Also got some heavy-duty "charge-only" USB cables for a more efficient charge w/ the data pins disabled.

In the photo, I'm charging a Goal Zero Guide 10+. You can see it actually draws more than the standard USB 500 mA.

Edit: I like this small portable setup. Next setup will be with a portable 12V panel.
