Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This product would be good for people who spend lots of time outdoors, and can't readily use a car or wall charger for their devices. Backpackers, fishermen, etc, would probably like this.Or if you want emergency power.Otherwise, you're probably better off going with something else.As the packaging states, it's "Emergency Cell Phone Power".
The product takes forever to charge - a one hour charge gives you just enough to make a 5-10 minute phone call.It takes something like 8-10 hours to get a full charge.
The biggest drawback for me is that the unit can only be charged up to 500 times.This would equate to just over a year if you used it everyday.You can't really go green with this thing, since you'd have to replace it every 12-18 months.
On the plus side, it is solar powered, and comes with lots of different tips for devices.It's also cheaper than a other brands that I've seen.
OK for emergencies, but not everyday use.Maybe the next generation product can charge faster, and have a longer battery life.

Product Description:
The PowerPort Solar Charger and Battery has been designed to harness the sun's energy, shortening the process of transforming it into electricity by using photovoltaic cells (PVs). PVs convert sunlight into electricity that can be used immediately. The process is clean, fast, noiseless, and - thanks to Lenmar - easily portable. Here's how it works. Light from the sun hits the solar cells. exciting electrons within the cell. Some of them break free, and channeled through a conductive metal strip to create an electric current. This current can either be stored in a battery or used directly in the form of electricity. The stronger the sunlight and the more rays that hit the cell, the more electricity is generated. Lenmar's PowerPort Solar is a portable Lithium-ion battery that can be recharged from any USB port or directly from the Sun. Recharge your cell phone, PDA, media player and other portable devices or gadgets ANYWHERE. The PowerPort Solar is another performance product powered by Lenmar, makers of innovative chargers, batteries and accessories for digital cameras camcorders, laptops, cellular and cordless phones iPods, iPhones, PDAs, MP3 players and other portable electronic devices.
