okay so today I'm gonna talk to you about a solar charging unit that you
carry with you that gives you emergency power and emergency resources if you
find yourself without an outlet somewhere now this thing is called the
solar-powered charging Bank but I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the solar
part but it's waterproof shockproof dustproof
and again they say solar-powered I'm gonna talk about that in a minute it has
power indicators on it and this thing is charging up right now at my charging
station I would not bother setting it out to charge it with the solar panel
because guess what the solar panel with direct sunlight is only gonna kick out
360 milliamp hours to charge it so that's going to take you forever
a little over 13 hours now it has an LED light on the end here's where you plug
it in to charge it right in the center there and that's a micro USB port
connection here's a close-up of the solar panel again you would have to be
in a dire emergency to think that you were going to use that solar panel to
charge it but that's part of the features so here we go there is a Type C
connection at the end you can be plugged into three items at once getting charged
and one Wireless item so potentially four at one time here's a USBC
connection up here on the side and when they say weatherproof waterproof rain
proof so on these rubber covers have to be closed for that to be so here's the
power button on the side they're green plastic highlights on it it looks rugged
push the button once it comes on push button twice and you get flashing lights
and look at this this is SOS mode dot dot dash dash dash dot dot so that's an
SOS if you're hiking somewhere and you need to get that light out to a
helicopter that's passing over this is your unit it can stay on full it can
flash intermittently so if you're a emergency roadside situation it's good
for that so here we are input two outputs and the outputs have different
ratings by the way which I'll show you in a minute and again it's only
weatherproof when that cover is closed so while you're charging something
unless you're using Wireless it is exposed to the weather so that won't
apply how thick is it it is three quarters of
an inch thick exactly and how wide is it oh it's three and a quarter inches wide
so it's pretty handy nice and heavy how long is it six and a half inches not
including that end connector that you're going to plug in there and there you can
see the little power button on the side and there are screws that are exposed it
looks like you could take it apart this shows the individual amp ratings for
each of the ports that it has on it and look at that solar power thing like I
said you're gonna need about 13 hours of direct sunlight to charge this thing up
and of course they recommend you can charge a lot of Wireless items Bluetooth
and so on I got it from my phone got the wrong unit because guess what I have a
samsung galaxy a 10 II and it will not do wireless charging so I still have to
plug it in but this is what it looks like 20,000 milliamp hours of operation
if it's full ip54 wireless charging so it's a pretty good unit and you know
what it wasn't that expensive I'll put a link for it down in the video
description I bought this on Amazon this is not a promotion I paid the same price
as everyone else and I'm just sharing it with you but the main thing I want you
to know is you plan on using this for a wireless charging system make sure to
look it up to see that your phone is compatible for wireless charging or
whatever other device that you want to run off of this when it's off none of
the LEDs are showing of course and when you get the on button it'll show you
what capacity level it's at so just to run it through and see how quick it
charges I'm gonna plug this into my Samsung Galaxy SIII it won't charge
wirelessly but there is something for about 12 bucks you can body to
reconfigure your phone so that it will do a wireless charge but that's another
dongle and it's gonna plug into your micro SBC port on your phone so it uses
that up to do that so let's turn it in remember push it once and you have power
push it twice you got the flashing lights and then each single push out
four lights on it goes through the modes push it twice and you'll shut it down
again I did think it was pretty cool that it has the SOS pattern going in
there a lot of people would not recognize that so again now it's
weatherproof it's closed up it's charged my phone
my phone's at about 85% so I'm gonna see how long it takes to go up to 100% so
just flash Jared said 84%
so I just want to see how does this compare to actually plugging my phone
into my stationary charger that's plugged into the wall if it performs the
same that's pretty cool and just a fast-forward here it took ten minutes to
go to 100% from 85% so I don't think that's bad at all and it didn't even
drop it one flashing light level on that battery indicator so this thing has a
pretty good capacity what if you put it on your dash it's gonna slide all over
it this thing is hard plastic so it doesn't have the nice rubber bumpers on
it that would keep it from falling down I hope you found this useful get one of
your interested I hope you enjoyed the review
