• This thing works! It'll charge my cell anywhere from 50-100%, depending on the temperature


• Polycrystallinepanels are more effective than monocrystals. And the output of thisproduct was always very consistent. We ended up buying quite a few forour support operations. No complaints at all! I definitely recommendit for price and quality.


• I was surprised at the sturdiness of the i101 when I first got it. It seems to be well made and a great little charger for the money. The customer service department is quite helpful in getting the correct phone adapter as well. Like other reviewers have noted you do need to go through a couple of steps to condition the battery for optimal usage and then it's good to go. So far so good!


• I purchased 2 i101 portable solar chargers / betteries from Amazon. They are great. Very compact and efficient. When fully charged, they will re-charge my Envy3 and iPod classic.


• This is a great product, only missing some newer cellphone charger terminals since the ones with this charger are too old.


• I really like this battery, its so easy to use. It works fine with my cellphone and my Mp4 player. Like it a lot, just bought another one for my brother.

Overall Amazon buyers appear to be very happy with the low cost I101 solar moble charger.
