A ADDTOPSolar Charger Power Bank - 25000mAh Fast Charging Portable Charger with 4 Solar Panels Solar Cell Phone Charger External Battery Pack for Phone Tablet Orange

Item came nicely packaged. Once unwrapped, it's solid and chunky in the hand, about the profile of a large phone but much thicker. Also simple to operate and waterproof enough to withstand a bit of rain - what's not to like?The large 2.5Ah capacity is a real boon: this will charge your phone several times, even keep your laptop going. The downside of course is that solar-only charging will take a looooong time - that's just physics; four tiny panels just don't soak up much sunlight. Once you place it in sunlight, though - even a cloudy, rainy British day through a window - the green "charging" light comes on, suggesting the panels are pretty efficient for their size.There are 2 x USB-A outputs so with adapters you can basically charge anything. (Input is USB-C letting you charge the bank from a wall socket.) For travel, in-car, or thrown into a bugout bag, this little device is truly excellent. Recommended.

Now had this for almost three years, it’s a wonderful piece of kit. You can charge it either through its solar array or by micro usb. It has a high capacity battery so I’ve found it can charge a standard iPhone several times or an iPad once or twice depending on how charged it is. Takes about 8 hours to charge to max from nothing via cable, or in the best conditions a few days via solar. All of this of course depends on the plug you’re using to charge it from or how sunny it is. I personally love it, so handy to have something that has the capacity to charge your phone when you’ve forgotten to, or with a few hours in the sun, can at least give your phone a bit of a boost to get it through the day. It also never gets hot when charging for the mains which I think is a good thing. It’s a larger power bank which can fit in a big pocket. As for toughness/ durability, it feels very solid, would help if there was a clip on the back for it to be attached to a rack sac if you’re out on a walk but ultimately it is practical.

This is a great little charger. It charges far better than chargers I bought before with a single panel. It DOESNT come with a carabina which is really not on, but once you have bought one (69p!), it hangs off your bag perfectly. The fabric and clip will break in-time, so next design could do with something in the structure to clip to, but thats just constructive feedback.The charger itself has far higher capacity than 20k charge, so holds a lot and can charge to max in a day from mains. Charges best in a car windscreen (solar), without being distracting to a driver, for use charging a phone while using satnav, but charges slower than usage (Still well worth it though as it uses less battery). Cable entry point hangs downwards so safe to charge 2 devices even in pouring rain while hiking, or sealed charge point if you prefer, nicely designedReally impressed with the quality of this, happily rivals Anker as similar physical size (but far higher capacity), great fold out solar panel and fast charging devices.

The solar power didn't perform for us at all so envious of those that had success. We bought it for camping and pre-charged it all ready. We had bought it especially to charge our phones for over 5 days of camping to save us paying for charging there. In the end we used our car battery and then spent £20 on the campsite charging stations when we realised the car battery was flat. We had the AA to jump start our car so we could get home.

Fantastic buy, a great price and conveniently equipped with multi solar panels for charging top ups. Perfect thank's 👍

It works well as a powerbank but the solar-charging feature is, indeed, only for some unexpected emergency, if you survive long enough. It took me around 2 weeks of every day exposure on a south-facing windowsill to charge it from empty to full (summertime, UK, almost every day sunny with few exceptions). In winter, with shorter days and less sun, it took many weeks to achieve a full charge. Probably better to buy a power bank and a solar charger separately.
