Can the Flex-10 charge my smartphone directly from solar?

Short answer: Sometimes

Long answer: It depends on the strength of the sunlight and your phone’s Minimum Charging Current, or MCC. The MCC is the lowest amount of electrical power required to start the charging process for a phone or any other USB-powered device.

Different phones and devices will have a different MCC. The higher the MCC, the sunnier it needs to be for the Flex-10 to start charging and storing power in the phone or device.

For instance, tablets and some smartphones have a very high MCC meaning that it needs to be a sunny day in direct sunlight to recharge from the Flex-10. On the other hand, most mobile power banks and battery packs have a low MCC, so even on a cloudy day or in indirect sunlight, power can be stored from the Flex-10.

Therefore, it is generally the most efficient to use a power bank as an intermediate power store between the Flex-10 and a smartphone.

How fast will the Flex-10 recharge my smartphone?

Generally, the Flex-10 will take a bit longer than charging a phone from other USB power sources. It all depends on the strength of the sunlight and the charging current of the device.

Nevertheless, storing power from the Flex-10 into a power bank means that when you are ready to charge your phone, the power bank can recharge it at the fastest, optimal rate.

Apart from my phone, what else can the Flex-10 charge?

If it charges via USB, chances are, it can be charged by the Flex-10. This includes devices such as: Bluetooth speakers; e-readers; rechargeable toys; action cameras; GPS units; and much more!
