I was looking at that too

Couldn't find any reviews online so I'm skeptical.

That's why i'm asking to, no reviews i can find online................someone must have some info .

They are 20 or 30 bucks....I'd get one anyway and if it doesn't work, it's not that much money wasted.

 

The only thing that kinda sucks is that they are only USB chargeable. So if you have something that isn't USB, like my crappy flip phone, I don't think it would work. They include a bunch of adapters but it seems pretty limited.

Most of these chargers have an internal battery that charges your cellphone or whatever. The internal battery of the charger typically takes at least 20 hours to fully charge. That's 20 hours of 11am to 5pm light, so expect the internal battery to charge in 3-4 days.

It really depends on the use you have for it.... i wouldn't do anything other then keep it in my car window and use it if i had to charge my phone on the go. If it's not charged up already it's not going to do much for you. It's basically a battery that is charged by solar power, and the battery charges the phone/device. It's not the type of charger that u can just attach to a phone and put in the window when the need arises, unless you want to wait a really long time.

just from reading reviews on various solar chargers online, most have said that the only ones that really work are the $300+ ones. anything cheaper and its an 80% chance they wont work like you want them too. theyll all hold a charge when charged via wall or USB, but the solar doesnt do anything.

Charging it via Solar isn't really very useful. It's just a gimmick. It does work to recharge my Ipod if the internal battery is charged up. My issue is that if I'm somewhere that I can plug the charger in, I just plug in my Ipod instead and bypass the middle man. I only have it because my company sell them, so perhaps a higher end one works better.
