Goal Zero Venture 30 Kit

You can charge your small devices either directly from the Nomad 7 solar panel or from the powerful Venture 30 recharger.

This compact weatherproof kit combines Goal Zero's Venture 30 rechargeable battery pack and Nomad 7 folding solar panel. Together they'll keep your small devices charged and ready. Toss this lightweight duo in your backpack before heading out on your next adventure.

The Venture 30 is a little powerhouse. You can get 2-3 charges for a smartphone or a single charge for a tablet. And charging is fast — nearly as fast as charging from a wall outlet. After charging up the Venture 30, I connected my iPhone® 6 to it using the iPhone's cable. When I checked back after an hour, the phone's power level had jumped from 25% to 90% — pretty impressive. The Venture 30 even lets you charge or power two devices at the same time.

Smart charging = fast charging

One of the key features that separates the Venture 30 from other battery packs is its ability to emulate the charging "profiles" of different device manufacturers. So, whether yours is made by Samsung, LG, Apple® or somebody else, the Venture 30 can cycle through its profiles and apply the quickest charging mode for your specific device.

When Goal Zero says the Venture 30 is rugged, they aren't kidding. You can drop it, dunk it, or leave it out in the rain and it will keep on chugging. And you don't have to worry about any rubber plugs dislodging or falling out — the Venture 30 is dependably weatherproof without the need for any plugs.

The companion Nomad 7 is an ultra-compact yet powerful solar panel that lets you charge your devices directly from its USB and 12 Volt DC charging ports.

Two ways to charge the Venture 30

To keep the Venture 30 charged up and ready to go, connect it to the Nomad 7 solar panel and place it in the sun. Or, you can plug the Venture 30 into any USB power source, such as a laptop.

Who is Goal Zero?

    Venture 30 Solar Kit: The Goal Zero Venture 30 Solar Kit includes Goal Zero's Venture 30 portable USB charger and a Goal Zero Nomad 7 solar panel.

    Portable USB Charger: The Goal Zero Venture 30 is a portable USB charger. The Venture 30 is designed to give a single charge to a tablet device, up to three charges for smartphones, and multiple charges on other small USB-powered devices like headlamps and POV cameras.

    • Weatherproof Design: The Venture 30 features an IPX6 weatherproof rating, so you can take it on the trail with you hiking and feel secure that it will handle the outdoor elements.
    • Rechargeable Battery: The Venture 30 contains a rechargeable lithium-ion NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) battery rated at 3.7V / 7800mAH.
    • Dual 2.4A USB Ports: The Goal Zero Venture 30 features two USB connecters rated at 5V/2.4A (12W max) each, so you can power two devices at once. There is one USB (type-A) port and one microUSB (type-B) port. Integrated Flood Charge optimizes charging time.

    Charging: There are two ways to charge the Venture 30. Choose solar or USB.

    • Solar Charging: The Venture 30 can be charged by connecting the included Nomad 7 solar panel. This takes approximately 9 hours.
    • USB Charging: The Venture features a USB (type-A) port rated at 5V/2.1A (10.5W max) and can be charged by plugging it into a USB power source, like a 3rd party USB/AC power adapter or free USB port on your laptop. This takes approximately 5 hours.

    Solar Panel: The Nomad 7 solar panel has three outputs, a 7" cord with a Solar plug, a 7" cord with a 12 volt output, and a 7" cord with a USB type-A port. The Venture 30 portable USB charger will connect to the Nomad 7 solar panel via USB. Multiple outputs can be used simultaneously; the available power is split between them.
