Kept two smart phones running through 5 days at the Glastonbury Festival
20 Mar 2012
By MrColobus
I bought the Powerbee Executive prior to Glastonbury 2011 to keep two phones (HTC HD7 & Xperia X10 Mini Pro) going.
At the start of the five days I made sure it was fully charged by USB in the car on the Wednesday morning, I left it in the sun when at our tent or sitting around and then topped up our phones each night. We did turn off unnecessary data usage to conserve power but I was still impressed that this charger had sufficient capacity with top ups from the sun to keep both phones running for five days.
With subsequent useage I've found that it can recharge my HTC HD7 almost twice over from a full charge making it an excellent backup power source.
With regards to solar charging it does require outdoor sunlight for at least a day for a full charge, but this is no more than is claimed, or than I would expect. If you aim to charge from USB when you can and then keep it topped up in the sun then I think you'll be very pleased. However if you buy this with the intention of solely powering your phone from the sun then you have unrealistic expectations and will be disappointed.
Overall I believe this an excellent product.

Its hard to say if this charger is good or not, I'm kind of in the middle at the moment, on the good side it looks great being simialar in size shape and overall look to an iphone, it arrived quickily and was fully charged on arrival, i used it to charge my HTC sensation xl from flat which it did easily, i then used it to charge my wifes phone as well which it did before the charger itself then ran flat. It also come with loads of adapters for different phones and devices which is ace.
Now for the problem part, once it ran flat I decided to test how long it would take to fully re-charge from flat on solar power alone. Its been 3 weeks now and its still only 3 quarters charged and doesn't look like it will ever make it to fully charged without being plugged into the mains. You also have to bear in mind that this 3 week period covers the really hot weeks we had in the UK over march when temperatures during the day were in the 20's, in addition I put it in my kitchen window which is south facing and gets the sun all day, in other words probably the most optimal conditions you can get to charge it with solar power and it still hasnt managed a full charge. Over and above this the bulk of the charging took place on the really sunny days (you can check with the led charge indicator) on the days at the start and the end of the 3 weeks when it was cooler and over cast the device hardly picked up any charge at all. I even tried putting it outside thinking maybe my k glass windows were blocking the uv light it needs to charge but this didnt make any difference.... Read more ›

I got this as wanted something I could use when camping. It works really well charging up from sunlight. But I've found I can also charge it up before I go away for short trips from my computer. Once it's charged it's got enough charge in it to charge up my Iphone a couple of times. ( I know it says all this in the instructions but I hadn't appreciated fully what this thing can do).
THe solar charger is Iphone sized, but a bit thicker and heavier. The black leather case supplied is good quality and has a separate pocket for the cable and your preferred adaptor.
I bought the charger from Powerbee Ltd - and received it 2 days later.
So, all in all, highly recommended.

I bought this power pack for a holiday in Greece. The solar panel was a bonus really as what I was looking for was a high capacity power pack, having found that the standard ones a little too small for the needs of my HTC EVO 3D smart phone. It soon became apparent however that the solar panel was a real benefit.
I took the charger out to Greece fully charged and every night left it on the balcony so that it got sun from sunrise to when we left the apartment for the day, usually about four to five hours. My phone generally needed to be attached to the unit for the evening Facebook session, sharing photos of my day and catching up with news from home, as the battery is usually only about 20% charged by then. I generally had the phone connected to the unit for about an hour, during which time the phone was in constant use and I ended up with more power in the battery than at the start! I did recharge the power pack from the mains once, but this was only after a couple of consecutive early starts meant that it had only had a couple of hours in the early morning in the sun.
All in all, a useful piece of kit and great value. I am looking forward to using it at a couple of festivals later in the year.

I was looking at buying a solar charger for quiet a while and I noticed power bee had the best one for my price and most of all it holds quiet a lot of charge.
It looks like an iPhone 3GS which is a good thing it looks nice and holds a charge well and I use it as back up at night when I have no charge left in my phone. I normally charge it from the window and yes it does take longer to charge but that's understandable but over all worth buying :)

Solar Panel useless
Left this in the sun for a full day, no charge...Avoid at all costs as it's not worth it unless you're happy charging it via laptop/pc.
