Goal Zero 11004 Sherpa 50 Silver Portable Recharger Review

First off if you're new to solar or mobile power then the first thing you should learn is to have low expectations then multiply it by four. It is nothing resembling grid power. The first piece of good advice is to ask: what are you looking to do with it? And for how long? Also to you need to know what power is, and understand Watts, Amps, and Amp hours, etc., and including the specs on what you wish to power, or you could be burning money by trial and error.

If you are just looking for something to power a smartphone or Pad and in dry conditions then they are other External Battery Pack that will do the job cheaper and better. Where the Sherpa 50v2 shines is more versatility, more rugged and outdoor friendly. A good example is power a few smartphones, LED lighting or a Pad while camping or overnight power failure (Same devises) or just to give your laptop one charge. If you get the AC inverter (I did) then, you have more option, but note using it will use more power than if you had a DC option for the same device. If you need to do this for more than one day then you need to somehow recharge it each day. If you wish to power a CPAP, TV, and/or Coffee then this is not the device. You will need something much bigger. (Yeti 400 or Yeti 1250)
Note this configuration is only wall charging. If you would like to charge it with a car charger that option is sold separately. The same for Solar sold separately, and the AC invert sold separately.

To completely charge the unit using solar in one day (realistically charge - real world) then you need multiple (2 or more) GOAL ZERO Nomad 13 chained together or one or two GOAL ZERO Nomad 27. With the most optimum of days, I have not come close to the high end of their Approx. Charge Time using solar.
So! I give it high recommendation for the 50 Watts. The cons are overpriced and not including a car charger as an included standard accessory.

In using it, I charged two iPhone 4 (30% to 100%), one iPad 2 (35% to ~99%), and ran two 3 watt LED lights for 1+ hours on one charge of the SHERPA 50.

If the Sherpa is charged and you have the solar option, you can extend the use by (solar) charging while using it.

FYI:
Car Charger (The V2 Sherpa 50 above)
Goal Zero Extreme 12V Car Charger is the correct Charger for the V2 Sherpa 50 (8.00mm blue: Same to charge Extreme 350, 150, 400, and 1250 Yeti). "The Goal Zero Sherpa and Escape 12V Car Charger is for the old Sherpa and the Escape; it is 4.7mm cable NOT (NOT!) for The current Sherpa 50 "
