Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstar

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!
