SoloForce is a solar power bank, meaning that you can easily charge it by just placing it in the sun. You can even charge it while it’s charging your device! This means that even if you don’t have access to a power socket for days, you could still power-up your devices. You might think that solar power makes this device weaker, but that’s not true – SoloForce has a 20 000 mAh Lithium-ion battery which will last you for at least 7 full smartphone charges. But phones are not the only devices it can charge – laptops, tablets, and even desktop computers are compatible with it, and you can charge up to 4 different devices at the same time! It’s easy to carry everywhere, whether you just need a little extra power on your way to meet friends, or if you’re exploring the wilderness for days. SoloForce is also powerful, 786-lumens LED light, with three available modes – still, SOS, and strobe. The light will last you up to 70 hours, so it’s perfect for emergencies, walking in the dark, or during power outages. Simply plug in your device, or if it’s Qi-compatible, then just place it on SoloForce, and it will charge. It’s that easy!


This is a solar powered battery that can supposedly allow you to keep your phone charged for up to 7 days.

It also charges ipads, PCs and laptops.

SoloForce


If it does work as advertised, is there a chance it could mess up the battery in your phone?

IDK, that's why I am asking. I want to know if it has an impact on the life of the cell phone battery. Right now my battery is at 81% max capacity. Which means, the most it can fully charge is 81% of the battery.

Batteries become less effective as they age. A fully charged battery that is... IDK.. 7 years old, isn't going to last as long as a brand new fully charged battery. There are things that can have an impact on a battery and decrease the life of the battery.

I am asking if this would impact the capacity of the battery.

Its no different than any other portable power bank that you can buy for $20, except you can charge with solar power

It shouldn't. It's just a powerbank. We use one when we go to Disney and when we go fishing. Never had a problem with it.

I dont know the brand name, but my brother used one two or three years ago when he was thru hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. It worked fine for him, powering a cell phone and one of those emergency locator beacons.

I've got basically the same thing, different brand (mine's ZeroLemon). The solar recharging works, but slowly. So it needs direct sunlight for long periods, which is harder to achieve than it sounds.

Every time you charge it diminishes a little..I've carried a power bank in my hunting bag for years. The solar charged ones take FOREVER to charge.. After going thru 5 or 6 I paid about $50 bucks for a 1mm mah that works great.

If so, I’ll happily buy it for you so you can’t post anymore.
