About the Goal Zero Sherpa 100 Solar Kit
A mini power station for your backpack
A mini power station for your backpack
This kit includes a bolt-on AC inverter module that comes pre-attached to the Sherpa 100.
The power-packed Sherpa 100 is the new star in Goal Zero's family of lightweight lithium-ion battery packs, and this combo kit offers even more portable power options. The Sherpa 100 Solar Kit can keep several USB and 12-volt devices charged up when you're away from home, whether you're out on the trail, in the air, or on the water. And when you are at home, the Sherpa 100 charger has enough juice to function as a limited source of emergency power during a blackout.
What makes the Sherpa 100 so versatile is its substantial power storage capacity, and its ability to provide regulated power. Electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops are becoming increasingly finicky when it comes to charging. If they don't get just the right amount and consistency of power, they often won't take a charge — especially laptops. The Sherpa 100's USB and laptop ports supply regulated power to keep your gear happy.
Take your wall outlet with you
This kit includes an AC inverter module that comes pre-attached to the Sherpa 100 recharger. The inverter provides a standard 3-prong AC receptacle for compatibility with more devices, but the round opening makes no contact internally. This makes it super-easy to power laptops, tablets and camera batteries virtually anywhere.
Three ways to charge the Sherpa 100
There are three ways to keep the Sherpa 100 charged up and ready to go. If you don't have access to a conventional source of power, you can connect the Sherpa 100 to the included Nomad 20 solar panel and place it in the sun (a full recharge takes 10+ hours). Or, you can plug the Sherpa 100 into an AC wall outlet, or order the accessory cable from Goal Zero that lets you charge the Sherpa from your car's 12-volt accessory port.
