Portable Solar Panel – 60W Foldable Solar Panels with 5V USB and 18V DC for Camping,Cell Phone,Tablet and 5-18V Devices – Compatible with Solar Generators Power Stations

Light weight, portable, charges even with cloud cover. Good enough that it charges my portable battery pack fully over 5-6 hours which I then use to charge my phone and watch. You can plug multiple things into it at once. Works really well.

In reading many of the reviews, there isn't a proper analysis of the performance of this solar panel. Most of the feedback is anecdotal.I have set up this solar charging panel to charge a backup battery that I intend to use for portable radio operations (POTA). The battery is a "Howeasy" 88 Wh lithium ion power station with a various outputs including 12 volts DC , 110V AC and USB charging outputs. The battery is charged at 15-24V with a nominal input of 15V/1.5A with a solar panel. The powerpack supports pass through charging.The solar panel is extremely well built and has a heavy duty/rugged quality feel. It folds into a manageable size package for backpacking. The charger is bundled in a heavy duty rip-stop material cover. It comes with a complete kit of plugs that will fit almost every need. The plugs are stored in a pocket designed into the cover.I configured the solar charger with the battery in full December afternoon sun. The charger came to life immediately. It was connected to the battery's charge input. The battery was partially discharged prior to charging. Initially, the charger operated at 22volts at 1.5A (33W) As the charge continued, the amount of current pulled by the battery diminished until the battery was fully charged. For this exercise, I did not attempt to charge a fully discharged battery.With the charger plugged in and opened to the sun, my radio drew 25 watts of power from the battery while the battery voltage stayed right at 12 volts. With the solar charger unplugged, the battery voltage under load eroded to between 10.7V and 11.4V which is a battery issue.Many of the reviews remark that the charger puts out less power than specified. What people need to understand is that the amount of power that the solar charger delivers is dependent on the load (the battery) The battery power draw is determined by the battery's Battery Management System (BMS) that controls the charge rate of the battery. While the charger is specified to provide up to 60 Watts, the battery may not draw this amount as was demonstrated here. A proper evaluation of the solar charger would employ a calibrated laboratory load which I did not have.Bottom line: This is an ideal charger for the power station that I have and I am pleased with my purchase. It is well built and well configured. I would recommend this product.

Works great and easy to use and charge solar generator

I have bought several of these. It appears to produce the rated power for good charging speed. It seems to be well built. It folds to a compact size so that it fits in a backpack. It comes with a large selection of cables and adapters for wide compatibility. It is a good value for the price. I consider solar power such as this to be essential for a go bag because electricity provides 4 essentials: fire (with an electric-arc lighter), water purification (with a Steripen), light, and communication.

bought it for my small power station. takes a little bit to charge up but worth it for the price and size. it folds up pretty small and with the handle and pocket makes it convenient to travel with. Doesn't take up much space at all.

I use this to power station in my car that powers a fridge and its a nice little travel camping set up. This solar panel charges my battery enough to keep the fridge going and all my devices, (phone headlamp ect.) It is easy to use, set it up on my car and it just works great, its small and i can tuck in away really easily when not in use.

I watched a lot of reviews of this type of panel.....many are quite good...all have some little thing or too that makes them awkward or not a good fit for intended use.. some are built better, or with more intelligent design.........I got this one for its added power of 60 watts and 18 volts. and the wide selection of extra output jacks, for phone and USB and so on.. so many things I won't need most of them probably. this has enough power to charge a laptop, or some larger storage device.. 2 USB A outs, and one USB C. might be a bit bulky for back pack, But great for campground charging, lights, You don't need a lot of power for LED lights, or phone charging.. but having the extra watts and the 18 V output made this the best choice for me. Not a bad price really considering it will last a long time, and if power grid goes down for a few days you can maintain communication and simple lights. Good idea to add a larger storage battery and keep it charged up as well, using this panel. some of those batteries are quite powerful. satisfied customer... there are lots of choices and technology improves, but I will find this useful as long as I have it.

Due to the trees in my yard causing shade, I cant get more than 60w at a time. But works perfectly.
