This charger is so amazing. I can completely charge my iPhone 4S twice, and recharge my Nexus 7. It's a really high quality product but not super huge.I really dig this product. I can charge my phone anywhere and hassle free. It is very easy to use. I'm loving it. Anker® 2nd Gen Astro 6000mAh (2A Output) Portable Charger External Battery Pack with PowerIQ™ Technology for iPhone 5S, 5C, 5, 4S, iPad Air, mini, Galaxy S5, S4, S3, Note 3, Galaxy Tab 3, 2, Nexus 4, 5, 7, 10, HTC One, One 2 (M8), MOTO X, G, LG Optimus, other Smartphones and Tablets (Apple 30 pin and lightning, Samsung 30-pin adapter, not included)




This has charged my cell phone numerous times. Last a long time before it needs to recharge. Worth every penny



Takes a while to charge up, but once it does you're good for several charges. A nice physical size for the amount of battery. Cargo pocket friendly, but not jeans friendly. Takes up no room in a backpack.

The best purchase I have made in a very long time! This thing charges very fast and stays charged for a while too.



Anger has the best customer service ever. Even though the product works well and has gotten me out of many jams when my phone battery started to die. I still would pick this company because of the quality of their products and the customer service.

This is a must if you are like me and have a phone that has a battery that runs out quickly



Good investment came in handy on my vacation with my wife and daughter who's phones are always dying I would recommend this to all husbands and dads.

I bought a keyboard from this company and I was happy with the quality of it. When I saw that Anker made a portable charger, I knew that I should buy one. Always great quality products and customer service. I get about 2 1/2 charges for my iPhone 4, and about 1 1/2 for my iPad. This charger is definitely worth it!



It's a great product if you're out and about without a charging place in sight. It's heavier than my phone (S4) though, but does it's job well. It's able to charge my phone proficiently, as long as i'm not using my phone while it's charging it.



Only real cons I have about this product is that it takes too long to charge itself and it scratches easily. So the black bag they give is not really a commodity more of a requirement to prevent scratches (I'll upload pictures).

It's such a great product though I bought another one.
This is by far the best and easiest to use solar chargers I have come across. its built well and looks like it will last a good few years the ports are fastened solid and it charges my samsung galaxy s4 easily even when not in direct sunlight. for the price it is a unbeatable value. I have a Goal zero solar panel pack as well and it was double the price and not even half the power output.Very impressed with this solar charger so far Anker® 14W Solar Panel Foldable Dual-port Solar Charger for 5V USB-charged Devices Including GPS Units, iPhone, iPad, Android Phones and Android Tablets.



This is a awesome item to have and in a extended power outage or a camping trip this will make a world of difference

14 watt mono-crystalline 15-18% efficient solar array provides up to 5V / 2A total output among two USB-charging ports.
Compatible with 5V USB-charged devices including, GPS units, iPhones, iPads, Android phones and Android tablets.
Hardened PET plastic faced solar panels sewn into high-wear polyester canvas for weather-resistant outdoor durability.
Folds down into a 8.5 x 11 paper-sized profile for superior portability; well-place eyeholes enable easy attachment to backpacks for use while hiking.
Package contents: Anker? 14W Foldable Dual-Port Solar Charger, instruction manual.

Wasn't sure how well this would work, but I was impressed how well it charges my phone and tablet as well as a big back up battery, even in less than full sun.

So far so good, have not had it very long (5 days) but has worked well with low light coming in window charging phone.

Very impressed with this solar charger so far. Sometimes my iPhone 5S isn't happy with it. But the solar panel isn't the problem. It charges everything I've pluged into it real fast. I plan on using this in the field on a Military exersize next week all week. We shall see how it holds up under extensive use.



This has been working great. It does have to have full sun but that is to be expected. I have charged a 12,000mah battery usb charger in one day in full sun from 30%.

The panel works very well. So far I have used it to charge my cell phone, my Fenix UC40 UE flashlight and my Anker E5 15000 mAh external battery; all have charged without issue or fuss. The solar panel is easy to understand, easy to use and is completely portable; it will fit in my motorcycle saddle bag and pickup console (albeit on a slight angle).



The only reason this unit gets 4 stars is that there were scratches on 3 of 4 panels upon delivery. The scratches do not appear to affect function and, with an 18 month warranty, can be addressed later if necessary.



***Anker Customer Support has been nothing short of outstanding to work with in resolving the issue. I contacted them via telephone and e-mail and they were friendly, helpful and timely (e-mail) in their responses. Thus, I chose to take a star away from the product, not the Seller.***
For Sale are 500 NEW, solar cells that are 3"x 6" each. PLUS 500' Tabbing, 50' Bus, 3 Flux pens. Great experience to build your own solar panel and save a lot of money. link here 500 Prime Solar Cell DIY Kit with Solar Tabbing, Bus, and Flux Pen



What an awesome Solar Cell DIY deal. When doing research on solar panels and solar cells I was surprised at the amount of difference in costs. We previously purchased a 60 watt panel from somewhere for $279. With this kit we were able to build a 60 watt panel for $60. The time spent learning and messing up the first panel was still worth it. These cells are fragile, however even a mechanic with big hands after breaking a couple has succeeded in soldering and handling them. We are still building them, set up a little production type line. We were so pleased with the first order we bought 2 more of these kits. It also sounds like we will be doing some classes now. Hopefully post some videos, however there are great videos out there already. That is how we learned. Great deal, great product, and you will be surprised at how well these create power.

These cells were not all in perfect condition, but I have built 7 good panels and have 3 more to go. I may have enough imperfect cells left over to make an 11th panel.

The cells are good quality, I'm really not good at adding the tabs. I really like the cells with the tabs attached.




For Sale are 40 NEW, solar cells that are 3"x 6" each. PLUS Tabbing, Bus, Flux and a Diode. Great experience to build your own solar panel and save a lot of money.

Iordered maybe 38 or so and received 54. I guess they know there will be some breakage in transit but the ones that are inopratable well thats just not paying attention to what your putting in the box.

We have not yet actually used the products, but they arrived in good shape and my son was pleased with the purchase.

Most of the solar cells were cracked, chipped, & broken upon delivery. I don't think it was wrapped wrong, it just took a 'beating' on route. Due to this, I haven't put any time into this project to know about it's performance. If any more packaging was applied before shipping, this might help the problem, however, I don't think that the customer should have to pay for it at the shipping end.

Great! just some of the cells have a broken corners. I am not sure if that ganna effect the output because i didn't connet the cells yet! But shipping such delicate item half the world without so much damage is really good!
i am ganna try this and order again if it work for me :)

This kit was donated to my Science class. I was very excited when I opened the box until I found there were no instructions-nothing. I contacted the company and they sent me a link to a YouTube video. That was helpful, but I was under the impression when I got the kit, it was all I needed to complete the project-it is not! So, a donated DYI Solar Panel Kit will cost my poor school district an additional $150 to $200 along with the headache of finding all the information needed to put it together.

Even without an instruction sheet,I was able to assemble the kit.
It works very well,My hats off to amazon for the savings,it would be a great help to others with an instruction sheet to explain assembly.
That was the only thing I found lacking.They work well.
