The Solar power bank I believed in... But it let me down
I got this power bank of 20000mAh with a little solar pannel to enable me charge my phone with or without powersupply.
I know charging directly from sunlight would be slow but atleast, I'll still get some very useful percent.
I got it not up to 3 months, but till now I don't understand why it's not charging under the sun. Most times I keep it very high on the fence, just so that it'll be above ground level and charge but no, I'll still go pick it the way I dropped it there, hot but low.
I'm still wondering what the problem is, like, is this not suppose to charge under the sun or maybe I'm not placing it rightly.
We're not always on powersupply and that's why I decided to get this one with a little solar pannel, but I'm kinda regretting it now. It doesn't even charge my phone from 0% till 70%, let alone 100%.
But this one, this black one, would charge my phone like 5 to 7 times from 0 to the 100%. Though it doesn't have a solar panel but it's still 20000mAh.
Is it because of the size? Or the price?
Cos the difference between the prices was only 1k.
I can't seem to understand why same 20000mAh, one would last and the other not. I understand that they're of different companies, but still.
Maybe the white one I got is fake, because why on earth would it not charge under the sun.. Maybe I'm missing something.
To think that I argued with my mum, that she should forget size and that my little white power bank would last more that her black itel power bank.
I took it back to the store where I got it from and they were like, put it under the sun for a very long time if possible a whole day. And I was like, me that leaves the power bank under sun for like 2 days, when it's night I take it inside and leave it unused till the next day when I'll take it out side again for the whole day.
I'm so tired, I wouldn't even bother, if we were having enough power supply to charge it but no light.
What should I do guys?
Someone should please explain to me why it's like this.
Is this solar panel just decoration?
Is it even possible for small solar panels to truly work?
Am I missing something technical?
P.s: I'm really confused about it.
Power bank are always helpful and I would love to have one some day.... Just maybe you didn't get the right solar energy.
You sure would have one some day..
Mm... Maybe you're correct
I think its from the quality of the product. Its output is not strong enough to charge your phone. Some solar power banks can be like that.
Ohhh... Okay
I was starting to think I got a defective one or something.
Thanks for explaining better
The power bank that charges on solar energy is amazing in itself, but the problem you are talking about is that it is not charging on solar and it barely charges your phone from zero percent to 70 percent. So you need to show it to a good electrician so that he can fix whatever problem is causing it. I also want to buy a power bank like this that charges without electricity, that is, charges with sunlight and has a good backup. During the night, when there is no light, I can charge my mobile through this power bank. Tell me about its price and how much it cost you.
Yea, it's absolutely amazing.. About the electrician, I thought about it, and even took it to one, but it's not worth it. The price of repairs he called was like 80% of the actual amount I got it.
It's a SOVO powerbank 4 built in wire charging.
I got it at 22,000(nigerian currency) $15.50 USD.
