Great option for extended backpacking trips
Where to start off!!! I have had this battery pack for around five months now, it has seen the end of summer and beginning of winter now, I must say that I'm impressed with the design and overall quality of this battery pack from the fit and finish to the output rav power has got it right.This is the older model with a 16000 mah capacity,that said with a 16000 mah capacity this battery pack has a ton of power for the size and just to mention this power pack is not made up like others where they just add sand to weigh the pack down,this pack is true to the statement.I almost forgot to mention the included pouch is thoughtfully made and well stiched i have yet to have it fray on me.
I have backpacked within trails in the Catskill mountains and northern Adorandack mountains of upstate New York. It has charged everything from my iPhone 6 to iPad air to countless go pro cameras as well as flashlights and still continues to go strong.My iPad air will recharge one and a half times and iPhone 6 will roughly recharge 5 times.In addition there is a flashlight located on the front which is very convienent and two usb output ports one has a 2.4 amp output and the other has a 2.1 output and both feature the smart charging capability, which identifies the device and charges it more efficiently. I have found that even though the cold kills many batteries, this pack may loose a few miliamps but is almost unnoticeable.
It makes a good system if paired with a solar panel for extended day trips and have found if paired with a 15 watt panel within 5 hours you will have half a charge and that will also depend on conditions and terrain.I totally recommend this battery pack!!!! and now that they upgraded the capacity makes for an even more reason to get it!!!!!
