The times of bigger, faster and higher may still be true for the current generation of smartphones, the mobile emergency generators, however, are now relatively light and easy to become. In this list also this product of MiPow joins that although a regular pocket pretty bulge, but all will fit easily into conventional handbags, suitcases, glove compartments or pockets.
The developer and publisher MiPow is of course none other than the partners and namesake for cheap merchandise made in China. However - and this is probably the only significant difference - officially licensed by Apple. The one may now see good or bad, but obviously, this collaboration also acts directly on the offered price / performance ratio. The is - with all due respect for the good feel and look of mobile batteries - but relatively highly settled. It's funny, a fact that I somehow familiar to appear in conjunction with Apple.
Without a doubt - an integrated Apple Lightning connector will swallow a few cents extra in the production, but is also the only outstanding unique selling point compared to many competitors. For a pretty MiPow branding on the front, I can finally do not buy much if then would a slightly stronger output / memory performance than the maximum available 2600mAh, certainly much more helpful to me. The current battery size of a modern iPhone 5S stabilized at about 1500mAh. If one adds transmission losses and load fluctuations with a, the bottom line remains a single and safe recharging and maybe some slight power surges in the aftermath that keep the patient alive for a little longer. Before he invariably refused to serve.
Of course, can be loaded with the SP2600L-BK also any other USB device. But also the other afford replacement batteries easily. So my conclusion is relatively sober. The MiPow is pretty and expensive. In addition, the two-stage LED charge status display is completely without significance. Since I no longer breaks also the sporadic delivery (little black protective case & manual) of the socks.
I recommend before purchasing a hard look at the similar bearing product portfolio at Amazon. Here you do not have a choice between equally handy devices with additional function, eg EasyAccU-Bright 3000mAh Lipstick Big Battery, Ultra Compact 2.1A output with 0.5W LED flashlight function External Battery Power Bank External Battery Charger for iPhone 5S, 5C, 4S (Apple adapter included ); Samsung Galaxy S4, S3, Note ...] or really reliable Power Bank variants with extremely high capacity, eg EasyAcc 10000mAh Power Bank 2 USB 3.1A output (5V 1A, 2.1A) External battery pack mobile charger for iPhone, iPad, Smartphones, iPod, 5V Tablets, GPS, Bluetooth speakers and headset, color: black.
The prices speak for themselves and I have long since made my personal decision.
