Review on BigBlue Lightweight Waterproof Compatible Generators by Michael Hughes

LOVE this solar panel!

Used this to test the solar charge controller and battery for a week before taking it camping for a week. I love this panel. Definitely too heavy for me to ever want to carry a backpack but perfect for car camping. Enough current to charge a 15Ah 3s7p battery in one day, delivers more current than expected on cloudy days (can't remember how much, but it was more than I expected. The 19V output fell off and USB QC and normal USB fell out and only went 19V power and USB C. As far as I could tell it disables normal USB first, then QC connector and then USB C. The 19V connector supplies always power. However, if there is no power, it is better to disable the connectors than to have brown USB outputs to use one of them to charge the jump pack. I lost the charging cable. The velcro, to keep the wrapping of the folded panel in place has been undone but it looks like the sewing machine barely skipped a small section and it hasn't torn any further.You can send it back for a replacement but this will die functionality d it does not affect panels or the cover. However, be prepared to wipe the panel from time to time. The new coating, which captures more light, also captures more dirt. That's what I found when I put it on o the floor. It can be tricky to support and face up to the sun, so I'm trying to figure out a way to either use paracord to create support behind it so I can secure one end and tie the other to a tree, or use an old tent pole or stiff wire to make an X behind it to make it stiffer.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later
