Customers have good things to say about the 8,000 mAh Portable Charger's long battery life, portability, and size, frequently citing it as a great value for the price. Many appreciate its dual USB ports and lightweight design. However, some customers experienced compatibility issues with certain devices and reported the charger becoming warm during use. A few users noted concerns about the charger's heat generation.
I recently picked up two of these Insignia 8,000 mAh Portable Chargers. Hurricane Irma was reported to hit our area (Charlotte, NC) and so I wanted to be ready with backup power for the cellphones just in case. Thankfully we didn't need them as Irma skirted around us. I did however try the charger out and it worked perfectly. Initial charge for the battery pack took about 4 hours using a standard wall wart phone charger. Re-charged my LG G4 from about 38% to full in roughly 40 minutes or so. I didn't time it exactly. It barely made a dent in the level of the battery pack. . The phone was off while charging. I'd estimate you'd get about 2 1/2 to 3 charges from a fully charged battery pack. Worked great on my Nexus 6 too. Overall build quality is fine and it feels solid. Didn't get hot while charging the pack or re-charging a phone. Good deal for the price. My only complaint, if you could even call it that is the USB cord that comes with the battery pack is short only about a foot long. Gets the job done though.

The doble usb port allows versatility to charge my phone and laptop at the same time. Its easy to carry in your backpack or pants pocket due to slim/light shape and with 8000 mAh one charge can last for weeks or for 4 full phone charges and a full laptop charge.

i use a a phone with a relatively low battery capacity (1624 mAh), and this charger can recharge it multiple times. it’s very quick as well. i don’t have an exact time/power ratio, but the charging speed is very fast, comparable to or better than a wall charger. its very solidly built and sleek. my only complaint is the status bar showing the remaining power. its a row of 4 small holes with lights beneath, indicating 25, 50, 75%, etc. you need to tilt the charger at an angle in order to view the lights, which just feels a bit awkward. however, it doesn’t detract from the usefulness. overall, i’m satisfied.
