Hi Tina,

I stand corrected. It looks pretty good on paper. I like the USB-C (aka USB 
3.1) connectors.

Test the solar charger in your backyard first if you haven?t done so. There 
are a few conversion stages to get from solar panel to charging your SL 
battery on the other side of LifePower and there will be (compounding) 
energy losses with each stage.

Regards,
Spencer
