It is a device that combines energy storage with at least one other off-grid function: lighting, a Bluetooth speaker, vehicle jump starting, an air compressor or a battery charger. The idea is to replace two or three objects in a bag with one, at the cost of a compromise on each function taken separately.
Yes, when it has a USB output, which most portable models do. Expect modest power though, often 5 to 10 watts, and reduced usable capacity: the music takes priority. Count on roughly one smartphone charge, no more.
A 1 to 3 watt LED draws very little from the reserve: on a 20,000 mAh pack the light runs for several dozen hours continuously and uses only a few per cent of the capacity. It is the least costly hybrid function, which explains why so many outdoor models include one.
Rarely. The maker's priority goes to the main function, and the charging side often makes do with a 10 to 18 watt USB-A port without Power Delivery. If charging speed matters to you, check for a USB-C PD port and its real output, which we list on every product page.
As a backup, yes. As a main source, no: a panel the size of the casing produces 1 to 2 watts, meaning 30 to 60 hours of full sun to fill 10,000 mAh. Treat it as insurance on a long hike, and charge the pack from the mains before you leave.
