Pretty good battery pack:

* Very well built
* Battery charge/capacity indicators are very nice looking
* I've been impressed by how on/off works: Plug-in device you'd like to charge, push the button to charge. Unplug the device to stop charging, the battery pack will power off on its own. Easy, nothing extra to worry about.
* Overall design is neat - doesn't diminish the iPhone's look when it's next to it
* The shiny plastic doesn't scratch too easy - I've been throwing it in my bag and it still looks fine
* Doubling the battery as an LED flashlight is a bonus - double-press the button to turn it on, double-press to turn it off.
* Comes with a bunch of little cable connector tips. This could be a good thing if you don't already have cables but I use my own 22cm short iPhone cable from CableJive and another supershort microUSB cable by Nokia.
* I use any random microUSB charger to charge the battery since I always have those around - not sure if that's recommended but been working fine for me.

I've used the battery pack to charge my iPhone, T-Mobile Hotspot, Kindle, friends Android phones, and good to know that I can also charge my iPad if needed. Charges the iPhone pretty quick, I can carry both in the pocket since I have the short cable.

Would definitely buy this product again over any other battery pack out there but would also consider the 2900mAh version of it. At the time I was buying, this product had the most capacity in the smallest size - awesome!!

Perfect for long flight and travel!

I've been using the PowerGen 5200mAh battery pack for about a year. It's gone on 8 flights, 2 bus rides, and a number of road trips. After all this time of heavy use, it still manages to charge my cellphone fully twice before running out of juice.

The battery indicators are pretty handy as is the built in flashlight and the size makes it small enough to toss your backpack or camera bag when you're out and about. The original adapters and random little pieces get lost pretty easily, but chances are you'll have the cable you need laying around the house.

It's been extremely handy for me over the year of use. That built in flashlight has come in handy on a number of occasions when my phone wasn't available and having audible running for 8 hours on a flight is very nice. Great buy for under $30.

I love this thing!

I've had this charger for almost a year. It has been used quite a bit and still going strong. As some have mentioned, the adapters are crap and broke right away, but I had suitable cables floating around, so it's not a huge problem for me. This is the only reason for 4 stars. It was no problem for me, but if you were in a situation where you were relying on these cables and adapters you'd probably run into problems.

I charge it using my nook charger, and it works just fine.

I love this on long car trips, especially when I am making heavy use of maps which seem to eat my battery. We have used this to charge iPhone 4S, iPods, iPad, and nook.

A reviewer mentioned that they left it charging overnight and found it died. I have not experienced this problem. I've left it charging for days without any problems.

It seems fairly durable. My daughter did drop it one time and the casing popped off so that we could see the batteries inside. I was sure it would have broken some of the soldering inside, but when we popped the cover back on it worked as usual. The plastic casing resists scratching and the connection ports seem durable (not coming loose or unstable with being often jammed into a purse or pack while cables are attached).

I would definitely buy another one of these. Maybe even one of the higher mah ones, although this one has plenty of juice for most of our needs.

Had charging issues after 6 months

May 15, 2016

I've been using this external battery for my iphone and ipad for a few years now.

After using it for about 6 months, I started to have an issue where I would plug it in to charge it, and the blue lights would blink in different patterns depending on what outlet I plugged it into. For example, sometimes all the blue lights would blink at the same time instead of consecutively, and the battery would not charge at all. When I moved it to another outlet, the blue lights blinked consecutively and it charged just fine. I never have a problem when charging the battery by plugging the USB into my computer. However, it's hit or miss whether it will charge when plugged into an outlet.

Now that I know the problem, I will make sure it is charging properly when I've plugged it into an outlet, and if not then I will move it to another outlet. It's a bit of a hassle when traveling and there are limited outlets in your hotel room, but the battery still works and I haven't had to replace it. I don't think I would buy the same brand again, but the product has lasted for a few years now, so at least it wasn't a flop.

Requires it's own plug... finicky device, but works well

UPDATE:

I had difficulties charging the unit in one session. I have since discovered that I was using my iPhone plug, instead of the one supplied with the unit. With the iPhone plug attached, charging will not complete. With the plug attached that came with the unit, plug it in once, walk away for 4 or 5 hours, come back and it's done.

It's picky about what you plug into it. Hopefully I'll be able to hang on to that little piece and not loose it...

______________________________

Very happy with how this unit charges my iPhone 4s.

Completely disappointed that the unit won't take a full re-charge in one charging session.

It must be turned off, unplugged, and re-plugged in to the wall every 15 minutes. It is laborious and not worth the effort.

I purchased the item one month ago. Used it twice to charge my phone. Recharged it once with no issues - now this.

I have started the process of seeing if the seller will replace the item. Will append this review as the process moves forward.
