Make it special

• •Pre-charge before wrapping: Top the battery off to 100% via USB first, as pocket solar panels are intended for emergency trickle replenishment rather than primary rapid charging4,5,6.
• •Bundle with a carabiner: Include a lightweight clip so they can snap it to an exterior backpack loop and catch daylight while walking7.
• •Keep cables handy: Toss in a durable multi-head USB cable (USB-C/Lightning) so it works instantly with whatever phone they carry.
