Great Compact Solar Charging Station/Lithium Ion Battery Pack Reduces Need For Fossil Fuels! BUY IT!
I had to write a review on this solar/battery system with the LED lights that come with it. This is a fantastic system that can do so much, and I am very happy I found it a few years ago and bought it. I can't remember what I paid for it then, but it has been worth every penny. It was packaged well, and came to me undamaged. I think I have used it for 3 camping seasons so far, and it can light up my camps like you have on grid lighting.There are 2 different wattages of bulbs, that burn very little power (2.5 and 3 watt I believe), I can't remember now because I have bought other types that also plug into the USB ports and have inline switches. The cords are around 16 feet long with inline switches near the battery pack end where they plug in. I bought shorter ones for closer in, and even bought some USB extension cords to reach farther away. Since there are 5 USB ports on the battery pack, you have 5 options (or more if you add multi port USB extensions). I have to say that I usually don't use all of the 5 lights at once just to conserve energy, but I have had them all on at the same time for several minutes without any issues. Even the smallest wattage lights, one at a time, can light up the whole camp brighter than most lanterns, and I only use a lantern now to set up if I arrive after dark.Another cool thing about the lights are that if you have any kind of portable power pack/supply with a USB port, the lights will also work in them for hours. I have found that the 2.5 watt bulbs will work in a 2-18650 lithium cell pack for a few hours, so that makes them a more portable light source for tents, RV's, hiking, etc. And the cool thing is that you can plug the portable 18650 packs, or anything that can be charged by the 30 watt solar panels, into the power pack to recharge them the next day in the sun. I have several items I recharge while camping, a lithium tent light, cell phones (Usually 3 at a time), my head lamp, portable Bluetooth speakers, battery packs, etc., etc., and they all get charged full by night fall.I did make one modification to the battery pack though that I think is a good idea...I was concerned that the little LED light stays on on the battery pack during storage, so I opened the case, and installed a master battery cut off switch so the power pack wouldn't trickle discharge while not in use. This modification works great to insure the charge is kept maximized over long non use periods. I soldered and shrink tubed the connections to eliminate possible shorts for safety, but this would be a nice factory modification to have a master off switch. I would like to see that, and possibly an optional carrying case like a lightweight suitcase for travel and storage.The panels (that are closely and permanently wire connected side by side) work well, but are bulky when bolted to the frame that came with them. At first I just laid them out on top of my truck, and when breaking camp, I simply folded them together and stored them in a felt bag. But once I took the time to bolt them to the rack, it became too much of a hassle to take them apart, and I was afraid I would loose the tiny nuts, washers, and bolts. I think a good remedy for this system would be a fold up flexible solar panel that could also be more versatile for portability on hikes, boating, and car camping, etc..So about 3 years of use so far and still working great! I love it, and am very happy I chose this system. I would like to see some greater Lithium Ion battery pack and charging sized packaged options from this company, if there is any? There are several companies now coming out with larger battery pack storage options with multiple types of power ports, so it would be nice to have a bigger pack with a pure sine wave inverter built in with 110v and 12v ports. I have numerous ideas if anyone is interested? I hope this helps with anyone looking to go green as much as possible?Ed in Kent, Wa. USA

Power of the sun!
I have only had this for about a week but so far great! Everything is working just like its suppose to and that's kinda rare with this type of stuff. The only thing that I was kinda surprised about was the green box with battery in it is super tiny. I added a photo with my hand beside the box and no I don't have hulk hands it's really that small. But as long as it's working great that's no big deal just not what I expected by looking at pics on Amazon. U only need around 3 hours of light to keep it charged also which is great and last all night when running 2 bulbs and charging my iPhone. Haven't tried with all 4 lights in yet. Hope this helps anyone looking at it.Edit: I’ve had this unit for over 4 years and it’s still going strong I even purchased another one with usb extensions here on amazon so I have a light in every room in my house they definitely have paid for themselves many times over in the savings to my electric bill. In the summer I also use them to charge our phones and things. In the winter you must conserve them since less sunlight. I was a little concerned at first because of the size I was afraid they wouldn’t last long but they have held up beyond my expectationsEdit2: I had to add another update both of my units are still going strong! I use them daily and the only problem I had was one of the lights went out and I had to buy another one. I got it here on amazon for 9$. these things are ridiculously reliable. in the winter we have to use the lights more sparingly but you get used to turning them on and off when needed. in the summer we leave at least 4 lights (2 on each unit) on until we go to sleep then leave thw bathroom light on all night for the kids. In the winter with far less daylight hours you need ro conserve but these things have paid for themselves a long time ago by savings on our electric bill. I would have been happy had they lasted 2 years but they have blown my mind. the old one still charges and hold power the same as it did when new as well as the newer one which is now several years old. I want to buy another one for my outside building and would like to have one to store just in case they can be killed and i need to replace one. Also in the winter when it snows remember to sweep the snow off the panels or leaves in the fall. I have made a believer out of so many friends and family members who doubted when i first bought one. The only down side is they call me to instal them. ;)
