When you’re shopping for a solar phone charger, there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure you get the right one for your needs, including:
Type of charger Power output Size Device compatibilityYou want to make sure the charger you get is powerful enough to charge your devices. If you’re only looking to charge one smartphone, a solar phone charger with a lower power output can work for you.
If you need something that can charge multiple devices or larger electronics like tablets, you’ll want a solar phone charger with more power. A wattage between 10 watts and 15 watts of power is a good rule of thumb when looking for a solar phone charger. Since this one comes in at Solar power: 6W / 1A... its not on the higher end, so don't expect a fast charge.
25000mAh is a good size hold for a power bank. Since the charging speed is slow, at least it has a good amount of reserve to hold the juice.
I gave it 4 stars because its got a nice fold up set of panels. I wish it charged faster, but it is what it is. They even say under the q&a about it that Usually, it needs 40-45hrs to full charge by the direct sunlight.
Yikes. That's a long time.
I've only used it once and haven't had a chance to recharge it, so I can't tell you about long term... only my first go 'round with it.
