Most helpful customer reviews 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Discharges batteries as well as it charges them... By HueyII Bought this, plugged in my iPod and as long as the iPod was powered off, while in the strong sun, it provided trickle charge. When i tried to charge with power on it would not charge at all and the battery was drained. Not what I expected.Update: I tried recharging my laptop and it works but power must be off. I was also able to charge my iPad but only with power off.I guess this will work on most gadgets as long as the power is off. I am curious whether I should get a voltage regulator. I don't know if my gadgets or the Sunlinq will stop trying to charge once the batteries are 100%. For now I will just watch carefully. See all 1 customer reviews...
