Quite compact and decent output for it's size
For the size this does pretty well and can fully charge my cell phone 1 time. It's dense, sturdy and feels well made. It comes with both USB-A and USB-C ports as well as a dedicated attached USB-C cable which is pretty unusual in a battery this small. The LCD is clear and bright with a full 3 segment LCD. Not just 4 dots as lots of budget chargers have. Since it's a smaller size at 5000mAHr size vs the popular 10,000mAHr units, smaller batteries trying to do full charge rates tend to have more internal loss during high powered charging. That cuts into the total capacity somewhat depending on the charge rate but that's just physics. For example, at a slow 200mA charge rate you'd get pretty more capacity but at a 1.5Amp discharge rate I measured 3700mAHr total from the 5000mAH rated cell. Maybe they can get 5,000 under certain conditions but there are internal losses so there really should be 2 specs; the battery rating and the mAHr output rating as well. This one does decent for it's size and doesn't get too hot while charging or discharging. The form factor is pretty handy to top off your phone later in the evening such as after dinner or at a show. For the size and only 13 bucks at the time this is a better value than most since it has a built-in USB-C cord, full size USB-A and USB-C sockets too. It also can do fast 9V and 12V charging has the best power button around which is nice and large, not a little button somewhere. It also understands and can negotiate a 12V charge rate while being recharged rather than being limited to older 5V USB specs. It can also charge at 9V at 2.22A or 12V at 1.5A = 18 watts going in. It won't do 30, 45, 65 or 100W rates going IN or OUT but it's still pretty fast for such a small battery pack. They did all they can in unit that small. Read more
