Episode 50: Nekteck 21 Watt Solar Charger

Hello and welcome to Failure to Prepare! Your source for all things paranoid! Coming to you proudly from the ghetto low budget, Failure to Prepare studios.Show more

Here is a quick review of a portable solar charger, I think I have had this thing for maybe two years? So far so good! After breaking down my Kelty 1 Person from the previous video, I decided to go ahead and break out my solar panel, and charge my two Goal Zero lamps, and my two red lens headlamps, why two of each, one for myself and one for Mrs. Failure to Prepare, redundancies folks, one is none and two is one.

Anyway, I ran this thing from around sun-up until the current time, which is about 1327 hours, during that time I charged the two Goal Zero lights and one headlamp, the last headlamp is charging as we speak. What I like about this charger, and what caused me to buy it, it will fold into a pretty compact lightweight package, or you can strap it to the back of your ruck, and charge things while on the move. So while complaining on the move, “oh crap oh crap, here come the commies!” you can charge your cell phone to help them track you, or you headlamps or whatever.

Here are some of the spec’s for the panel, which is currently listed for about $50 to $60 USD.
