goal0 guide review
By Chris
I got it quick as usaul from Amazon. I got the Luna Light and Battery pack and 7watt solar charger. It comes in a neat little package with a small pocket which will hold the battery pack and most supplied charging cords. The 12v. female cigerette socket cord and Luna light I had to sandwich inside the foldable solar case which barely would velcro close. I really haven't gotten to test the product thoroughly yet but played with it on the patio and checked to make sure everything was working right, which it seemed to be.When registering my product on their Goal0 website apparently they are recalling the battery pack with a certain ser. number so check yours if you get one. Anyway, I called cust. support and the guy is going to ship me one of the replacements and let me keep the one that came with the package ( cool ), he said use it till it breaks ( cool again ).I bought this for my Go Bag so I would be able to charge my GPS and flashlight batteries. It will charge AAA and AA Metal Hydride Batteries only ( in the battery pack ). It seems to be built pretty tough and the company says that rain and such won't hurt it. I think they did their home work when making this thing it has all the power cords you could want to charge anything.My only complaint or recommendation is to add a bigger pouch or incorperate one big enough to hold all the accesories and extra batteries together so things don't get lost.Great and usefull gadget. When you call the company the automated voicemail says " an awesome customer service agent will be with you in a minute ". In my case, they were awesome. It is such a pleasure to buy something from a company who really tries to take care of their customers the way I would and did when I had my small business. Great people and products and I'm glad I ran across them when searching for solar panels.Thanks again Goal0.Oh yeah! the battery pack has a charging light that lets you know how well it is charging by how fast the light flashes and the color of light lets you know the status of the charge. Just has a lot of well thought out usefull features. NEEDS a BIGGER pouch though.

Excellent! Must-have for the gadget-friendly outdoor person.
By Dustin Tarditi
Even though we seek the outdoors to "get away from it all" many of us cannot abandon all electronic tools and devices... be they GPSes, smart phones, music players, or the like. Personally, I have an android phone and it serves as all of the above. Keeping the battery charged can be quite a challenge in the back country or emergency situation when municipal power is not available.The Goal0 is an amazing product - rugged, not terribly heavy, and very well thought out. The 2-panel Guide10 is a great size for the backpacker or 3-day hiker. My adventurer kit came with the battery pack, which can charge a device directly, or a battery pack (AA or AAA) for charging at a later time. It charges fast enough that you can charge up a full set of AA then a set of AAA in a given day of average sunlight.With this device, a set of rechargeable AA and AAA (4 each) with a backup set, I have a setup that can keep my GPS, DroidX, Petzl headlamp, and hard-use flashlights all charged and operational for many, many years.

Total Life Saver
By HZ
This is by far the best solar panel I have had, and it totally saved my life in my last trip, since freaking camera lost all its charge for strange reasons the night before the trip started (Roraima Tepuy in Venezuela), when I saw that I had no battery i strapped the panel to my backpack and plugged the usb cable for my camera and charged the whole battery in a few hours, and did it during the whole trip a few hours a day, also charged a Mophie pack, the reason I don't give this a full 5 stars because the battery pack that comes with it it overheats some times and it wont charge well my batteries, that's why i used the mophie battery...Other than that excellent solar panel
