Parts
EnerPlex includes the solar panel system, a multi jacked USB charging cord, and some directions on how to use the Kickr IV (you put it in sun and you're good to go). The USB cord includes mini, micro, and the older generation iPhone plugs.
The Jumpr comes with the battery pack, a micro USB cable, an iPhone to micro USB adapter, and some literature.
Kickr IV
The Kickr IV is made from a flexible rubberized plastic material. It can bend and fold up. Even the panels, themselves, are bendable. They won't take a large amount of flex, but unlike rigid panels, these can take punishment. You wouldn't want to drop a glass-like set of solar panels or bother to lug them around camping. The flexible panels here provide great durability and make the system lighter overall. You also get a very large surface area when folded out. More surface area means more power.
Jumpr
The Jumpr is a fairly standard battery backup charging solution for USB devices. It is about the length of a phone and a bit thinner with more depth. It has a slightly rounded back with a gray front. Four blue LEDs will light for status indication and charge amount.
The output end of the Jumpr has the standard USB-A style plug. Take your mobile device and plug the USB cord into this end. The Jumpr also includes a handy light.
You might think it is a useless feature, but as was said in a »previous USB battery backup review, there are times when having this feature will come in very handy. The small amount of light is infinitely better than nothing.
To charge the Jumpr, simply plug in a power source into this micro USB port. It is located on the side of the unit instead of the top. This is a slightly awkward placement if you want to use the device in pass-through.
The other side contains the only button. It is a multi-mode button. You do a momentary click to turn the light on and off. To charge a device, you'll need to hold down the button until the Jumpr responds with its blue LEDs on the top.
Rounded may be good in some instances, but for laying on a flat surface, we'd prefer if the entire bottom was all flat.
