4 Must-Have Features of any Portable Solar Charger 2015 2016
With ski and hiking season rolling around, there is no doubt that you will be looking for ways to improve your iPhone's battery while on the slopes or in the backcountry. Luckily for you, portable solar chargers have been invented, where the solar panel absorbs the sun's energy and translates it into battery for your device!
When you are looking for your next charger, you should consider these next 4 things before your purchase
1. Durability
I am a huge supporter of durable, built-to-last products. These can range from the Apple brand iPhone cables to the best Bounty paper towel.
The durability of these portable chargers are often sub-par, but as you venture into the higher-ranked portable solar chargers on Amazon, you'll see that the quality is never really an issue anymore.
In terms of durability, it could be the charger's ability to keep water and dirt out, the type of metal and plastic used in the production, the warranty offered by the company.
One very durable, dirt and water resistant portable solar charger I recently talked about was the Nektech solar panel charger, which is selling for $36.99 on Amazon, but using a coupon that is bound to be there somewhere, you'll get it for less. A pleasant surprise that comes with this model is the clip, which allows for you to hook it onto your backpack and charge your devices while hiking or skiing! Also, forgot to mention the 12 month warranty!
2. Battery Capacity
The amount of charge a certain portable solar charger carries is also important. Why would you want a charger than can charge your phone to 100% three times when you could find one that charges it to 100% five times?
Sure, you will pay a little more for a charger with a higher battery capacity, but trust me - it is worth it.
3. Number of Ports
The number of USB ports a portable charger comes with is also important. Lets say you go out for a day with your significant other, and both of your phones die when you're still in the bar. How will you be able to simultaneously get an Uber ride and call the kids to check up on them?
Also, if you are ever asked by someone to let them borrow your portable charger, you can be assured that your device will keep charging!
4. Price
Despite the fact that gas is cheap now, people find themselves short of cash. Your financials may play a role in deciding your next portable charger purchase.
Rest assured, because it just so happens that the top 3 rated portable solar chargers on Amazon happen to be very affordable!
Starting with the Anker PowerPort, it is on sale at $54.99, the priciest of the three,
Followed by Innoo Tech's Solar Power Bank at $23.99, and
NekTech's Solar Panel Charger at $36.99.
Keep in mind, it is the end of November, so the Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday deals will ensure that you find at least one coupon for a portable solar charger!
With these 4 features in mind, hopefully your holiday shopping will be a lot easier and less stressful!
