What an awesome lite weight chargeable battery pack.
by Melissa (4 out of 5 stars)

Wow,

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.

Doesn't work

I bought this on a recommendation from a friend. The reviews seemed good but I have to say I'm disappointed in this purchase. The design is great and the concept is great - but the thing just doesn't work as advertised. The battery will not hold a charge.

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?

Ultralight and charges in the shade
by Melissa (5 out of 5 stars)

Very nice solar charger. For ultralight backpacking, I'm a big fan of the low weight (Is anything lighter?!) and ability to charge in shade.

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!

Great device!

Just got it this afternoon. This product is awesome. Played around with it charging itself, a guide 10, and my iPhone. I love that the film works even with shade obstructing part of the panel or in low light conditions. Things super small and light weight. There are four things I would change. 1. Double the battery capacity with some cleaver engineering inside the housing and make the batteries replaceable. 2. Insulate the battery housing. 3. Removable rubber caps for the input and output ports. 4. The input LED is too close to the input micro USB port. Solarfilm could make these changes and I would pay double.

Works as advertised. First charge went from steady read (dead) to full in about six hours.

The device needs to be updated to be able to cope with the higher battery capacities in newer phones. A full charge got my galaxy s7 from dead to 70%. This is an acceptable tradeoff for me in being able to field recharge(and it would have probably topped my s7 off if I had left it in the sun while I was charging my phone up off.of it), but the 1.5 recharge capacity claim is not accurate for newer phones.

Looking at the design of the unit, it wouldn't be difficult to ruggedize it and add some basic water resistance, which would increase its value to the outdoor crowd signifigantly.

I purchased this and lugged it around on a 5 day backpacking trip through the Sierras where every ounce counts with the hope that I could charge my iphone and apple watch. After a full day in the sun, it was barely able to re-charge the watch and no juice left for the iphone. I had the same result every day of the trip.

I think Powerfilm puts out some great products this being one of them. I'd really like to see this with a LifePo battery.

Everything I was hoping for in a solar charger. Compact, solid construction, and Made In The USA! I have charged it both in the sun and using the usb charger. I would definitely buy from this manufacturer again.
