Customer Reviews

I had to purchase extra cables
I would have given this item 5 stars if it had included a selection of connectors for charging different types of electronics. Unless your cellphone/camera etc comes with a usb charging cable you will probably have to purchase extra cables. It only comes with a single type of connector (I think for Nokia phones) for charging. If you need usb charger cables look at the ziplinq (or zip-linq) usb accessories here on Amazon.

I cannot get this solar charger to charge batteries. I have attempted to contact Brunton customer support but they have been unresponsive. I can no longer recommend this product. Sorry.

If all else fails, read directions
The first time I tried to charge batteries with the Solarport, I got no results. Then I read the directions: the interchangeable tip has to be turned so that the plus sign is on the same side as the word "Tip" (in the U.S., that is; it's the opposite in Europe). If the polarity is wrong, the unit can't charge your stuff. I suspect those who could not get the unit to work might have had the tip oriented the wrong way. I'm just getting started with my Solarport, but the person who recommended it to me swears by his, has been using it for some time, and bought a second to daisy chain with the first.

Great product - sturdy, lightweight, reliable
I used this on a backpacking trip in the Rocky Mountains. It performed very well. The BattJack (AA/AAA) charger is really handy and works well too. One item of note is to make sure you try charging using 6V first as this mode works best for most devices. Also, be careful of the polarity on the adapters. Read the instructions BEFORE using the unit. The only things I might recommend to Brunton is to add a cover for the side connector panel to help keep dirt and moisture out when using outdoors and to include a couple other adapters because most of my electronics DO NOT use the 3.5mm or 5.5 mm adapters that come with the unit. I understand from another review that you can purchase more adapters at Radio Shack, but have not confirmed this as yet. [...] The adapter shortage is the only reason I gave this unit 4 stars....
