Too expensive for poor performance

I bought this a year ago and have been using it to charge portable batteries while camping. Some things it charges normally like my big batteries. Anything smaller sized like my phone or smaller power batterIes takes FOREVER to charge even in strong sunlight. Also a major design flaw with the folding panel is that the creases where the folds are always want to swing shut when it’s cold. I have to pry them open with rocks and sticks to keep it from constantly closing until the sun warms it up enough to loosen the plastic creases enough to stay open. Bottom line: don’t waste your money on expensive poor quality goal zero products. Spend less on something better quality.

Everglades Expedition

I used Goal Zero for a 1,500-mile, 75-day solo canoe and kayak expedition. (PaddleQuest 1500) The equipment performed so well that I upgraded for a recent Everglades circumnavigation expedition. Keeping the Venture 75 on charge all day, even with filtered sunlight gave me the juice necessary to keep navigation, communication and lights topped off. It’s good to venture into the wilderness confident in my essential equipment!

Charges my nomad in about 6 hours!

If it's been folded up for a while it's kind of hard to unfold and use other than that it's genuine goal zero quality.

Does not charge batteries

I was hoping to use this as a maintainer for my boat batteries. There is no way to do this any more since the Guardian device has been discontinued. This is not a devcice for regular battery charging.it only seems to work with Goal Zero power banks which are not appropriate for typical boat usage.

Great to keep my Sherpa's topped off.

I have the Sherpa 100AC and the Sherpa 100PD and use my Nomad 20 to recharge them. I love that the Sherpa 100AC has passthrough charging, so I can daisy chain them and charge them both at once. My only complaint would be that the 8mm charging cable that can be stored on the back of the solar panel is getting twisted inside the sheathing. I believe this is due to the heat of leaving it charging for multiple hours in the sun, then wrapping it back up. I wonder how long the cable will last and it doesn't appear to be swappable if it kinks/breaks at some point in the future. For now, everything is working as expected.

Good solar panel

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I initially purchased the 7 but it didn't have enough power. The 20 easily had enough power to charge the Venture 30 battery pack. I used it on a bikepacking trip and secured it to the top of my burley trailer so it could charge while riding.

Great Addition to Go Bag!

I have a Nomad 7 and love that one as well as the 20. I keep a "go bag" in all of our family vehicles and this is an essential to make going off grid a much easier experience
