No good for stationary uses like a shack, charge capability way too low, it's virtue was supposed to be small size.
Then there's the misleading specs, "Solar Panel: Peak photocell power: 5.5V/80mA" would mean that 1350mAH battery pack takes over 17 continuous hours of peak/strong sun, or about 2.5+ days total with average daytime sun.
Too weak, I'll gladly take $20 worth of spare batteries along instead, and a much larger solar cell if they really need recharged.

This thing is a piece of junk. I sent it back to BC within two days for a refund. Don't waste your time.
