Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update June 13, 2018: More than two years ago, I reviewed this item. I said it was great and a great purchase. I still say it’s a great purchase. I still use it, it’s still works great. I have bought other ‘smaller’ battery packs. But I still prefer to use this one. It doesn’t get hot like other ones, it doesn’t deplete as quick as other ones... sure I have a phone with a bigger battery now, but I still use this instead of other ones because it’s much more reliable. I can use it to charge my computer. Who new I would do that today? I guess RAVPower knew. I’d buy another one, but the one I have still functions and works great. Sure I dropped it,... it fell, I thought many times that would be the end... but nope... it didn’t break... maybe a scuff or five... some key scratches... but it still works... Highly recommend this! I’m out a lot, I drive around and run around a lot... out of the office a lot. Sometimes, okay a lot of time I forget to charge my phone,... but this is always in my man purse.. I mean messenger bag... I think I’m convincing myself to get a second one and rid myself of all the other ‘small’ basically useless ones. Can’t go wrong with this charger - worth it! ——————————————————— May 5, 2016 RAVPower 20100mAh, Quick Charge 3.0, USB Type-C Port, and two USB Ports (one with QC 3.0 and the other iSmart Technology, 2.4A). 20100mAh charged my iPhone 5s about 8-9 times before I needed to charge the charger again. In this month that i have had it, I've charged it about 4 times. I really tried using it as my only charger to really get a better idea of how many times i could charge my phone. You might be thinking, well isn't the iPhone 5s 1440mAh? therefore the charger should charge it about 13 times? The answer is no. You do have to keep in mind that energy is lost through heat the batter generates and you know other mystical forces that I'm not qualified to explain to you. Back to the 20100mAh, it's a lot of extra battery. Carry it around in your backpack, purse (fits in a man purse too), suitcase. If you have big enough pockets and don't mind the extra bulge it fits there as well. It is bigger than anything I'm used to, (that's what she said), so first thing I thought when i took it out of the packaging I thought "MONSTER!!" Although, the more I worked with it the more compact it seemed. Included is a picture of the unit next to a few pennies and quarters for your visual measurement. Quick Charge 3.0, what does that mean for me? nothing. absolutely nothing, because iPhones don't support QC 3.0. So my phone isn't going to charge to 80% in 30 minutes. NOW, if you have a device that supports QC... you are in luck, and a very lucky person indeed. If you have, lets say an iPhone, this does not mean that the Quick Charge port is of no use for you, it still works! RavPower and their top magicians made this device able to know how much power a device can take, therefore each time you plug in a device it will charge said device to the fastest (and safest) rate. USB Type-C, what does it mean for me? nothing, again. woo. I don't have that new macbook air with just one port, that happens to be a USB Type-C... but that means if you do have that computer, then you will be able to charge said computer with this charger. I'd assume it'd give it at least one full charge. (I don't know, but i would like to, so if YOU figure it out, let me know). If you haven't been up to date there is a movement happening where more and more devices are using USB Type-C. This means this device is prepared, its not just ready for the party its ready for the after party. I digress. The USB Type-C port works as input and output, which means you can charge a phone/tablet or use the same port to charge the RAVPower charger (obviously not simultaneously). As I mentioned before, there are two USB ports. One designated to be the QC 3.0 port and the other is an iSmart 2.4A. Like I said, both ports work with any device, whether the device supports Quick Charge or not. I forgot to mention, this device also charged my iPad twice... Just wonderful. I received this unit as part of a contest giveaway on RAVPower's Facebook. This is an unbiased review to hopefully help someone thinking about purchasing this unit. Thank you. Hope my review was helpful.
