do you really need all those things? just get this, half the price and almost double the capacity.

I was gonna buy some 14k but you have to consider what you actually need and if you're okay with all that weight/bulk
unless the primary reason is for traveling/vacation or you need it to charge a laptop...you probably dont need more than 6k

the flashlight isn't an afterthought...whole thing is well put together. I'd rate ravpower up there with anker

3000mah will give you a full phone charge and enough for a tablet for an extended day

I like to use this one when Im on the go. comes with a built in micro usb charger and is about the size of samsung galaxy phone.

Anker Astro Slim2 4500mAh External Battery

you can also get it in 6000 mAh if you need that extra juice

for something bigger, anything from the LIMEFUEL brand is pretty solid too.

both brands have pretty positive ratings on amazon

Looking for something that can charge like a laptop, specifically a MacBook Air. Don't think you can USB charge a laptop.

Not worth it unless you absolutely need to charge on the go.

These start at $170 and you still need to add the magsafe adapter pushing it over $200.

Most of these devices are only as good as the batteries that are in them. At least with this device you can pick the best batteries you can buy.

There are a lot of fakes online. So beware of this!

ae101 09-15-2014 07:20 PM

i have 4 for them

the 1st one i got was a shitty.crap one (i dun even know how big it.is)

2nd one was a 5200 from haima (i think thats it), i can have 2 full.chargers

3rd is free when i got a new phone, shit sucks & never use it as its only 1000

the current one im using is a 12000 which is more then enough for my xiaomi 3 as it saves a.lot.of bat

u dont.really need anything fancy if its just charging phones, my pincho (thats the name)12000 is just $20 cnd & im sure u can pick it up at the.night market

Alby 09-17-2014 09:28 PM

if you are still looking for one. AnkerŪ Astro Mini 3000mAh with the promo code ANKASTRO will knock off $6. saw this on RFD.

Psykopathik 10-09-2014 10:54 AM

the Duracell ones are junk i have one. may as well goto Dollarama and get 1800 mAh ones for $3

TOS'd 10-09-2014 12:11 PM

any good and affordable 10k+ mah with multiple outputs (2amp)?

Hehe 10-09-2014 05:11 PM

^

I have a Romoss (look carefully, too many fake ones out there) 10400mah power bank. It has 2 USB ports, one 2.1A and another 1A. It has been great for the 6month I have had it so far. Should be between 20~30 bucks for a legit one with Samsung cells.

TOS'd 10-09-2014 09:58 PM

^ Do you recall which retailer you ordered it from?

Hehe 10-10-2014 01:05 AM

Canada Computers

But they don't seem to carry it anymore. At least not the same model. Mine was "Sailing 4" and the model I can find now seems to be "Sense 4".

After looking into the difference a bit further, it seems that you'd need to find Sense 4"S" in order to get the Samsung cells.

A bit of explanation about why I feel it's a good product:

The 2.1A port actually outputs anywhere between 1.6~1.9A when I tested it out with my friend's USB voltage tester. While the 1A around 0.9A. So it actually delivers close to the advertised amperage of each ports and therefore charges your i-shits accordingly. Both ports tested with iPad Air.

I have this one for Staples that I got for free with a coupon a while ago, seems to work well.

Currently using one 12k mAh is pretty awesome. Is not that big about the size of a note 4.
