| 130mAh ? That's ridiculously low, it's good for 10% extra battery life on your device and the 50mA generated by that little solar panel isn't going to help either. I sure do hope that it's a typo |

| Like you're going to carry a USB hub with you all the time just in case your battery is flat during an emergency Then you might be better of with the €11 battery/solar panel from Action. Tough it's better if you charge it via USB because the heat just kills the batteries inside (+60°c) and it also reduces the energy output from the solar panel. |

Only downside is the crappy built quality and the fact that when it's empty, it charges a condensator and discharges it every 1-2 seconds (which is good for ruining your battery ) | |
