Goal Zero Sherpa 120 with Nomad 27 folding solar panels is the perfect portable, compact off-grid power source for your portable electronics. This setup is able to recharge my camera batteries and accessories such as the iPhone and other devices I can plug into the inverter.
Three ways to charge up the power pack is truly awesome. Direct from the wall AC outlet, cigarette lighter adapter in your car and solar panels. (Cigarette lighter plug not included.)
The Guide 10 AA battery pack is also a cool compact option, but limited to charging smaller devices. I prefer the larger Sherpa Lithium Iron Phosphate rechargeable pack for its larger power output and capacity.
