Right but my GPS watch can't be used while charging. My arccos caddie can't be used while charging. It's either charged or not when you get to course. Phones and speakers can be charged while in use but then confined to the length of cable.I think it will be more and more common. Phones aside, lots of folks have gps, rangefinders, watches, etc., that can be charged via usb. Surprised it has taken this long, to be honest.
I would never be in the market for one. Most of the time my phone is in the golf cart & don’t see me putting it in the bag to charge.
Its kind of like the carry on suitcases with batteries?
But even then if you fly would you be required to remove the lithium battery out of your golf bag?I just remembered one of my carry on bags has this, and I never use it. Why? Because if I wind up on a little regional plane and they check the bag for you, they ask that there be no lithium batteries in there and ahhhh crap. It's just easier to keep in my backpack and there's no issue ever.
As far as the OP, I think maybe? Depends how much weight it adds to the bag for one, and two, what happens if those solar panels get drenched like if you just are walking and you get caught in the rain?

Definitely would be something to look into.Didn't even think of that, that's a great question. Would depend on how you plugged into it and if that battery pack was removable no?
I’m pretty sure that any solar panel that (reasonably) fit on a golf bag would produce so little power as to be of pretty much no benefit. I wouldn’t be a fan of an integrated power bank because it could potentially fail and be useless before the bag even wore out.
IMO, if they’re going to do anything, it would be cool to just tailor a pocket for power pack/phone use, with holes/eyelets for cable management, and let the user supply their own power pack.
That's what I was going to say. A lot of carts already have themif you are a part of the #pushcartmafia this makes more sense obviously. Most golf carts have the ports.
