Review on Nekteck Waterproof Portable Efficiency Compatible by Heidi Ward

This solar charger works very well and weighs exactly 444 grams (no carabiner or USB cable, just the solar panel itself). I mainly use it to charge my LG Leon phone and in bright sunlight it takes 2.5 to 3 hours to fully charge the battery from a 15 percent charge. I typically mount the charger at an angle to a south-facing window so I could get a slightly faster charge by placing the solar charger in direct sunlight without disturbing the window glass. Anyway, it's good enough for me. I also use the charger to charge AA and AAA NiMH batteries via a USB charger, which I then use for various devices such as small radios and headlamps. I also find that charging a portable battery (I have 10,000mAh, and that's quite enough) is better than charging the phone itself directly. Oh, and a few more things. When I charge something I keep it in the shade so it doesn't overheat (I don't dare put my phone in my pocket). Also, I use a USB cable that is about 18 inches long when using this charger. I seem to charge faster with the 18" USB cable than with the slightly longer USB cable that comes with the solar charger. Anyway, I didn't mean to be verbose, but I hope this helps anyone reading this.
