World Best Portable Solar Power Generator Manufacturers For Camping

Got this for car-camping. Gave it a full workout this past trip, and it came through with flying colors. Fully recharged the equivalent of 3 iPads, 4 smartphones, and another mini-portable battery bank, and still had 20% left on the battery. The next day, I connected it to a portable solar panel, and recharged it in 6 hours, and it was ready to go again. It's powerful enough to take car-camping without being too bulky to drag around. It's compact, and easy to pack.

LOVE this. Was going dry camping in the wilderness via a slide in truck camper. Bought the cigarette lighter attachment and it kept it charged while we were driving. At night, plugged in our cell phones and barely used any power. We also had a small fan going early in the evening when it was still hot outside. Would buy this again, highly recommend it. One of these days, will buy solar panels as it can also be re-charged with those not to mention regular electricity re-charge.

We do a lot of camping, both in the summer and then late fall during hunting season. While my husband is the hunter, I often go up to camp for a week as well as an occasional weekend during the season. In addition to the dog, I have two African Grey parrots that go everywhere with me and when you get up in really high elevations late in the fall it gets really cold. Birds regulate their body heat through their feet, so for the colder months, I pull out their heated perches. The parrots are the main reason I bought this unit. I wanted to be sure that I had back up power for their perches should the heater in the travel trailer malfunction or run out of propane. This little power pack seemed to fit the bill. I did some testing with the perches plugged in and determined that I could run them 24 hours a day for about 5 days straight. Granted, they only use a small amount of wattage but having the piece of mind that I'm covered if worse came to worse was well worth the price. Took the Yeti with us camping this past weekend. While it wasn't cold, it was rather stuffy in the trailer and I was able to run a fan most of the day as well as using it simultaneously for charging electronics without having to fire up the generator. The unit charged back up quickly via the generator and seems to be good at holding a charge when not in use. This unit is great for what it is. Pay attention to the specs and know what kind of wattage you'll require before you decide to purchase so there's no false expectations. I got this unit on AMZ's deal of the day for $300. Worth every penny. I'd love to get the 1250, but it's a bit too pricey for me.

I picked this up on a daily deals offer for about the same price I would have bought a lithium ion battery pack for my CPAP machine. I was looking for a power source for my CPAP when I went drive up camping. The big difference is this unit will last for about a week, the lithium ion battery pack only goes for about 2 nights. I'm experimenting with the solar panels I currently own, but will likely invest in a better quality panel to use with this. The bottom line is this thing is exactly what I was looking for! I haven't used it for any other purposes, but any equipment that charges on USB or car 12 volt adapters can be used with it.

I have this in the armory as a small backup unit to provide power for smaller electronics, communications etc. I have tested this running device on both USB and both outlets with up to 380 watts. The limit is 300 watts total on the outlets. The unit ran just fine and even took a start up load up to 470watts for 15 seconds before shutting down. It is a stout unit, all in one nice package. Sure, someone could build something stronger, more powerful, for even less, but I have yet to see someone carry all of that around in one hand as you can with this Goal Zero. For me, it works perfect as there are many times I rather not endure the fumes and toxins from my Yamaha generator. You need to size this up to your needs, it will not run a large home fridge or similar. Get your expectations in line and your good.
