All of us, that like to take our smartphones and tablets away while camping or hiking will eventually run into a problem of how to keep these devices charged up. Luckily BlitzWolf<\/a> has come to the rescue with a very lightweight\u00a0folding solar phone charger.<\/p>\n What is great about this solar charger compared to the many others on the market is the new upgraded solar converter. This is the brains of the unit which is hidden inside the velcro pocket. Here you will find 2 full-size USB out ports which you are able to plug in your cables to charge your phones, tablets, and cameras.<\/p>\n Upon opening the vacuum wrapped\u00a0cardboard\u00a0package I was immediately\u00a0impressed with another layer of plastic also wrapped around the solar charger. BlitzWolf really wants to make sure you will receive\u00a0your package fully waterproof and safe.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So many times I have received a package from a supplier that has been left in the rain or comes with the package damaged by water. Not today, the duel plastic wraps provide ample water protection.<\/p>\n Inside the package are<\/strong>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 4 spring loading hanging clips are made out of lightweight aluminum and are designed to clip into the metal reinforced holes in the solar panel. They are painted black to match the solar charger.<\/p>\n This enables you to hang your solar panel on your backpack, tent pole or on a tree. Your mobile phone can then be changed at up to 3amps of charge rate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I tested the Blitzwolf\u00a0solar charging station while camping with a mobile phone and a power bank charging them both at the same time. It’s even portable so I can tie it to my rucksack while going for a hike up in the natural forest.<\/p>\n With the panel clipped onto the back of my hiking backpack, I was able to get a solid 4-hour hike in before it was time to head home.<\/p>\n Occasionally when I have to go through some dense forest I would hear my mobile phone disconnect from the charger. This is because there wasn’t enough sunlight to change the phone. The safety circuit on the USB charger will provide a constant 5 volts to your device and if it can’t do this it will disconnect your power. Reconnection was automatic once adequate sunlight was restored. This is a very good feature.<\/em><\/p>\n Be sure to use proper solar charging techniques. Always change your phone or tablet undercover, or in the shade. These devices don’t like direct sunlight. They will overheat and fail. The internal lithium-ion batteries on mobile devices will fail if exposed to extreme heat. That’s why there is a pouch inside of the solar charger to change your phone out of direct light.<\/p>\n It sure can, this handy folding solar charger is perfect to top up my power banks for night time use. This way I can have power for 24 hour’s a day. Just leave a small 10,000mah power bank inside the pouch for emergency uses.<\/p>\n Like any other solar panels, the rate of charge is determined by the amount of sunlight falling onto the panel. The best angle is when the solar panel is pointed parallel or directly at the sun. But as the sun moves, if you want the fastest charge rate you must move your panel every hour or so.<\/p>\n Most phones will fully charge within 2 to 3 hours so it won’t be a big deal. Tablets, on the other hand, may take a few more hours. For larger electronic devices like a tablet, it’s best to change them under a piece of clothing like a shirt.<\/p>\n I found that this fast charge solar panel was very well made. The canvas used is thick and all the seams are stitched with quality black thread some are even double stitched. Each one of the 3 solar panel inserts had a perspex\u00a0plastic protection cover. These have a slight mat finish which helps with the\u00a021.5%-23.5% efficiency rating.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are 2 solar silicon wafers made by SunPower per fold-out section. The mini backpack solar panel is also water resistant, so even it rains while you are out hiking or camping your electronics will be safe. I like to spray the whole fabric with some silicon\u00a0waterproofing spray<\/a> to add a double layer of protection.<\/p>\n It is one of the toughest ultralight backpacking solar chargers around.<\/p>\nWhat’s in the Box<\/h2>\n
