I purchased a couple of weeks ago. I just had a over 36 hour power outage in my neighborhood. I was using my cell phone to get info and updates on the power outage and storm. I used my Venture 75 to charge it and it worked as stated
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mom to use as back up power for charging her phone or flashlights if power goes out. Seems to work as expected and were very happy with the product
Big Problem with the charge remaining. I was running a small 12v DC fan using the usb C. The fan ran approximately 6 hours before the charge remaining went down to 3 lights. I thought that was excellent. 6 hrs per light... I should be able to get at least a full day. 40 minutes later, I noticed the fan had stopped. The unit went form 3 lights remaining, to 1 blinking.
I bought this charger with the accompanying solar pack in 2015 for bonnaroo. I still use this now (2024) I love it. Only rarely have I used the solar charger, mainly for longer outdoor trip. I probably use this weekly even for city life charging phones or headphones. Always get a couple charges, and easy to juice up before the next day. Big fan!
Purchased this two months ago for my wife to charge her phone and tablet at work. She loves it. It is smaller than our Sherpa 100, is easy to use and charge. It fits easily into her backpack and is light enough to carry around all day.
