Nor does it have a blocking diode, so it could draw power from your device in low-light situations. Not surprisingly, the Lixada is lacking in a lot of features. Starting with weight: At 3.56oz, the 10W Lixada solar charger gives you the most power per weight of any of the backpacking solar chargers reviewed here. Part of the reason is because the Lixada solar panels are stupidly cheap and amazingly lightweight. Lixada doesn’t have the name recognition as brands like Anker or Goal Zero, but they are starting to develop a huge fan base with ultralight backpackers.

The charging ports are locating inside a canvas pouch, which means the solar charger is (mostly) water resistant. At 2.4A per port, it’s fairly fast – though note you’ll only get a max of 3A when charging two devices at once. It’s easy to use on the trail because there are elastic loops for attaching the solar charger to your pack and a pocket for holding your devices. The solar charger is very reliable, durable, and is lightweight for its wattage.
