Solar Power Bank 20000mAh with USB-C, Portable Charger for Travel Camping

I do mobile live streams in the field. First trip out with my Jackery Explorer 240, I had a laptop, camcorder, and cell phone on it. After 7 hours it was at 28% remaining. Good enough, but also bad enough that I knew I needed something to augment the Jackery or be limited in the amount of time I could stream. So I got this panel. Second trip (full sun all day), I had the 240 powering the laptop and camcorder, but also added a laptop cooling pad and an external fan. The solar panel was feeding the 240, as well as an additional cell phone and additional external fan directly connected to it. The 240 remained between 99% and 100% all day. The panel also ran the directly attached devices without issue as well. When the 240 was using input from the panel to charge, it reported 60w input (which is the max it takes from the wall wart as well). In other words, the panel easily fed all the devices attached and did so for the duration of the 7 hour live stream, even as the sun began to wane in the evening. I do not need to charge the 240 before my next trip now as a result; it's already at 99%. The issue I found was with the stands. There are just seemingly fabric-wrapped carboard (or some other flimsy material) legs that are fine, unless there is a hint of wind. 5 minutes after I set up the panel, a 10 MPH gust knocked it down. I had to add some weights to the legs to keep it standing. Other than that, the panel is great and I'm really glad I got it. All I lack for a full review at this point is time. If it holds up, I'll probably add the 5th star despite the poor leg design. That's easy enough to work around, except it adds one more component you'd need for reliable use. But as far as performance goes, it's outstanding for me. *Edit- third and fourth trips out with this, in the same usage scenario as the second trip, only these times there was full, heavy cloud cover the entire time. Even with zero direct sunlight, the panel kept everything running and the power station was kept at full charge throughout the 8 hour day, with the panel still delivering 60w to the power station when needed. Very impressed with the power generation despite not being exposed to direct sunlight. Solid buy, no doubt. **EDIT #2- The panel itself continues to perform very well; however, the USB 3.0 port has broken. The plastic connector inside it has snapped off, rendering it totally useless. So now, I have only the USB-C port available. The seller told me Amazon customer care would send a replacement, but Amazon refused. The seller then sent me a new one directly. Huge props to them.

“I’m very happy with this portable solar charger. It’s compact, easy to carry, and very convenient to have when I’m outdoors or during a power outage. The solar charging feature is a great bonus, and the built-in lights are very useful at night. It feels well made and works as expected. Overall, I think it’s a great product for the price and I would definitely recommend it.”

Update #1 I used this panel for the first time for 3 sequential days, an hour or so per day. In direct sunlight on a clear day, it was producing only 46w max. At the end of the third day, it was producing 0w! (still in full direct sun) I appears it totally stopped working. I tried it again on day four (in full direct sunlight) and still 0w. All connections seem fine and battery is only at 89%. I found out there is a warranty, but I’m 4 weeks out of it. I contacted the supplier for help. I’ll let you know how this goes. It does not work properly. Pointing directly at full sun on a clear day, I am only getting 44-46 watts max. If several leaves block less than 5% of the panel this reduces to 17 watts max. (See photos) Sad to say, this was a bad purchase for me. I’m new to solar and needed a panel for a new Jackery Explorer 500. I made the mistake of buying this one because of the good ratings and price. Although there were no instructions, I connected it easily using one of the supplied adapters. I wish there was something I was doing wrong, but it doesn’t appear so. I even checked the label (inside the storage compartment) half-hoping it was a 50 watt panel by mistake! This was for emergency use and I’m past the return window. From the other reviews, it seems pointless to contact “customer service”, but I may try anyway. If you buy this, test it immediately. A better idea would be to spend a little more for better overall quality.

spent 10 days camping out on Assateague island and paired these panels with a jackery 300. we were able to keep 4 cell phones, ipad, a couple of battery packs and numerous fans running almost 24/7. Even on cloudy days we were able to top off all systems. Don't expect 100 watts, that's perfect condition in a lab they use to baseline the panels. We are quite happy with the performance and highly recommend for base camp.

Just got back from vacay where I used this all 7 days while outdoors. The solar power did keep it charged, and it was keeping 2 phones charged throughout the day. At night I would put it on the charger. I think it would not have lasted days without that nightly 1 hour charge. I didn't test that theory though. It is about the same size as a cell phone, just thicker, so easy to put in a purse or bag. I dropped it a few times, no scratches or breaks, hopefully that means I can use for a long time! Based on my experience I do think this is a well bought product for a max of 2 day use before its drained, unless left in the sun all day, which mine was not!

Update: 95-96 watts I have been interchanging DC plug adapters and cables and still acting weird got it to work with my extension cord with a 8mm size or something goal zero size dc adapter plug to my extension cord 5.5 mm plug. Not sure if it’s the dc plug shape or plastic housing making it not fully inserting or connection or the original solar panel dc cord sometimes I bend the original dc cord 90 degrees and either the dc plug or internal wires inside the original cable makes better connection and turns on my power station generator. Right now I tried to wrap the original dc cable around my small goal zero several times which bends the plug cable 90 degrees and it works it’s the dc plug or internal wires are cut or pulled out some wire fibers or something or the controller not sensing enough current or the generator *shrug* but the company is responsive and gave a partial refund. I can get it to work now but only by doing all there modifications. Performs Strange with certain power station solar generators, but works well with my goal zero. Seems to cut off at 90% on my Vatid 600watt power station solar generator. Tested out the voltage and was 18-19 volts but fluctuated and display started flickered on and off. My other solar panels voltage stays constant at 18-19 volts and No flicker and no wide range fluctuation Of voltage. My other solar panels can still work pulling 1 watt+ but this one shuts off power to my solar generator if watts is too low (20-30 watts Approx). In addition, Dc output does not work if you use a goal zero 15 feet or different brand thicker gauge 30 feet DC extension cable only could use the attached dc cable that comes with the solar panel To work. More over it Needs strong sun intensity to turn on my my power station generator compared to my other brand 100 watt solar panel. Got up to 96 watts with this solar panel compared to 50-60 watts from my other brand 100 watt solar panel on the same day and time. I like the magnetic closure and the quality build, will see how durable it is in the coming years… my other brand has worn out velcro and does not stay close anymore. My other two different brand solar panels took a lot of beatings from strong gusts and flew away then slamming on the ground folding backwards etc…for over 3 years and still working. my old rinkmo 120 watt solar panel (pulls in about 80-90 watts) it ripped open in the folds between panels and I saw it had cloth like thick braided paracord rope with metal coating type wires so strong still works even in the rain exposed so strong but heavy and huge (4 panels)

This power bank is very handy if you lose power. You can charge it via the sun which makes it even better. I had a small issue and I contacted the seller. They made it more than right by sending a whole new unit. They exceeded my expectations.

I bought this to use on my faux balcony that faces south. It was too cumbersome to use my 200 watt panel that came with my Anker power station. Works great! Really like the zippered pouch that holds the cables when not in use. I stash a microfiber cloth in the pouch and wipe off the panels every time I bring it inside. I called Anker to ensure it was compatible before buying it.

Unit didn’t come with cables to attach to an rv battery
