Portable Solar Panel Battery Charger Review

This charger is amazing! I'm planning a backpacking trip and require a DC charger to hook to my solar panel. I bought this charger because it has exchangeable plates that can charge both my camera batteries when used with an extra 5$ plate. I hooked this up to my panel and was able to charge my battery in less than 8h with the charger working flawlessly. It also has a AC plug with adapter for the euro zone. The USB charging port is also a plus. I contacted the company to ask if this product would work with a solar panel and had a few questions as to if the device would shut off once the battery was fully charged (it does) and what would happen to the USB port (does not turn off) because I planned to use it as trickle charging of a USB battery.. I have not tested the USB port as my plans have changed, but I was very happy with the company responding within 8 hours of my request!

I love the single lit-10 battery and solar panel !

I finally had a day with some sun to get out and really test my EcoFlow Next Gen 160W panel. I was pleasantly surprised with the performance and ease of setup. At 11AM EDT (early October) I was able to peak at 130 watts input into my power station. I averaged 125-128 watts until my power station battery approached full when the MPPT slowed down the charging until my station was topped off. This is about 80% efficiency, which is about exactly what one should expect in real-world conditions and good sun. I specifically bought an EcoFlow portable panel, because I'd seen many positive reviews, and they're IP68 rated (waterproof and dust proof). The integrated sun dial was a definite plus as it helped me get the panel set at the optimum orientation to maximize solar input. The storage case is really nice too! I kept the foam padding included from shipping to pad the panel as it folds for storage. I will definitely buy another one of these panels, or a NextGen 220W panel as I expand my portable solar setup.

Handy compact solar panel plugs directly into my EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max Portable Power Station. Handy thing to have in a pinch.

I just got the combo 2 mx + 800 watts charger and 400 solar panel and I full charge most of the time , I whish I could upgrade to a delta pro 3 that should be mind blowing for my ambulance project.

Bought this, the extra battery and the 160 solar panel. Perfect for backup and camping!

I use this battery to charge my devices while on location in remote areas, and I keep the Power Bank itself charged via a solar panel at the same time (during the day, via the USB C input only port), which is is well matched with one of my panels outputs. I can simultaneously power / charge my MacBook Pro 13 via the USB C in/out port, 2 Canon LP-EN6 batteries (with Nitecore UCN2 Pro QC), my phone or a Gopro 10, though that would pretty much drain all its juice if the toys were flat to start with, so, for multi day missions, you may want more than one, or make sure you can keep up with the Solar charging... The two USB-C Ports are not the same, if you have ~40W or more of solar power, make sure to use the in/out port, else you will lose half of your available solar power if using the in only port... I made up a USB-C to 12V cigarette / car charging outlet adapter, which allowed me to charge a DJI Drone battery using a DJI car battery charger, though it may actually charge better from the solar panel directly - this system is not the most efficient solution, but I can charge at night... I also use it to supply extra power to cameras placed to run for extended periods, or for cameras with high power demand via the USB-C out. This is far lighter and more affordable per Ah than many other options, and I have had no issues, including use from rainforests with 100% humidity to below freezing conditions. Buying more before my next expedition...
