Anyone use one of these? Great idea but looks too good to be true.
Thanks

Nope, I use a "Pocket Juice".
I can it charge in the house, overnight.
(Well, it doesn't take all night....)
Not so great on cloudy days, rather use dependable conventional power packs.

Well...you go out with it fully charged like a conventional power pak.
Except this one can recharge as you shoot...still better than nothing...especially if you are out and about.

I recently bought a solar powered battery pack which will charge USB devices. However, normally the pack itself would be charged from a USB power source since the solar charging takes too long. Solar Might be helpful when camping with no electric.
I didn't have the pack with me when I recently took my wife's car to the dealer. I was going to wait for it but they said they needed it another day. I had an iphone and an iPad with me. I called my wife and told her to come get me (50 min trip) and I waited.
Long story short, she got lost and I was almost out of battery before I called someone to pick me up and take me to her. Next time I will take the battery pack.
