? Love this thing. Be careful thought, I broke the little stand that comes with it, got to be easy with it. :-(

No. The solar panel needs direct sunlight to fully charge and function properly. I had this same issue and so I relocated solar light to get direct sun and purchased a battery operated light for the area not receiving direct sun.

I think your asking how does it charge an iPhone? There is a button you hold down and it charges the phone

You have to use the USB they give you, it'll charge the iPhone first & then the backup battery. But, I just charge them both ts night while in sleeping since this lasts the whole day

It comes with an attachment that you plug into the battery pack and the other end of the attachment is a usb port. I plug that into my iphone charger and it works great!

on charging - the phone battery is priority, so the device charges the phone first then itself. You don't need to drain the phone fist - in fact you can turn on the extended battery and it will continually charge the phone until it depletes itself. I've been using for months and no damage to the actual iPhone battery at all.

I can't tell that it charges from solar at all. It is advertised and sold as 30,000mah but when it was received, it is 10,000mah. It does not chage my phone or my Ipad. I will be returning it. But, to answer your question, I do not know if it charges both ways simultaneously, because the instructions are so poor, in gibberish English.

you can charge via usb port from the solar charger And the battery pack. battery itself is aIt's lithium IOn 5200 mah. the solar panel itself will charge it but I don't know how long it'll take and it's more than just interrupted sunligHt On the Panel It's also The Angle With The Sun As With solar panels

If the powerpack has a 12V input, or you can connect directly to the battery, it should work fine. The controller that comes with the solar panel acts as a charger, and switches to a "float" mode when the battery is fully charged. You can leave it connected.
