Review on ๐Ÿ”‹ Lixada Solar Panel Charger USB Port - Compact Monocrystalline Silicon Power Bank for Cell Phone Charging during Camping Trips by Jessie Lopez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best solar panel when weight is of paramount importance

The best thing about this product is its incredibly light weight of less than 4 ounces (measured at 98g on my scale), making it ideal for wilderness trips and hikes you feel every gram you carry with you. Unfortunately, it's advertised as 10W as others have stated it's a long way off. My first two samples only produced 1.2W and 2W respectively, measured with a Drok USB multimeter. I was about to give up on the poor quality control of this product, but the next best example cost 50% more and weighed 100% more for a product that was advertised as 5W and was consistently emitting 4W. I received two replacement panels and both draw 4 watts in the hot California summer sun. It's enough to keep up with my rural use, so I'm keeping both panels. But don't buy this product thinking it's a 10W panel. And don't rely on it without first testing the output, or you might be in for a nasty surprise.
