I Own and Have Reviewed a Lot of USB Battery Banks.
As you can see in the video, the LiPO cells in this 8000mAh battery bank are high quality. The circuit board, soldering and components are of high quality. Even the built-in LED flashlight help to set this product above the competition.
I always recommend that people don't buy these for the solar charging capability, instead buy it for the battery bank features. There just isn't enough surface area to fit enough cells for a stand-alone charger. That being said, it does make a nice addition to the feature set. You can leave it topping up on your desk or dash to keep it ready to use. Think of the solar cell as a top-up or battery maintainer feature.
Overall design is higher than I've seen in other solar USB chargers. As you can see in the video when I take it apart, the components are all well engineered and fit nicely. Every possible place where water can get in has a sealing mechanism. Based on my testing for the video, I would call the IP rating at 65. Meaning it is dust proof and water resistant. There are just too many places where water can leak in for it to be completely waterproof. If one were so inclined, one could take it apart and silicone the places that don't seal well to give it a true IP67 rating. Basically, it can take the rain and probably a brief accidental dunk in water, but don't expect it to hold water-tight underwater.
Testing with a constant current load resistor, I got a battery capacity of over 7800 mAh when correcting for voltage loss conversion (USB mAh reading multiplied byt 1.35). This is better than I have seen with my other battery banks, so the cells are worthy. Make sure you give it a good charge when you first get it and keep it maintained (I.E. let it sit in the sun for a few days every now and then). Max output amps in any combination of the 2 USB ports was 2.3Amps. It will output as many amps as you need on either port. Don't freak out about one port being 1 amp and the other being 2. Your device will only pull as many amps as it wants (an ipnone is usually around 1amp or less). Both ports output up to the max amps. 2.3 is pretty impressive.
Test Results:
Capacity (Corrected): 7804mAh
Max Amp Output: 2.3amps
IP Rating(Very informal): IP65
I have seen some reviews freaking out about over-charging with the sun... Don't worry about it! The cell only outputs 120mA. They didn't add over-charge protection via the solar cell because 120mA is actually good for the battery to keep it maintained. The quality of the charging circuit is top notch and you are getting a well regulated volt and current output. That is what you don't get in the cheapo battery banks. It will protect itself and whatever is plugged into it.
Pros:
+ 8000 mAh!!!
+ 2.3Amp output
+ Well designed charging circuit with self protection and connected device protection
+ 2-4000mAh liPO Batteries inside
+ IP65 rating (Dust Proof, Water Resistant)
+ Solar Cell to Help Maintain the Battery
Cons:
- Well I guess it could be completely waterproof
- Maybe if it had a flux capacitor?
