Defective Product
I bought a 2023 version of the Sidekick Solar Generator. I bought this for emergencies. I got it out to charge up and test, and it refused to charge from a power outlet. It also did not put out any output, not even to charge a cell phone. When I called 4Patriots, they told me "sorry" but since it was over a year, there was nothing they could do except offer me money off a new one. Now, why would I spend money on a new generator when I spent $500 on the first one and it never worked? I am very disappointed in this 1 year warranty for something so expensive that was obviously defective.
