🔋 12 Survivors SolarFlare Power Bank Review

I'm not an electrical engineer but I tested the power output of this solar panel and was surprised to see that it can deliver almost the same power as a wall panel using an Anker charger an Apple Iphone 6 (IOS 11) already charged to 95%.

I get slightly higher amps when I plug it into my Anker wall charger at around 1.20 amps (the amps jump a bit here because I think the…
