Hi Mai, I don’t know all the answers to your question but the last one, no you will not lose energy that is stored in the battery via the solar panel. Only if you have a device connected to charge then the bags storage battery will give off energy.
In general, the solar panel charges the bags battery from which you can then charge your devices. I do not know if there is an solar charge indicator on the plastic box so you could see if the solar panels is active, it might be but it might not have such feature (which would cost precious energy).
I hope this helps you a little to understand how it works but I do not have a V-Dimension bag so my answers are a bit of guess work.

I bought the bag but i find it a little confusing. I have the one with two modes (CELL and USB) and two positions (one and two) and I have tried every way but it won’t charge by solar which is all I want to do. Which mode can I leave it on so that it will just charge the panel and won’t lose the energy (can it lose energy because I think that mine does but I’m not sure?) when there’s no light?

omg… I just saw these guys at the 2008 CES. They had their product out, and was demonstrating how you hook up your device to the “black technology box” that’s attached to the solar panel (I kid you not- “black technology box”…LOL). They proceeded to demonstrate how the bag was charging a device with ambient indoor light… while hooked up to a BATTERY PACK THAT WAS ACTUALLY DOING THE CHARGING! Man, it was like watching someone selling snake oil or miracle cure-all at a carnival. Besides… didn’t Eclipse Solar Gear come out with solar bag in 2004 (they were displaying just around the corner from V-Dimension), and Eclipse owns the patent to this technology?

Hi Tim,

Nice to hear your experience about the V-Dimension solar bag, that the performance is fully meeting your expectations. I do not have this bag and I am very interested into usage experiences.
I see you found already our project on how to create your own solar bag. I wanted to see for myself how efficient and effective solar bags are. Although our project is based on a much simpler electronic than your V-Dimension bag, I do enjoy the free charge and the sun I get lately.
We are working on an improved version which we will share online again once we have it completed.
