Also interested in a cheap budget version. Something that’s not crap, no need for bells and whistles, and cheap. Like convoy lights.

Anyone have recommendations? I suppose you should pm me though so I’m not cluttering up freeme’s thread.

Interested in two, especially if it’s fairly lightweight. Anker has a version that’s reasonable weight wise. I backpack quite a bit so weight is a huge consideration. That said, durability is also key which is usually on the other side of the spectrum from weight.

Spec looks good, although this FAQ question gave me pause:

@freeme

6. How long is the life span of the BW-L3?

The PET panels will gradually fade when exposed to the sun resulting in reduced output over time. If used properly, the life span of the solar panel is approximately 4 to 5 years. After this time, the panels output may be too low to provide an adequate charge.

Most solar cell manufacturers warrant a 25 year service life for things like rooftop modules. The 4 to 5 years specified by Blitzwolf seems very short in that context. Is there a reason why the service life for this portable panel is so much shorter?

I believe it’s because these portable panels are subject to more use and abuse being stuffed in a backpack, folded and unfolded numerous times and are generally put in harm’s way much more often than a rooftop panel. True, rooftop panels must contend with weather, but they aren’t being physically manipulated over and over. My thoughts anyway.

PET, polyethylene, is going to get damaged by the sun. You’re not going to see much of that on roofs.
