Welcome to the Power Film Solar R15600 rollable solar charger
unboxing. That's the entire unboxing. So, let's go ahead and let's uh walk
through some of the things that are interesting about this. So, you can charge or direct power 12vt systems such
as the things listed here. Although for my purposes, I'm mostly interested in
not necessarily military vehicles, but more along the lines of, you know, okay,
not car batteries, but like electronics and stuff. Haha. Charge wireless
electronics. So, charge the internal batteries of your laptop, satellite
phone, GPS, cell phone, PDA, internal batteries, etc. You can charge regular
batteries, including whatever else you can connect to it. So, this guy, the
600, is a 10 watt
uh solar charger operating at 6 amps.
Although you can get a 5 watt or a 20 watt version. It weighs 1
lb. Yeah. Okay. It's not that heavy.
Complete with 15 ft of wire and O-ring connectors. A 3-year warranty. Durable
construction with marine grade components. UV resistant and weatherproof. Performs well in diverse
conditions, including both hot and cloudy environments. That's kind of cool. Can roll around a 3-in diameter
and wraps around wraparound fasteners to keep rolled. So, let's have a look at
it. And we're going to try it out, of course.
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
console or your laptop or whatever else to run out of battery while you're while
you're away. Do not fold or crease. So, that's important. You roll not fold or
crease. Also, you roll with this side out. Here's the included connector which
looks somewhat complicated to be perfectly honest. Let's see how this
works here. So, 15 ft cord. So, this is
your positive and that's your negative.
And then this guy plugs right into here.
So, I was hoping it would have something more along the lines of like a a USB
connector or something like that. So, it's 12vt solar powered battery
charger. And how
pretel do I connect this to
something? Maybe there are
accessories. Well, you know what? We can just fire it up with a multimeter and
then we'll worry about that later. Give me a sec here, guys. So, I had to go get
batteries for my multimeter just to uh to film this little test for you guys
here. But you can see that even in this room where we've only got uh the window
open there, it's producing about 3
volts. So hold on, let's just Yeah, there we go. And then if we want to go
ahead and switch
to ammeter, let's see how many amps that
is. Oh, hold on. I need to go there.
Fascinating. So, let's take it outside. It's a cloudy day, but it
claims to perform in cloudy conditions. So, let's see how it does. So, here we are in the yard and
I'm rigging it up here. Aha. Now, we're getting about 9.4
volts. So, we're still not getting quite the 12vt rated output, but if you have a
look at the weather, it's actually starting to get a little bit dim uh in
the evening here. And it's a completely overcast day.
So getting about see. Yeah. So we're
getting about 11 amps out of it or milliamps, whatever that is. I can never
remember. I very very rarely use my stupid multimeter. So for anyone who
knows what that means is at the 200M setting and I forget. So there you go.
Oh, there's the problem, right? No, no, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Oh,
yeah. No, that one's good for
milliamps. So, let's hook it up to that one and let's see if we can get it right
there. This way, I'll know for sure. Sorry, guys. I
apologize. Okay, so that was milliamps
then. Cool. Okay, so 11 milliamps. What'
I get? 12 volts, 9 volts, 9 volt, something like that. Okay, my assistant
doesn't care. Um, basically, yeah, I went to the I went and I checked out
sort of what kind of accessories you have in terms of what you can hook up to it, and there are some approved
accessories, but it looks more like kind of a uh a DIY type product right now or
like a build your own solution around it type of product. Um, you you can get um
a car lighter adapter so you can use it to charge your car battery if you're
ever like totally screwed. Um, having something like this in your car might
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
you're probably going to have to make your own adapters. But if you are handy with soldering iron, it's definitely an
option. So, thank you for checking out my little unboxing and un rolling of the
