The use of this battery backup is very simple: 2 sockets, one for connecting the charger and to connect to the phone. The cable is included, but not the charger. It is very small (approx.10 cm long), very light and therefore slips easily into a purse or pocket. Allow about 2:00 to 2:30 for a full battery charge. In contrast, cell loading is much longer: it takes about 4 hours, but I think this very long charging time is because the charger turns off and on. So be sure to regularly monitor to turn it on. Moreover, with the backup battery fully charged, I could not charge my Alcatel C5 at 90%, knowing he was down to 10%. Now, however, it remains a very convenient product to have with you always, at least to help you for a day ...
