Was looking to buy a phone solar charger,what is a better option?
Is it powerful enough to charge an IPAD?
It's barely powerful enough to light up its own charging status LED…
240v charger is a better option.
Just remember the sine wave an el-cheapo generator puts out is not "pure" enough to power sensitive devices like TVs, computers, microwaves, power tools and other solid state appliances which need a stable, clean power.
For camping that's probably not a concern but people looking to keep them around the house for a blackout should take note.
What about lights' say fluros or tungsten? Is this likely to blow them.
If so, what light tech is more hardy, leds?
Incandescent (tungsten) are very sensitive to overvoltage. 10% overvoltage roughly halves their life, 20% overvoltage roughly 1/5th the normal life.
Compact fluorescents are also likely to be damaged by overvoltage, they are "built to a price" and usually use components with very little overvoltage tolerance.
Linear fluoros might be okay, I don't have experience in that area.
Are you telling me this is a sine?
Your comments seem to generate negative votes…
How do you fit 3 adults in 1 jacket?
Illegally in most States of Australia
except S.A. where jackets come in size 44 gallon
What do you mean? Is threesomes illegal?
Can the SOLAR CHARGER charge an IPAD???
Is the Electricity and MilliAmps enough to charge an iPad?
None of that gear is mind-blowingly cheap, in fact we've bough a few of those items cheaper when they were on special at places like Ray's. I'd steer away from the generator, I can't imagine Aldi will offer any ongoing service or support for it (thought I suppose a refund from them is always an easy route).
My experience with Aldi is that they refund relatively easily. Anyone else have a good/bad experience?
They have a policy of refunding up to 60 days after purchase date.
Cheaper inc. postage (depending on location) and more boogie…

Don't get the solar charger.
