Pros: This has a great charging solar panel. Most solar chargers I see have a very small solar cell that would take days to charge the battery. The fact that you can close it protects the solar panels when you are not using it. 2 USB ports are the best because almost every thing runs off of USB power. Also the built in LED is very useful at times.
Cons: This will not charge my Iphone 3G. The main reason I bought this was for my Iphone and now I can't use it. The reason it will not charge my Iphone is it only has the outputs: 4.5V, 5.5V, 6.5V and 9V. The Iphone will only take a charge at 5V not 5.5V or 4.5V. Looks like I'm going to have to take this apart make it work right :-P
Other Thoughts: The charger says this above the switch that lets you chose your voltage: 4.5V-5. 4V-6. 4V-9V. How is that even correct? Why doesn’t it just say the voltage selections it gives out: 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 9 (I tested these voltages myself with a voltage meter tester). Also I found out that it can charge my ipod but the Iphone is too picky.
Bottomline: Only get this if you are using it for a device that dose not care so much about what voltage you are on.
Pros: Easy to use (open it and place in the sun).Good flashlight, very bright.Recharge by ac adaptor.
Cons: They send me a us ac adaptor, and on the picture is a eurpope adaptor.You don't exactly know what output you have to chose. (4.5 - 9)I did still not managa to reload something. Maybe it's not recharged enought or the amperage to low?The black one is cheaper and had more functions.
Other Thoughts: There is a red LED with 'light' on it, but if the battery is empty it doesn't light up when you open the solarpannels, but afther a while it's on, but I still don't know if this means that the battery is ful.
Bottomline: Please buy the black one, because allmost the same but is cheaper and haves more functions!
