A reliable, lightweight solar charger for backpacking is a great idea. Unfortunately, this isn't it.
What a well thought out product in design and function.
I purchased this product for its design, small size and lite weight. I am a back county lite weight backpacker and I have been looking for something to help with charging small devices and the LightSaver does it best.
It is a compact battery pack that can charge any small device at least once while at camp or during the night. It is a highly durable product that uses a solar film to charge the battery pack during the day, even under cloudy conditions and the stored energy can be used at any time later. You do not use sun to directly charge your phone like most competitors. Because as you know, no or little sun and standard panels will not charge your device. The Lightsaver uses sun to charge the battery pack and the pack charges yours devices concept is outside the box and that is what makes PowerFilm Solar a leader in this field for back packers. The only potential draw back is the ports on the ends of the device does not have a cover or plug in them to protect the ports from dirt and debris from inside a backpack or if dropped in the dirt. How big of a problem this is time will tell during the spring trail use coming up over the next few months. It also would have been nice to have the "system" in a water proof bag but I took care of that. One very nice surprise was the small flashlight, that is charged with the LightSaver, that I received in the mail with the product. It is now my go to flashlight due to it weights almost nothing and it is easily charged with the system after I charge my phone...thanks for a great product.
I bought one of the early units and it didn't function. However, the company was very quick to completely replace the unit.
This one does the job, so I'm very happy!
I've left this sit on my porch in direct sunlight for TWO DAYS and the light still blinks that it is <50% charged. According to the product description, it should FULLY charge in 6 HOURS. But after over 12 hours of direct sunlight, it still has NOT charged past 50%. So I tried plugging in to my computer using the micro USB cord that came with the charger and it won't charge that way, either. I don't know if the battery is bad or what but it's VERY FRUSTRATING to have paid $100 for this and it doesn't work. At ALL.
This is the second solar-charger I've bought from two different manufacturers that has been a bitter disappointment. Do ANY of these things work AT ALL? Seriously - do ANY of these solar chargers work at ALL?
