For best results, we recommend pairing the solar charger with a power bank to store energy and provide a steady charge even when sunlight is intermittent.
Charging times can vary based on sunlight conditions and the size of the connected power bank. On a clear, sunny day, NESTOUT 4-panel solar chargers can typically charge:

• 15000mAh battery in ~6 hours and 15 minutes
• Standard smartphone in ~4 hours and 30 minutes
For larger batteries or in partial sunlight, charging may take longer—so we always recommend topping off your gear before heading out.
NESTOUT solar chargers are water-resistant and can handle light splashes or moisture from outdoor use. The integrated storage pouch includes waterproof zippers to help protect your devices while charging. However, the charger is not fully waterproof and should not be used in the rain or submerged in water. For optimal performance and longevity, avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
