Does not perform

Bought this to be able to charge my iPad while flying as well as have extra juice while camping. Barely a week in the USB c ports just stopped. They flash and blink and do nothing no matter what cable or device I hook it up to. No reason something this expensive should be doing this. The included cable isn't anything special either, and it doesn't come with its own charging block. Luckily I had one from my yeti 400.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great EDC solar battery!

I loved the Gen2 and really enjoy the improvements on the Gen3.
Great to see the solar input moved to the back! Small change big convenience impact (now the sleeve needs an update though). Happy to see a 100W USB-C now and 10W more solar input.

My typical use case is working off-grid with a laptop, mobile phone plus some gadgets. I usually attach a 60W super compact solar panel (e.g. SolarFairy fits into any backpack). This combo had shading issues on the Gen2 but those are gone with the Gen3 100AC. After a day outdoors, the 100AC is fully charged and the laptop too, so I am good to work late or watch some movie.
The display could be brighter, or it is just my model that has this issue on a sunny day outside.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for travel

I use the Sherpa 100AC on business flights. It's the best! I can charge my phone, laptop, and headphones all at the same time. The wireless charging is so convenient you can leave it on your tray table and charge phones when flying no need for a mess of cables.

Excellent power bank

I bought this about a month ago and love it. How it charges and where you can charge it is cool. In fact it has helped me lower my power bill where I live. Keep doing your good work GOALZERO. You have a life long user.

It works, but "too little, too late" update

I came from the previous model of Sherpa 100AC because I liked it a lot, had great build quality, and great features when it was released (despite being spendy, you get what you pay for, at least you hope so...). But in 2022 (almost 2023), to have a power bank at this price point and size (read: ultra premium, not compact) that only charges at 60W and doesn't support 140W PD 3.1 simply doesn't make sense to me.
It would get 5 stars 3 years ago, no doubt, but this is just a few slight tweaks on the older model, and the software is still really weird: it randomly stops charging and you have to unplug it and plug it back in, which is really frustrating, b/c you come to an uncharged or partially charged powerbank after it being plugged in forever (again, if it charged at 140W like the new Anker 24K....no problem, but it charges VERY slowly).
Two stars b/c the build quality is great and it does technically work, but don't waste your money unless you want a well built paper weight, because with PD 3.1 140W laptops common these days and how long it takes to charge at 60W, you are basically going to be using as a paperweight (charging phones/iPads? You don't need something this big with an AC inverter)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
