Scam Description
So I had ordered this “solar charger” and when I opened it to examine the item, it turned out to have fake solar panels. They image shows solar panels but they are just fake. Its one big plastic piece with one photo-resistor/sensor at the top, which causes the LED to light up and make it look like the sun/light is charging it when that is in fact, NOT the case. I have 10+ years experience with electronics at the component level, as does my friend who also laughed at how fake this thing is when we took it apart to prove our concert that it is a fake. Have tried asking for my money back multiple times and get no response from them via email or there on-website “contact us” form. Do yourself a favor and avoid this website all together. They’ll spam your email with all these phony deals too, its never ending with them.
