10/15/2017 Power Supply
We acquired two 20 watt portable solar panels, both being the Anker PowerPort Solar. We use these in conjunction with two 20,000mAh power banks, each being the EasyAcc Monster 20000. The EasyAcc battery packs have dual ten watt USB inputs allowing them to charge at up to 20 watts which means in full sun light the solar units will charge each battery pack at wall outlet speeds. When in good sun light and the opportunity arises I whip out one or both solar chargers and store some rays in the battery packs or, sometimes, charge a phone or two directly.
The solar units are small, light weight yet sturdy. The only issue I've encountered is overheating charging devices. The solar chargers have a small pocket for storing devices while being charged, but in the sun this pocket heats up real quick. I recommend propping up the solar panels and placing charging devices in the shadow of the panels. I have a folding laptop desk that I often use as a stand for the solar unit which allows me to better angle the panels to get the best out of the panels. |
