        The battery is very lightweight and will not charge my phone more than %70. If that is what you want then great, I am not happy with the charge the battery holds. Does not fit my needs

          Comments about Revolve Sol-sport 5 Solar Charger Pack:

          Knew very little about this product and was skeptical about its true performance. I'm impressed to say the least. Product performed perfectly and as advertised.
          I was in the middle of nowhere on 4 day camping trip with minimal cell reception and no plug in power. This solar charger kept my iPhone and an additional phones apps up and running with plenty of juice for the duration of the trip. The battery pack performed as expected too. Full charge was reached in two hours and easily refilled my phone during the evenings.
          I'm very happy with my purchases and would recommend this purchase to anyone.

              Had high hopes for use during hunting season. Intended use was for emergency use on BlackBerry Bold for comms. No luck. BlackBerry won't charge; says connections are good but that the USB device (for power source) is not turned on and to check again. This is going back to REI tomorrow.

                Comments about Revolve Sol-sport 5 Solar Charger Pack:

                Having just returned the GoalZero Adventure kit since it refused to recharge the iPhone, I figured I would try out this Revolve product and I am glad for it.

                The Rescue 2200 battery came fully charged out of the packing and readily began charging my iPhone without any complaints or warnings from the phone. It even is willing to power the new iPad 3rd generation although it's 2200 mAh capacity will struggle with such a large battery as the iPad (but may work in a pinch).

                The product is simple, straight forward and brilliant... Charge the Rescue 2200 device via standard or micro USB via the Solar panels, auto adaptor, or AC power(adaptor not included) and you have ample reserve power to recharge any USB electronics.

                  Comments about Revolve Sol-sport 5 Solar Charger Pack:

                  Having just returned the GoalZero adventure set, since it was unable to charge my iPhone 4 (not to mention my iPad 3rd gen).... I tried this product ans am delighted. The Rescue 2200 battery was already charged in the packaging and surprisingly light weight. A quick test on both my iPhone 4 and 3rd gen. iPad proved that the reserve battery would have no problems charging the devices I needed. The actual solar panels are a nice size and should provide adequate recharging power for the Rescue 2200 device; you can also charge the battery using the provided 12V DC (auto) adaptor provided.

                  Looking forward to hitting the trail with my new solar recharging kit and keeping my power-hungry GPS apps tracking my every move.
