This solar charger is good. I am ready to travel, and then I feel I need to buy a mobile charger. I think that its charging is working well, mainly I feel that it is convenient for outside door activities, and it won't get too hot when I used it. It's safe.

Comparing to the larger version, this one delivers enough output to charge a cellphone such as iphone. It might not be powerful enough to charge an ipad, but you can always put a Anker battery in the solar charger's pouch to be charged. And then use the battery to charge the ipad afterwards.

I also agree with other reviewers that the color could be changed. Black being the most heat absorbent color might not be the best idea for a solar charger - even it looks really cool.

Bought it as a donation to a tibetan place where electricity is a problem.

I've been taking this charger with me on trips when I travel out of town.  It has provided adequate power when needed to my phone when I don't have an outlet or USB connection available on those trips.

I am using it with the foldable solar panels and the charging system will scavenge very low currents effectively.  I think RavPower has an excellent product here for a good price.

This arrived in very neat and clean packaging.  It includes a carabiner, the charger and a short micro-usb cable to charge it.  The charger is about the size of my phone.  It is a combination of hard plastic with rubbery cover over the edges.  The LED lights are very bright when charging itself or a phone.  There is a small white LED on the back which can be used as a flashlight.  There is also a green LED that is on.  Im not exactly sure what it is indicating.  My guess is that is showing solar charging, but there is no indication on the box as to what it is there for.  The solar charging is extremely slow compared to regular wall chargers, but is probably more than adequate if you are not constantly trying to charge you're phone.  Overall it is a very solid charger that is convenient to carry around as a normal battery backup.  The solar charging is an added bonus that makes this a good choice.

First of all I like this is solar chargeable so I can bring it with me when I camping out.  Another is do the same thing as regular power bank in the market.

Good product.  I wish it were solar.  It takes quite a while to charge before usage, but it works great once charged.

So far so good!  It is perfect for travel so I don't have to remember the charger for the hotel room!

I use this when my travel trailer is parked between uses to trickle charge the battery from a solar panel on the roof.  It works well and seems heavy duty enough to stand up to the Arizona heat/sun for a few years, which is all we can expect from any product in direct sunlight!

When you are out and about and you see your phone is getting low on power, it is time to use this solar charger. There is no need to use electricity or be near an outlet because this solar charger, well, all it really needs is power from the sun. If you are outside and the sun is shining, all this charger needs is to be attached to a backpack, purse, jeans and the sun will charge this for you. Then with all the chargers you see in this photo, your phone, depending on what charger is required, just plug it it and let your smartphone, tablet, video camera, GPS (including Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod, iWatch, Samsung, HTC, Blackberry, HTC and others).

This is so fun to carry around and people will ask about it. I mean, everyone will want one. No need to electricity anymore, especially when it comes with 1 x renGard 8000mAh solar power bank, 1 x Carabiner, 1 x User manual, 1 x Drawstring pouch bag and 1 x 1-in-3 cable.

Just so you know, it can take about 40 hours to fully charge the solar power bank under the sunlight! So, it is important to charge this as soon as it arrives at your home.

I'm very happy with this purchase. The portable charger has a high capacity battery. When I was traveling, it works well under the sunlight, it charge my iphone 3 times, after the trip, i come back home and charge it again via power supply, it is also normal.

I love hiking and solar chargers come in handy for multi-day hikes to recharge cell phone/tablet/watch. I received the ALLPOWERS 12000mAh Dual USB Solar Battery Charger to add to my carry on while hiking and also traveling as at times it is hard to find free plug at the airports/planes. The battery came on time and well packaged. The package included the battery, 2 battery UBS chargers (short and long), and instructions.

The battery looks well built. It is coated with rubber-plastic blend and has ribbed casing that protect the battery from sliding and falling. The casing also has a small hole if one would like to hang the device. The device has 1A USB, LED lamp, 2A USB, and DC IN plug for the charger. Both chargers can charge iPhone/iPad and other devices with USB cable. I was able to charge my phone 3 times from 20% to 100% with no problem. The LED is okay. It is slightly dimmer then an iPhone light but bright enough to find staff in a tent or a room.

The solar panel is well placed inside the casing. It does come up to the edges so I am careful not to scratch it while laying it upside down. There is a power button on the side. One click and the 1-4 LEDs light up informing you how much charge the battery has. Two clicks and the LED comes on/off.

It weights similar to the weight of an iPad. I am looking forward in taking the battery with me on my next adventure.

I would like to disclose that I did receive this product at a discounted price for the unbiased and honest opinion and was not compensated in any other way.

I bought this solar charger to charge my phone when go camping. Although I charged it by plugging it in the outlet the night before I left on my trip, and kept it on a direct sun at the camp site, it never showed 100% charged (went only up to 75%). The instruction manual is also not well written.  Thus, I'm giving it 4 stars. Nevertheless, I was impressed how well it charged my almost out-of-power Samsung phone. I will keep it and hope it continues to perform well when I need it on my future camping trips.

The plastic feels a bit cheap but so far it works well.
I like to be able to charge up to 4 devices with a limited size power supply.
Also I travel to Europe pretty often and I love to very easily change the plug format so I don't have to travel wit extra adapters.

It is a nice solar charger and will do what it is supposed to do.  I did have a couple of small issues with it.  That is the reason I give it a three instead of a 4.
So this came with 4 mounting tabs that snap into the frame.  I had to sand one of them down so that it would snap into the frame.
Then the other problem I has was that I have purchased over the years many float/trickle chargers that came with the 2 pin flat connector.  They have all been wired the same.  On this unit they were backwards.  But it was an easy fix, I just took the back of and moved the wires around to match my existing connections.  Over all it appears to work good and seems pretty well made.

I think it is a great power source with sunshine. I have nothing bad to said about this power charger.

Bought this one in May 2010, and is working properly on my solar energy system, charging the batteries properly, I saw many bad reviews about this charger controller, but sometimes people do not realize that you need some technical advice to connect this charger and do not mess up with the connections, inverting the polarity on the batteries to connect to the charger. Many people that want go solar are DIY and mostly do not have skills with eletricity, this is working fine for me 400 watts solar panels charging everyday my batteries and I still can see the current flowing to the panels. If you want go solar ( please ) take some time understanding the principles of
electricity and electronics.
