COVID-19 ruined the chance of my January order for an Infinity charger arriving in time to go trekking in Bhutan. Not that that mattered, since COVID-19 eventually meant Bhutan was off. While Rise kept me informed on the order's progress, it wasn’t until the end of April that it arrived, a few days after I would have returned from Bhutan. As promised, the order had been upgraded to an Infinity 2. I started testing it as best I could given the lockdown.
The Australian consumer organisation Choice suggested that the usable capacity of power packs is between 60% and 70% of the stated capacity. I had found this to be true for other power packs I own, and the Infinity 2 was no exception: it gave 64%, which, for my iPhone5, would charge it 3.2 times.
I put my Infinity 2 against a window to see how much it would charge up during a 7 am to 5 pm day. On overcast days the charge gained was “one blue dot”: I would required 5 overcast days to fully recharge my phone. On sunny days I got “two blue dots” and this was enough to charge my phone to around 90%.
Given that my iPhone5 uses about 70% of its battery to create a gpx file for a day’s walking, the Infinity 2 should be adequate insurance against running out of battery in mains-free areas.

Got the charger a few days ago.
Use it to charge my phone at home.
I leave it on my desk (north-facing window, so indirect sunlight).
Charges quickly when it's sunny.

Awesome gadget! Durable leather design case. Dual USB charging ports which is perfect to sit down and share with friends. I bring it to everywhere I go.

So far I have been disappointed with the charge at the end of of a sunny day,despite being around to orientate it to the almost constant day long sun at the end of May. I was hoping it would fully charge my mobile phone. Admittedly it is a pretty good (Motorola) battery which it charges to about +4% over one to two hours. Now I'm wondering if I was going expecting too much, or if this is normal.

As I have said after I starting using the Infinity solar charger but now there seems that I’m having problems with this product:
1. The infinity Solar charger seems to get very warm when using it in the sun light.
2. Then all of a sudden the infinity solar charger flash light comes on while I’m charging it in the sunlight causing not to be able to hold a charge and I’m unable to turn off the flash light .
The end results is that now I’m unable to charge my cell phone period !
Would very much appreciate it due to this Infinity solar charger failure to properly function and be able to obtain a replacement as soon as possible due to a defectiveness of this Infinity Solar
Charger.
I love the Infinity Solar charge but for some unknown reasons my charger isn’t providing the daily power supply I require in charging my cell phone when I’m out and about.
Thank you for helping me in my request and if you need any further information, please email me at paxtonmorris86@gmail.com

I use the solar charger at work and place it in the front of my van. A lot of the time I work outside and can simply plug in my phone and Bluetooth speaker and don’t have to worry about finding a plug!
Melodie C.
Fast charging. Its solar power.
Cleofe F.
Just got my Infinity 2 solar charger and look forward to use it everyday.
Tori B.
I'm on the go everyday and sometimes I'm not in a place where I can just plug my phone in and let it sit so this gadget comes in handy got those moments so I can keep using my phone for work. I love it and am so glad that I finally decided to order it after a few months!
Veenaa A.
Has been a a great power bank to carry around. Importantly it charges itself so it is very convenient and is worth it
RONALD C.
Very nice product. Picked this after reviewing many other similar products.
Harriet H.
I work as a gardener and listen to podcasts and audiobooks all day, every day. Now I can charge my phone at lunchtime without having to worry about whether my charger is topped up! Brilliant gadget which will make my life just a little easier.
Ashley J.
Love this when I don’t feel like charging my phone and staying by the outlet or when I’m at an appointment and there are no outlets near by and my phone is low. Will charge for long periods of time unlike other portable chargers that only charge part of your battery. I take this everywhere with me
Michael D.
Although I’ve not had the Ifinity 2 solar charger long,I have already found it very useful.
It does everything it states on the box with the bonus of a very bright torch which I did not realise it had when I purchased it.
I would have given it 5 stars but I had to wait nearly two months for delivery.
Michael A.
I ordered this almost 2 minths ago but i never got it. I know the Covid 19 situation has slowed shipping, but i was just wondering if i could get an estimate as to when it will arrive.
Melissa S.
Very satisfied with the solar powered charger that I purchased. Works well even with minimal light. Pop your phone on the windowsill or the dashboard. Appreciated the email updates tracking my purchase. Thanks!
Isabelle C.
It is helping a lot to keep my battery alive!
Tim H.
My two Infinity Portable Solar Chargers arrived yesterday - the extra is for my daughter's family to take camping. It had soon topped up my iPhone's battery and is now doing my miniboom speakers. I am particularly impressed by just how robust the charger is; the brightness of the torch is also quite something.
Andrew K.
Very excited about the potential of this phone . Perfect for bugging out if required in these extra ordinary times .
Enjoy.

Sarah D.
It’s nice to have a back up while I’m hiking outdoors. Just attach it to the outside of my pack and just walk. Get a little more than a charge and a half off a fully charged device.
Pratir P.
Good build quality and can get 2 phone charges. However, very slow to charge up via sunlight.
Joseph B.
Bought it for camping just in case it’s been a really helpful tool
Susan A.
Love my solar charger. Take this with me on horse outtings.
David M.
I've received it today and it's great. its fast charging for my phone as I'm always on it the battery runs low fast with this solar charger it comes with a light and it also dose SOS so that's a plus for me as I'm always out in the countryside
Gary M.
Very good and practical product, use it for charging my mobile phone my iPad and as you can see from my photograph my ECIG is on charged, just arrived today, Thank you to Danielle from sales. Gary Machin Mansfield England.
Joyce M.
Great instrument.
Victoria A.
This charger works fantastic! I didn’t need to use it for a week and I was thinking I was going to have to charge it again but... it still charged my phone!!
Sheila R.
Love how convenient this charger is! Works rapidly and will feel better being prepared with a charger not needing electricity on hikes and when and wherever,
Jeffrey O.
It is too soon to tell whether this will perform reliably over time. I would like to see larger and more legible indicator lights on the sides on the next generation. Otherwise, it appears to work well.
Amy T.
Love how compact and easy this is to use!! Never will be afraid of being stranded without access to the world again :)
Danielle M.
Though we are on lockdown I still took notice to some of the unique features. I love that it begins to charge once the panels are unfolded which will be great when you need a charge pronto. It's got some weight to it which I like. Harder for me to just fling it out of my purse, like I have done with lipstick sized chargers. Can't wait to use this when I can continue and rearrange my previous travel plans!
Ian D.
Bought this charger mainly for cycle touring/camping. Have yet to use it for this purpose due to Covid 19 but the charger is well made and designed. Folds away into handy and sturdy unit. Bright torch with different functions. Charges my smartphone overnight with little drain on charger battery. Charges up in only moderate light conditions.
My main criticism isn't of the product or even of the 8 week delivery process (making allowances for the Coronavirus situation) but of the total lack of updates and communication from the company during the wait. Get a grip Rise - the poor service takes away from your good product...
Peter M.
Just got my infinity 2 charger, it took a loooong time to get but it was worth it! It’s really robust, my kids grabbed it, dropped it and ran off with it but it still worked when I found it! It charges so quickly, I have it on my window sill whilst I am working and it keeps my phone topped up. The torch is super bright too, not sure what the strobe setting is for but the kids love the SOS! A great product, I will definitely buy from RISE again. Cheers!
Kristina G.
Great little gadget. Holds a charge surprisingly long. Very durable construction noted. We have a lot of sun to feed it here in Florida, but scant windowsill source is sufficient. Love this thing!
Greg H.
I trek on a bicycle and use the charger for my iPhone and LED lights for the bicycle. The compact, robust design is most suitable for this and the battery pack is useful for recharging from mains in between treks when I am camping in a tent so it is ready to charge my phone.
Jovelyn L.
Its really help alot when im traveling somewhere,outing or picnic!!and also sharing it with my friends when they dont have extra power bank.....

I’ll be using this more and more as the days warm up. It’s a great way to sit outside and not be draining your batteries!
Jesse N.
Love it! A wonderful addition to outings in nature.
Barbara H.
I don't have a cell phone that takes a photo, so oh well. But as a 70 year old with a compromised immune system, I am relieved that I now have an oximeter to measure my oxygen levels during this pandemic. I will also use it for my son, his wife, and my grandchild. It will give us peace of mind.
Daniel G.
The battery pack is good, but you should be aware that it cant charge you devices by solar power only when the battery is fully discharged. I performed several trials and was unable to have make this unit work as advertised. Guess I will need to keep charging the Rise unit using the usb cord.
Cara T.
Have used this for about a week in Australia late autumn. Was lucky to be given infinity 2 with three solar panels. Appears sturdy and well made. Charges my android phone really quickly. The sun isn't as bright now as in summer but still seems to recharge ok and have been able to bring the battery back to 4 lights (full charge) on solar alone while still recharging my phone. Took ages to arrive, over a month, but that's expected with the global delays. Customer service was prompt and pleasant when I queried the wait time. Very happy with this purchase.
Elizabeth L.
We love the vraftmanship and great convenience of the product! two thumbs up!!!
Jane Y.
It took a long while to arrive in Australia (but was out of stock at time of ordering) but was well worth the wait. Have only used it a couple of times but it is such a handy gadget to have. Quality, well-priced product.
Michael C.
It a great battery with solar panels. Charges fast and can even be used in doors with light to charge. Love It so far cant wait to camp with it.
Thomas C.
Really, I bought it for emergency use and I think it is a good investment for that purpose!
Charlene T.
Well I like the fact that I can charge my phone without having to plug it up.
The sleek compact design is great.
I can give a better review after I have used it awhile.
paul s.
I purchased my Rise product as part of my emergency preparedness supplies. It is an important component of my safety and security planning.
Aaron M.
Nice to charge my phone anywhere without worrying about the plugins.
Rosa M.
Just received my charger and I am excited to begin using it
Pamela G.
It's a wonderful feeling of security knowing I have a backup. Thank you.
Eriks Z.
it charges well in the sun with the 3 panels, charges my phone quick. excited to use it more!
Luis N.
I've waited for about two months for this thing cause of a little virus, but it was worth the wait cause by the looks of it I got the 2nd generation of the Infinity it seems. The build looks sturdy and it is, the light it has is convenient but it's nothing special as its brightness is like my cellphone. It does charge my phone but it seems it doesn't charge by the solar panel. The looks are decent especially with the leather covering. I'm really enjoying it.
Crystal D.
I just started using the device still getting use to it and figuring how it works. I love how my battery is not almost completely dead by the time I get home from work.
Alexandra O.
Very useful for a student on the go
However I wish it came with a user manual either online or in the box.
Donald Z.
Hi, my solar charger arrived today and I put it to work this afternoon and it charged my tablet quickly. I hope to use the solar charger on my long train journeys. The charger did not come with instructions, but its a no-branno to use. I was happy to see three solar panels rather than the two shown on the web site.
Don Z.
Cindy F.
Just getting started, but love the security to charge my phone if the power ever goes out.
Ryan H.
This is the best and most useful portable charger I've ever bought. Definitely worth the money.
Kenneth G.
It took a while to get it , but it’s worth the wait.
Douglas P.
It is the best solar charger out there due to it's compact size, light weight and efficiency. I have used it while camping and it is amazing.
Mattie A.
Great investment!
Ryo I.
I finally got solar charger. Now I can recharge all my devices with sun light.
Just amazing
Lisa E.
Good qualityproduct, came in good packaging also. No need for manual, the design is intuitive and can be used out of the box. A bit heavy, it weighs almost same as my phone but that is expected for extra chargers. The delivery was delayed mostly bec of the pandemic, but the company gave me some refund and was giving us updates on the progress of the shipment.
Vada M.
This is an amazing gadget it is easy to use and charges my phone and because it's solar powered I don't have to worry about it running out of power
Charlie W.
Absolutely amazing! 10/10! It feels super sturdy and durable, it can charge its battery in ridiculously low light levels that I would never expect solar cells to be able to work in. The torch is super nice, and lights up a lot of area. The battery lasts an extremely long time without discharging, it came fully charged right out the box! The packaging is super clean and looks amazing! Overall, an amazing little device. I would have happily paid double what I did for it!
Callee D.
Love this thing!
Ebelsain V.
It's not fully charging, neither on plain 85° temperature nor on the wall plugs!
I will definitely will like a refund or store credit
Mary W.
It works great! Holds the charge by keeping it open to the light. I have yet to drain it completely so I know it works as described.
Tressa G.
My kids love it never have to worry about their phone dying when we are on the go. Took a long time to get here but glad i got it
Elaine R.
Love it so far! I've only used it once but it was so nice to have for my little trip to the zoo!
Sara W.
Works well. Charges as quick as a power source. Great product
Jack S.
I have charged it on my walk to work, but I think it’s better to just let it sit next to my window all day and it does charge my phone as advertised, it’s nice to be able to use less electricity than I used to. Small steps are important.
Suzanne C.
Still haven't received my purchase.
Sherry G.
Really sturdy and quality product. Managing to charge more than two phones on one charge. Quick to charge up too.
Chris F.
We purchased this solar voltaic as a companion to our full sized pack that goes on cycle camping trips. The RISE infinity will fit under inside the clear vinyl map case on my handlebar bag, yet to be put into use but I’m sure it’ll perform perfectly.
Victoria K.
It really works. Don’t know the durability of the gadget, and it’s not waterproofed.
Colin W.
I'm using it now , and liked it so much I brought one for my mum .
Liam E.
I love the utility and resourcefulness of this charger! 10/10 would recommend.
Liz N.
After the bushfires in Australia & homes were without power for some time, this charger is now an essential for us. I’ll be buying more for my family, love it.
Patrick W.
Ordered on 4th January. Now the21st and it’s still not arrived.
How can I rate it?
Neal S.
What a great product! Very robust, well made from good materials and does exactly what its says! A very worthwhile and useful purchase.
Peter R.
Ordered on 8th Dec, still not arrived by 8th January, no response from Rise. Have asked for refund from rise but no response. Trying to claim money back from credit card company now.
Would advise to leave well alone and buy different product from Amazon.
leo n.
i love this devi e help me alot when going outdoor
Joanna K.
It just arrived already charging up the iPad and quality looks great.
Susan H.
Product hasn’t arrived. Emailed your customer service for an update and have only received 2 responses which were not helpful. Secondly got told the delay was my fault as I had emailed twice. Paid for two of these solar polar chargers and was told I can have a refund. Didn’t even tell me where the products where
Jackie M.
Still waiting for the solar charger. It was for my son who left 2 go travelling last Sunday....very disapointed we didn't get it b4 he left.
Jonathan B.
I like the quality feel of the product. I have not yet had a chance to use it as I intend, which is outdoors on hikes or bike trips, it will be tested properly in the spring.
Thuy D.
The design is very nice, however no one mentioned in the product detail that it takes about 40 hours to fully charged by the sun, this function is not good for an outside trip. I tried to place it right at the window during a whole workweek but only 25% charged. The product is sold in US but need to be returned to UK!!!
Kevin M.
Got this for away days to keep gadgets charged, girlfriend loves it for keeping her vape going when out.
Sharon Z.
It can fit in my jacket perfectly and it's the same size as my phone so it's pretty easy to carry around.
Mark F.
Compact, environmentally friendly, well designed, affordable.
Sian M.
Works great and has a lot of charging time!
Claire l.
Ordered 2 gifts for my children for Christmas on 22nd November. It’s now 21st December and they still haven’t shown up.
Mark F.
Great product. Environmentally friendly; reasonably priced; cool looking; what's not to like!
Philip I.
Its hard to say how good this product is, as although I ordered it in plenty of time for christmas, it hasn't actually arrived yet.
Maybe, IF it arrives I'll be able to provide more information at a later date
