Solar Charger Battery Pack – A Battery That Keeps Working in Open Daylight

The lid of this pack is a solar panel and the body is built to hang outside a bag rather than inside one. An IPX4 seal keeps rain, dust and sweat away from the electronics. A small readout tells you what is left in the cells before you connect a phone.

Why choose this battery pack?

Most packs stop being useful the moment they run flat, which on day three of a trail is exactly when you want them. Daylight keeps this one slowly gaining instead of only losing. Rubber-edged corners mean it can ride where you can see it.

• Sealed to IPX4: spray, rain and a sweaty shoulder strap all run off the shell.
• Panel on the lid: the cells gain charge whenever the pack faces open sky.
• Impact edges: an ABS and PC body with rubber corners handles knocks against rock.
• Clip supplied: the carabiner goes onto a strap or a belt loop in one motion.
• Level readout: check the remaining charge before you commit it to a device.

Sunlight in, a phone that still rings out.

Hang it panel-up while you walk rather than tucked under a flap. Solar gain is gradual, so count it as a supplement to a mains charge and not a replacement for one. Dust on the panel costs output, so give the glass a wipe when you stop.
