Lol then don't power on your phone as soon as you start charging it? Why would that be a scenario anyway? You had the manual charger on hand but decided to wait for your phone battery to be totally depleted before you tried to charge the phone and then immediately attempted to power it back on while you spin the charging crank with your 3rd hand? C'mon. Be realistic and use common sense for how this would be used.

Not really sure what to tell you here. These are not new types of devices and have been working just fine for many years as emergency cell phone chargers. I'm not saying this is a good product but the idea isn't a new one as there are tons of products out there

Yeah, they should really find a better way to word that. However, as far as charging goes, these are really designed to be a hand powered charger in the event of an emergency. They are not made to be used like a battery bank.

no android phone could get thru the startup routine with 80mah
no modern phone could do anything with the weak, uneven supply from cranking this

it's a flashlight

You might be able to trickle charge some little battery bank with this and then use the battery bank to charge the phone, but by the time you finish with that your wrists and forearms will be so muscular and powerful that you will not need to call for help and can handle any difficulties Popeye style

if anybody has a scenario for using this, in 2024, to charge a smartphone, which connects to a cell network, in 2024 ... then i hope they buy this, perform the tests, write the review - nobody has written that review yet.

or this thing does not perform as described ... in 2024.
