I know it's been said but I really just wanted to rant about that battery pack since I own one too.
Even if you boost that as was pointed out, the capacity of its built in battery is tiny and the "solar panels" are garbage.
Have you ever actually used it? I own one. The same one no less.
It's worthless. That's only a couple watts of solar panel at absolute best, but that doesn't matter because then it overheats in strong sunlight and shuts itself down.
The earlier statement that it has 5w of panels is bunk too. My 10w monocrystalline panel is easily 3x the total area and gives me about 8w when hot.
Neat in theory. Abysmal in reality.
