kilponen Solar Power Bank, 26800mAh Portable Charger High Capacity Fast Charge External Battery Pack Portable Phone Charger with Dual USB Output for Smart Phones Tablets and More Orange

Good decent charge once it is fully charged as a battery unit, but don't expect that from the solar panel....the entire reason for purchase and it's as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike, it does nothing at all. So sadly this is a great charging battery, charges a good couple of times, but only from being charged itself via a mains charge. Entirely useless for travelling, camping etc which was the whole reason for buying....

I have had a few of these portable chargers over the years. Most of them are indifferent - or else start well and gradually refuse to hold their charge. I can't speak for long-term reliability on this yet but this is one well put together bit of kit. It took about 2 hours to fully charge but the thing is pretty solid and has some capacity, so that's fine. It is almost exactly the same size as an iphone 8 plus, a little larger than my Huawei P20 Pro - if that's any help to anyone. I have charged this and dropped it into my car glove box. In a vehicle, especially, the solar charging is really useful - you can just drop it on the dashboard in the sunshine (or daylight) and it blinks away to show it's charging. The capacity of this unit hits the right spot - you can charge a device or two from it and it still has plenty of capacity. So long as you don't mind the size/weight then it is a very good bet.

----Review Highlights----A high capacity power bank, with two outlets and a solar panel too, capable of fully charging a phone 5 or 6 times, all wrapped in an aesthetically pleasing package. Although the overall charging capability of the solar panel may be negligible in most climates, it is a nice feature to keep the battery level topped up and overall makes the whole device ideal for outdoor trips and holidays.----In-depth Review----This is a very sleek looking power bank, which comes with a short charging cable and a short and simple user guide. I had a quick look through the user guide and it tells you to charge it fully before first use which I did using the power cable provided. There are also 2 output USB ports, one which is 5V/2.1A and the other which is 5V/1A, giving you a choice on how fast you want your phone to charge.I then used it to charge my phone overnight from almost no charge to fully charged, which seemed to use up very little of the power bank's charge, which fits with the claim that it can fully charge a phone 5 or 6 times which would be ideal if you went camping or a trip away from home where you would have limited access to mains electricity.As for the solar panel, I think its role more than anything is to 'top up' the charge in the power bank, rather than fully charge it. It seems to take a long time to noticeably charge the power bank with the solar panel in my experience based off the LED indicator lights, although it has been very cloudy the past few days I have been trying it out, so maybe it is more effective in sunnier climates.The appearance of the actual power bank itself is also really nice, it manages to look sleek and minimalistic, whilst also incorporating the solar panel into the design and isn't too heavy considering the size of the battery and how many charges it holds.----Overall Verdict----Overall this solar power banks would be ideal to take on any kind of trip, particularly one where you will be outdoors so that you can allow the solar panel to keep topping up the charge, although if you fully charge it before you head out, the 5 or 6 charges should be plenty for a short holiday.

This is great. I wanted a large power bank to keep in my bag that will be able to charge my phone and tablet easily.This is ideal. It looks stylish with the red accent colouring too. I can easily charge my phone 5 or 6 times without it running out, even without having it in the sun to solar charge.Its not to heavy, but lasts forever on one charge. Overall, Im very impressed and glad I got it. Its similar to one I bought somebody else as a gift, so decided I wanted one for myself.

It was working great at first and then it stopped working. I messaged the company and asked them to provide a new cable they said they was out of stock so they told me the cable type Micro usb cable for android and that's what I bought but it still did not work. I messaged the company again and they said to take it to a shop, what a waste of money. Now the suppliers are refusing to refund me. Do Not buy this product, it should have at least a minimum of 12months warranty but the company are refusing to help me.Waste of Money and Time

When this arrived I was rather impressed by it's sleek design and it had a bit of weight to it too.I plugged it in to a mains charger over night.This managed to charge one phone battery from under 10% to full in over 3 hours and it used one light on the charge disply.I left it to charge my tablet and it was at around 50% and it took a few hours to do so.I have used this a handful of times in the ten days and performance is very, very poor. Long charge times and it has a habbit of stopping a charge after 20 minutes or so of being plugged in.I charged the power bank to full, plugged in my phone which was at 85% and after one hour it was at 85%. Absolutely useless.

The media could not be loaded.  I bought this in December and now for the life of me, it doesn't charge. Its been on for an entire night and has still one bar. I've tried all plugs. It used to charge properly, now, not at all.Avoid!!!!!!!!!!!Please allow me to return this as it is terrible.Initially I thought it was wonderful and great. "A solar panel!" You'd hear me remark! "how wonderful!"I regret. Unfortunately have never had such a terrible power bank before.
