Once plugged in and charging, the blue indicator lights will flash. Make sure you do this because the Venture 75 will not charge anything until it is plugged into a powered USB port first. New Venture 75 units are shipped in a protective mode to prevent self-discharge caused by long periods of inactivity. The only setup needed for the Venture 75 is to charge it before use. The flashlight isn’t something I’d use on a regular basis, but it does come in handy in a dark tent when fumbling around trying to plug in your devices. The same long press will shut the flashlight off. A long press on the button will activate the built-in 50 lumens flashlight. One press of the button will light up the charging LEDs to indicate battery level. There’s one button on the Venture 75 front labeled BATT. At $119.95, I had hoped the Venture 75 would include a USB power block, but the cable is all you get. The charging cable is pretty short, and unlike some Goal Zero power banks, there’s no place to store the cable on the unit. The Venture 75 can be plugged in recharging itself while it charges other devices. The USB-C port is also used to charge the Venture 75 via the included USB-A to USB-C charging cable. All three ports can be used to charge devices simultaneously. When open, the port plug reveals the charging indicator lights, two 5V USB-A ports, and one 60W USB-C port. True to form for Goal Zero, the Venture 75 is very well designed with a clear intention of highlighting its ruggedness and utility.
