Review: BioLite Solar Panel & Power Bank

When on the go, mobile power is important, especially when you can work from just about anywhere with a cell signal. Lately, the BioLite SolarPanel 10+ paired with the Charge 100 Max has become my go-to combo for multi-day outings. Having a personal power station to keep my gear charged has been a convenience I’ve long needed. The SolarPanel 10+ performs incredibly well, and when paired with the Charge 100 Max, I’m set for days, no matter where my travels take me.

What really impressed me about the setup was the battery bank. With a capacity of 100W, fast recharge times, and the addition of magnetic wireless charging, the device truly stands out. It completely charges my 15-inch laptop twice, and even provide 35 charges for AirPods. The convenience of having multiple ports, including USB-C and USB-A, adds to its versatility.

The wireless-charging feature for my phone and headphones is a luxury I didn’t realize I needed when camping—until I had it. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference, adding a level of convenience that’s hard to beat when you’re far from civilization.

Nowadays, this combo is a staple on all my trips, whether I’m deep in the woods or just charging my laptop in the pickup while waiting for an oil change. I wouldn’t hit the or road without it.

$300 for the combo; bioliteenergy.com.
