Summer is almost here, and with it, the sun will be shining. So why not take advantage of it. RavPower is selling its 15,000mAh portable solar charger for $17Remove non-product link with the checkout code AIR50, half off the regular price and the best price we've ever seen.

RavPower's solar charger looks like it belongs on a roof, with a wide solar panel that takes up the whole top of the case. It can charge two phones at the same time thanks to a pair of USB ports, and even though it doesn't fill up quickly—RavPower says it will take about a week to fully recharge via sunlight only—you won't need it to be fully charged to pump up your phone. The company says the 15000mAh capacity battery will recharge an iPhone 7 4.2 times or a Galaxy S8 2.8 times, so it will be able to keep newer phones topped off without a problem.

If the sun's charging time isn't enough, the charger also has a 5V/2A input for electrical charging. The charger is also waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof, and features a LED flashlight that can be activated by holding the power button for three seconds.
