Portable Solar Panel Power Bank

[5.815 lb] Handy compact solar panel plugs directly into my EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max Portable Power Station. Handy thing to have in a pinch.

[1] I finally had a day with some sun to get out and really test my EcoFlow Next Gen 160W panel. I was pleasantly surprised with the performance and ease of setup. At 11AM EDT (early October) I was able to peak at 130 watts input into my power station. I averaged 125-128 watts until my power station battery approached full when the MPPT slowed down the charging until my station was topped off. This is about 80% efficiency, which is about exactly what one should expect in real-world conditions and good sun. I specifically bought an EcoFlow portable panel, because I'd seen many positive reviews, and they're IP68 rated (waterproof and dust proof). The integrated sun dial was a definite plus as it helped me get the panel set at the optimum orientation to maximize solar input. The storage case is really nice too! I kept the foam padding included from shipping to pad the panel as it folds for storage. I will definitely buy another one of these panels, or a NextGen 220W panel as I expand my portable solar setup.

I got this to have a second power bank to switch out with so as to always have a charged power bank to rely on; as well, I needed one that would stand up to rain and outdoor use. Of all the power banks out there, this particular one is a no-brainer. In addition to its rugged build and weather proofing, it can be solar powered in a pinch, although I have not had a chance to test that yet. ToughTested does make an identical charger with two panels that charges as fast as plugging into the wall, but I wanted this simpler design to be able to attach to a backpack to double as a hands-free, pedestrian safety device when walking at night. The 18-light panel really lights up! The item looks exactly as pictured and it is well-built with a nice weatherproof strip that seals off the charging ports. The only caveat about this item's weatherproofing is that, although it works fine as a lamp in the rain: I would not want to actively charge something while out in the elements. In order to charge something off of this device, you need to remove the weatherproof strip to do so, effectively exposing the interior of the item when being used to charge another device. It still gets five stars, however, because the build quality, tremendously useful, weatherproof lamp, and its ability to power up via solar; there isn't another power bank out there that can do what this can do for its price. Unfortunately, I should have gotten two, because another family member saw this powerbank and snagged it faster than you can say: Say cheese! He has a twelve-mile walk to work on busy roads without sidewalks, so he's excused from absconding with it, but now I need another, LOL! So, just get two, especially if you have any gear-savvy aficionados in the house!

[0.92 lb] I use this battery to charge my devices while on location in remote areas, and I keep the Power Bank itself charged via a solar panel at the same time (during the day, via the USB C input only port), which is is well matched with one of my panels outputs. I can simultaneously power / charge my MacBook Pro 13 via the USB C in/out port, 2 Canon LP-EN6 batteries (with Nitecore UCN2 Pro QC), my phone or a Gopro 10, though that would pretty much drain all its juice if the toys were flat to start with, so, for multi day missions, you may want more than one, or make sure you can keep up with the Solar charging... The two USB-C Ports are not the same, if you have ~40W or more of solar power, make sure to use the in/out port, else you will lose half of your available solar power if using the in only port... I made up a USB-C to 12V cigarette / car charging outlet adapter, which allowed me to charge a DJI Drone battery using a DJI car battery charger, though it may actually charge better from the solar panel directly - this system is not the most efficient solution, but I can charge at night... I also use it to supply extra power to cameras placed to run for extended periods, or for cameras with high power demand via the USB-C out. This is far lighter and more affordable per Ah than many other options, and I have had no issues, including use from rainforests with 100% humidity to below freezing conditions. Buying more before my next expedition...

[3000 Cycles] We use this solar panel to recharge the Delta Max 2 instead of using a/c power, takes longer but it’s free power

[0.055 lb] power bank.

[1x Barndoors] Absolutely love this panel light and the fact it's a power bank as well. Extremely bright and versatile with all the available lighting options and settings. Thin and lightweight makes it very portable. Most definitely had to pick up two when they were on sale for $60. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a panel light!

[23.5 lb] Very Heavy�for me to but packed with reliable power. �I have several �Allpowers 100W folding solar panels (about 5 pounds each) and a Suaoki 60W folding solar panel (about 3.5 pounds) which work great are are easy for me to handle. (I'm a senior citizen and disabled vet). This panel puts out a lot of power...Even on cloudy days I get a least 20W / 1.9X AMPS more or less (when overcast !) Using the Goal Zero Anderson to MC4 adapter I was able to easily connect to my various "solar generators" like EasyFocus 288Wh and Suaoki�G500, 500 Watt. Remember that Goal Zero's "version" of Anderson Power Pole connector is VERTICAL not HORIZONTAL like most, so you'll need an UN-BONDED Anderson Power Pole Connector. The Goal Zero Boulder 200 Solar Panel �appears very well made. It's pricy. �$500+. �My Allpowers folding 100W solar panel was less than $200. I recommend this for those that want lots of reliable power and can deal with moving around 42 pounds. Just a�PS here. �The unit comes with a fabric carrying case but as the case is presently designed, you have to LIFT this 42 pound monster over the case to get it into the case. �I have suggested to Goal Zero that they make the case so it can be placed OVER the Boulder 200 which would require no lifting of the panel.

[Black] I bought this and the Goal 100 solar panel to power the wife's cpap during our recent camping trip. Worked great and easily recharged with the panel each day. Now using the battery and panel in my workshop to power lighting and recharge batteries.
