can the solar panel play (when in the sun) via BT and charge a phone and DO IT ALL DAY

I have only charged mine once by plugging it in. If it's in the sun you should be ok. It's a great speaker!

Unfortunately, no. The Eton Rugged Rukus will charge and play through blue tooth and charge by the solar power, but once a device is plugged in through the USB it won't charge from solar power any longer. A fault I have noticed on many solar charging devices.

Afraid not. That solar panel can run the speakers all day long, but a smartphone can suck the life out of the Rukus' batteries pretty fast. Don't get me wrong, it's still great, but it's not going to power your beach party all day long.

Providing all the panels are receiving direct sunlight it would work. Some devices may not charge if all the panels are not fully exposed to sunlight.

yes... the solar panel doesn't charge it all the way up. The best way to "top it off" is to plug it in to a car phone charger or something simialar to that. A tablet charger works the best.

No, it requires the sun to charge and does not store charge. It won't contribute to draining your battery so you can keep it plugged in.

If you can keep it dry and in direct sun, then yes. It works great for charging.

Absolutely. The lamp stores power after it has been charged -- think of it like a rechargeable battery. You can charge your phone using the lamp, just as long as their is still stored power. I have used my Sun King Pro 2 to charge my phone over several nights before having to recharge the lamp with the solar panel.

I'm not sure but haven't needed to try it. For me, it plays just fine with a good solar charge. Mostly I just crank it for 90 seconds after its been stored in a cabinet awhile and it plays plenty long. Hope this helps.

Yes, just connect it independently to the batteries(not through the solar charge controller).

The light will turn on as soon as has some charge and disconnect from solar panel. Not sure if this is what you wanted but it is possible to use during day as long as solar is covered or disconnected from light.

yes, just connect the solar charger to the battery whenever you want to charge the battery.

I don't know about the solar panels but I have it hooked up in the back of a box truck powering a nice size speaker and my phone and it works great

I've used some solar panels in the past and they needed extremely bright sun to even power up a phone. This will take a little more than a Solar Panel can provide would be my assumption.

It does charge based off solar. My radio is fully charged now and will charge my cell. It will drain pretty quick if not kept where it can charge.

Yes, although all that I keep outside is the solar panel. The light stays indoors in my application. When the battery in the light is charged you can charge something else, use the light, or both. I believe this is all to be true. However, I usually take my phone to my cabin fully charged and use the Solar King to maintain the charge while I listen to tunes. As with any solar device, there is only so much energy to use, so drawing power to charge a phone reduces the energy amount and the light might not stay lit as long.

No, it's direct solar to usb, but you can use any usb rechargeable battery pack you choose.

Look at the dc voltage on your charger, now look at the dc output of the solar panel. The answer is yes, but, I would get a charge controller, battery, and inverter as to not not risk blowing up the phone.

No. You would need a 12v battery and use the solar panel to recharge your battery
