Biolite Solar Panel Review

The biolite 10 is a durable well made panel that charges devices quickly and effectively.

Biolite solar panel review.

This is a unique feature that many of the other panels in this review do not have. I bought it in hopes of it working like advertised but it just isn t worth the money. To use the biolite solarpanel 5 it needs to be placed with the shadow from the sun dial in the middle of the cross hair. The built in batteries are fairly limited in capacity but are a negligible weight gain of two ounces over the solarpanel 5 which is essentially the same except no battery.

Best solar panel for for charging. A solar panel is a great choice and is actually lighter than my portable battery pack. The biolite solarpanel 5 is a cleverly designed portable solar panel that works well for its rated output. The sundial and kickstand are great features.

The panel is made using a monocrystaline cell type to convert the rays to usable power. Reviewed in the united states on august 5 2016 i bought two of these for my kids. Im so excited to use ot especially here in our tropical country. If you do buy one you have to charge it via ac power for about 12hrs before using it.

At only 80 retail the biolite solar panel 5 is also quite affordable. Was surprised how well it kept my phone charged as we were hunting in the back country. If you ve been considering adding a solar panel to your backpacking or hiking kit i d strongly recommend taking a look at the biolite solar panel 5. 3 0 out of 5 stars they work but for how long.

The best feature is the integrated sundial which has a black dot that casts a shadow. Recently purchased this solar panel for our hunting trip this year. Aligning the panel in directly perpendicular rays from the sun or light source will ensure optimal charge. And its light and sturdy.

One of biolite s best solar panel with sundial. They worked good in short simple tests of charging and recharging before passing them on. It s also extremely light and easy to carry. When you move the panel to change the angle of the panel to best match the sun the shadow moves.

Let me start by saying biolite makes some great products. It especially shines when it comes to charge interruption recovery since it has a built in 3 000mah battery which regulates the amount of charge delivered to the devices. I have just about every product they make except for the kettlepot and now this solar panel.
