Hi Eric,
Thank you for your revised OR. I noticed that the text you posted in your latest message did not exactly match the HTML dated Jan 4, so I used the HTML text for my revisions below. Please be sure you've posted the the same revised text in your posts as is found in the HTML.
You are definitely getting close! I found a couple of revisions left over from last time, and just several new ones. Note the new BGT policy on OR photos, first edit below.
As usual, edits will follow the BGT format:
EDIT: must be changed
Edit: should be changed but will be left to your discretion
Comment: just that or something to think about
When you've completed these revisions, please repost to the group as
REPOST OR-Solio BOLT solar charger - Eric Stroup
Looking forward to your final version,
~Bob
###images belonging to the manufacturer
EDIT: New policy at BGT does not allow any images from manufacturer's websites in Owner Reviews, only your own photos.
###Manufacturer's Website: www.solio.com
<<HYPERLINK GOES HERE - "http://store.solio.com/Solio-Store/solio-products/Solio-Bolt-Solar-Charger-S620-AH1RW" LINK TEXT = "http://store.solio.com/Solio-Store/solio-products/">>
EDIT: the hyperlink needs to be the actual text "www.solio.com" (not separate from it), and point to the home page only.
###I really want to avoid the emergency phone is dead and so is the car battery situation.
EDIT: This is still an awkward run-on sentence, needs a re-work. Maybe something like "I also would like to avoid a situation where the emergency phone is dead as well as the car battery."
###Plugging it into the wall or computer takes almost 5 hours to completely charge it from dead.
EDIT: from a completely discharged state.
###<<IMAGE GOES HERE. ALT TEXT = "power button" IMAGE CAPTION = "Photo courtesy Solio Inc.">>
EDIT: This second, repeated image is best deleted since it doesn't add anything new to this section.
###THINGS I DON'T LIKE
Charge rate. It's slow. Very slow. I'd really like to see a fast-charge wall plug-in option. When I plan to use it on the trail I make sure to charge it the day prior.
Solar panel is exposed. The top panel is exposed and this thing doesn't come with a case, so I wrap it in a handkerchief when its in the bag.
Exposed on/off button. While I like the ease of using this single button, its placement on the top of the BOLT and its semi exposed placement does leave it vulnerable to getting turned on in the bag. That being said, I've only found it turned on twice in the year I've had it. (And I carry it everyday)
EDIT: Add a single blank line between the items, as you did in the "Things I Like" section. Also, the lead-in phrases need colons instead of periods, to be consistent with the other section. Probably best to bold the lead-in phrases in both sections to set them off from the descriptive text.
