This little charger charges my iPhone quickly and multiple times on one charge. Keeps me at full battery while playing Go, which is a battery suck. The price was really low, so I was uncertain, but it is a great charger (with a flashlight, to boot!)

Worked great for charging the phones and GoPro while out and about the light is very useful also. Can get about 2 charges on a iPhone 7plus till it needs to be recharged again

I purchased this charger for under $15 when Best Buy had them on sale. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the cord used to recharge the unit itself is far too short. Otherwise great for a recharge of you cell phone or device. Overall good enough for what I needed. Bonus is, it had a small flashlight on it. Didn’t know that when I bought it. Price is what got me to buy it for an upcoming trip. Happy so far.

Interested in this charger because it has a built-in flashlight which makes it very practical to have along with extra battery when you need it for your phone or action camera. Quality product!

Purchased this on sale and I must say it charges rather quickly. My only gripe is the weight, it is a little heavier than I expected but all in all a great portable charger

I bought this to use at work where I often need to go 12 - 14 hours without access to AC power. It has always allowed me to make it through the day. Flashlight too.

5200 mAh just doesn't cut it...

Something you need to know about power... it's calculated at the standard 3.7V. Since just about all phones draw power at 5 volts, this 5200 mAh unit effectively outputs only 3848 mAh, which is enough for about 1-1.5 charges of most phones.
The only plus side of this is that it's compact. If you're looking for a single charge for a day trip, this will probably do the trick. If you're looking to charge multiple devices, then definitely get something larger.
Remember, to find the TRUE mAh capacity, use the following formula: 3.7 / 5 * advertised mAh of the portable power pack. e.g. A 10000 mAh pack will only yield 7400 mAh @ 5V (3.7 divide by 5 multiplied 10000).
Also note, there is also loss of power through bleeding (the physical act of charging your device) of up to 12%, using 10%, your 10,000 mAh pack is further reduced from 7400 mAh to 6660 mAh.
Before buying portable power, calculate how much you need.
Other factors to consider when selecting a power bank:
1. Does it support QC Quick Charge technology.
2. Does it have the output ports you need (USB-A, USB-C, etc.)
3. Can the power bank recharge with Quick Charge.
4. Maximum output Wattage it delivers. Volts x Amps = Watts. This will determine whether or not you can use multiple ports at the same time. If each port wants to draw 12W, but the unit only supports 18W total, both ports will be reduced, thereby increasing your charging times.

Got this on sale and absoluttely no regrets. I keep this unit in my locker at work-plugged into my phone, so I always have a fully charged cell phone. You get about five full charges out this unit and that's pretty awesome.

This is a very good phone charger for the average phone user. It may not be the best but it will provide about 2 1/2 charges over several days. Very convenient when you find yourself where there is no power, like on the golf course.

Initially it took a bit of time to charge it. But after that, it charged my iPhone x without any problem. This portable charger is small enough in size to keep it connected to iPhone and still use the phone. I love it.
