Nowadays even the most basic traveller relies upon some sort of charger for their devices when off the beaten track - and the BioLite SolarPanel 5+ is the perfect solution.
This 5-Watt panel uses BioLite’s Optimal Sun System to align with the sun. The design features a 3200 mAh battery for onboard storage – 30% more than the previous model, with the ability to be pre-charged enough to power one full phone charge. The inbuilt 360° kickstand enables positioning of the panel on uneven ground, or hanging from a tree, tent or table. The 5+ model uses Maximum Power Point Tracking to get the best possible charge under all conditions - attach to the back of your pack when blazing the trail throughout the day, then charge your devices at night.
For those who loves to get techy wherever your adventure takes you, BioLite's SolarPanel 5+ is your perfect point of power.

G'day Marg,
According to feedback online, the average charge time for the inbuilt battery is 4hours in optimal sun. Anything less that optimal will take longer than that, but how long will depend on conditions.
