Comments about Brunton Solo BattPack Battery Charger:

This thing doesn't work as advertised. It has no built in lithium ion battery to hold a charge. There is no mention of it having a built in battery or how to charge it in the literature. It supposedly requires charged AA and AAA batteries to charge things through the connectors it came with. This didn't work either. The only way I found this thing to work at all was for charging AA and AAA batteries with AC power. I tried using a 6 watt solar panel to charge batteries in it and it didn't work. My impression of this product was that it could be used for backpacking with a solar panel to charge an internal lithium ion battery which would then charge AAs and AAAs later, day or night, when I needed more power. This thing not only is advertised falsely at REI, it doesn't even work for the things the literature says it works for. REI should stop carrying this product immediately, or at the very least, change the description of this product so they are not falsely advertising that it has a built in lithium ion battery. Mine's getting returned ASAP.
