On safari by Debra Selinger (Atlanta)  5 Stars
October 20, 2009
WE were going on safari and didn't quite know what to expect as far as available electricity. While the rest of the area was dark, we always had power. Even in the Land Rover, I was recharging everyones equipment. No need for converters that didn't work, I just used my SolarRoll and the Brunton Solo.
Children in the Mara and other places in the world travel great distances to get to school, using the Brunton and a solar panel would allow them to attend classes online. It's safer and more fun too.
Back home, we work with horses and people. It's easier to show someone what they are doing rather than explain it. That's when the computer's 5 hour batter is only giving 15 minutes of power. Now that we are back I shall use the Brunton with my computer.

Great product by B. Jasper (TX) 5 Stars
August 22, 2009
I find it funny there are two of the same negative reviews spread across three Brunton SOLO products. It makes me question the validity of their claims. I have the SOLO 3.4 and I've never had any issues with it at all. It's about the size of a pack of cigarettes and it can easily be charged off of a USB port. It has enough capacity to charge my iPhone 3GS at least twice before I have to charge it again. It's a great little device that's always in my backpack or close by when I'm on the move.

Nice size, but weak output by Mac McAuley (Alpha Centauri)  2 Stars
September 24, 2008
Initially, I loved the compact size of these Lithium-Polymer batteries, so I bought two! Unfortunately, however, I soon realized that the output of these storage cells was just too weak to charge my high-energy toys, such as my iPod touch (16GB and 32GB), my 80GB iPod video, my Samsung Instinct, and three different HP iPaq PDA's. It does appear to have enough power to charge the iPod 3G nano, iPaq h5550, Palm Centro, Creative Zen Vision: M, and a few other small devices. All things considered, I would have to recommend looking elsewhere for your backup power source.

Works, sometimes by C. Jesinkey (Brooklyn, ny) 2 Stars
August 17, 2008
I have had 3 of these. When it is working it is very effective. The first one I had arrived in non-working order. It would not charge properly (the red light never came on) and it only recharged things until it's initial charge ran out. So, I sent it back to brunton and they very kindly sent me another. That one is still working. I also bought another one while I was waiting for the replacement since I was running out of time before traveling. That one worked for exactly one charge-discharge cycle and has not worked since. None of the lights come on any more. I love the functionality of this product, it is a good size, I hate the fragility. 2 out of 3 bad ones is not a good average.
An update: The 3rd one died too. After a little less than 1 months usage. Get the APC Mobile Power Pack instead.

| Brunton Solar Controller Battery Charge Monitor
by Brunton
The Brunton Solar Controller Battery Charge Monitor prevents your 10-watt or larger solar panels from overcharging your 12-volt battery. Even the best solar panel in the world loses its luster when it overcharges your car battery into a steaming pool of acid and battery scuzz on the driveway. If your model of Brunton's solar panel doesn't have built-in overcharge protection, or you just want the peace of mind a battery charge monitor offers, then you'll appreciate the Solar Controller.
