14 of 14 people found the following review helpful.I recentrly bought the 42005 recharging kit with inverter and I love it.Everything looks like it's made of good quality material. The charging time is very fast even on winter partially cloudy days.My only concern was the integrated led light that seems to not active avery time I depress the switch. I worked it a little and it's alot better now (contact oxydation I guess).
16 of 17 people found the following review helpful.I live in Florida, so there is plenty of sunshine. I bought this kit directly from Goal Zero when the new Sherpa 50 first became available (for more than $100 more might I add). I have absolutely no regrets about buying this kit. I use the Nomad 13 solar panels daily to recharge my cellphone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, and set my phone out in the morning around 8 AM with around a 65% charge on my phone. By 11:30 AM my phone is close to fully charged. The solar panel even charges on cloudy days, although I usually get only a 90-95% charge. On absolutely rainy days, I use the Sherpa battery to charge my phone. I use approximately 20% of the battery to charge it from 50 to 100%. I have used the battery to recharge a 2nd gen iPad as well as power tool batteries (using the included 12V adapter). I can charge the iPad directly from the solar panels, but it took about 3/4 of the day, rotating the panels periodically. Considering it took me only ~4 hours to fully charge the Sherpa battery, it makes more sense to recharge the iPad directly from the battery than from the solar panel. Even though the new Sherpa is about 1/2 the weight of the old one, I would not recommend using this on casual hiking trips, as it still weighs more than 1 lb. with the solar panel plus the battery plus the inverter. For me, the whole point of hiking is to get way from everything, so I only take my phone for emergencies. I leave the tablet and other electronics behind. I use it on car camping trips and around the house, and couldn't be happier.
