Is there anything scarier than the thought of being out in the woods at dark with a dead flashlight ? Of course there is ; your smartphone could be dead too . That ’s why GoalZero ’s latest flashlight , theTorch 250 , can be recharge with a establish - in solar panel , or merely your brawn using a start - out hand crank .
Inside the Torch 250 is a 4,400 mAh battery that can keep the torch ’s LED shine for about 48 hour on its lowest setting , or completely rechargeable a all in smartphone thanks to a USB port on one remnant .
To altogether recharge the Torch 250 ’s internal battery using its built - in solar panel will take a while , anywhere from 32 to 46 hours calculate on the strength of the sunshine . But if it ’s cloud-covered the hand crank will provide rough two minutes of illumination for every minute of cranking , so if you have any hopes of rescuing a dead phone you ’ve got a pot of work ahead of you .
At $ 80 the Torch 250 is n’t flashy , but it manages to extend a decent amount of functionality in a single unit that could in theory keep on running for an total camping head trip spent forth from a great power source . Especially when an emergency arises , like finding a first - aid kit in the shadow , or waiting out a rainstorm by squeeze confect . [ GoalZeroviaUncrate ]
