Welcome to the Power Film Solar R15600 rollable solar charger

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:20,080
unboxing. That's the entire unboxing. So, let's go ahead and let's uh walk

3
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:26,960
through some of the things that are interesting about this. So, you can charge or direct power 12vt systems such

4
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:31,760
as the things listed here. Although for my purposes, I'm mostly interested in

5
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:35,440
not necessarily military vehicles, but more along the lines of, you know, okay,

6
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,640
not car batteries, but like electronics and stuff. Haha. Charge wireless

7
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,000
electronics. So, charge the internal batteries of your laptop, satellite

8
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:46,160
phone, GPS, cell phone, PDA, internal batteries, etc. You can charge regular

9
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:49,320
batteries, including whatever else you can connect to it. So, this guy, the

10
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:55,600
600, is a 10 watt

11
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:57,199
uh solar charger operating at 6 amps.

12
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:02,800
Although you can get a 5 watt or a 20 watt version. It weighs 1

13
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,960
lb. Yeah. Okay. It's not that heavy.

14
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,520
Complete with 15 ft of wire and O-ring connectors. A 3-year warranty. Durable

15
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:12,240
construction with marine grade components. UV resistant and weatherproof. Performs well in diverse

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:18,080
conditions, including both hot and cloudy environments. That's kind of cool. Can roll around a 3-in diameter

17
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,880
and wraps around wraparound fasteners to keep rolled. So, let's have a look at

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,680
it. And we're going to try it out, of course.

19
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:29,360
So, this is the kind of thing you might take with you on a camping trip when you don't want your uh you know your game

20
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:34,079
console or your laptop or whatever else to run out of battery while you're while

21
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,000
you're away. Do not fold or crease. So, that's important. You roll not fold or

22
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:44,320
crease. Also, you roll with this side out. Here's the included connector which

23
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:51,240
looks somewhat complicated to be perfectly honest. Let's see how this

24
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:54,240
works here. So, 15 ft cord. So, this is

25
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:57,439
your positive and that's your negative.

26
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,200
And then this guy plugs right into here.

27
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:04,240
So, I was hoping it would have something more along the lines of like a a USB

28
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:10,840
connector or something like that. So, it's 12vt solar powered battery

29
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:12,920
charger. And how

30
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:17,200
pretel do I connect this to

31
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,520
something? Maybe there are

32
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:26,400
accessories. Well, you know what? We can just fire it up with a multimeter and

33
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,720
then we'll worry about that later. Give me a sec here, guys. So, I had to go get

34
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:34,319
batteries for my multimeter just to uh to film this little test for you guys

35
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:39,360
here. But you can see that even in this room where we've only got uh the window

36
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:41,840
open there, it's producing about 3

37
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:49,560
volts. So hold on, let's just Yeah, there we go. And then if we want to go

38
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:55,560
ahead and switch

39
00:02:49,560 --> 00:03:00,920
to ammeter, let's see how many amps that

40
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,920
is. Oh, hold on. I need to go there.

41
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:09,680
Fascinating. So, let's take it outside. It's a cloudy day, but it

42
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:17,280
claims to perform in cloudy conditions. So, let's see how it does. So, here we are in the yard and

43
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:22,159
I'm rigging it up here. Aha. Now, we're getting about 9.4

44
00:03:19,959 --> 00:03:25,920
volts. So, we're still not getting quite the 12vt rated output, but if you have a

45
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:30,799
look at the weather, it's actually starting to get a little bit dim uh in

46
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:39,040
the evening here. And it's a completely overcast day.

47
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:41,840
So getting about see. Yeah. So we're

48
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:47,200
getting about 11 amps out of it or milliamps, whatever that is. I can never

49
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:51,680
remember. I very very rarely use my stupid multimeter. So for anyone who

50
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:59,519
knows what that means is at the 200M setting and I forget. So there you go.

51
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:04,959
Oh, there's the problem, right? No, no, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Oh,

52
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,959
yeah. No, that one's good for

53
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,239
milliamps. So, let's hook it up to that one and let's see if we can get it right

54
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:15,120
there. This way, I'll know for sure. Sorry, guys. I

55
00:04:16,359 --> 00:04:24,720
apologize. Okay, so that was milliamps

56
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:26,880
then. Cool. Okay, so 11 milliamps. What'

57
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:32,000
I get? 12 volts, 9 volts, 9 volt, something like that. Okay, my assistant

58
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,440
doesn't care. Um, basically, yeah, I went to the I went and I checked out

59
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:40,960
sort of what kind of accessories you have in terms of what you can hook up to it, and there are some approved

60
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:46,880
accessories, but it looks more like kind of a uh a DIY type product right now or

61
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:52,080
like a build your own solution around it type of product. Um, you you can get um

62
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,919
a car lighter adapter so you can use it to charge your car battery if you're

63
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,800
ever like totally screwed. Um, having something like this in your car might

64
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,080
not be a bad idea. As far as charging electronics goes, it's going to be a little bit trickier to get it set up cuz

65
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:07,120
you're probably going to have to make your own adapters. But if you are handy with soldering iron, it's definitely an

66
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:13,919
option. So, thank you for checking out my little unboxing and un rolling of the
