    I bought this for camping trips this summer and the battery will not take a charge. If you Google the issue, you will see that it is a common issue with this model. Jackery has been of no help and Best Buy will not take it back. Think twice before buying this product!

    This portable power solar generator has a great LCD screen to show you how much power is coming in and out and shows you the percentage of battery you have left. I thought it was really neat the it includes a power adapter plug in for the car!
