Solar pannels can heat up to maybe 60degrees cengrate in the sun. isn’t that bad for the lithium battery?
I think this is a great Idea. but if something is design to be left outside, it should be water proof. What if you left this outside to charge, forgot about it and it rains?
I RUN A SOLAR MARKETING FIRM, IN NIGERIA AND I AM INTERESTED IN PURCHASING SOME UNITS OF THE BRANDO SOLAR CHARGER, PLEASE GIVE ME THE NECESSARY CONTACT DETAILS OF BRANDO.
