Review on 🔌 CHAFON Portable 60W Solar Panel Charger for Suaoki Portable Generator/Goal Zero Yeti Power Station/Jackery Explorer 240 – Ideal for Camping, Van RV Travel, USB A/USB C Ports by Mike Travers

This solar panel works quite well for such a small device. I was actually quite surprised at how well this unit performed considering it has fewer panels than some of the others I have. In terms of performance, all ports charge fairly quickly. Each port can be charged fairly quickly, although I wouldn't call it "fast charge mode". However, this thing does a good job of charging any device. I've tried my Macbook Pro, backup battery and phone battery and they all charged fully. I've only tested charging regular batteries, and these high-capacity batteries actually only charge half in a full day outdoors. Note that this works best outside, not outside a window or whatever. I actually use this to charge my batteries so I can use them to power my lamp and charge my phone/tablet at night. In my room alone, it really saves me a lot of energy. I just don't use the panels during the day and with smaller batteries this gives me a full battery. I would recommend going with Type-C for Type-C as that seems to offer the fastest charging. This is a great way to reduce power consumption a bit. It is actually very small and light for a device with three solar panels. Keep in mind that it will get very hot if left in the sun so be careful when handling it afterwards. It doesn't seem to damage the material or anything with prolonged exposure (accidentally left it for two days). I usually try to fold it up once the sun goes down so it cools down. Also, if you're leaving your battery or anything else with you, make sure you have adequate shading to keep your battery cool. The nice thing about it is that it's angled so you can just put batteries behind it and it stays in the shade. . The solar panel has three USB ports. It has Type-C, two USB 3.0 and one AC plug with multiple adapters. Some adapters are made for Lenovo laptops, but I really struggled to charge them with this one. It works with Type-C to Type-C chargers, which is EXCELLENT. It comes with legs that you can extend to hold the panel. To be honest, the legs are a little weak and difficult to open at once. Because they're just thin (plastic?) parts. When you fold the panels, they are simply attached to the panel with velcro and tape, which I find can easily break. The panels also have handles so you can easily carry them around and there are two latches to hold the panels together. In fact, the device was able to charge my Mac Pro in about four hours. That surprised me quite a bit. It also charged my HP and Dell (Type-C) laptops in about the same amount of time. Please note that I was not using my laptops at this time. If your laptop or battery is low, it may not turn on for about ten minutes while you use it to charge. The USB ports are all inside the case. on the back of the plates. The zip is pretty durable and you can technically stash a few things in there that you want to charge. It can't hold your laptop in a bag, but it can hold a few batteries in it. You don't have to press anything when using this device. It starts working automatically when there is light and charges something. I'd also say it's great for long hikes where you need some strength. Phones and tablets charge fairly quickly with no issues. This device also gets hot, so be careful when handling it. Also keep in mind that the more devices you have connected, the less power you will get per device. How it is. The design is thin and light, which is very convenient when carrying. There are no cables included other than the power supply. You must use your own cables with this device. Pros: 1. Produce a good amount of energy. Ideal for emergencies and hikes 2. Well built panels3. Easy to carry and store. A great way to charge your portable batteries at home. Cons: 1. The legs are a bit weak and I feel like they can easily break over time. Overall this is still a great product and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative and energy efficient way to charge their devices. It has pretty decent performance, making it perfect for charging multiple devices and charging them efficiently.
