Description

This 5000mAh portable USB power bank with solar power charger is the perfect solution for on-the-go outdoor enthusiasts. Its sleek, thin and lightweight aluminum housing is available in different colors, and it will work with many makes and models of smart phones such as the Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Nokia Lumina, and other makes such as Blackberry, Motorola, LG, Sony/Ericsson, etc. It will also work with other portable electronic devices such as iPads, iPods, digital cameras, PSPs, MP3 & MP4 players, PDAs, Bluetooth headsets, etc. The ultimate in practicality and versatility because this USB power bank can be charged from the built-in solar panel or from an external power source. It’s small enough to fit in your pocket, or strap it to the outside of your pack, so the sun can charge it up while you are hiking! Its solar power charger allows it recharge any time it’s exposed to direct sunlight, so if you don’t plan on having access to an electrical outlet for a long period of time, then this is the perfect power bank for you!

The power bank has two ports: a mini-A USB input socket and a regular (type A) USB output socket. Charging of the power bank is accomplished through the built-in solar panel or through the mini-A USB input socket, and charging of your smart phone is accomplished through the regular (type A) USB output socket. It has 4 LED indicators that indicate the power bank’s state of charge, and it has a recessed power button to prevent accidental power cycling.

Operation

When the power button is pressed, the 4 LEDs will indicate the power bank’s state of charge. 1 steady lit LED indicates the power bank has a 25% charge; 2 lit LEDs indicate a 25% charge; 3 steady lit LEDs indicate a 75% charge, and 4 steady lit LEDs indicate a 100% charge. The LEDs will only remain lit for a few seconds after the power button is pressed and then they will turn off, provided an electronic device isn’t plugged into the regular (type A) USB output socket and actively charging.

When the power bank is plugged into a power source or if the sun is bright enough to charge the power bank, at least 1 of the LEDs will turn on and blink to indicate that it is charging. A blinking LED indicates that the power bank is in the process of charging to achieve that particular percent state of charge. For example, if 3 of the LEDs are steady lit, and the 4^th LED is blinking, then the power bank has a 75% charge and is in the process of charging to achieve a 100% charge. Once all 4 LEDs are steady lit, then the power bank will have a 100% charge.

It is also important to note that the power bank will charge a device that is plugged into the regular (type A) USB output socket even if the LEDs are not lit provided the power bank still has some charge. In other words, it is not necessary to push the power button in order to charge an electronic device. One of the advantages of this feature is it will charge devices that only require a small amount of charging current like a Bluetooth headset. Some power banks will automatically turn off (but not this one!) once the charging current drops down to a small value which can sometimes prevent these types of from charging. If the power button is pushed while an electronic device is charging, the LEDs will remain lit until the charging current for the device being charged has dropped down to a small value. This is done to help conserve power, and it usually occurs once the electronic device being charged has achieved a 100% state of charge (or close to 100%).

Note: Direct sunlight is required to charge the power bank, so make sure that the entire solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight. It may not charge when clouds are partially blocking the sun or if something is blocking part of the solar panel like an article of clothing, etc.
