mophie powerstation XL External Battery Charger: Always be ready to recharge mobile phones, tablets and other USB devices. No bigger than a deck of cards, this portable charger has enough power to charge up to two devices, and tracks how much battery life the device has.
A: I travel a lot with my work and use my iPad mini. I use the Mophie - Juice Pack Powerstation XL as my charger. I can fully charge my iPad, and iPhone at least 7 times before it runs low. I tend to run both down to 20% and the Powerstation has been able to handle charging both quickly. I think you will be very happy with this item! Downside is the Powerstation tends to be a little bulky and heavy but it goes into my laptop bag so no worries.
Q: How do you charge this product to use it?
A: It comes with a usb cord but you'll still need to connect it to a plug so you can then plug it into an electrical outlet to charge it.
A: See package. It states on the package it is compatible with Smartphones, tablets and other USB devices. I charge my iPhone and iPad with this device. The package terms are most likely categorically general terms to avoid providing an exhaustive list of every model of cellphones, tablets, and other USB devices on the market (that this company does not make). I hope this helps you to decide.
Q: WHAT IS THE OUTPUT 2.1 OR 2.4?
A: I don't have a way to measure it, but it says Output: 5V = max: 2.4A x 2, 44.8Wh
Q: Can it charge attached device and be charged itself at the same time?
A: No, it can't. I've tried
Q: Will this charge a laptop on the go? (MacBook Pro)
A: No, this is meant for phones and tablets. A laptop requires more power, and a different adaptor to charge from than USB. This will not charge a Macbook Pro
A: Mophie XL powerstation comes with its own USB cord for charging. However, you will need to connect the Mophie USB cord to something like an Apple 12W Power charger (comes with iPad) to connect to a power outlet to recharge the powerstation XL.
Q: Will this battery charge an Apple Macbook laptop?
A: The powerstation XL is meant to charge up many different mobile devices, as well as tablets. With the size of the battery in the laptop being so much larger than the battery in the powerstation XL, they are not compatible for charging the laptop. You can certainly charge the XL from your laptop, though. Thanks for your interest in mophie.
