[Upgraded Version] Solar Charger, Nekteck 6000mAh Dual Solar Panel with 2 Port Portable Charger Backup Power Pack for iPhones, Samsung Galaxy Phones, Android Smartphones, GPS, and More
Improved version addresses the two biggest problems! Very nice battery!, After owning the previous version of this solar charger, which was a great product in its own right, I was so happy to see that the upgraded version addresses my main two concerns: it can charge twice as fast in the sun and it has a 20 percent larger battery capacity. Nekteck accomplishes this is a novel way: it put a second solar charger on the back which is held on by flexible leather, so it can be swung out to face in the same direction as the panel on the front. To be clear: this still isn't going to provide a great charging rate for the battery, but if you've got no choice and you leave it out in the sun all day, two panels is definitely going to be better than one! The bump in battery capacity from 5000 mAh to 6000 mAh is definitely appreciated, and puts this battery into 2-full charge range for phones with smaller batteries. Otherwise, you can count on one full charge and a good bump after that for most phones, like my Galaxy S6. These improvements do leave the upgraded version quite a bit heavier than the original, but the trade-off is definitely worth it, in my opinion.
Otherwise, this solar charging battery operates as you'd expect: a power button to initialize charging a device or to see the charge level of the battery (1-4 led lights will show depending on how full the battery is). The loop and included carabiner are surprisingly useful for hanging the battery in a place where it will get sun or just for stowing and organizing the battery in or on a pack. The battery has two USB ports (1A and 2A) which are both covered by a rubber flap which should help with durability.
Nekteck was kind enough to provide me with a discount on this battery so that I could try it out and leave an informed review. I've been impressed and have had other great experiences with Nekteck products in the past.
**EDIT: Holy cow, I didn't even realize this thing had a build in LED flashlight! Nice touch!**
