A family on an extended weekend trip will likely bring multiple smartphones, tablets, speakers, laptops, electric lanterns, and more. Despite this, you still get a single 230V mains power output, a 12V car socket, two 100W USB Type-C PD ports and two 18W USB Type-A.Make sure your cords are long enough so that you're not tied within inches of the solar charger or your battery while you’re using them. In ideal, full-sun conditions a 20 or more watt solar charger with two (or more) USB ports should be able to charge multiple devices at up to 2.

Even if it were attached to the front of Frankenstein’s backpack, it would likely drag on the ground like an oddly stiff cape.When my smartphone was secured inside the included pocket and plugged in, it had no problem taking on the moisture and charging (albeit slowly) in snowy and rainy environments.
