Mini Solar Panel and Battery Charger Test

The sun is shining for free out there so why not to use it at least to charge the cell phone. I’ve searched cheep but usable solar panel for this purpose and tested it.

Specification of the solar panel from eBay for 8€:

  • Voltage: 6 v
  • Power:3.5W
  • Electric current: 580-600mA
  • output:USB 2.0
  • Net weight: about 110g
  • Size: 16.5 * 13.5 *0. 2cm
  • Application: fit for all the electronic products charging (iphones,all mobile phones, MP3 MP4 PDA and Tablets ect.)

The notice is marked:
This device can not store electricity, but only can charge your cell phones in the sun and this item must be under the strong light , otherwise the voltage is very small and many smart phones have battery protection so it can’t charge it.
