Was purchased to power a trail cam. Camera will run on strongest power source first. Hoping this works under direct sun power, but has the battery for extended use. Unfortunately, as shown in the picture, it is either NOT 5000mAh, or the sticker is wrong. Losing a star out of the gate due to inaccuracy.
Battery voltage was very good, but I didn’t verify capacity. That’s next.

Like the title says, 4 months old and it won’t hold a charge. So disappointed.
UPDATE:
After contacting the seller, I was sent a replacement item. Kudos to the seller.
3 stars now, instead of 1. We’ll see how this one holds up.

So far I put it in a spot that gets medium sun in the morning and not so direct in the evening and it works great! I might by another just to use for other things besides my new trail camera. Highly recommend!

I bought this solar charger and the recommended camera as a gift for a friend. She has a long, wooded backyard and recently she’s had an increase in wildlife visiting her and she wanted to capture it. I’ve purchased from this brand before and I’ve been happy with my results.
The packaging is very nice. There is an instruction booklet that is simple and easy to read and understand. The solar panel is small (not much bigger than the size of a man’s hand) and comes with a mount, so this should not be hard to install and certainly is not intrusive or unsightly. My plan is to mount this with the camera on a heavy, sturdy wooden crate, this way it will be portable and more adaptable until she finds a location that suits her.
I’ll have to update after a few weeks of use but a quick test on my back deck proved everything working and performing as expected. With a decent amount of direct sunlight to maintain a charge, this should be perfect for her needs.

Have had mounted in direct sun of Texas summer heat powering a camera for 5 months and it has maintained 100% charge at all times. Great size and color mounted flat against tree to blend in with the woods.

I bought this solar panel for a game camera so that I don’t need to worry about batteries running out of power at a critical time. It has a 5,000 mAh battery attached to the back of the solar panel. 5,000 mAh is about the same as four AA batteries. It can also provide 6V or 12V power (but apparently not both at the same time).
One important item to note is that the directions recommend fully charging the battery on the solar panel using the supplied USB before installing it. I did this from my computer before taking it to the field.
I used the included mounting bracket. I have only been using it for a week now, so I cannot comment on the life of the battery, but given the success I have had with my Hawkray game camera I assume this solar panel and its battery will hold up well to the elements.
One potential improvement would be to allow the use of a strap to mount the solar panel so you don’t have to put a couple of short screws into a tree. That might affect its performance, though, since if a strap was used the panel couldn’t be easily tilted to catch the maximum amount of sunlight. I will just remember to loosen the screws a little a couple of times a year so that the mounting bracket does not interfere with the tree’s growth.

Horrible customer service when asking questions of what’s going wrong with panel. Only had panel out for 1.5 months and it’s trash. Spend a little more and get name brand.
