Sherpa 50 & Power Pack 10
on August 14, 2013
Posted by: Aplans
from South East Wisconsin
I use the Sherpa 50 all the time. I use it in the city when I have to be away from outlets, camping, fishing, even on the bus. I use the power pack 10 in the same way, biking around the city, taking it to baseball games, ect. The only con I have about the power pack 10 is it charges at 1 amp, but my phone can only handle .5 amp while charging so I can't use it for that.

I bought this just before heading to the BSA national jamboree. It was a lifesaver for my portable electronics.

Love my Sherpa 50 Power Pack

What I love about the Sherpa Power Pack is its durability, size, and weight. It charges fast, it doesn't overheat, and I don't have to worry about charging all the time.

Excellent Man Portable power pack....

I am the Team Leader for the Raven Ridge Missile Silo Tactical Team. I purchased the Sherpa 50 to try out as a man portable power pack that could power Toughbook Laptops, recharge flashlights, digital encrypted radios and other items on the fly in the field. I also purchased the Nomad 13 folding solar pack. These small units are impressive to say the least. As long as you understand the capable use of the unit, you will be able to power certain things for quite a while. That being said, I would like to see a few changes to the unit which I will touch on in a bit. We set the units up to be wearable on either a belt hook or in our tactical vests. Using just the Sherpa without the AC inverter, we are able to run our Panasonic Toughbooks for hours on one charge. BUT there is a caveat to this.. IF your battery is not charged on the laptop fully, it will charge from the Sherpa thus draining its power. Thus you should make sure your laptop is fully charged BEFORE plugging into a sherpa to get the longest field time out of the pack. Additionally, if you use the AC inverter, power length of time drops dramatically so we also recommend NOT using the laptop AC power supply. Pull power directly from the Sherpa using the laptop adapter plugs accessory. Using the foldable solar pack does help keep it running even longer in the field and pretty much indefinitely if you are not moving. If you are not using a laptop in the field as we are, the Sherpa will power or charge flashlights, phones and more quite well and again if you carry the foldable solar array, you can pretty much maintain constant power all the time. The only CONS I can think of are that I wish it could keep its high wattage output going longer and the price. This unit is costly for such a small power pack.. More reasonable, in my opinion, were if these units came in around $129-$139 range.. I would buy a whole lot more if that were the case... but hey, not my company so not my decision! :-) Anyhow, I thoroughly recommend this product and look forward to continued use for a long time to come.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Nice unit. Charges pretty fast with wall charger and decent with the Nomad 27. USB charges an iPhone 5 and iPad 3 just fine. Slightly heavier and larger than I thought, but a nice device. It will be going most places with me.

Solid, Versatile, Dependable, Durable

I used this for 104 days straight on a 4,700 mile cycling tour across the USA. I had it strapped onto my trailer and let it charge up with the Boulder 30 while I was riding and on my off days in urban environments and at campgrounds. In my journey, Off the Grid Across America, I vowed to use solely electricity from my solar panels and Goal Zero made it happen. A few times I ran into a few days of heavy rain but I only plugged into 5 outlets the entire journey and never had to turn on a light switch. The Boulder 30 along with the Sherpa 50 kept my Macbook Air charged to keep me in touch with the outside world and give me plenty of time to blog about the trip. I couldn't have done this journey without this gear. I also used it to charge my iPhone. This is a well though out product that can charge a wide array of gear from its many ports.
