Frequently Asked Questions:

Can the Power-Boost 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 Power-Boost 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 Power-Boost. 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 Power-Boost.

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

How fast will the Power-Boost recharge my smartphone?

Generally, the Power-Boost 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 Power-Boost 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 Power-Boost charge?

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

More and more devices are becoming USB-powered, increasing the range of what the Power-Boost can charge.
