It has been 3 weeks since i received this item and its still going on that first charge. I used it like 6-8 times and it gets my phone from 15% or less to around 90% in about 25-30 minutes (my average traveling time). The only negative thing is the cord to connect/charge is super short and yes, its only 1 cord....for 2 chargers

I’m a big fan of the Insignia charger, it works quickly and is about as thin as my phone, so even with my tiny pockets I can still take it with me relatively easily. For extended periods of heavy use you might want something with a bit more juice, but for me it works perfectly. I’ve gotten my mom one since and she’s liked it as well.

This isn't going to blow you away aesthetically and yet I've been pleased with its functionality--doesn't seem to run out of battery life AT ALL. It's also great value for the money you pay and seems basically like another cell phone in your back pocket. You seem to have to press the button on the top right every time to activate the charge but that is no big deal at all.

Bought three weeks ago. Very good portable chargers. They're only 8000 mah each, but that makes them light weight and compact. They fit into my pocket with ease and it doesn't feel like I'm carrying a brick with me. I would recommend them to anyone. They're worth the money.

This Insignia 8,000 mAh portable power charger works great. This is a 2pk at an excellent price. Gives my son & daughter each plenty of extra power when they need it most. We all rely on our phones and devices so much everyday and this item gives extra power when their devices run low on power.

Hey, I have to use my phone for work so the screen is on very often. I'm also not stationary so I can't plug into an outlet.
Enter the typical power box or portable charger, or whatever you wanna call it.
During a typical 8 hour shift, I can get down to around 30% battery half way through. My screen is On, buddy. With this guy in my pocket, I don't worry about the phone dying on me. And, this has two full charges in it. I only have needed to charge up once before I make it home, but I am pretty sure it can fully charge my phone once and maybe twice more.
Peace of mind, ultimately. Only downside is that it doesn't necessarily come with the appropriate cable for your phone. So, I had to purchase separately. I hope they have variations of cables so you can immediately "plug and play". Not worth knocking a star off, though.

This is a lightweight, portable charger. Handy to have available when regular power source is not available, or close. And much more secure than plugging into an USB outlet at the airport or other public space
Handy charge indicator lights. Nothing flashy, but they work

I love that I get so many charges out this battery. It is lightweight for the amount of charge. It was a little bit of a pain to remember the in/off switch but it does make the charge last longer. So better than same amount of charge through several smaller batteries.

Very good and convenient portable charging device, can recharge my cell phone several times before to be re-charged, easy to carry, a piece of mind not to fear the cellphone will stop because no power, particularly when taking a lot pictures with my cell during the tours.

This is a pretty good charger. For me the total charging time was around 3 to 4 hours for a full charge. Once charge it did not lose the charge for about a month for my use.
When in the use the charger is actually fast at charging phones especially if the phone is not in use. For the price this is a decent value. One con would be it only has one USB cable.

So, I am always running my cell phone down. I bought this 2 pack, as it was a good price. They ARE sleek, light weight and nice looking. They re charge very easily with a cord included ( although, only ONE cord for 2 that need charging is included in this purchase) but, when I connect it with my phone, it takes too long to get it to 100%, It CAN get it to 100, but it is not fast enough. There was an upgraded 2 pack just like this one, but it was like 16k mah for like 20 or 30$ more. I would recommend getting that one, not this one. I bet it will work great like this one, just a whole lot faster. Also: keep in mind, I bought an extra cord, to use from my phone to this block as it is not part of the unit itself.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bought this for my husband for Christmas this past year. He loved it. I borrowed it for my flight to Las Vegas and was so impressed with it's ability to charge my phone and airpods at the same time and the charger was still more than half full!! I went back and bought myself one as well.

I bought this for traveling and walking around Vegas. I didn’t want to have to worry about my phone dying. It held a charge all day and charged my phone fairly quickly. I wish it was a little slimmer so it would fit in a small purse better. It was about the same size as my phone. Overall a great product and did the job plus it was a great price.

Love it, love it, love it. I am pretty critical when it comes to my purchases, but I cannot think of any cons on this external battery. Took it on an overseas trip to Africa where charging was not always possible and our rental car did not have a functioning usb charger. This saved our skin.

This is a nice little charger. I think the 8000 mAh hits a sweet spot between capacity and bulk... there is enough juice for multiple full charges of my phone, but the unit has a nice and slim form-factor.
Like most other battery packs I've had, it has 1A and 2A outputs, which is nice. The blue LEDs on black casing looks cool and sleek. Just a nice package all around.
If you can get it on a sale, price should be comparable to some of the no-name brands out there, and less than established players like Anker, for the same capacity. But in terms of features and quality, this unit is closer to the latter (i.e. better than the "no-names").
