Works well even in cloud cover... [Posted on 2007-05-09]
I bought this mainly to power my satellite radio boom box by the pool and when camping... and it works great.
Even with moderate cloud cover it can power the boom box (which needs 12V 1900mA)... and in full sun I can run the boom box and charge a cell phone.
Its also great to just have around as an emergency power supply for cell phones, radios, etc. should the power go out for an extended period.
Disappointing [Posted on 2007-05-14]
I got this to power my cell phone and perhaps a MacBook working from outside. I think this thing might power a mouse vibrator. Really disappointed as this panel doesn't seem to have enough juice to do anything.
Great Product! [Posted on 2007-09-22]
This is a very useful product. I've used it to power essentially any low-draw 12V equipment that I normally charge via my car's cigarette lighter. I live in Georgia (not a tremendously strong solar area) yet I was able to run anything I wanted to with moderate cloud cover. I used it today to charge my cell phone with a dead battery to full charge in less than an hour (as advertised). I haven't used it to charge my boat/auto battery yet but I have purchased the Brunton Solar Controller to utilize it. The panel is very easy to use and comes with multiple adapters. I'm not an electrician but I was able to open the box and use the product in less than five minutes. I'm excited to take it camping and on my boat. It's just a really, really useful product all the way around and comes with the Brunton name.
Super [Posted on 2008-02-13]
I was able to charge my mobile in 2h in full sunshine and my small tv. I am really happy of it.
Even Better Than Advertised [Posted on 2008-06-18]
I am a nature photographer, and spend significant intervals a long ways from a power outlet. I recently used this solar charger to keep lithium ion batteries charged for my digital camera. I am pleased to report that it works even better than specified. I was able to charge two Olympus BLM-1 batteries simultaneously, in a couple hours in sunny conditions and in six hours in cloudy conditions. Even when the temperature fell as low as 25 F, the charger worked just fine.
The units folds up into a small comparatively small bag. You wouldn't use it for ultralight backpacking, but it worked fine for me, and is comparatively light in relation to my camera gear. The charger got rained on, got mud splashed on it, and was stepped on my a small child, and survived it all just fine.
Sturdy, durable, portable, powerful and effective. Highly recommended.
(I saw one review complaining the unit wouldn't power a laptop computer. That's true. You'd need two. It won't power a refrigerator or a dishwasher, either. But if you need to charge batteries, this works great.)
