If you want to understand battery capacity in less than three minutes, we’ve found a handy video that explains everything just here. Output When used in conjunction with the Solargorilla, the two systems give you a totally portable power station that's perfect for use off-grid. The Powergorilla also features Solargorilla auto recognition, which means when connecting the Solargorilla, the Powergorilla will shut off unnecessary internal circuits to improve charging time by up to 2 hours - confirmed by the solar symbol in the LCD screen. Recycled products Recycled products contain waste materials that have been processed and made into new products. The right products save resources, energy and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill, rivers, seas and oceans. The new Powergorilla design will work with devices up to 24Volts; charging laptops to netbooks, right the way down to your smartphone or GoPro action camera. Simply select the required voltage and the handy LCD screen will indicate which setting has been chosen. Then connect your device and start charging.

Solar powerbanks Never be without power for your devices. Take your solar powerbank travelling and charge by solar power or the USB port of your computer while you are working. These eco gadgets store power for your important devices like smartphones, tablets and cameras so you always have power when you need it. Not unsurprisingly, charging is the name of the game for the powergorilla and solargorilla. As with the previously reviewed Powermonkey eXplorer, the idea is that you charge up the powergorilla, either from AC or solar sources, then take it with you to extend the battery life of your mobile gadgetry and laptop PC. PerformanceTake a look at the top 10 red flags our team found in ESG content and practical advice on how to combat these mistakes Note: solargorilla is a charging option. It is primarily designed to be used in conjunction with the powergorilla via the L53D tip and may not work with some laptops over 40 watts directly. It relies on the UV intensity of the sun. Therefore, at certain times of the year it may not be suitable for use in the Northern Hemisphere unless combined with the powergorilla. The solargorilla solar charger has been trialled successfully in the Southern Hemisphere by aid agencies, emergency services, the military and adventure travellers, where power is a crucial element of their communications strategy.

Please remember, the powergorilla is not a toy and should be treated with as much respect as you would give your laptop. You can see how much power you have left by four highly visible LED lights on the indicator. And this big battery will take around 5 hours to go from empty to full from mains electricity at home.
