EasyAcc 26000mAh Power Bank(4A Input 4.8A Smart Output)External Battery Charger Portable Charger for Android Phone Samsung HTC Tablets - Black and Orange

I invested a fair amount of time and effort in purchasing many different battery bank's from a variety of manufacturers in the search for the best value for money and more importantly the best quality. This unit i was particularly interested in due to the size of the battery and the sheer fact that it can charge 4 usb devices at one time "supposedly" - i say this because the variety of other banks that i have tried have failed in this particular area due to it overheating and simply shutting down. Does this unit do the same?? interestingly no! it does not i have managed to charge 4 devices and yes the unit got hot but not dangerously hot and it did not shut down.This unit features 4 usb ports in total and has an output of 4.8 which is actually pretty impressive for a device like this. The claim of charging an iphone 6 10 times was an interesting thing so i decided to test this. I charged my iphone 6s from a full charge on the bank i managed to get 9 charges and it was still showing 2 lights and i am confident that it can handle another 2 charges of my iphone before needing to recharged. i have tested this with my ipad pro 12.9 and due to the size of this device i was not expecting a high number but so far i have managed 3 full charges and i still have 2 lights so i reckon about 4-5 charges and it will need a recharge but for a device of this size that is impressive.Recharging this battery bank is actually pretty unique, i have not seen it on any other bank to date and i have tested a fair few (12 so far)This unit actually features not 1 but 2 micro usb input slots so you can charge it with 2 cables instead of 1. The claim above is that this can charge 50% faster than normal banks which im sure you do not need me to tell you how awesome that is???? especially for someone like myself who will have upwards of 3-5 devices on him daily which need charging at various points of the day to have a bank that can not only handle these items in full but can then recharge faster than you would expect. My commute has just got alot easier thanks to this feature alone. The bonus is this actually comes supplied with 2 micro usb cables too so your ready to go straight out of the box.The design is actually quite nice and i really like the orange and black theme it is a nice simple looking device with some hidden gems. The one major factor of this unit which i really appreciate is the fact it is not a shiny glossy surface which gets ridiculously scratched like most of the others i have tested which is pretty annoying as you only have to move it and its covered in scratches and neat freaks like myself find that extremely annoying!. The surface of this device is a nice matte plastic which actually feels very sturdy and will not show scratches very easily, I am sure over time some scuffs will appear with wear and tear but for the most part i think it will be fine. The unit feels very sturdy and well constructed and a good quality build.The micro usb cables that come included with this device actually feel very good quality and not the cheap cables i was expecting. The connectors feel very sturdy and not lose. The cable body feels rigid and strong and the outer plastic cable sleeve has a nice grippy texture to it so it wont slip out of your hands very easily.After testing as many battery banks as i have in the past 12 months i have come across some seriously cheap and nasty imitations which quite frankly are not worth your hard earned money but this unit is NOT one of those. This device actually feels decent quality and comes included with some very decent quality cables. Overall i would seriously recommend this to anyone who needs alot of backup power that either commutes to work like myself and likes to get work done on the train or people that like to travel or hike a unit like this will surface the worst and give you the boost in power you need when you need it most.10/10 overall, very impressed

--The box--The box it came it was nicely packaged but did have a crushed edge making me a bit worried as it says on the box " DO NOT LOAD OR TRANSPORT IF PACKAGE IS DAMAGED "Opening up I find that that corner was ony where the cabe lies so not the battery was (phew)--The Battery--I had selected the black and orange (because it was the cheaper on of the too, yes I'm that tight)There was not a single scratch to be found on this battery it was in lovely condition. The battery is heavier than I thought and encased in nice hard plastic, it feels like its a quality product and is nice and robust. On closer inspection I see that there are 4 USB for charging and 2 micor USB for input which it very nice and a good idea to make charging the pack up quicker and my electronics too.--The Cables--As I mentioned there was cables in the box, both of these I assume are for charging the cell up as they have USB-> micro USB cables, however this does mean that out the box (if its charged) you can charge any android device, which is a win for me-- Extras---The flash light it turned on/off by a double press of the power button and provides a nice bright white LED. Upon pressing that I notice there are 4 little LED's showing the charge as such this product was already half charges when provided to me! Winner!Not only that but all the ports for power, whether its input or output are all very stirdy and aren't wobbly

Really good, but this little bit heavy

I've had this two years now and used it loads when away. For purists of power to bucks ratio I have a feeling there is better out there. But that would miss the point of this unique battery. To get the most of the dual charge invest in a good pair of cables and a good wall charger, these will make sense and last years. Once you have these then this will comfortably charge from zero to full in 8 hours, which is quite a feat. As far as I can see no other battery of this size has that ability and this is really really useful if you are travelling and know an overnight charge will have this full again.The other great point I have found is that if I have not used this for a month or two, that when I go to give it a top up charge it has retained the charge and is still full! In terms of how much will it charge, I had a blackberry passport which this recharged 5 times from zero to full with a little left over. On one particularly long bus trip in Europe(24 hours!) i used this constantly and it kept my tablet full and mobile full for the whole 24 hours and believe me the tablet was on for at least 12 hours. It also charged my second phone once during this trip. Once I also tested this by charging from zero to full with just one power cable and it took a good 14 hours. Personally for me this is the best, the combination of fantastic charge retention married with very fast charging means this can be kept in a drawer and left for weeks even a month or two and taken out when needed. I have watched this on amazon over the last two years quite frequently it sells out for months at a time. If you are thinking of getting one, just get it now in case it disappears again.
