Customer Review

This external battery is really very easy to use. Once you connect a smartphone or another to be charged device to one of the two normal "great" USB sockets, charging begins - you do not even need the button on the battery to press, so we go (which was in earlier versions maybe different ).

The button must be pressed, if you want to see the status of the battery. The display is presented with 4 LEDs (1 LED is probably meet about 25 percent, is realistic) and goes out after a few seconds of its own - very good. The button is located on one of the large sides and is slightly recessed, so it can not be easily pressed by accident as reported in other models - also very good.

A flashlight is not the battery. If they are, it's not missing much that here no further frills was installed that could be switched on by accident and then empty sucks the battery. Also very good, for all who do not need a flashlight. (For a few seconds you could use in an emergency even the LEDs of the charge indicator as "flashlight".)

For capacity: The stated 10,000 mAh are a rather theoretical value, how much charge the battery can store under the best conditions. In practice, the charge is made but not always optimal, and in the line and in the battery and the device to be charged incur losses, which become noticeable in heating. This is also in the small leaflet included with the product, there being the potential losses, 30 percent are given - a usual value. In reality, the charged device so perhaps received only 7,000 mAh of usable electrical energy. This value corresponds to about my experience that I could charge around 4 to the battery my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini times.

The point is that the rated capacity is not really that is what is the charged devices are available, but applies to all such batteries and does not constitute a point devaluation here. Rather, it is the manufacturers to count positive that it enters into its product description on this topic. Generally, you should therefore bear in mind that you can never assume when buying a battery, to be able to really take advantage of the full rated capacity; if necessary, you should then more likely to buy a generous sized device.

For my needs the battery has been just right, it is still quite compact (slightly larger than a big smartphone, and of course a bit heavier), but it fits even in a not too small pocket or in a shirt pocket (is then probably slightly above). The format is really convenient, you can take him well on a journey in your hand luggage.
