Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I admit I got pretty excited reading the very positive reviews on this product. I even went to their web site and read the instruction manual for this product. Every thing seemed really high quality with the web site, instructions and their "philosophy" on this product and their company. When I received the product I was impressed with the minimal packaging and the overall quality feel of the device. I was really excited.
I first charged the device via AC then proceeded to use it to charge up my iPhone 4. I would say it charged from empty to 100% and then ran out of juice. ...This is when the trouble began. I decided to try out the solar panel charger and left the device on my car dash for about one hour one sunny morning. The outside temperature was probably 80-85 F. When I came back after an hour, I was horrified to find that the case had warped pretty severely and the device was extremely hot (I think the battery inside was generating some heat). The top and bottom pieces are separating from the case and warped up and the front is slightly warped towards the solar panels....worst of all, NO charge on the battery. I then took it to work and left it for days near a window of my climate controlled office...no charging at all......I wish I could return this but I threw the box away so its a $70 lessons learned for me.
For something that is "designed" to be charged in the sun, they should have made the product more resilient to sunlight heat.Buyer beware.
