External batteries & Powerbanks with integrated panel

Top-up recharge in the sun, ideal for maintaining the level during the day.

External batteries & Powerbanks + 10-50 W foldable panel

Hiking/bivouac: well oriented, recharges faster than a mini integrated panel.

Power station + 60-200 W panel

Basecamp, van, emergency: increased autonomy and multiple outings.

Express shopping guide

  • Understanding power (W) : The larger the panel's surface area/power (W), the faster the charge. The watts indicated are a maximum under ideal conditions (clean panel, well oriented, full sun).
  • Integrated panel = top-up : perfect for maintaining the charge, not for “quickly filling” a large battery. For real flow, choose a 10–50 W foldable panel (hiking/basecamp).
  • Orientation & Weather : Production drops if the panel is not oriented towards the sun or on overcast days; the angle and the absence of shade matter enormously.
  • Power bank capacity : choose mAh & Wh according to usage. Conversion reference: mAh × 3.7 ÷ 1000 ≈ Wh.

Day / city

Powerbank 10-20,000 mAh with integrated panel for top-up.

Hiking / bivouac

Powerbank 20-30,000 mAh + 10-30 W foldable panel . Well oriented, charges significantly faster than a mini panel.

Basecamp / van

150-500 Wh power station + 60-200 W panel to power multiple devices.

Airplane ✈ - Essential Rules

≤ 100 Wh : allowed in the cabin; 101–160 Wh : airline approval (usually 2 units max); >160 Wh : prohibited. Power banks/“spare batteries” are prohibited in the hold . Refer to FAA/IATA.

FAQ - Solar Battery

Does a solar power bank charge quickly?

Small integrated panels provide modest (top-up) output . To speed things up, opt for a 10–50 W foldable panel positioned in direct sunlight.

What panel power should I choose?

On the move: 10–30 W for phones/GPS; in camp/van: 60–200 W with larger battery or power station. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

And in cloudy weather?

The panel still produces diffused light, but more slowly than in full sunlight; the angle remains crucial. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Can I take a solar battery on a plane?

Yes, if its energy is ≤100 Wh in the cabin. Between 101–160 Wh, approval from the airline is required (often 2 units max). >160 Wh: prohibited for passengers. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Solar battery: choosing between integrated panel, foldable kit and station

Capacity & power: useful benchmarks

  • mAh ⇄ Wh:mAh × 3.7 ÷ 1000 ≈ Wh. The airplane rules are based on theWh(see below).
  • Integrated panel=appointment;foldable 20-50 W= faster recharging when hiking/bivouacking;60-200 W= basecamp/van.
  • Orientation & weather: full sun, correct angle, no shade = best yield.
  • Ports: favorUSB-C PDto speed up wired charging; wirelessQi/Qi2is convenient for the phone, but slower.

Plane ✈: express reminder


≤100 Wh: OK in the cabin.101-160 Wh: company approval (often 2 units max).>160 Wh: forbidden.
