idea
This gadget could make you feel like you are contributing to the world. Why? Because you could be charging your devices using the energy of the sun and nothing else! Even if it were to go from electricity to solar energy at a very small level, it is still a step to save our earth. Sounds like a great idea, but let’s get into the product in more detail.
Technical details
First of all, it obviously receives power directly from the sun, the solar panel is 4.5 volts and 0.4 watts. You can expect this device to recharge a 2000mAh lithium-ion battery. That means it can charge the latest phones and devices. The GreenLighting solar charging battery has a suction cup that will allow you to use it on windows. Depending on the provider, it will charge your phone up to 40%. It’s supposed to do it in 4 hours. If you have a cloudy day, you can charge it via USB and save it for later. On this gadget you will see 4 blue lights on the back that indicate how much power the internal battery has. The green light will show whether this GreenLighting solar charging battery is charging or not. Dimensions are 4.5″ x 1.5″.
Reviews
Most of the reviews I’ve read are from Amazon. Most of the reviews are good about this product. I have learned that this appliance has 2 most common problems.
- The suction cup does not work properly
- The loading speed is slow
Note that in dry air the suction cups do not work as well. You can also prop the GreenLighting Solar Charging Battery on something because the device itself might be heavy for the suction cup.
The loading speed depends entirely on the type of window. We are at this point of technological advancement where windows can significantly reduce the power of sunlight. So if you want to put this charger behind your new windshield or windows, be aware that it will make a world of difference. If it’s sunny, it’s best to keep the windows open; if it’s too cold, consider the difference it will make. Other reviews are not specific or subjective, so I won’t mention them.
conclusion
If you really love the idea of a green earth or if you live in a place where the sun shines all the time, I would recommend the GreenLighting solar charging battery. The reviews are not as good as we would all like, but they should be higher in my opinion. Some of those people probably didn’t think about solar panels behind their windows. The only technical problem is the suction cup but it can be overcome very easily.
