mophie - powerstation 4000 - Black

The Gen 2 Powerstation packs 4000 mAh which should fully charge an iPhone 5 ALMOST 3 times over. On a full charge and at about 10% battery on my phone, my Powerstation was nearly dead when my iPhone got to about 85%. Granted, I was using my phone for SOME texting while it was charging, but services such as WiFi, data, Bluetooth were all disabled, but that shouldn't have depleted most of the Powerstations charge before getting my phone to only 85%. For those who might we wondering, it does not allow pass-through charging (charging the Powerstation AND your device at the same time), and it only charges via a micro USB cable. I think a better design could have allowed for direct wall charging to minimize the use of cables. On a positive note, this does what it's supposed to do and would definitely work MUCH better if you enable Airplane Mode while charging to get the most out of the device. You can connect this to a wall outlet, a computer, or even your car to charge it if you want. This device is also pretty light and you wouldn't really notice the weight if you were charging your device in a bag. It also also has a pretty neat texture that seems to prevent it from scratches and smudges.

While the best way is a Mophie case, this is a great option for those (like myself) that have a non-mophie case that they prefer. This fits nicely in a pocket or bag and does an effective job at putting you back in the game when you're running low.

I got it in special so it was an amazing price plus it's a really good battery. It can charge my phone entirely and then some. (I have an iPhone 7plus). I like that it's not bulky, very portable and it has a pretty nice look to it.

Good charger, power up fast Good product good juice.

I bought these on sale just before Christmas for stocking stuffers for the kids. I assumed this model was being discontinued when I bought them because of the price, but I now wonder if the weren't discontinued a while ago and have been sitting on a shelf for far to long. My wife has had a Mophie XL for about 3 years now and it is awesome so I know they make a good product, but like I said I think these are just to old. The two that do work after being charged used about 50% of the pack charging a cell phone from about near 60% to 100%.

I bought this to charge Samsung's GS4 while i was not near a wall charger. First I must say this thing is great! For what I am using for (just to charge phone on go) it works perfectly. 1) It itself is a 4000mAh charger (battery being charged is only 2600mAh) 2) To charge actual unit (on standard 15A wall outlet with the supplied USB charging cable from my phone) it only took about 1.5 hours out of box to get to full) Unit itself come with about a 2.5 foot cord u must supply another USB ----> what ever your charging end 3. I let my phone go all the way down to 5% battery to get about the maximum charge out of the Mophie (again its a 4000mAh battery is a 2600mAh) and this thing charged the phone LIGHTNING fast @ about 2amps, from 5% to full took about 50 mins. WOW......then i let my phone get to about 5% again but never charged the Mophie (wanted to see how much juice was left) and WOW again, it charged it from 5%-73% on what juice was left in it. Pretty impressive considering that's all you are going to hopefully need to get to an outlet. 4. Finally it has 4 nice little LED lights to let you know when the Mophie is charging, one will blink one at a time from 1-4 to let you know where in the charging it is, also if you have it on the go with you and need to see how much juice is left you can just push the little button on the side and the LED's will light up 1-4 again to let you know (1 obviously being need a charge soon while 2-4 still means you are in pretty good shape) When I did my second test from #3 above the Mophie only showed 1 LED light when i checked its status, i'll take that anyday, Its saying "Hey I need a charge myself, but i'll still get you to where you need to be first!" Overall i def recommend this to anyone who is on the go all the time and needs to charge there devices. I must inform also that it does not have simultanious charging, meaning you can not charge the Mophie and your device at the same time, not a drawback for me but figured i would mention for others who will consider this. Unit is small enough that it fits in my pocket along with the huge phone as well, if you need more juice they offer it in bigger (mAh) and i am sure they are just as good as this one. P.S. I got the Red one, for some reason the site would not let me review that one....the Red is very nice looking and i am sure it performs just the same as the Black =)

This is a good quality external battery by Mophie, but there are better models from them. I bought this one mostly for traveling because it's slimmer then some of the bulkier models and the price was reasonable. I use it primarily to charge my 6s, which it can do without completely draining the charge. Have not tried it on the iPad yet but I suspect that would take the entire battery supply. The external light indicators are a nice feature and it charges devices pretty quick. To recharge the battery itself takes longer though. Overall if you have several devices you regularly charge I would recommend something like the Mophie PowerStation PRO. It's sturdy, dustproof and holds a better charge. For just recharging a phone on the go, or MP3, this is a good choice and worth the price.

The Mophie does what I need it to do when it's needed. It's small enough that I carry it in my purse all the times. Just be aware, however, that even if you haven't used it, the available charge starts to diminish over time. You should periodically check to see that 4 lights appear when you push the button (silver part, right hand side opposite the word Mophie). If three or less appear, I would advise charging the device. Also make sure to carry the charger chord to the device you want the Mophie to charge. The Mophie chord is only for charging the Mophie and needs to be connected to a plug with a USB port (does not come with device). The Mophie USB port can be used with both Apple & Android charging cables
