Powerful and versatile power bank for its size
I wanted a power bank that I could connect to a solar panel to use mainly for emergencies when the power was out for any significant amount of time. I was looking for a small unit like this one with at least 100W usb-c output AND at least one AC outlet, which would allow me to charge and power the greatest range of small electronics, from cell phones, notebooks and tablets to AC devices like electric razors, beard and hair trimmers, a small battery charger, etc. This was the only power bank I could find that satisfied those requirements. It is on the pricey side but it did give me everything I was looking for so it was worth it to me. On a single charge I can charge my Chromebook twice or charge my iPhone 14 five times which is excellent. It's well-built and looks and feels like a quality product, which it is, in no part because this is a mature product being Goal Zero's fourth-generation of this power bank. So they have increased the power of wireless charging, increased the power of the usb-c ports and I love the fact that they now angle the display to make it much easier to read from various angles compared to the last version. The full color display is great showing you watts input and output as well as time to full or time to empty depending on whether you are charging the Sherpa 100AC or charging something from it. I use it with a very nice 100W folding solar panel I found here on Amazon. It plugs right into the solar-in port on the back of the Sherpa 100AC and it's good to go. I was able to easily get the max 60W in from the panel that the Sherpa can handle and it's not even summer yet so they're both working together exactly as I had hoped. If you are looking for a small but powerful power bank you can't do much better than this versatile little 2 pound powerhouse! Read more
