This is correct. I have a similar version.
Battery banks charge well on grid (or powerful solar power)
When fully charged, they’ll last DAYS to power your phone.
When left out in the sun all day, it takes DAYS to charge them fully.
You can charge your phone with its solar power, but these are best used in an emergency.
yeah i bought a 13000 mah solar powerbank, looked nothing like the image but had eveyrthing it said it had, looked like it was bought off aliexpress, alibaba or temu.. The solar panel’s cells were spaced out too just so they could save money

Just buy normal powerbanks, and charge them in a socket or with a real 7W panel. Never keep them in the sun, the battery will damage, may bloat, or even explode.
These things are a scam!
PS: either a fully charged powerbank, OR a 7W panel (take a panel that has USB-A or USB-C output) can do the trick in emergencies.
I have one of these too and yes they suck. I took mine camping thinking how it would be so helpful. Nope I let that sucker marinate in the sun while we were doing our thing, only to turn it on and have about 10 minutes out of it. So don’t rely on them.
I’m homeless I have four they don’t work in the sun I have to go somewhere and charge them and there all different brands have the same one you have even none of them charged in the sun!

I have one of these and let me tell you how well it works. If you leave it in the dashboard of your car all day or you leave it in the kitchen window in full sunlight, it won’t charge it enough to top it off, ever.
You can easily charged it up in the house when you plug it into the wall and it will hold that charge like a storage device which is awesome but a storage device is usually smaller because you don’t have to have a worthless solar panel attached to it
Some people are saying that a normal chargeable power bank it’s better, hm yea exept that those power banks can also be charged with a cable, the solar panel is for some emergency situation or very slow passive recharge, I’ve got one of those if fully charged it can power my phone 0-80% for 3 times without needing a recharge.
Using only the solar panel it would take days to fully charge the power bank, but after 10h under non optimal sunlight (cloudy sky/sub optimal angle) it does 0-15% of my phone (5000mAh) which is decent considering you use it when you cannot have acces to electricity, otherwise i would charge both the phone and the power bank via USB.
Also there are some with both solar panle and handcrank dynamos, but idk how much u need to turn that crank in order to achive charge necessary for an emergency call
Solar power banks are mostly a scam. Unless they have a fold out panel they simply can’t fully charge a dead battery in any reasonable time.
Only time they might be better than nothing is in a survival situation. If out in the middle of nowhere it’s better than nothing but still not a feature I’d pay much for.
If you don’t turn the solar device to directly face the sun throughout the length of exposure you will receive drastically reduced results.
You can’t just lay the device flat on the ground all day and expect optimum performance.
On full charge you can run a cellphone 8 hours with both phone and solar battery fully charged before you start . I used one to navigate while driving because my vehicle did not have a USB or 12 volt socket.
How much energy does a solar power bank generate in a day? Let’s find out!

Better than I expected actually. If I was stranded on a desert island I could get an hour of youtube vids in per day.
Can you try this again with the powerbank not in direct sunlight
damn thats sick
Thank you for sharing
Ive brought it but how do you turn the torch off. I get strobe sos normal lites but it just doesnt turn off.

Do you know or can recommend best solar travel panel to charge DSLR camera battery?
Thank you so much for this. This was so informative!
I got one for 2 years it takes 55 hours for full battery full sun
Great video
honestly i find it really useful, and it does what it is advertising
These things are worthless
In an emergency that’s good enough but there are definitely better options
10% charge on your phone after a day, where can i get one? thanks jeff bezos for more china trash!
Depends on if you use it goodbye just because they haven’t
It maybe the mah capacity inside the battery is low
Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh😂😂😂😂😂😂
How much
😂
I got roped off the some why . waiting all bay to change your phone in a life and death situation is not a good thing .Troy from NSW Australia 😮
What you get from Amazon — shop local 🙂
VERDICT: Gimmick💩

1.2w/h actually SHOULD have noticably increased the nattery percentage. Maybe its because you had your phone on max brightness the entire time. Lol
Did you really make 2 videos about this

Its not a SOLAR bank…untrue!
I bought one in Germany…..and it never charged at all.
They are a rip off.
One day a small bank will power an entire home.
What is the gage you are using for these measurements?
People are saying this is pretty good..lmao..

I have had an idea to connect this to a power bank and make a daisy chain of solar and power banks for science

And it’s so cute.
You could walk to a library quicker 😂
Uhhhhh…charge it through the usb and use it as a normal power bank.
C typye
If you want for an emergency then just buy a solar panel and attach it to your smartphone
I bought one , not good at all . Hours and hours and doesn’t get charged. It is to charge it on ac wall. No good for solar
On full charge you can run a cellphone 8 hours with both phone and solar battery fully charged before you start . I used one to navigate while driving because my vehicle did not have a USB or 12 volt socket.
😂😂 insane 😂
Was the phone on airplane mode though? Lol
