PowerFilm AA Foldable Solar Charger Review

This charger does exactly what they say it does. It charges batteries using sunlight, even indirect sunlight. They must have changed their design slightly since the earlier reviews because mine came with a charge indicator to tell you when the charge is complete. It also has overcharge protection built in so you can leave batteries in the holder as long as you want.

The whole thing folds up into a package slightly larger than the 4 cell battery compartment. It weighs about as much as the batteries. With 4 x AA batteries installed it weighs about 8 ounces. It has arrangements for hanging it from a pack by lanyards, so you can charge on the go while you hike. This, combined with the light weight and small size make it an ideal source of electricity for back country backpacking.

Be aware that it only charges AA batteries. You can't plug in your laptop or your blackberry...or even AAA batteries, so plan accordingly. Mine charges AA batteries very quickly. They say that 4 hours of fairly bright sunlight will fully charge 2 AA batteries and 8 hours is supposed to charge 4 AA fully. Since I don't ever run my batteries down that low, I can't vouch for these times, but it will top off a partially drained battery in about an hour. Even on a cloudy day, it can top off 2 batteries in less than 2 hours. That is comparable to any AC charger I have ever used.

It uses a thin film photovoltaic array, so it's flexible. This is both good and bad. The thin film is much cheaper, less prone to crush damage and folds up smaller, but it's probably only good for about 5 years use, roughly 1/4 of the life span of more expensive cells. This time limit only applies to the time actually spent in the sun. The clock stops whenever it is stored in darkness, so if used only for camping or other outdoor or emergency use, it should last pretty much forever.

This is not supposed to be an outdoor solar panel to mount on your roof. It's a very tiny charger for emergency power (or camping). If you take it for what it is, this is a great product.
