Goal Zero

Flip 36 Recharger

Won't charge

I've had this product for less than 2 years and now it won't charge.

Not working after two times use.

I bought it a year ago. Used twice and now it does not take charge.

Waste of money

Stopped charging after 5 uses, do not recommend this product.

Blinking blue light

Its faulty - one blue light blinking and doesnt take a charge.

breakable charging design

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

36

The charging design cannot reallly fit into an outlet. Horrible charging design. Next there is only USB and no C. So, why are they selling this in 2025? It is outdated.

Terrible charging design

Absolutely terrible charging design. Forget even trying to plug this thing directly to an AC adaptor. Get a USB extender, and find something that is just the right elevation so that the Flipout is exactly horizontal with the extender attached to the ac adaptor. that is the only way this thing will charge. If you even bump it slightly, it will stop charging. I wish i could just return this thing but i got it as a gift, so i just have to make it work.

Do not buy this product

My first one lasted for about 4 trips until the charging USB broke off. Just bought a second one and now on my second time out the blue light blinks but it won’t charge. The owners manual is of no use.

Durable and Long Lasting

I've put it through the wringer

I’ve had the Goal Zero Flip 36 Recharger for a few years, now. I take this charger both on international/domestic travels as well as camping and backpacking trips. This charger is extremely reliant and efficient. I can charge my >10% iPhone battery and an Apple Watch with plenty of spare charge left. Really great for a multi day trip. Love the ease of charging the machine itself as well.

Flip 36 - don’t trust the advertisement

The Goal Zero Flip 36 is the worst electronic product I have purchased, but I guess you get what you pay for? I am just disappointed because it never worked the way you advertised. I took great care of it and it just stopped working within 6 months of use. It never seemed to recharge my iPhone “up to 3 times” lucky if I got 1 full charge and now the unit itself won’t even recharge. Not to mention, the fold-out usb port is a terrible design - very weak and just waiting to break. Now that I’m looking for a more heavy duty portable charger, how could I even entertain Goal Zero after such an experience with their entry level product never performing to how it’s advertised? Did I get a defective unit?

Perfect power pack!

These are great. I loaded up with several and the little docking port. They are powered up and ready to go all the time.
