AUTO RESTART

In low light conditions (i.e. lack of sunlight, shadow, dusk, etc.), some devices, including smartphones, will automatically disconnect from a solar panel due to a low current input. The Nomad 5 features auto restart technology that knows the difference between a device that has reached a fully charged state and one that disconnects due to environmental causes. When the latter is detected, the Nomad 5 will automatically reconnect to start charging the device again. No extra work on your part is needed.

PRO TIP

When operating in low light conditions, we recommend pairing your solar panel with a portable power bank for the best charging experience possible. A Goal Zero Flip power bank (sold separately) will fit securely into the Nomad 5's integrated Flip charging dock and allow you to collect and store a continuous stream of power to charge your device.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Is the Nomad 5 waterproof?
A: The best answer: it's weatherproof. We've gone to great lengths to ruggedize the Nomad 5; including beefing up the manufacturing process with advanced lamination techniques so it'll slough off rain and snow.

Q: Does the Nomad 5 have a built-in battery?
A: No. In order to make the Nomad 5 as lightweight as possible, we chose to sell batteries as an optional accessory. You can either plug your phone or device into the Nomad 5 to charge up directly from the sun, or pair the panel with one of our power banks to collect and store power for later. The Nomad 5 works seamlessly with our line of ultra-portable Flip power banks.
