I have been blessed with friends who have donated all of these to me. I find them all really useful. I have not owned the WakaWaka for a cycling season yet, so I do not really know how it performs. The Golden Child Solar Paks took a few days in Scandinavian sin to charge on my bar-bag. The battery was big enough to charge my phone and two iPods.
Both the WakaWaka and the Solar Oak can be charged via a USB cable as well
