Before I get into my review of the Sherpa 50 AC, I have to get my biases on the table. I have quite a bit of GZ gear. Some of it I like, some I don’t. In general I find GZ products to be overpriced and needlessly proprietary. Especially their connectors. I always bake that into my reviews. I paid $100 for the Sherpa which I find to be a reasonable price assuming the included inverter.Ok on with the review. My Sherpa arrived completely drained. The reason is because to LED light had been activated (maybe in transit) and had drained the battery pack. I was worried when I first connected the AC adapter and the “!” symbol popped up. Luckily it went away in a couple minutes and I got a full charge. I tested the 12V connection and the inverter, etc. Everything was fine. I’m not sure about capacity yet, but it appears that my Sherpa is at or near rated capacity just based on my initial testing.I have to say that I’m impressed with this little power pack so far. I plugged in a 65W laptop charger to the inverter and the Sherpa did fine. Of course the inverter and battery pack began to get warm and I only went for about 15 minutes before ending the test. I drew about 20% off the pack in that time. I would NOT recommend pushing the Sherpa 50 that hard for very long. For my Surface, or my iPad, I think the inverter would do better. Really the inverter should just be for things like battery speed chargers.The regulated 12V port is really the star of the show. I can actually run a 12V fridge for some time without setting off the low voltage warning. I wish the larger Yetis had regulated 12V outlets.The USB port is a USB port. Not much to say here except remember that this is only a 5200 mah pack. Don’t go thinking you’ll just charge up all your electronics with this.Mostly I’m very satisfied with the Sherpa. I haven’t tried to charge it directly from a solar panel because I’m a bit scared to. My smallest panels are 100 watts. That seems like a lot to throw at a little 50 watt Sherpa. Oh and no chance I’m getting one of the Nomads. Classic overpriced GZ nonsense. I’ll be perfectly happy to just use the AC adapter and charge off my Yeti. It’s still solar after all. I think what I might try is using one of my Rockpals 100s with just 1 or 2 panels unfolded and see if the Sherpa will charge that way. If I do that, I’ll post results.Long story short for $100 US, you’re getting one of the good GZ products. Read Less
