mophie - powerstation 4000 Rechargeable External Battery - White

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%.

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

I bought this on recommendation from a Best Buy team member before a trip to Hong Kong. It was priced well and was what I needed. I did deduct one star, because the pack did not hold a charge after about 10 days of inactivity (was fully charged). Also, after the next charge it depleted more quickly while charging an iPhone 6s that was at 30%. I thought this pack would charge a few devices to 100% before needing a recharge. Maybe it's due to the fact it is still new and hasn't had many charge cycles, so I will continue to use it hope for an improvement.
