A great portable charger without all the hassles!  Unit performs perfect and exceeded my expectations.  Use this for travel and now take 1 wall charger and 4 USB cables.  As a bonus the blue light serves as nightlight!  Very happy, so much bought six units!

Pros:
-Having a portable battery with as much juice as it has for the size that it is, easily fits into any backpack or console of any car
-Charges devices fairly quickly
-Being able to charge itself with the same cable it can charge other devices with
-Attractive styling, I like the glossy sleek look

Cons:
-Doesn't come with a USB socket plug adapter so you either have to have one or you must charge through a PC or other USB charging device
-Lights aren't intuitive to read out of the box - after the battery is drained a bit it's easier to deduce but not right off the bat
-No light on to indicate that it's charging (I'm sure it helps prolong the life of the battery but it can't be by that much can it?)

Compared to the IMP120D: I like the look of the NT120C more but the inclusion of a charger and lights indicating that charging is occurring make me think the NT120C is a step backwards.

Would like to see a retractable cable integrated into the device on top of being able to know when it's charging.

This power pack charges very effectively. It's small (height and width around the size of a wallet or large phone) and light.

I usually keep this and the cord in a plastic bag inside my backpack whenever I'm on my bicycle or going out for more than a few hours. (It also came with a cloth-like storage bag.) It's a convenient and reliable way to charge a phone or other similar devices when an outlet isn't available.

I have also had my phone plugged into the battery pack and kept it charging in my coat pocket.

So far, it charges my phone quickly. I haven't used it to charge two devices yet - though it's nice knowing that I could.

And, the device itself re-charges quickly when plugged into an outlet.

I received this as part of a reviewer program. After using it for a week, I'm delighted and would recommend it to a friend.

I have been using the  New Trent Rapiduo Plus (Model: NT81T) DC USB charger for about 5 days of constant driving, almost constantly charging both my iPhone and iPad, and it has been behaving like a champ.  My two past USB chargers in my Subaru would work for a few days, then inevitably blow out the fuse to the cigarette lighter.  So far the Rapiduo hasn't produced such an effect.  It charges my devices quickly, has a handy light to show you when it is powered up, as well as making it easy to see where to plug in your device, and comes in a two pack with one black and one white device, so you can even use two of them if you have an second outlet in your car, which would be invaluable for family road trips and multiple devices needing charging.  It also is fairly easy to insert two different USB cables, with the ports being properly spaced.  Removing them with one hand resulting in the device coming out of the outlet, which can be expected as cigarette lighter outlets are not built to secure lock the devices in place.

The only potential drawback I could see is that it's profile is slightly longer than many other chargers, which could be cumbersome if your lighter/power outlet is located close to the gear shift or some other awkward position.  My Subaru didn't have this problem, as it did not interfere with shifting when devices were plugged in.

I've owned and used this charger about a month now.  I absolutely love this mini charger.  It's solid, weights just a few ounces, and gives me the peace of mind to leave the house when my phone is anywhere less than 100% power.

The digital display is a unique feature of this portable charger as opposed to others I've seen or owned and helps to identify how much power the charger, itself, has stored.

I would recommend to the seller to include a small bag, case, or clippy cover to the end to keep debris from collecting or entering the charging ports.  The one I purchased came with a cable to charge the charger, and I suppose you could use the packaging case to keep the charger free from debris, but it's a bit larger than I think would really be needed.  Note, I haven't yet experienced any problems with debris in the ports, but knowing this is meant to sit at the bottom of purses and bags for the occasional use...well, it might not be a far stretch.

I've only had the 12000mAh portable battery charger for a little over a week. When I got it, i charged it up. Since then I've used it to top off my phone (Nexus 5) once and my tablet (Nexus 7 2013) once and it's still showing 4 lights (75-100%).
So far I am very happy with it, it's small, convenient to carry and easy to use. I like the textured finish and the product seems sturdy and well constructed.

My only quibble would be with the little lightning bolts marking the USB ports. Port USB1 (one lightning bolt) is the 2.1A port, while port USB2 (two lightning bolts) is the 1.3A port. In my opinion, it would be more intuitive if port USB1 was the 1.3A port and had the single bolt, then port USB2 be the 2.1A port with two lightning bolts. Or, just mark them as 1.3A and 2.1A, without the bolts. It doesn't detract from how the product works, I just find myself double-checking the small print on the back of the device that identifies the two ports (and which matches the small instruction booklet) to make sure I'm plugging into the port I want.

Before this, I had an old Boxwave charger that held four AA rechargeable batteries, but while that worked with my older phones and MP3 players, it was not up to the task of charging newer phones or tablets. So far at least, the Photive 12000mAh charger is working great and I'm hoping it lasts a long, long time.

Anker's super compact portable charger is a great product so far. I say so far, because i want to see how it holds a charge through several uses and several months of standby.
I bought it for my wife to carry in her purse because she doesn't always remember to leave the house with a fully charged phone. She's used it a couple times now, and it does exactly as expected.
When considering a charger for her, I liked the fact that it is tiny, and has a slightly larger capacity than other chargers of similar size.
The only complaint I have is that it gets really hot while charging. Hot enough that I can't hold it in my hands for any length of time if the phone is connected. Not too big a deal since the phone shouldn't be used while charging anyway. My wife just tucks it into the included sleeve and puts it into its own pocket in her purse.
Other than the heat issue, this is a great little portable charger.

I've never had a portable charger before, but I got this and I use it all the time! It's small, about the size of a roll of quarters, and has fits in the same pocket as my phone, and I can just hook it up, put it in my pocket, go about my day and have it charge up my phone while I'm doing just about anything. It also charges my phone very quickly. Seems to charge it even faster than the wall outlet USB that came with the phone.

Nice compact unit with a lot of power to charge portable devices.

My wife has used this portable charger for months now and really enjoys it. She keeps it in her purse so she always has backup power for her phone. The kids like it too, so they can charge tablets while travelling. I've wanted one for myself, but don't typically have battery issues with my phone. However, when I saw a deal for another one of these, I decided it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to get one myself, so I ordered another.

This is one of the only portable chargers that tells you the charge percentage and output, which I think it very valuable. The flashlight is another great feature because you never know when you need a quick light. Overall it is really designed well, clearly labelled, and feels solid.

This portable charger is amazing! I was a bit skeptical about ordering a portable charger after reading some bad reviews but decided to just order one and I'm so glad that I did. It charges my iPhone 6S so quickly and the battery life lasts. I get several full charges out of this before I have to plug it in to charge. It is so convenient and I take it everywhere. It comes with a little soft drawstring bag which is perfect. My only slight complaint, and it is hardly a complaint, but I wish it was a little bit smaller. But it is not that big of a deal. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a portable charger!

Very nice and heavy portable charger!  It came fully charged, but when down it takes approximately 8 hours to charge.  It has two usb plug ins so you can charge your phone and tablet at the same time!  It actually charges pretty fast too!  One touch from the side button will tell you how much battery you have left and a double click will turn on the LED flashlight.  This is very handy, the previous one I had would only charge my phone about 3/4 and that was it, this one worth lugging around because it could save your day.  Perfect for those times when an outlet is not around.

This is a really nice portable charger.  It is very convenient and easily stored.  It works great for my fiance's phone, but it had issues with my nexus 6 that is a bit bigger.  The only thing to be aware of is that it heats up a lot while charging, so keep that in mind as to where you place it while in use.  All in all, it is a great and helpful buy.

I really love this portable charger. It charges faster than advertised (I've tested charging it from my laptop and from a wall outlet.  Very impressed) and it is such a convenient size to carry around...  The charger that comes with it conveniently fits my Kindle Fire, too!  I use that a lot at night as I'm falling asleep and it's lovely to be able to plug this charger into my Kindle and not be tethered to the wall outlet that is just a *bit* too far away to be comfortable. It does get a little warm when in use (either charging it or using it to power a device) but it doesn't get uncomfortably hot.  I would make sure it's out in the open, though, when in use.  (for example, I would be comfortable tucking this inside my purse while charging my phone with it.)

Off the dozens of Qi chargers at Amazon this one - provided by vendor as a 'for review' item - stands out for a number of reasons so forget the 'one word' in the title :)

- Portability: it's small and light enough to fit in one's pocket or, more realistically, in any travel bag.
- Dual-charging: you can use it as both a Qi wireless charger or a more traditional wired power bank, using the provided USB cable.
- Fingerprint proof finish: this is a great thing, beats the 'shiny' finishes every time.

Of course, not everything is perfect. The power bank capacity is quite small at 4000 mAh and that amounts for 'not much' if you attempt to do a wireless charge on your phone. I would have also welcomed some form of bag/pouch/case included so that I can pack the charger and the charging wire and keep them together.

Overall, I like it. It does wireless charging well when connected to a power source and it's small and quite good-looking. Of course, in an emergency, you're better off going the USB (wired) way to charge your phone because it's a lot more efficient and 4000 mAh won't take you very far if you go the Qi way.

This is my second Anker E1.  Having purchased one before I knew what to expect.  It's a simple device that does exactly what it needs to do...charge mobile devices.  It works well with my iPhone 6, Lumia 920, Lenovo Miix tablet, Kindle Fire HD 6, and iPod minis.  I also used it to power a SanDisk Wireless Flash Drive to extend streaming time on a long trip.  It's portable, lightweight and charges the devices quickly.

The E1 is encased in a smooth glossy plastic covering.  The seams are rounded and close together.  It looks and feels like a premium product even though it is affordably priced.  The included USB cable is 27" long which is a little on the short side but it can use any USB cable to charge.  There isn't a wall charger included but I use my iPhone charger and it does the job quickly.  The 4 LED battery indicator gives a fairly accurate idea of how much battery is left when using it.

This battery is a great mix of functionality and portability.  It's ideal to have for a quick recharge of a phone or other small portable device when an outlet is not available.  If you are a road warrior and need to charge several devices from the battery during a single day then you may need to get something with a larger capacity.

I was supplied this sample for test and evaluation, and I promise that my review is fair and honest.

I like these portable chargers, really starting to like them more and more. I have 2 children, each has a phone, a tablet, me and my wife each have our phones, one tablet at the moment, then multiple sets of  head phones and bluetooth speakers we use for our workdays. That is a lot to charge, and it seems like something is constantly needing to be plugged in to charge. With these battery packs, if provides you some flexibility to not be tied to the wall or moving couches to plug in the always too short cord.

However the downside is it has been a trade off with most units, portability for loss of charge speed.
Aukey has addressed this however with their quick charge line of portable power banks. This really does charge my s5 nearly as fast as actual wall charger does, which is absolutely awesome.

It has a very nice silver matte finish and nice size considering the massive amount of battery it has. I can easily get 4 charges out of this before it needs to recharge. It is also very convenient for me as i work in construction, and sometimes, such as right now, i am working in a house without power at the moment. And the only thing worse than that is working with not power and therefor no music.

This charges in a respectable 4ish hours from nearly dead to full charge, typically i just plug it in overnight.

 I also like that i don't have to baby sit my device, as with some of the cheaper inferior powe rbanks, that have no shut off or smart charge features that will overheat and can damage your devices.

This was provided to me to sample and write an honest review. MY ratings never remotely consider that factor, I rely to much on reviews from time to time when buying products to give something a positive rating because its free. However I  do consider the list price on amazon for some items to keep it all in context. For instance, you shouldn't expect a BMW for the price of a Chevy.
