Are solar chargers worth it?? (with charge test) 

*I love the Input/Output wattage function along with the % of charge remaining. solar **Generater.Systems** Well done.*

this will be very useful in the Netherlands for those 4 days of summer

I would really appreciate one of these as I live in South Africa where there is a LOT of sun and not much electricity!!! Thanks for the video.

Another point: you could use this to charge up a huge 22,000 mAh battery by leaving it in the sun all day long. It would give you enough power to charge phones at night time, too.

Solar chargers are awesome but they aren't made to plug in devices directly, as mentioned in the video... hIs device was charged at a faster rate which can potentially damage your battery. Instead, you should use it to charge your powerbank & use the powerbank to charge the rest of your devices

Hey Matt, congratulations on your success. You're a young man and as a mom of a 19 year old son I would be very proud of what you were doing! I found you because I've saved about $100 to purchase a solar cellphone charger for when we go tent camping. Thank you for the information and great advice. Have a great day. Shelley

You could take a portable charger to charge your phone and use the solar charger to charge the portable charger

"Sunlight, good job!" 😂👏🏻

Mate 2.4amps is 2.4amps whether it's "out of the wall" or solar. If you didn't do the test in full clear sunlight it is invalid for peak ability testing to know if they are worth it. Average bright conditions with a bit of sun 1amp isn't bad but I wanted to know if they produce thier rated power in full sun. If they do they would be "worth it"

I have single board computer, Rasberry Pi that needs DC POWER Adapter 5V and 2.5A So will I be able to use this Charger instead of DC power adapter ?

Perfect for here in this part of Australia. Entertaining and real review. Good work.

I was thinkig about this kind of tech last week and yeah , you actually did video about it , insane... I would like to use it so much !

Dang, these would be awesome for those days when you're just chillin with the homies outside on a sunny day, beach, literally anything. awesome video dude would love one of these!

How fast would this charge indoors? Like if it's next to the window

Do you wash face when you get up? Or before recording?

I'm always going on vacation to places with not much switch-plugs so I can't charge my phone.

Is fast charging possible with it?

Would love to have one of those. Great vid as always! :)

Great review. I'm sold on the idea of getting one now. Thanks

This channel is so unique. He deserves more subscribers and i witnessed matt's tansformation and evolution of his cannel since 100k subs ;D Keep it up bro Love the CONTENT!

WARNING power fluctuating due to solar access can harm your device and overheating in sunlight can destroy batteries, if applicable use a power bank (something that exceeds your main devices mah by 30%) as to have a buffer from fluctuations and access to a good charge on a rainy day or at night. Personally I carry 2 10000mah power banks on any extended hikes. This covers my 6000mah phone 8000mah flashlight/sos signal and my 3000mah rechargeable lighter.

this looks really cool and would love to have one! Nice video btw!

So more watz equals faster charge? or is it the hertz?? the amount of solar panels? Idk any of this stuff lol !

exactly what I needed to know, thank you!

I want one its so cool! Also, great video as always and I can't wait for more vlogs from your next trip. You vlogging is awesome.

This is awesome! I want one! Thanks for the video:)

How long will it last for?

This is so ironic because I just received my solar charger/battery pack today. It works alright so far.

In a scenario where the power goes down for an extended period of time (survivalist situation), or you're going camping, this makes total sense. I wonder how waterproof it is? Would it hurt it much to get rained on?

Some crazy awesome shots in this video! EasyAcc are a great company!

The main factors with solar chargers is how compact you need it to be & what you need to charge & how sunny your part of the world is. If your charging normal head torches a 15w panel will do on a cloudy day..sunny day your bank or phone but don’t leave phones or batteries in the direct sun. If your charging a smart phone you’ll really need the panel to be 15-20w on a bright day..if it’s 15w overcast the panel may not supply enough & you may need a panel that auto resets & starts the phone charging again or every cloud will require you to plug it in again. A good idea is just charge a battery bank under the panel (not in direct sun) & then use that battery bank at anytime. The price & size of the panel doesn’t feel much bigger as you get to the useful 25-30w range which is more reliable in overcast weather. Laptops you need 40-70 watts but the folding panel starts to become bulky & it’s less backpack camping & more car or base camp gadget although there not that heavy so they could be used in backpacking or kayak trips if desired. Anything over that level & your really talking about car or home use.. The efficiency of the panel can be 15-25% so look for that & as tech moves on they get better so ignore old models & check it’s efficiency level. Battery banks with little 5w panels don’t really do much & your hardly even charging the battery bank on a sunny day & of course who leaves a battery bank out in the sun !!!

worth charging for camera ?

Whats the background music?

This So Cool! And I Would Love to Have 1 as its gets around 40-45 degree celsius (105~ fahrenheit) hot in India I bet it will be more useful here!

I get mixed results from my Ravpower 21w, on a partly cloudy day it charges a 20,000mAh battery bank from 26% to 38% (2400mAh) in about an hour, on a super cloudy day (threatening thunder storms) it gets about 6-800MaH per hour. This is the UK.

these are great for emergency situations in conjunction with a battery bank. but not practical for daily use charging.

And me being so struck by the product I realise I entered into one from 5 years ago 🤣🤣 still watching in 2021 then haha

That's awesome, if I had one it would be great for outdoor use

Could you tell me what's the song in the background? Dope video, keep it up! :D

This the best and biggest still in 2019? Can this charge a USBC 4000mah 45WH Chromebook that has a 5v 3a OEM input? How long would it take in direct sunlight? does it have a reverse drain diode protection from clouds and nightfall?

I want one!! This would be so cool for music festivals and just like all day outdoor events

I think it's worth the price. With 4 USB cable entries and 4 solar panels, plus a good small size for carrying it around, I'd say it's a fair price. $63 is a good amount in my opinion.

Car window shade or moon roof shade

Can It power and play devices or is it just for recharging only?

Nice vid, thanks ms tech

how are you planning to keep this in you car if you are planning to give it away?

You could put it on your car dash.

I'm thinking of going off the grid for a few months and my mother is going to buy me one of these so I can keep in touch with her via FaceTime. Do you know of any other ones that keep the charge for a long time?

thanks for making an honest review!

Great video, I'd love one of those

Still loving the content over here!

definitely want one actually I want it for my sister she lives in an area not always suffers from power down periods that extend sometimes up to six hours so it will be a great help

good to use at a picnic, beach, outdoor concert, camping...

Very knowledgeable... Thank you. . .

Love to have that I want one ❤️ perfect for bike packing 😍❤️

Great for camping and long session fishing and when phone is full can top up a portable charger so night times have plenty of power to watch movies ,deal with emails etc

I want one but is it a portable charger with like 10k-20k mah

That’s cool, you just need a field big enough to open the whole thing up then when it’s charged your phone you can ring for a take out for some food as you couldn’t fit any in your back pack

One question: is it waterproof?

Thanks for the review - I would also like to be in the drawing..

Yeah. They are quite practical 👍

That would be really good to have in the car. I want one now.

Great Video! You're almost to that 2,000 likes! I'll take one solar charger please lol

Got to have one for my next festival

Hmm this is pretty cool yes 10-20% give or take for the test but seems like it's worth it for sure for if your mountain climbing or something would be great for an emergency like that or if you forget to charge phone before going on a picnic

I would definitely want one of these!

Now try a battery Bank?

I would love to try one of these

I would love one of these!

Heck yes this is super worth it to me. I live in Hawaii with sun mainly all year round boo me I know Lol! Solar is well worth it but it does come down to price and use for me. This is a fair price camping, vacations and especially emergencies perfect. Love to win it! Great review thank you!

I'm in Texas. 9 months of nothing but sunny days. The other 3 are just cloudy.

Welcome back!👐👐 Peace

I totally want that. Easily could be useful out here under the California sun...

I read a very happy review about the "Urberg" 28W solar panels, where they stated that they charged their phone battery full in 1,5 hours, while playing music... Not sure what their battery capacity was, but another review stated that they give out up to 3A per USB port in strong sunlight, which MAY be a typing error, as the website that sells them states that they give out 2,1A per port. The review goes on saying it gives out maximum 3.6A total from both USB ports combined... If this is true, it means that it is limited to giving out 18W (3,6A x 5V) actual power under good but realistic conditions. This is 64% of what they are rated for, but solar panels never really reach their maximum capacity (some only get 45% of what they are rated for), so im guessing 64% is at least acceptable. I ordered 2 of these on sale, so i will be able to charge an acceptable amount (100-200mA per panel) even on overcast days, so i at least have enough power for my GPS device (which draws around 200mA on average with regular use)...

You should do other comparisons as well, like smaller solar panels, solar panels that are on the portable battery charger etc. Just few more items, not increasing your workload much but would give us heaps of more info ;) This video was great though!-)

Better than that POS solar ball cap you reviewed. Great Vid!

I would like one! awesome video

in Saudi Arabia this is extremely useful we have 365 sunny days lol, I guess turning solar would be the next goal !

My dad owns a buisness and we have to take like 4 hour+ roadtrips every weekend or almost every weekend and im always having to charge my phone in the truck and its so slow luckily my birthday is next month so ill ask them if i can get this for my birthday

I want one bro, im going camping at then end of this month and would like to impress my family soo yeah

Battery packs are more useful imo. Use the solar charger to charge a battery pack when camping, then the battery pack to charge your phone. The veritable consistency of light to power with solar cells can damage your cell phone battery because the power isn't consistent. Better to damage a 20$ battery pack rated for your phone then a 800$ phones battery that needs replaced through labor costs.

Colorful panels does it change much.

I want one, it looks so cool!

This would be awesome for camping if I get one that's what I'm using it for!!

I want one. This is really cool.

But it with a little angle, so the sun is in a straigt line with the panel, it will produce more power

23% charge out of thin air....i will take it. I just need that 1-2% for phone call. 23% is huge.

It would be awesome to get one of those!

I don't even think it matters if it was "scientific" you're measuring real use cases. That's more important IMHO.

doesnt seem practical but its the kind of thing where its like, 'yeah i have one'

Sound cool to me, might be worth to get one when i get a new cellphone.

Long as it's day time they will work.its just the bigger one you get will give you a better charge.long as you keep the snow off.these small ones won't work to well.

perfect size to have on a dashboard

I have a similar device that has a power bank built into it I dunno just seems a bit more practical to me

I need one of those, so my battery doesn't die so fast when playing Pokemon go

Hi, I would love one of those solar power banks.

You know those friction powered flash lights that you shake incoperate that in a phone charger

Considering how sunny India is this sounds perfect.

MS Tech Good Job!!

i would like one of these, because my phone is always empty.
