This is a very nice portable solar panel. The quality of all materials is high. The panel does fold up into a kind of oversized wallet. I plugged my phone directly into the solar charger usb. The phone recognized it but warned that the amount of power coming in was probably not going go charge it. It showed four hours to a full charge. I put it out in best possible conditions not a cloud in the sky, direct sunlight. Four hours later it still showed that it needed another four hours to charge. I tried to use the two pin connector to a battery for an ice chest radio. I left it on for a few hours and only got about the equivalent of 10 mins on a 2amp trickle charger. This test was again in a perfect conditions.
I find the best use of this unit is to charge up portable batteries that can then be used to charge your phone. While this does indeed turn the suns energy into electricity, it performs about as well as my 10$ HF panel. I like it because I can fold it up and throw it in a bag but I did not have the best experience with it.

After putting this thing outside and testing with multimeter I got 0.00 volts. Disappointed as I love my other Schumacher charging items.

As someone who loves to go, Moto camping, I’m always looking for ways to keep my devices charged while I’m out
Recently, I picked up this little mat with both alligator clips and a USB. This allows me to charge multiple ways but the Matt is also a small enough that I can attach it to the top of a motorcycle in charge while going down the road. It rolls up very small, and works like a trickle charger.
I will say that while it doesn’t charge incredibly fast, it does work well. It’s small enough to attach to a backpack if you’re hiking in a sunny area, or just sit on a car hood, charging a phone.
The price point was affordable and it’s a great companion when you’re out and about. I’m so glad I got it.

I’m quite impressed with this little solar cell! I have a number of larger folding cells (as a matter of fact, this is the smallest cell I have) but for a little guy, this fellow has decent performance. At 19.2V and .5A, this is turning out right at its 8W rating, and this is in less-than-perfect conditions, this quick test was done between breaks in rain showers. While the sun was shining well, there was still a light high-altitude and humidity haze. In good conditions, I would expect it to slightly better this (also if I wasn’t slightly shading the corner of one cell with my multimeter (d’oh!).
The build quality appears to be comparable to my other small folding cells (Goal Zero and Anker) and seems quite functional. Folded up it’s only 6x7x1.5 inches, so it’ll fit easily in just about any pack. It’s not a power house, but given good sun it will definitely charge up a small power bank during the day to keep your phone charged up.
One star deducted for claiming to be a battery trickle charger. Technically it is, and it comes with the clamp leads for connecting to a battery, but it does NOT come with any kind of controller, it’ll very happily keep cramming juice into your battery well past full charge. I’d say it’s a great solar cell, but NOT a great battery charger. If they included a basic charge controller (or just called it a solar cell instead of a battery charger) I’d have given it a full five stars.
Overall, this will definitely earn a place in my backpack!

i have a dual battery set up, and if we stay in the same spot for more than 24 hours, the dometic wipes the 2nd battery out. With this solar trickle charger, i was able to stay in the same spot for 3 days without driving. its nice and compact, i just store it in my glove. i have the extended cord to follow the sun. good buy.

I have to say I was somewhat disappointed with this. After getting it and reading the instructions you find out that you really need an additional unit called a charge controller in order to make sure you don’t overcharge the battery. If this is left unattended on a battery it can overcharge it and destroy the battery. So with this by itself you have to keep an eye on the battery and it’s state of charge so you can disconnect it in time.
They should state the need for a separate charge controller in their advertisement, or include one as a bundle, or better yet have one embedded in the unit.

I can’t really fault this company for me not fully reading the listing, but if you’re reading this, note that it doesn’t come with a charge controller, which is something you’ll definitely want if you plan to leave a stored vehicle attached to this trickle charger. The recommended one from Schumacher costs about $23 at the time of this review. I haven’t bought that yet so I can’t really comment on how the charger works but I can say that everything about it feels like high quality. The solar panel folds nicely into a small size and everything seems well designed and constructed. I have no doubts this will keep my battery charged when I travel.

I already own 2 battery chargers from Schumacher, and I’m quite happy with them. But I almost passed on this solar trickle charger, because I have no need to charge a motorcycle or car battery this way. But then I noticed it has a USB port. I decided to order this charger to use for charging my phone and other USB devices when I’m camping, at a park, or even when my power goes out at home. I have already used it to charge my phone a few times while I was sitting on my back porch, and it works quite well. Also, when you fold it up, it takes up very little room. So it’s easy to throw this solar charger in a backpack to take with you. I’ll update this review later if I ever use it to charge motorcycle and/or car batteries. But I’m quite happy with it as just a phone charger.
