Yesterday was a perfectly sunny day here where I am. So I took advantage of the sunlight to test out several different solar chargers to charge up the same 50000mAh power bank. I thought you folks would find the results interesting. I certainly was surprised with the outcome.
One thing I had never done before when doing tests like this - which has always been a silly thing to overlook - is that I never before established how much charge the wall electric outlet in my house gives me within the same time frame that I am using to test these solar chargers. As you will see from the results, my smallest and lightest solar charger consistently performed the best and performed as well as my wall electric outlet. The larger watt solar chargers performed the least well.
The 15w solar charger is the smaller, two-panel in the picture. The 22w solar charger is in the background and contains a third panel. Obviously, smaller and more compact is better, especially if higher watt solar chargers don’t offer any advantage in performance.

WARNING: This is a brief video of two people dying. The wife thought she was taking a picture of the event, but it was actually a video.
I have been in these intimate, private circumstances many times before with my own brain.
Nothin’ is better than round, uniform tins for hauling certain things. I’m really fond of them because they stack neatly and can save quite a bit on space. I get them off Amazon in two different sizes at a low price - a small, snuff-size can, and a larger can.
The only real drawback about them is that they can get beat up fairly easily, because they’re made out of really light aluminum. But for their low cost, I reckon it’s no big deal, since they’re easy to replace.
