Portable Solar Panel Battery Charger Power Bank For Cell Phone? Worth it? - AssGang - Jan 13, 2015
Ive never had one of these before, Like solar powered before. Ive had the original kind the one's you charge up and stuff etc. But I wanted to know is the solar powered better?, because it can charge off sunlight and other light sources and also by plugging it into a wall socket, etc.
Just trying to compare these two
Solar powered, Plus can be charged by wall socket etc usb power source.

Non solar powered, Regular charge by wall socket etc usb power source

EDIT: ( I was just wondering because I have the LG G3 and that bitch can kill a battery at times. Since it has such a High resolution and pixel density. )

The first one looks super sketchy, 10/10 would rather buy the second one. First one is just a gimmick.

Yeah the second one looks alot more legit and it's 12k mAh. That could charge a 5s 7 times fully and newer 5+ inch phones with 3k+ mAh batteries around 3 times fully

the second one definitely looks a lot more legitimate and I would purchase that one

its so you can charge it in case of emergencies like natural disasters power gets cut off etc....

ebay and china and everyone is notorious for false mah ratings. Highly unlikely that the mah is real. Be lucky if it's half that at that price. But meh.
And yeah solar is nice, but that particular one looks lower end tho most are on ebay.
Depends what you are looking for but some factors you should consider.
Size, Mah, Price, name of brand, etc.

I think you should get the first one. It's 30,000 mAh. That could like charge your iphone 6 like 15 times on one charge (assuming the seller isn't lying or being deceiving). The solar panel isn't going to do much though.
I have a similar one with a smaller battery and a solar panel, but the solar panel sucks. After one day of keeping it by my window, it would charge my iphone for about 30 seconds before dying off. So essentially nothing. I mean I guess if you were keeping it in direct sunlight for an extended period of time it could charge more, but yeah the solar panel isn't going to be useful in emergencies. You'd die of starvation first.

Do check the output.... If it is 2A output it will charge your phone faster...... If it is 0.7A it will take forever to fully recharge your phone.

Alright thank you for all the replies, I was just wondering because I have the LG G3 and that bitch can kill a battery at times. Since it has such a High resolution and pixel density.
