AUTO RESTART
PRO TIP
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.

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.
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.
