 I had to purchase extra cables December 12, 2005

I would have given this item 5 stars if it had included a selection of connectors for charging different types of electronics. Unless your cellphone/camera etc comes with a usb charging cable you will probably have to purchase extra cables. It only comes with a single type of connector (I think for Nokia phones) for charging. If you need usb charger cables look at the ziplinq (or zip-linq) usb accessories here on Amazon.
05/01 Review Update - Rating reduced * (1 star)
I cannot get this solar charger to charge batteries. I have attempted to contact Brunton customer support but they have been unresponsive. I can no longer recommend this product. Sorry.
If all else fails, read directions July 23, 2006

The first time I tried to charge batteries with the Solarport, I got no results. Then I read the directions: the interchangeable tip has to be turned so that the plus sign is on the same side as the word "Tip" (in the U.S., that is; it's the opposite in Europe). If the polarity is wrong, the unit can't charge your stuff. I suspect those who could not get the unit to work might have had the tip oriented the wrong way. I'm just getting started with my Solarport, but the person who recommended it to me swears by his, has been using it for some time, and bought a second to daisy chain with the first.
 Excellent device though you may have to buy adapters January 14, 2006

This device produces enough power to run my Sony Shortwave radio. I already had the necessary plug adapter for it, so no big deal. These plugs can be bought at any Radio Shack.
I also like the built in car lighter port that will accomodate my cell phone and PDA charger.
If you had this sitting on the back dash of a car for a long trip , the kids could use it to power their portable video games or CD/MP3 players. (As long as there is sunlight)
Great device for emergencies or on the go. Free power!
Well worth the money.
Battery Charger Works like a Charm in an Emergency January 4, 2007
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
We bought this to be part of our home emergency kit and it worked like a charm. We had a major December storm that knocked out our power for 4 days and we lost our land phone line service too. The Solarport worked in cloudy, overcast conditions and kept both our standard cell phone and our Palm Treo charged so we were able to stay in touch with the world via cell phone & email.
Great product - sturdy, lightweight, reliable August 25, 2006

I used this on a backpacking trip in the Rocky Mountains. It performed very well. The BattJack (AA/AAA) charger is really handy and works well too. One item of note is to make sure you try charging using 6V first as this mode works best for most devices. Also, be careful of the polarity on the adapters. Read the instructions BEFORE using the unit. The only things I might recommend to Brunton is to add a cover for the side connector panel to help keep dirt and moisture out when using outdoors and to include a couple other adapters because most of my electronics DO NOT use the 3.5mm or 5.5 mm adapters that come with the unit. I understand from another review that you can purchase more adapters at Radio Shack, but have not confirmed this as yet. [...] The adapter shortage is the only reason I gave this unit 4 stars....
