Some facts to mention about the 40w solar panel

One of the bests around, and brilliant customer service. 

It is better to turn off a laptop before charging. That is because some laptops need a large current when operating.

It is best to charge a large battery that is compatible with this of a laptop.

With larger voltages this product will reduce the voltage drop. So the large voltage would not damage the smaller devices.

Cover the solar controller when in the hot sun to prevent heat damage. 

You can use  a cloth or a towel or something.
