no, not spam just wanted your opinion. I tested mine out for the first time last night and it held up great. I turned the built in lights on, powered a lamp with a 26 watt bulb for about an hour and a half, ran a large power drill for three minutes straight and powered my alarm clock for about 6 hours all on one charge. Not bad for an $89 purchase. I am just starting to get into solar and so this is all new to me. Getting the Harbor Freight 45 watt kit tomorrow and am looking forward to seeing how it holds up. Anyway, do any of you have any opinions on this box?

Hey Bigdtown, we have a couple of those that we bought from Canadian Tire 2 years and we love them. One of them can power 2 sets of led Christmas lights for 5 or 6 hours. We have one that has the solar panel, and then two others do not, and are more like rechargeable batteries. Have been using them for 2 years now, but noticing that they are not keeping their charge as well, but have no regrets buying them. I woud recommend them although Canadian Tire doesn't seem to carry them anymore.
