Even as battery capacities in our campers increase, and we have a fallback (on all occasions) to juice up our handhelds and other portable devices; there is still scope for a versatile power bank, especially for the backpackers and solo travelers. Even back home, while you’re working or doomscrolling, a decent power bank that never leaves you in the dry, will do no harm. This is basically why a good power bank is not just an accessory, but an essential everyday carry in virtually every traveler’s, student’s, or content creator’s backpack nowadays.
Realizing the fact that even the (at some point) require power to breathe life into them, DeepSolar X20 has hit Kickstarter. The reliable, 3-in-1 power supply device features its own expandable solar panels, assuring unlimited backup to keep all your devices, no matter where you are.

Offering a massive 20,000mAh capacity, the DeepSolar gets its name from its solar charging ability. It has a built-in solar panel for quick backup daily. For the days when you require power for a few devices simultaneously, the power bank supports an expandable solar array, comprising six magnetic panel extensions that increase the solar input power to 18W. These are flexible, so you can lay them flat open on the ground or hang them from your backpack. The energy flow into the mounted power bank is stable in all orientations.
Since the DeepSolar X20 is targeted at the explorers, it features an IP68 rating for full protection against water, dust, and the elements. The device is also shatterproof, substantiating its credentials for being a rugged power bank an adventurer can count on. Of course, the power capacity and rugged approach require some versatile backing. For this, the DeepSolar X20 is equipped with four outputs, so you can charge up to four devices instantaneously. It has two fast-charging USB outputs (offering 40W fast charging), a USB-C port, and a wireless Qi-enabled charging pad to power compatible devices without the hassle of wires.
What really held me is not the versatility of the DeepSolar X20 per se (of course it’s exciting), but it’s the standalone functionality of the magnetic solar charging panels. These solar panels can work standalone (without requiring the power bank to be connected) to power your smartphones, cameras, and other devices directly through their own USB ports. As an outdoorsy person, you will understand the convenience of this energy, which is over and above the power bank’s native capacity.
When you’re outside of the house, you can bank on the DeepSolar X20 for not just its power, but its ability to function as an outdoor light as well. We are not just mentioning flashlight, this has the capability of being a tougher, and longer-lasting camping light with up to 80 hours of backup. For this, it supports three different light modes: Lighting Mode for general visibility during nighttime, SOS mode to send out distress signal in an emergency, and Strobe mode to attract attention when required.
