This little battery is such a lifesaver. I’ve used several different types of external batteries before, including PocketJuice and PowerBank, and none have quite measured up to what this little guy can do. It’s sleek and decently sized in a nice shiny black finish. It charges up quickly, either through USB or connecting to an actual outlet and keeps its charge until I’m needing to use it. Not once has it let me down, including on my 5 day camping trip in Death Valley. It even has an indicator on the side to show how much juice it has left, which works accurately unlike other brands. It came with its own cord, a given, but also a neat mesh bag to carry it around in. I’ve yet to find another company that provided something like that. Generally you have to buy it yourself. It doesn’t get too hot while in use, some of my PocketJuice chargers would practical burn my hand in comparison. I’m excited to see what else Anker comes out with! This product isn’t their highest mAh charger, but it’s an essential as far as I’m concerned.
