You might not be able to pronounce its name properly, but the Suaoki Solar Power Bank is a tool you’d want to keep handy. Mine goes in the glove compartment of one of our cars. I mainly use it for my smartphone and portable GPS as needed.

I love solar gadgets due to their cost-effectiveness and having a power bank that can also be recharged via solar power is one to note. The built in solar panels are on one side of the Suaoki battery bank, as shown below.

When you first open the package, you will find the following contents: the Suaoki solar charger unit, a micro USB cord, a carabiner hook, and a user manual.

When it’s getting depleted, you can put more “power juice” in the battery bank by leaving it out in the sun during the day. I leave mine out in the dash panel of the car (where it can be under direct sunlight) when I need to recharge. It’s real handy when I go to work. I just leave it out and by the time I’m off my shift, there’s more power in the bank to use for my small electronic devices.

For the outdoors-type-of-guy, the Suaoki Solar Charger is a great companion to give you the power you need for your small electronic necessities. With the included carabiner and lanyard, you can practically hang this anywhere outdoors where it can get hit with direct sunlight: branches, your backpack, etc. I find this useful on a campping/hiking/backpacking trip. Just clip it to the outside of your backpack with the solar panels facing out and you’re actually re-charging the battery bank while walking. That’s convenient, isn’t it? Of course, the hook is also handy for other storage purposes.

Even if you only intend to use this for the home, you can still recharge the Suaoki power bank using the power of the sun. Leave it in an area of your window where it can get direct sunlight and you’re all set for recharging! There’s nothing else to do on your part but leave it there to be recharged and ready for the next use!

How do you know it is actually recharging? Well, that’s simple enough… When it’s recharging using the built-in solar panel, you will see blue LED lights that will turn on, letting you know that power is being harvested from the sun and stored into the bank.

How do you know how much power is still left in the bank? The blue LED lights will again tell you approximately how much power is left in the bank. Each of the 4 LED lights represent about 25% power. So if you see 3 LED lights, you have about 75% left in the Suaoki Solar Charger 10000mAh Solar Power Bank to power up your electronic devices. Simple, right? You can check how much is left anytime by pressing the power button. To prolong the battery life, I recommend that you don’t allow the bank to be depleted fully; I recharge mine when it’s at least 50% out or more.

The good thing about the Suaoki Solar Charger is that it comes with 2 USB ports, so you can practically charge 2 devices at one time. I can be charging my phone while the other port is charging my GPS unit. If my wife is with me, she can also charge her own phone at the same time. No one has to wait! There are USB ports: one output at 5V and 1A and the other output at 5V and 2.1A for bigger devices or faster recharging.

With 10,000 mAH of battery juice, this should be more than enough to power up multiple devices. The biggest one I have is a 12,000 power bank unit… and this 10,000 mAH one does just fine.

If needed, the Suaoki Solar Charger 10000mAh Solar Power Bank comes with a built-in flashlight. This works good for emergency situations, but also works well when you take this in camping trips. To activate the flashlight, just press the power button twice quickly. Pressing it the second time will put it in flashing mode. You can use that as an SOS/distress signal.

In the photo below, you will see a series of 8 LED lights to act as a flashlight as needed:

Here is just a sample of the lights in action. I turned off the lights in one of our smaller bathrooms and this is the result:
