A marbled piece of technology (23 Ah model)

First: I rarely write reviews. I own this device now for over a year and have me now, decided after a lot of practice with this equipment to. The device receives from me only two stars. For this, a slightly more detailed explanation. First the good points.

The device has juice. Plenty of juice. I invite that my Nexus 5 phone felt five times and the Gameboy 3DS also gets something from. With the adapter kit business delivered actually everyone should be satisfied; except maybe Apple users that need to bring your own special cable. From the weight, it is appropriate to the capacity. The design is just now so that you can get into it even in a small bag. Evidently the case processing is good, preventing the rubber feet that the device from slipping back and forth unpleasant. The two-color LEDs share a fairly intuitive the current battery charge level with whether it loads, and which output voltage has been chosen on the external jack.

That sounds only once not bad, but now the criticisms.

First, the built-in flashlight. While that is nice to have something like that, but it will switch off during transport in the pocket on the large, orange button repeatedly by itself a. This resulted in my case means that the lamp so long undetected burned that the equipment was prohibitively hot on the LED. At some point the LED turned into a permanent flashes what could not be shut down; It was even hotter, so I actually had the fear that my device burst into flames soon. Finally, the LED burned out completely so that this nightmare was over. I had actually already agreed on Amazon an exchange, but as sometimes happens, I did not get and kept the unit finally.

Then, again the LEDs. At some point stopped working the 75% charge status indicator LED. Well, a gift. I have a feeling that here a pattern emerging, namely that the resistors were not properly sized. Hell They are namely ...

Finally: The decisive factor for the purchase decision was the built-in solar cell. If that's your reason forgets it. This solar cell is not even in a position on a summer day, the charging voltage to get * *. Although the cell full sun - sometimes even tracked me so that the sunlight perpendicular leads to the surface - abbekommt - discharges the battery over time. The only thing the device does is to let cheerfully funny flash the LEDs. I can only speculate on what is wrong with it, but without having to disassemble the unit, I can not comment.

The device itself is a good power bank, but for the price I expect a quality principle in a completely different league.
