The foldable, portable lightweight emergency panel is compatible with many iOS and Android devices, and it comes with four caribiners for easy carrying. It also has a 28W small solar panel charger (5V) with USB-A and USB-C charging ports. Each port has a maximum 5V/3A output.
The panel is also iP65 waterproof, and the USB port is protected by a zipped pocket. The panel’s compact size (12.3-inches by 6.85-inches by 1.4 inch folded) and 31 ounce weight makes it easy to carry.
One reviewer writes on Walmart’s website: “It folds to a decent size to fit into a hiking or large backpack, and the grommets to hang it on the back of your backpack to charge while you walk, are very nice.”

The panel is best for powering devices like phones and other small electronics (but not laptops), the description notes.
Another reviewer shares, “I love it’s durability. I’ve dropped it several times on concrete, gravel and the grass. It’s gotten dusty, damp and mud splattered. It wipes off easily leaving it looking like new and nothing has affected its performance. It works in direct and partial sunlight.”
“Good for experimenting in the survival world,” another person shares.
Walmart offers 30-day free returns.
