A perfect solution for charging a battery/power bank while on the move. When stationary or in camp, the Docooler charges small electronics relatively quickly. At only 2mm thick and 2.7oz, this monocrystaline, Sunpower charger will charge an iphone 6S Plus in 3-4 hours with perfect, direct sunlight.
I wonder where he's at? I fear the worst but hope for the best.
Right? I miss the outdoor gear reviews and other stuff
I was a sub of yours years back. Then I fell away. But had your Chanel. On my mind for several years. I couldn’t remember 36. So tonight I pulled up camping at toms thumb and found you again. Four years is a long time. Hope your okay and will be back in the cactus soon. Love your vids.
Hey Crawfish, that's for saying hi. I'm enjoying a rare day off work and happened to look up at the bell. All is good, still doing most of the things I always did, just have been doing the video thing. Most of it has to do with Google taking over youtube and the lack of enjoyment I do not believe it's a moral or ethical organization. I'm not sure if not posting videos is the answer but perhaps I'll fire the operation back up at some point. Thanks for reaching out, man!
@@Patriot36 We do love your vids. Be safe. Hey you guys. I talked to the man himself. 👍👍👌👌✌️✌️✌️
Booooom nice, Patriot was the first person I got hooked on in RUclips, learned a lot👍
Very very solid review buddy! The warping is similar to kydex when heated it softens then retains the last shape. Good to know the performance is not hindered. Thanks for checking output. That's definitely a marketing move to get it to rise above the rest. I think where this panel really shines is price and weight. Thanks buddy
Hey buddy! Yeah, given the size and weight, the performance is darn reasonable! Conservatively, if you were stationary in camp, you could charge 1-2 plus sized iphone's per day, depending on sunlight. Out here in AZ two full charges would be easy. Not bad for the weight of a 3000mah batt bank that never runs out as long as there's sun.
Cool video, might have to look into for car camping/emergency car kit, miss you and your nature hikes! hope to see more in the future!
Miss your work !
I bought two of them. I have the RAV Solar panel and battery bank nice but heavy. Mine are stiffer than yours, bought in 2018. Even though a double pane window on an angle it charges a Windows phone at half the wall receptacle rate. Good stuff
I have 3 of these and every one is Reliable and a Great Buy.I power up my Powerbanks while on trips and traveling.
I'm having Patriot36 withdrawal symptoms. Need some new videos to recover...:)
Great review buddy much appreciated. Greetings from Salisbury, England
Hey Patriot it’s been a long time buddy. Are you coming back to RUclips soon??
Hi Keefo. Thanks for the message. I've always really enjoyed the interaction with people like yourself, however the political climate that Google has created/promoted has made the platform a joke. Other channels have made it through advertising themselves and pushing their "brand" in other areas of social media, sponsors and Patreon. Problem is, I don't want to push a brand, promote myself or my content and I don't want my viewers to have to pay for it. I want it to be free for you. RUclips has made that nearly impossible with many of the types of videos I upload, via demonetization. I don't mind getting paid by people who are capitalizing here through advertisements, that's perfectly fine. If RUclips thinks guns and knives are bad, they demonetize your videos and they operate like crime bosses. If things change here and i don't think they will, I'll probably upload regularly. Or I'll move to Rumble or some other free, open, honest, tolerant platform. RUclips is intolerant while proclaiming tolerance and it's pathetic. If I upload videos to Rumble, I'll announce it here. Thanks Keefo and I hope you're doing well.
Thanks for the reply Patriot, glad to know your ok over there in the USA.
You got a lot of fans over her in the U.K. but completely understand your view point.
The last few years have been crying for Patriot EDC tips but you look after yourself bro👍👍👍. When/if you restart making content a lot of people will be very happy.
Merry Christmas & good luck to you👍👍👍
Hey man hope your doing good, not seen a video of yours in some time now, hope your in Good health and doing great.
1:45 Excuse me, of course, but where did you get the power 5.5W...6W??? In fact, the maximum power of this panel is about 3.75W and under conditions of a strong voltage drop (4.2V), therefore not every power bank can accept such power from this panel, much less a smartphone. I am more than sure that many power banks and smartphones, when charging from such a panel, will not be able to receive more than 2.5W of power from it...
Nice tests! Thanks for taking the time.
Awesome topic! It's still so hard to get good solar product these days,for a fair prize. Wonder why! Whit the continuous evolving demand from our daily technology(phone, earpiece, gps, intelligent watch,flashlight, Ipod etc) it's still a headache. At least those power bank help for consistency, like you said. thanks again for sharing! Keep charging my friend...
Yeah, I'm charging a phones, a watch, a couple of headlamps and VHF radios. The powerbanks make this reasonably convenient but what happens when you're away from a vehicle for a few days? I carried my 10W Goal Zero a couple of times but it weighs almost a pound. No biggie by itself but by the time I carry a pack, binoculars and a bow or rifle it starts to take a toll. With this, I can charge devices at camp with a bigger panel and use this to keep another powerbank topped off while on the move.
are you there buddy, anyone heard from him
I wondering too. I wish he is ok.
Strange that be just stop like that. I have a bad feeling
@@TheKallet me too
Great real world testing. Thanks
thanks that was really helpful, I had no idea the cheapies would be so effective xD
Consider buying an inline USB watt meter. Else your just guessing on what these panels are putting out.
Hey Patriot, shout out from here in the UK
Looking forward to some more videos buddy;-)
Hey checkin in. Hope all is well.
Solid review, how it is working after some months ?
Hey man - been a long time sub of yours since back in 2012 - inspired from the outdoor content. Hope you’re still enjoying the great outdoors.
Are you on Instagram/any other socials these days?
Very informative review cheers!
Great video, very informative. Thanks Patriot.
Thanks DC.
Hey do you recommend it to me ?
I need a solar charger to charge my 12000 mah battery during trekking.
How much time this take to charge full mobile ?
Depends. At around 750mA it would be around 16 hours
Donde andas? Todo bien? Ya no haz subido videos, REPORTATE con un video.
excellent review.
Great review, I am looking at adding small solar panels for devises rather than uping my Solar system. Many thanks
Power banks now with built in solar.
how can i contact u? sir
I'm using this solar panel with a Xtar BC4 and 4xAA Eneloop white. Perfect combo.👍
The panel you have looks different then the one you showed off Amazon. It's shaped differently. Maybe that's the discrepancy and wattage?
Hey Matt, here's the link: www.amazon.com/Docooler-Portable-Monocrystalline-Effiency-Activities/dp/B01MCXZJ8Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504407910&sr=8-1&keywords=docooler+10w+solar+panel
Check out the last picture. The panel can ship in two versions. Both panels are identical other than the slightly reduced light collection footprint in the one with the pinched middle. This has to do with the way the Sunpower brand panels are cut in the raw. Both with have output within 1% of each other. Thanks brother.
Hi, I don't wanna sound dumb, but what's the name of the black tool/device that you used to take the measurement of the temperature off the ground at 11:22? Is it a special kind of thermometer? Thanks
No prob, it's an infrared thermometer.
Patriot where are you? Are you ok?
Patriot36 this is Patriot zero. Where are you?
Come on brother.
I cut the white part for less weight
good job with an interesting product...
Thanks for that Jon. Perhaps something that could be added to your kit future!
Top video. Very informative . Brenden Australia.
Thanks Brenden! Cheers from Arizona!
Patriot how's is Swibo doing is he coming back eventually. I remember you 2 did a great video together. Let me know I appreciate it.
Good stuff. Thank you.
Thanks for stopping by Vern!
sir can this power bank charges 10000 mah power bank ??
You could almost use the back of it for a cutting board. Maybe too thin.
Good thought but just too soft and thin. You could cut it clean in half with the first pass.
It's unclear from the various photos, descriptions and videos I've seen on this... but does this include its own voltage regulator or charge controller in that little USB hump on the back?
The hump houses a small buck converter. It does its best to output 5v, but as you might expect, voltage sags if the supply can't keep up.
It works better if it stands up
your amazon link goes to a lixada panel not a docooler panel
It looks like the name has changed but same product.
very nice video thank you.
Whatever happened to truth in advertising? It looks like a decent little panel, but 10W? Come on do cooler! Nice and thorough review as always. Thanks!
I don't know DZ... My guess is that they're competing against the Kingsolar products and as we've seen for the last 20 years from an economically growing China, moral responsibility isn't even a term the culture knows. As these companies grow and become more integrated with western businesses we sometimes see a shift for the better. I've watched this over the years with many of the Chinese flashlight companies who've grown and done we'll. Others never change and they go out of business in a few years. American ethics is on the downfall too, however, so I don't claim any 'high ground' for the US. The corrosive nature of decades of liberal ideology is beginning to show its out workings.
@@Patriot36 It's not like the current "conservative" savior president isn't a lifelong chiseler and cheat.
The people bleeding you dry are happy to see you blaming liberal ideology for it, though. The good old days never were.
The specs are probably inflated, but you couldn't actually tell that without knowing the conditions under which the specifications are derived, and the actual test conditions.
Typical solar test conditions seem to be 1kW/m2 of sunlight, with the cell at 25°C.
Were those the test conditions here? Well, this video was posted in early fall and shot somewhere in the US, and at least some of the testing happened in the afternoon. The input certainly wasn't 1kW/m2 then, and the panel temperature was a lot higher than 25°C.
Off topic hey have you heard from swibo6
Haven't heard anything and I really pray that the guy is okay. He's completely of the communication grid.
Patriot36 wow that's sucks miss his videos thank for the response!
