BigBlue 3 USB Ports 28W Solar Charger (5V/4.8A Max Total) Foldable Waterproof Outdoor Solar Battery Charger Compatible for iPhone Samsung Galaxy LG etc

Impressive. Straight out of the box, I plugged my smartphone in and stuck it in a sunny window. The charge increased by 10% in exactly one hour. I am certain it would perform better outdoors in direct sunlight.The panels don't look like traditional solar panels and it feels rugged and well-constructed. Not exactly pocket size but it is small (as illustrated on the product photos) and would fit neatly into a backpack.

We are very pleased with the solar charger it is a great addition to our campervan and also used around the house to save electricity when the sun is out. The BB3 works best in the spring Summer and Autumn. We love ours it charges 3 devices at once

I went to france carp fishing for a week last year, I had multiple power banks and lots of other bits that i needed to charge up whilst over there including head torches my phone and camera batteries etc.I bought this just in case I had issues with the power banks etc. due to being isolated in the middle of nowhere.This thing is seriously great, I used this to charge my head torches and phone every day and even my smaller power bank, in decent sunlight it charged my headtorch and phone to full in a few hours. therefore leaving my power banks to charge my other bits and bobs.It is honestly brilliant, I have sold all my carp stuff as I just decided It wasn't for me anymore, however i have kept this, I use this whilst hiking, camping or just at home in the garden and its sunny and i need to charge something, after all who doesn't like a bit of free electric.If you are outdoorsy and are looking for a decent tough solar panel that can get some charge back in your phone or other tech then look no further.It also has studs in each corner of the panels when folded out and comes with clips to lay this out etc. or fasten it to anything if you wish, I have attached this to my rucksack whilst hiking with the clips and its charged stuff no problems.Folded down it is around the same size as an a4 piece of paper and the thickness of a book.If you are thinking of getting one, then don't hesitate they are blooming brilliant!!

Pros:-With solid sunlight, can charge a phone, and/or similar device, from 0% to 100% within a few hours(Depending upon your Milli-Amp capacity).-3 standard USB ports for charging which can be used all at once.-steel rings to attach clips to, quite durable.-Good stitching and build quality.-LED to display charging potential(Though, this can be deceptive, since it only means it has detected light, not that there's ENOUGH light to power anything except the LED.)-Rubber cover for USB ports when not in use-Charging controller and USB ports are within a pouch, so the device can be left on charge in a container.Cons:-Power supply various dramatically with sunlight degree. a drifting cloud will reset the charing on the phone, turning the screen on. So if you have a 1-minute screen idle before it turns off, and you're charging on a cloudy day, your screen will keep turning on and off because the charge will vary, reducing it's effectiveness. (I suggest leaving the solar panel connected to a power bank and charging your phone from that to prevent this).-Weight is on the heavy side of things considering, but this isn't as bad as other people are making out.-Under direct sunlight, can get warm. Doesn't get too hot though.Conclusion:This is an excellent solar panel for the price. It is portable, though slightly heavy. Thanks to it, and with moderate sunlight, have been able to charge a very big power-bank(26,800mA) within a few days. I have not needed to use a wall socket to charge my 7-odd USB devices ALONGSIDE charging my power bank. I have more power than I need thanks to this panel.So, if you need to charge phones, game controllers, Bluetooth chargers etc, this will do so long as you have good sunlight. If you have clouds, you will have trouble. For the price, it's a good product.

The folding solar panel arrived today, and I'm keen to ensure it works before taking it on any camping expeditions. Because of my line of work, it's important that my technology, such as my camera and smartphone, is fully charged, or that I at least have the ability to charge them.I don't mind admitting I've been very sceptical about these types of solar panels. Some years ago, I bought one about the size of an A4 piece of paper, and it was rubbish. It charged a little bit, but not much, even in bright sunshine. So, as soon as this one arrived today, and we were blessed with a reasonably sunny day (even though it's only April), I put my phone, which was at 50% charge, and plugged it in outside, leaving the solar panel flat on our patio table. Within two and a half hours, the solar panel had charged my phone to full.I have to say, I'm very pleased with this. It suggests that on a sunny day, if I turn my phone off and allow it to charge, or if I just use this panel to top up a power bank, it would mean I could be away from a plug-in power supply and still maintain my technology. I'll continue to test it, but based on my little experiment today, I'm very chuffed

Camping trip essential!Or even some free juice at home!Works very well in full sun, especially when paired with a powerbank. This seems the best set up as the powerbank doesn't use any power. It only stores it, so it can be working away all day, storing up those precious rays,ready for you to use when the s7nbgoes down.Each panel is roughly A4 so it's a little bulky but to be expected to actually be of any benefit!Excellent product 100% recommend
