WE REVIEW GOAL ZERO’S SHERPA 100PD AND NOMAD 5
BY JOHN PANGILINAN
The power bank is incredibly portable given its abilities to charge several various devices at once and lightweight enough to easily fit in a pack, bag or even in your hand.
Since its inception, Goal Zero has been on a mission to empower people with a bright, safe, connected, and sustainable future by delivering smart, portable power solutions designed for everyone, everywhere. Their products have helped adventurers, explorers, and those less fortunate by providing them with portable power.
Their product collection has evolved to provide power when you need it most whether you’re on a week-long hike or on a flight - there is something for everyone. No one is safe from the dreaded low battery warning on their devices and everyone at some point has experienced losing battery power either on their smartphone, tablet, or laptop when they need it the most.
This is where the new Goal Zero Sherpa 100PD comes in handy. Designed for life on the go, this versatile power bank is the perfect solution to keep your devices charged no matter where you find yourself. The Sherpa 100PD provides fast and convenient charging with two USB-A and a USB-C port as well as a wireless Qi charging pad. The power bank itself takes about 3 hours to charge when plugged into the wall or 3-5 hours from a car’s 12V adapter. Another option is to pair it with the Goal Zero Nomad solar kit to charge when out in the wild but will take over 10 hours.
