IMO the Guide 10 Plus Solar Kit is a better deal. It has the recharger and it comes with a solar panel if the opportunity arises. You can always carry additional AA batteries.

For the record, no affiliation with either Mophie or Goal Zero.


These figure do not tell the whole story.
The voltage of a battery or cell is as important as the mah capacity. The Mophie powerstation is said to be 6000mah, at a voltage not specified but probably 3.7 volts from a single lithium ion cell.

AA rechargeable cells are typically 1.2 volts each, or 4.8 volts for 4 in series.

6000 mah at 3.7 volts is a lot more energy than 4.8 volts at 2000 mah.
