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.

• Weight: 40.8 ounces

Not only does this charger have a USB port for charging your phone, but it also has a DC port for charging larger devices like your laptop, as well as a cable for connecting it to your car battery. As such, it’s a great option for keeping in your car for emergencies. It doesn’t have a battery of its own, but its eight solar panels are capable of producing 40 watts of power.
