It was great on a 9 day canoe trip. We were able to recharge our cameras and mp3 players in the evening as we charged the battery pack during the day from the solar panels. Great little flash light too.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was impressed with the quality. The engineering is amazing. This is more than the common AA / AAA battery charger. This is worth the money. You get what you pay for.

I hang the solar panel in a south window of my home. I'm charging battery pack during the day, and charging Iphone4, iPod4, iPod5, 1st generation iPad at nights, also panel charges all the above fully except the 1gen iPad (which can take up to a day-2day for full charge). Great Product ! ! Thanx Goal Zero ! ! !

My wife no longer has an excuse

My wife constantly forgets to charge her IPhone, even with a car charger. My son will drain her battery to zero and hand her the phone back empty. I bought a second Guide 10 to throw into her purse while I kept one for emergencies around the house or at work.

I use this inconjunction with with the Nomad 7 soler panel for fly fishing in remote places. I love the fact that I can recharge my Phone, my GPS batteries, my Go Pro Hero camera without using my car's electrical system. I also use it to power a small USB LED light and small USB fan for use in the evening. I have two, and use one for recharging batteries with the Nomad, and one for charging the deviceis listed above.

Works well with solar
on June 15, 2013

I've been using this a couple weeks now. It's pretty great for a solar-attached battery charger. Because of that, it's able to accept any wattage that the batteries will take (which is as high as the Nomad 7 gets, 7 watts, more than the 5 watts most USB chargers will deliver). Working in serial between a solar panel and charging a mobile device, it works quite well in charging, either providing enough current the solar panel doesn't, or storing what current the attached device doesn't doesn't use. I've even been able to charge my iPad with it no problem, whether or not it's attached to the solar panel. My only beef, and this is a slight one, is that once the batteries get full, the charger doesn't seem to realize it if there's another device attached. It works fine if it's only the charger plugged into the solar panel. But if you have another device plugged into it, the batteries will get quite warm/hot once they get full. This can damage the batteries if they overcharge. The charger will blink green once they start to get at or near full charge, so if it blinks red (i.e., the batteries have less than 50% charge), it's in the clear. Again, this is only an issue when a) you have a device plugged into it while attached to the solar panel, b) the device is using less current than the solar panel provides, and c) the batteries are near full (i.e., the charger is blinking green). If the charger is blinking red, or the batteries are cool, or if there's no device plugged into it, it's all fine. The other option around this is to plug the device into the solar panel's USB port (assuming it'll accept the current, not all devices do, particularly if there isn't enough current from the panel), if that's an option. It works better than anything else I've seen (I haven't tried the Switch 8, mostly because it'll only accept up to 5 watts and I like the AA and AAA charging), so I would still recommend it with the one caveat.
