Before I bought this product, my expectation was a solar charger that could be clipped to a backpack or left in a car under the sun and maintain enough charge to top off a cellular phone battery once every few days. My expectation was not met. The device does not charge whatsoever when left inside a car, even under direct sunlight (perhaps the windows block too much UV light). It requires several hours of direct, uninterrupted sunlight to charge completely, which means leaving it outside unattended. In an urban setting, this is not realistic.
Since buying it a couple months ago, I have left it at home and not used it since.

before you buy this product check on the charging time. In order to actually use it to solar charge you need to leave it in the direct sunlight for about 5 days!!! If you plug it in to a wall socket or computer to charge it takes about 4-5 hours.If you are planing to use it as a practical extra battery or solar charger don’t waste your money. I live in california with direct sun all the time it charges terrible!!!!

It does tale kinda long to charge it, but I got it to charge in my car easy, in the winter even. Your windows need to be clean (it won’t charge under half of my back window because of this), and your car needs to be in the direct sun, but even driving, in my boyfriend’s hatchback, we clip it to the cracked window & it charges fine.
It’s great for trips, where I know I’m going to burn out my battery on my smart phone, as an emergency back up.
