Ah - learned something new this afternoon.

Plugged my cell phone into my Jackery panel, and zipped it into the pouch where the charging cords connect to the unit. My deck was shaded at that time of day, so I put the panel in a sunny area on my driveway.

Was surprised at how slowly the phone was charging. (2% increase in charge after 20+ minutes) Then, at the same level when I checked around 20 minutes later.

I then noticed the notification on my phone - the phone's temperature was too high, and it had blocked charging (pending returning to a more normal temperature).

Meanwhile, the sun had shifted, and now there was a decent patch of light on my deck (although more indirect - now it's after 20 to 5 pm).

But put the panel in the sunny spot, and took the phone out of the pouch and put it in a shady area next to the sun patch the panel is in. Now, seems to be starting to charge better.
