I was waiting for the review before ordering, and the coupon code expired on me too.

I have hard time to test the full potential of this panel. Weather is forever cloudy whenever i have free time to play with it.

I’ve read reviews to similar panels. The closest I’ve seen is one called BigBlue. Same wattage. On one review they was able to get 2amps of charge on one port. It’s using Sunpower cells too. I’m hoping that this BlitzWolf will deliver the same performance.

Here is a video review showing that.

I think he’s able to achieve 2.1A using a load tester. I am thinking the charging circuitry for the panel will only deliver more current to a device if the device requests it.

What charge rate does your 18650 charger output? 500mA or 1000mA? Also what is the charge input /charge rate for your battery bank? 500mA? If both devices only request 500mA each then your results are pretty close for both devices to 1000mA. It won’t matter how much brighter the sun exposure is if it is charge limited.

Honestly, the big question I had about this unit was if four panels would be enough to still make it useful on cloudy days (since severe weather that knocks out your grid power and makes solar units like this useful tends to be associated with clouds and rain).

Is there any panel this small and affordable that would perform well on overcast days.

I think this is the best we will get at this price point.

In my experience on the average cloudy day you will be lucky to get 10% of what the panel is rated. More likely you will get 5%.

I have a panel rated at 50 watts. In my location I have seen it produce up to 42 watts. On the average cloudy day, I will see about 5 watts during peak hours. On heavily overcast days it produces even less.

Moral of the story, you wont get much from these small foldable panels on cloudy days.

5W in real-world changing weather is about the minimum I would want for practical use in a sustained power outage situation. Just enough to keep a phone charged for entertainment, and an 18650 charged up to get me through the night.

I think the code is now dead.

Pretty cool thing to have. I cant wait for mine to arrive. Ill be charging power packs with it and using the power packs to change mobile devices and batteries for flashlights. Im impressed it did over 3amps at 4.3volts on the video

BW-L3 managed to clock 1A per channel easily with partial clouds about to sea level height. I couldn't plug in two USB testers simultaneously as there was not enough spacing in between the ports. That was why i had to reschedule for another day where weather is more ideal.

What make/model is that 18650 charger you are using in this picture? It looks like it charges two cells?

Nitecore F2, capable of 2A charging.
