And 8 years later I now have one lol and I don't know where the instructions are so searched on UA-cam and found you. So I now know how to recharge it and then charge my phone. I agree it's a great little device for travelling with as it can charge by sunlight which is so handy. So eight years in the future I say thank you.
To charge it full it took about a week in the sun. After 3 days sitting around it registered 3/5 bars. I tried to charge my phone from it and it would charge for 25 seconds then stop. This is worthless.
Hey Greg, I just got my solar charger. Mine didn't come with any instructions. I left it in a sunny window for a couple of days before I watched your video. When pressing the power button, the charger didn't turn on, so I plugged it into an outlet, pressed the power button and it showed 4 of 5 blue bars. My question is, Does the power button have to be turned on to charge the charger or should it charge without turning on? Doesn't make sense that it would have to be on to charge. Kinda defeats the purpose.
I bought it from the swap meet and it sucks. It doesn't charge my power bank when I put it on the sun and when I charge my phone, my power bank dies quickly.
Hi, thanks for your video. I have a question, does the device charging indicators go off after being completely charged or when the last light is turned on it is done??

I mostly upvoted this video because the comments contain the real story.

Thank you
Mine was a total dud. Left it in the window sill one day, out in the direct sun another. Didn't charge, no LED, no flashlight, nothing.
artbrodsky just plug it in like you plug in your phone and get the charge first from plugging it in and then it works
My two units too! 😞
If I understand the question right, yes they both charge at the same time.
I dissasempled one of that and although it states 5000mah on package, the included battery was 2000mah . Total dissapointment ...!
Thanks for the review, Greg. Did you check if solar charging and phone charging simultaneously is working, too?

Mine is bad...Do you know were to return it & get a Replacement ?
How is battery connected to solar panel
What you got to do is plug these in first like you plug in your phone to charge and then use it in the sun after that I got it to work
That works for about 4 charges. Then the battery starts petering out every time you use it!
Wow i got it for 9 dollars. It says 12000mah but i am pretty sure it is 5000mah
hello. i left mine all day long in the window and it shows the green led. but it doesn't charge
Felipe Lopetegui you need to charge iT outsider

I don't believe it has to be on. I just think they are a junk product.
Both my units do not work! :-(

Pheara Lim you have to plug it in like your plug in your phone for the first time plug in the charger and it'll work
How to connect from solar to nattery
thx bro, I have a doubt, my solar charger is the same model ES500 but... 30.000mah O.O when I buy the seller claim 5000mah oO
Mine didn't come with instructions or carabiner. Not that the carabiner was that important.
Hi, thanks for your video. I have a question, does the device charging indicators go off after being completely charged or when the last light is turned on it is done??
Ehsan Arjmandzadeh, They go off when completely out of the light.
Micro HDMI ?
