29 of 29 people found the following review helpful.The Boulder 15 Solar Panel is most often sold with the Escape 150 battery pack (the Coffee Maker looking battery), such as in this "kit". The advertisement above says to expect to fully charge the Escape 150 battery from empty charge in about 15 hours using the panel. When I bought the two together I charged the battery to full and then ran it down to empty. The next morning at sun up (I live in the California desert mountains . . so I'm high above the haze layer and have 100% crystal blue sky and sun) so I faced the panel directly at the sun for 11 hours solid. At the end of that time I was knocking on the door of 80% power (75%??) according to the battery charge indicator, and took the next day for another 3 hours (total of 14ish hours) to get the Escape 150 fully charged. Recommendation: if you're going to run the Escape 150 down to empty during the day/night (for laptops, etc.) then you'll need two (2) Boulder 15 solar panels (daisy-chained) to fully recharge the battery the next day. NOTE: Also, I did run the battery to empty off 3 of their LED lights (which are outstanding at 207 illumens 3-watt, "Light-a-life" as they're called). Manufacturer states to expect getting 16 hours of light (with 3 lights daisy chained). I got 17 hours 10 minutes with the Escape 150 battery.

9 of 10 people found the following review helpful.This items works as advertised. I was able to trickle charge my car battery using the optional Goal Zero 4.7 mm to female cigarette adaptor. The items looks and feels well built. I also was able to charge a 12V 8Ah AGM battery used for my small electronic devices. I look forward taking this solar panel during camping trips.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.The solar panel arrived well packaged and with no discernible damage. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the actual time to charge the goal zero 350 takes about 15 - 20% longer than advertised, and one needs to keep moving the panel every few hours to follow the sun to get the best results. This purchase was actually my second panel so I could chain it to another Boulder 15 panel to get faster charging. If you are trying to decide between the Boulder 15 and the Boulder 30 to use with the Goal Zero 350, the Boulder 30 is probably the better deal.
