Goal Zero Torch 500 Rechargeable Flashlight

太陽光充電本当に出来ます。品質も良く買って正解でした。

I have it exactly a year now and it was on the windowsill to charge the battery . It doesn't charge anymore

Update: It’s now been three weeks since I’ve purchased this regrettable product. Still the only way I can charge it is by plugging it into the wall as the solar function just DOES NOT WORK!. I’ve been trying now for almost 2 weeks and It just does not want to charge via solar. The metal body on it will burn the crap out of you if you try and put it out in the sun to charge. It gets dangerously hot so be careful. I hope others that have wasted money on this have had better luck than I have had with it. Definitely a purchase I regret wasting money on. Original review: Got this for emergencies. We have been testing it out. As a torch/light, it’s great. It lasts quite awhile before it drains, more than a day. As a power bank, it’s not too bad. It can charge most devices up almost full. Didn’t fully charge my iPhone 15 Pro Max. But it got it to a good 80%. But the solar charging option, makes it pretty much worthless to us. It’s a solar charging device that you can’t put in the sun? You can’t put it anywhere where it will get direct sunlight because it just won’t work, we’ve had it in Direct sunlight and it just became unbearably hot, tried out of direct sunlight and it just doesn’t charge. We’ve tried this thing out of direct sunlight but in the light for four days now and it is not charged one tiny bit on solar. Then we moved it into direct sunlight and discovered it gets dangerously hot. When we received the power bank it was completely flat which is not a problem, took a couple of hours to charge it up via USB but that’s the only way we can charge it. It will not charge via solar no matter what we try So as a powerbank and a back up Emergency light it’s great, a bit uncomfortable to use as a torch so I would recommend honestly buy something else that you can use as a torch and a power bank because the solar charging function on this for us was Absolutely useless sadly. We had high hopes but it is nowhere near as good as other devices we’ve tried.

This is the 3rd one of these I have purchased. I am giving them as Christmas presents this year. A combination spot and area light with adjustable brightness, hangers, able to be used as a backup battery and having a built in solar charger makes this a good add to a camping kit. Too heavy for the trail but great for car camping, park camping and the cabin.

The first one we bought was over 10 years ago. Great product for emergency light! Excellent brightness, long lasting battery life. We’ve depended on it many times during power outages during storms and it’s always been dependable!
