can this panel charge the Brookstone portable power supply? shows a "port" label Solar In http://www.amazon.com/Brookstone-Port... The port looks like a/c adaptor hole but it says Solar in. thanks

Not thru the solar port. But it comes with alligator clips and could probably connect to the red and black jumper terminals. Bryan

It doesn't it only charges by the winding option. No solar charging. I returned it and found a better product.

Only two entry points for charging: 1) pin for solar panel 2) USB to connect to computer. Ergo, the USB can be powered by computers running either 110 or 220V. There are no provisions for plugging this rechargeable into an ac outlet. Hope this helps.

The panel has a metal frame that can have holes drilled in it for mounting. It has two wires that put out DC voltage up to 18 v depending on the amount of sun light. Just connect the panel wires to a charge controller and connect the wires from the controller to a battery.

I only see a USB connection. It can also be charged by the crank or by solar. Solar is being reported as weak, but ours is in the window all day long, so we have significantly more power in ours. The battery is a CR 123A. The crank works well and it is pretty sturdy.

The panel charges the battery unit, such as a Yeti 150 or Escape 150 or other...... then you can user the battery to charge the device

This unit generates a regulated 5V at its USB port. It has no idea what type of appliance you connect to it. It is up to your appliance (cell phone or tablet) to monitor its own internal battery status, and stop charging once its internal battery is full. The solar panel on this unit works, but very slowly. It is best to fully recharge its internal battery using an AC-to-USB adapter, then rely on the solar panel only as a trickle charge.

I charge mine with the Anker 14watt solar panel. You can also charge it using a usb cord. Just connect it to a computer or any other usb port that has the ability to charge. Great battery.

I've seen some discussions where there was a regulator required for use with solar chargers in some situations. Had the same issue with my lawn tractor; no charge after 8 hours in the sun. But it works fine for other batteries... go figure. May want to ask someone at your cycle shop about how to use this. And the other responders are right, if your battery is stone dead this thing isn't gonna help you. I found a 6A Stanley charger at Lowe's for $25 to use on the lawn tractor.

I use this panel to charge a 4ah lithium iron phosphate battery w/ a charge controller to regulate voltage(14.1). I wanted an unbreakable portable panel for charging electronic devices. You could link two of these in parallel to 2 group 24 batteries but it would only be a trickle charge(&lt;20watts). I would suggest a cheap charge controller even though it's not necessary to extend your battery life. These are nice panels but for two 85ah batteries you might aim for 50-75watts.

The panel can supply 12v dc. If your device can charge off of this voltage, you would be ok. Not sure how long it takes to charge though.

No. No and No. No solar panel is designed for direct load to a cooler. Designed to trickle charge a battery for maintance only. 1.25 amp at 12 volts max output under perfect conditions.

Good Evening Raymond B. The only charger I mentioned within my review is the Greenlight Planet solar panel. The panel has on its back the following information 2.5 Wp 8.73 V (@ 1000 W/m2, 25 degrees C). I could try to hook it up to a multimeter to see what the actual figures are in full sunlight. Still, I would recommend getting in touch with Barbary Global Sourcing by phone or e-mail. They distribute the product through Amazon in the U.S.

If the powerpack has a 12V input, or you can connect directly to the battery, it should work fine. The controller that comes with the solar panel acts as a charger, and switches to a "float" mode when the battery is fully charged. You can leave it connected.

Yes... but a solar panel this small would take weeks or more to charge that battery. I use a mich larger solar panel to keep a car battery charged. I bought it at harbor freight for $40 or so. But that panel takes 3 days to charge a car battery and is about 25x larger than this one. In short solar power is not very efficient and takes a long time to do much of anything. Hope this helps.

If your Brookstone speaker requires a 5V power supply, it should work. Check the manufacturers label on the speaker itself. Brookstone sells many speakers and am not sure of the power requirements. The label on the speaker might tell you the power requirements. If you have the old power supply, see what the label tells you. Good luck.

I think they make one now that has a USB port. Mine is older model. Can't charge anything. Also if you just looking, I wouldn't get this. The solar panel takes forever to really charge. And radio or flashlight only works couple of minutes
