    Yeah, I’m casually eyeing up those new folding solar panels which have an USB-C output directly on them. I’m fortunate to live in places with good stable electricity, but it would be nice to have an extra backup.

      So the solar panel I have doens’t have an on board battery, just straight to usb. It makes it lighter and less bulky so I don’t mind.

      I personally think most phones would be okay but I’ve read in a few places that some devices don’t play nice with the variations in electricity from the solar panel.

      So the battery brick is the middleman.
