00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:14.880
Welcome to the Power Film Solar R15600 rollable solar charger

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:20.080
unboxing. That's the entire unboxing. So, let's go ahead and let's uh walk

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

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:31.760
as the things listed here. Although for my purposes, I'm mostly interested in

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:35.440
not necessarily military vehicles, but more along the lines of, you know, okay,

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:38.640
not car batteries, but like electronics and stuff. Haha. Charge wireless

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:42.000
electronics. So, charge the internal batteries of your laptop, satellite

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:46.160
phone, GPS, cell phone, PDA, internal batteries, etc. You can charge regular

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:49.320
batteries, including whatever else you can connect to it. So, this guy, the

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:55.600
600, is a 10 watt

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:57.199
uh solar charger operating at 6 amps.

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:02.800
Although you can get a 5 watt or a 20 watt version. It weighs 1

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:04.960
lb. Yeah. Okay. It's not that heavy.

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:07.520
Complete with 15 ft of wire and O-ring connectors. A 3-year warranty. Durable

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:12.240
construction with marine grade components. UV resistant and weatherproof. Performs well in diverse

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

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:20.880
and wraps around wraparound fasteners to keep rolled. So, let's have a look at

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:23.680
it. And we're going to try it out, of course.

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

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:34.079
console or your laptop or whatever else to run out of battery while you're while

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

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:44.320
crease. Also, you roll with this side out. Here's the included connector which

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:51.240
looks somewhat complicated to be perfectly honest. Let's see how this

00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:54.240
works here. So, 15 ft cord. So, this is

00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:57.439
your positive and that's your negative.

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:59.200
And then this guy plugs right into here.

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

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:10.840
connector or something like that. So, it's 12vt solar powered battery

00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:12.920
charger. And how

00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:17.200
pretel do I connect this to

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:23.520
something? Maybe there are

00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:26.400
accessories. Well, you know what? We can just fire it up with a multimeter and

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

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:34.319
batteries for my multimeter just to uh to film this little test for you guys

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

00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:41.840
open there, it's producing about 3

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

00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:55.560
ahead and switch

00:02:49.560 --> 00:03:00.920
to ammeter, let's see how many amps that

00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.920
is. Oh, hold on. I need to go there.

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:09.680
Fascinating. So, let's take it outside. It's a cloudy day, but it

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

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:22.159
I'm rigging it up here. Aha. Now, we're getting about 9.4

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

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.799
look at the weather, it's actually starting to get a little bit dim uh in

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:39.040
the evening here. And it's a completely overcast day.

00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:41.840
So getting about see. Yeah. So we're

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:47.200
getting about 11 amps out of it or milliamps, whatever that is. I can never

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:51.680
remember. I very very rarely use my stupid multimeter. So for anyone who

00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:59.519
knows what that means is at the 200M setting and I forget. So there you go.

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,

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.959
yeah. No, that one's good for

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

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:15.120
there. This way, I'll know for sure. Sorry, guys. I

00:04:16.359 --> 00:04:24.720
apologize. Okay, so that was milliamps

00:04:19.359 --> 00:04:26.880
then. Cool. Okay, so 11 milliamps. What'

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:32.000
I get? 12 volts, 9 volts, 9 volt, something like that. Okay, my assistant

00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:35.440
doesn't care. Um, basically, yeah, I went to the I went and I checked out

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

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

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

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

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:58.800
ever like totally screwed. Um, having something like this in your car might

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

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

00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:13.919
option. So, thank you for checking out my little unboxing and un rolling of the
