Got my order & unpacked everything. Of course all, if not most, battery accessories will need a full charge to be able to get FULL use out of them, so I connected everything & waited.
The Solar Flashlight seemed exciting with the many different options. I tested it while on USB charge & became familiar with it. After several hours of charge I disconnected from USB & nothing.
Now in the instructions it clearly states "Do not open or disassemble the flashlight body to prevent electrical shock or permanent damage." Also on the package front there is a very obvious sticker stating "For proper use, remove cardboard filler from bottom of battery."
Nowhere, in the instructions or on the website, does it show or state that the bottom case cap will need to be unscrewed to find this cardboard filler.
I find the machining of the aluminum case to be very good, the rest of the design seems flawless & the functions to be easy to use but this one small mistake of not clearly showing how to remove the cardboard filler or where to find it is very daunting & could eliminate many returns or failure issues.
I cannot give top quality marks because of this one mistake, sorry folks it is a small technical issue but my past experience with this type of issue is what I have based my whole career on - testing & quality inspections.
