8 Best Solar-Powered Phone Chargers for Powering Up on the Go

Key Specs

• Dimensions: 10.12 x 8.19 x 0.94 inches
• Ports: One USB-A output, one micro-USB input
• Weight: 13.8 ounces

Equipped with a kickstand that does double-duty as a hook for hanging, as well as a sundial for finding the optimum angle for positioning it, the BioLite SolarPanel 5+ works well for setting up camp and charging your batteries.

It’s equipped with its own 2,200 mAh battery, so it’s able to store power when your phone isn’t connected to it, which is good because it only outputs 5 watts, meaning it may take an overnight charge to get your phone back up to full power.
