So fun to learn from here 🎉
Quite a poor review, there is no section with actual performance numbers.
Kommon sense review from a kommon sense guy… Thanx!
hi, am interested but not knowledgeable at all on this topic do you know if the bigblue would allow me to charge a Xiaomi Mi 50w Power Bank 20000mAh Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion)? Thanks in advance 🙂
Survival Frog 4 panel?
Thanks for review
So everything is useless but the big blue charger
Can both the powerbank solar panel and the solar charger panel charge the powerbank at the same time? Because if so i can buy both
How can connet 4-panel to iPhone 13 Pro
Thank you
Very useful video. Helped me make a decision regarding portable solar.
Loved your video, however, there were a lot of reviews on Amazon about Big Blue that were not favorable at all, many said it did not work well or at all even in direct sunlight. This is so confusing now cause your video really had me thinking about Big Blue and a charging bank…not sure now.
just bought a new solar panel for my dad for christmas , it has usb-c out … its this one –
ELECAENTA 30W ETFE Foldable Solar Charger
i realise the video is a year old and this is probably out of date by now as a problem!!
Great video thanks.
Can you charge a powerbank using a solar panel?
Thank you
The usb adapter usage, can be used in the waterproof satchel side.
Do we still get electricity bills if we use the solar power banks?
Thank you so much. I already have the solar power bank, however I need the fast charge, so it’s the stand alone for me I can charge my power bank as well directly from it also.😅
After watching this video I am going to get myself cleaned up in my weather simulation chamber
Planing a 2 week canoe camping trip, so I am looking into folding solar panels.
Weight is luckily only a factor for travel from and to the start/endpoint.
I think I will pick either my 20k mah or two 10k mah Anker power Banks, so the power Bank can sit all day, connected to the panel and charge.
For a 1 week trip I would most likely only pick an extra 20 k mah powerbank and not take the solar panel.
Thanks,Big blue for me
Good thanks but you talk too fast 😖
Is it safe to plug a 40W solar panel into a power bank as demonstrated in this video without the need for a solar meter/controller?
Hi I just wanted to mention that the 60W foldable solar panel from Flexsolar has a USB type C port on it.
Power bank. Kept me safe through a hurricane
It’s probably best to just get Boffum 😅
2:11 I have a bank similar to this, though I have no idea if the solar panels can be detached
Can a solar bank have 8 panels, can it recharge even quicker?
I’m looking for a solution to charge 1 or 2 phones during an extended power outage 1-4 weeks in a location that is often overcast. Portable solar panels make much more sense for my use case. I have always expected that the solar panel on the solar power banks is just to small to be practical .
i think ill go with the solar charger since i got 2 10000mph banks already
Do you have recommendation for a 20k power bank in all black colour no accent colour that also has solar panels? Doesnt have to be many panels as its just for backup without dolar charger.
what about solar panels heating up. im here in the amazon rainforest. i try to charge my devices in the early morning sun. but at 8 am it already feels like midday sun(almost). so the panel gets pretty hot. ehen i put my hand on it i need to take it off after couple of second because of burning sensation. i also try to not angle it directly at the sun.
Thanks, you made it easy for me as I knew nothing about solar panels. I bought the big blue one 👍🏻
Get a propane camp stove, lantern, and a dual fuel generator for the big stuff.
Just shade any devises you are charging.

*****Funny, most these "REVIEWS".. they never test a fully charged unit.. how many times it can charge an iPhone XR. ******Banks are good for camping.. but not backpacking.. just too heavy.
I have three (3) "BLAVOR PN-W12 Pro" Solar power pack battery with solar….. instead of 1 solar panel, it has 4. If drained, it takes 4 days to charge up by solar. The Panels are good if camping and keeps it topped up. The Battery is "20,000 mAh" but it can’t fully charge my iPhone XR only 3/4. My iPhone has 2,942 mAH battery…. so….. feels like really a heavy 2,000 mAh. That is the Bad (Posted negative review on Amazon, $45) …the company sent me two more free… but they both had the same results. The GOOD is the very bright LED lights last a LONG LONG LONG time. Like 10+ hours on full charge.. that is impressive. So BAD, in charging a smart phone, GREAT for camping and bright BRIGHT LED light… and a compass also.
This one does not have wireless charging… USB 2.0 and 3.1 charging (I checked the output, only 2.1 Amps at 5 V each. I have older type that have wireless charging and 5 (five) panels… still "13,000 mAh battery" but really, 2,000. IT could be the efficiency of charging the battery to 5V 2.1 Amp is very very very poor and the battery is really 20,000…. but I doubt it.
How many watt solar panel do i need to fast charge one or two phones? I have a bank and the solar is a joke, i just want the bare minimum i need for an emergency
Can you use the portable solar panels along with the solar charging panels on the portable battery? Will they charge faster together?
Nice touch leaving in the blooper. makes the vid more enjoyable as well as informative.
Thanks
Can I put it on my windshield?
love from 🇮🇳🙏
You said it man it’s all about charge speeds if you have a few power banks you can charge several and have a full on system
What is needed is a really wide brimmed hat w/solar panels and the holes for cord connections could be inside the hat with waterproofing in between — or would that be a fire hazard?
Very Helpful information! Thank you!
Great Video on it all it helps educate me on what is best for me to purchase. Thanks for taking the time to make and post.
It’s decently sleek. The craftsmanship and the little details are pretty solid.
Love your state of the art weather simulation chamber lmao
Most solar battery banks charge at 200 ma @ 5 volts or 1 watt. A 20,000 mah battery would take 100 hours of perfect daylight to charge.
I liked when u asked but 1:51 did it for a comment. Excellent vid love the final comparison
