Coinciding luckily with the great blackout suffered in Spain, Carrefour offers several solar battery models, including the PowerBank Solar Klack of 30,000 mAh for 17.90 euros On the store’s website, which can be a good cheap alternative to be prepared.
The consequences of the great blackout suffered in Spain will continue to notice for days, probably months. The security of having access to electricity 24 hours a day has suffered a hard blow, and the people who were prepared for a similar event have shown that they were right to invest some time and money in it.
It is not surprising that searches for external batteries and methods to recharge our devices have triggered in the last hours. Although more and more people have an external battery to recharge the mobile, the blackout has revealed the big problem they have: sooner or later, External batteries also have to be recharged. In a situation in which it is possible to run out of light for one or several days, that is a big problem.
Therefore, one Battery with solar panels It can be the accessory we need to wear in the backpack. There are many models, some very advanced and with additional functions such as a flashlight, but they are usually quite expensive compared to a conventional external battery, and an investment that many people are not sure.
Therefore, a model like Klack can be just what we needed, because although it is very simple, it is also very cheap; With a price of less than 18 euros, it has a price similar to that of a normal external battery.

The PowerBank Solar Klack model of 30,000 mAh has an incredible capacity, as its name indicates, that it should be enough to recharge our mobile several times in a row; In addition, thanks to the presence of two exit ports, it is capable of load two devices at the same time. With a maximum 2.4a output for each port, it will not be a fast charging, but at least it should be sufficient in case of blackout.
The truly interesting of this battery, of course, is found in the Integrated Solar Panel. Instead of having to take a separate panel, as with other devices, with this all we have to do is leave the battery in the sun and recharge on its own. It also allows cable recharge, a faster process but that is only possible if we have a plug with a charger nearby.
Of course, the negative aspect of the solar load is that it is slower than a plug, and the manufacturer itself of this device seems to confess that the solar panels are not among the best; He states that the full 30,000 mAh battery charge can last “several days”, and therefore, should only be used in case of exceptional emergency such as the one that happened in Spain.
