External batteries are currently quite the rage. Meanwhile No wonder the whole world revolves around technology around smart phones and otherwise prestigious art devices whose Achilles heel is always the same - no electricity, no fun. Power Bank variants like this one from Supremery afford in an emergency first aid and bring the ailing patients - at least temporarily - again on an equal footing before hopefully withstand hours later regular cargo variants.
There is one thing that many battery variants in my household all in common - they come naturally to 100% from Asia. At least haptic plays these representatives but in a quality league. The weight of the Power Bank suggests sensible materials, the plastic housing is - for once - painted matt black, and thus pleasing resistant to fingerprints and scratches. Bordered with silver chrome accents that complete the good overall picture. For many users, the optics may perhaps be secondary. If the inner values are right, I am inclined to agree to the - but I am pleased anyway on batteries that do not remember after months of use at the Battle of Normandy.
In the basic functions, the PowerPack is not very different from the competition. A four-level, green LED teaching in 25% increments from the current charge status. By means of USB cable and, if necessary, appropriate adapters are loaded across the various systems manufacturers. However, the delivery of Supremery be limited to use with pure mini-USB connectors. Other cables and adapters falling into the "aid to self-help".
Per additional features, the manufacturer tries to outdo the countless proposals of other companies. Here, the result ensures far from being a unique feature and is not entirely innovative, but the implementation seems solid. And yes, ultimately also includes the goodwill. Two USB charging ports and an integrated short-circuit and overheat protection are so new now either. The same applies to the built-in flashlight feature that attracts at least due to the dual lamp a little more charisma to be, as a lighter in windy conditions. But that - to paraphrase Helene - breath through the night? Better not.
I use the external battery usually with a Samsung Galaxy tablet, which can be nearly fully charged twice. For smartphones or digital cameras, the existing capacity is far even more than enough. Lt. Product description will support approximately 500 charging cycles. This is to prove after a short use in any way, so I can only judge the current function. At least the power management seems stable, the battery itself gets only slightly warm and accidental discharge when not in use does not occur before.
Almost embezzle I had the built-in SD card reader at this point. Honestly? I do not need him. What for? Devices such as digital cameras and Co. combine this function autonomously with a wired connection to any computer. Even after careful consideration, I find no reasonable & of urgent purpose a traveling. I tested the gadget anyway, this memory card up to 32GB were read without difficulty. That he does, falls with me but in the area "for freaks only".
Conclusion: Supremery provides a helpful piece of power-efficiency, packed in a careful and above-average product quality. A feature that not all power-Bank holds representatives from the Asian region. The extent to which the additional equipment (flashlight, SD card reader) is useful or meaningful free, will be for each end user. However, settled me in sober reflection, the price a little too high, because the currently requested sale price of approximately 35 euros is - in direct comparison with batteries of similar capacity - no unconditional bargain. For this - and only this - a star deduction.
