You fill it from a mains adapter, drop it in a bag, and it charges your phone from two USB sockets under a rubber flap. The solar panel across the face is a backup: in strong, direct, uninterrupted sun it will slowly put charge back in, over a long stretch of hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn earlier version of this page led with a promise of power that never runs out, while a note at the bottom of that same page quietly said the opposite. We have taken the promise down and moved the note to the top, because the note was the accurate half.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"band\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the panel on the front actually does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall solar panels produce small amounts of power. A panel this size, roughly the footprint of a phone screen, gathers a trickle. Left face-up in unbroken direct sunlight it will add charge across many hours. It will not fill an empty pack in a morning, and it will not keep pace with a phone you are actively using.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flag\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharge it from a wall adapter for normal use.\u003c\/strong\u003e A standard USB adapter rated 5V\/2A or better, through the micro-USB input, is how this pack is meant to be filled. Treat the panel as the thing you are glad of on day three with no outlet, not as your daily charger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome things reduce the trickle to nothing at all: cloud, shade, glass, low winter sun, the panel lying at an angle to the light, or the pack sitting in the shadow of your own backpack while you walk. Indoor light and dusk light do not charge it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"band\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow much charge is in it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the honest position. The manufacturer prints \u003cstrong\u003e20,000 mAh\u003c\/strong\u003e on the back of the casing. That is their figure, not a number we have measured, and we are labelling it that way deliberately. Unbranded solar power banks are routinely rated well above what they actually deliver, and this category is one of the worst for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things are worth knowing about any mAh figure on any power bank. It describes the cells inside at their own low voltage, not what reaches your phone, and stepping that up to USB voltage loses roughly a third of it along the way. So the useful number is always meaningfully smaller than the number on the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would rather you buy this expecting a solid few phone charges from a full pack than expecting a week off-grid. If you need a capacity you can plan a trip around, buy a pack from a manufacturer that publishes a watt-hour rating and stands behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"band\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you can plug into it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"lede\"\u003eTwo full-size USB sockets out.
