This thing is fantastic. As soon as it was fully charged, I started using it to charge my iphone 6. So far, I have charged my phone numerous times and this power bank still has 24% battery life left. This will make long trips much more enjoyable.

The only down side I can see is that it doesn't come with it's own charger. It comes with a USB cable, and I have plenty of cubes and USB chargers so no big deal to me...I just thought I would mention that.

First thing I did of course was run my iPhone down to zero and plug it in.  It registered that it was charging immediately--on a cloudy day--and was charging fairly fast, though I didn't let it charge the phone the whole way because I needed it.

And that brings me to what sets this device apart.  It comes with this four AA battery charger pack, and the battery pack is actually a charger as well.

So what's REALLY, REALLY COOL about this?  Most likely you're going to want to use your devices all day long, and that's when you need them to be charged up, but if they're on the charger during the day then you could only use them at night when you really don't need them.  So instead, what this set offers is the abilility to charge the battery pack during the day, then plug your phone into the battery pack, which can charge up an iPhone in only an hour.

Especially when the power is out, and you're desperate for some way to communicate with other people or just entertain yourself, this is a life saver.  And in a real emergency, during a power failure, it can genuinely be a life saver--enabling you to contact emergency services and stay in contact with the important people in your life.  Simply Brilliant.

Besides all that, it folds in on itself like a book, with a sturdy cover so you can stuff it in a backpack or something just like you would a filofax, and it includes a mesh pocket more than big enough for its accessories and room to spare for other things you might want to put in there, such as cell phone and tablet power cables.

Great for emergencies and all day outings--such as fishing or a day at the beach where there is no wall outlet handy.

When I received it, I charged it right away. After it was done, I inserted it into my G4 and immediately the battery was going from 100% - %90 within a few minutes without heavy usage.

My phone charges from less than 10% to full in a matter of hours. I'm blown away.

I just bought this from a Big Box "Depot" Ctr (didn't have time to wait to purchase through Amazon).  I literally took it straight out of the box directly from the store without charging it and showing that it was only 1/2 charged, it easily cranked my car back to life.  I am impressed.

OK.  This is the absolute coolest thing to ever come down the road.  It's so liberating;;; I can't even describe how wonderful it is to be NOT be forced to fish around for the teeny tiny place to plug the charger into phone.  In the DARK or broad daylight.  No need to figure out which side is UP on the stupid plug.  50/50 chance.  ALWAYS. Of getting it wrong.
You just lay your phone on this and Voila! It charges. I bought a second one the day after this one arrived so that I have one for my office.

I just received the New Trent Imp 1000 yesterday, and last night it successfully topped off my phone (Motorola Q9C smart phone), Garmin GPS, and mp3 player.  And it still indicated it had a full charge after about 90 minutes of charging.

My phone has always been extremely picky about non-OEM chargers, either giving an "incompatible charger" message or indicating it was charging when it really wasn't doing anything, even after being left charging for many hours.  With the Imp 1000, however, it worked great and gave the familiar "Charging Complete" message in short order.

I had been mulling over the problem of charging my electronic devices while bicycle touring for several years.  Every portable device I'd tried was a dismal failure.  I tried another battery pack (a big, heavy, 12v, 4500 mAH one that had been used for my lighting system), as well as a portable folding solar panel.  Those would charge my tiny mp3 player, but not my cell phone or GPS.  I always ended up having to use the wall charger in campground restrooms, restaurants, or the occasional motel.  That's great when I'm in a motel, but I often camp out and the only outlets are often in restrooms.  I either have to stay in the restroom with the phone while it's charging, or take the chance of it getting stolen if I go back to camp.  A real pain.  I liked the idea of a solar panel, but from what I've read the only type that has a chance of working is at least a 10-watt rigid panel, which would be quite cumbersome as well as heavy (over 3 pounds), on a bicycle that's already loaded down with 45 pounds or so of bags and gear.

The IMP 1000 appears to be very well made, is quite compact and is light enough (8 oz.) for my purposes.  It will fit nicely in my handlebar bag and can power my GPS while I'm on the road right from there.

I am taking this little thing on a 1000-mile, 6-week tour this summer.  With its 11,000 mAH capacity, I'm guessing it will provide plenty of power between motels, which I'll probably get once or twice a week.

Will post an update to this after that trip.  So far, it looks like a winner!

UPDATE - After using this on two bike tours I'm extremely impressed.  It kept all my gadgets charged up and never even came close to running out of power itself.  I didn't end up using my GPS much, but had the phone turned on 24/7 and it was great never having to worry about it going dead.  Also really enjoyed being able to listen to as much music on the mp3 player as I wanted without battery worries.  This little thing is a great buy.

If you have a phone that supports quick charge 2.0 and are in the market for a battery pack, there is absolutely no other way to go. This has it all: It looks great. Its built like a tank (in a good way).  And most importantly it works. It charges just as fast as if you had your phone plugged into the wall with the OEM charger that your phone came with, and absolutely faster than any other battery pack you have ever owned.

Think about how nice it would be when you are out and about with a phone that is about to die and you don't have time to stop and get it charged up. This thing will charge it up to finish your day in about 15 - 30 minutes.

The mainstream compatible phones, as of now, are: Samsung S6/ Edge, Note 4/Edge. LG G4 Gflex 2. HTC One M8, and M9, Remix. Sony Xperia z3/ Compact. Motorola Droid Turbo, Moto x 2014, Nexus 6. Among others.

Now, if your device isn't on the list or isn't QuickCharge 2.0 compatible doesn't mean that this won't charge your phone/tablet. It will.

this thing is great. i plug it into my 10,000 mah battery pack, and even after 10 hours of operation, it consumed 30% (relative) capacity in my battery. definitely a staple for my camping trips for hot muggy nights, when just a little air movement can make the difference between a comfortable night's sleep, and an absolute mess.

it operates almost silently and moves plenty of air within a few feet of itself. i haven't hit myself on it hard, but i assume it doesn't feel good, as the blades are rigid.

im concerned about how long it will last in a more dynamic, and changing environment. because the blades do not bend, eventually i'm gonna end up dropping it and one will break, and with only 7 blades to begin with, any loss of a blade will cause an imbalance, vibration, noise, and additional fatigue to the unit's moving parts. (this hasn't happened to me personally,i am extrapolating data from past experience and knowledge)

the neck stays in place well, and the product as a whole seems well manufactured.

if you need a small, efficient, quiet means of cooling either yourself, or something small, this could be the way to go!

This battery has been absolutely amazing and I have really started to like Anker as a company.

Even the packaging was amazing, but the contents even more so. This humongous battery is heavy and makes your phone thicker, but it is well worth it. I was barely getting a day out of my OEM battery. Now, the lowest amount of battery I've ever had after a full day of heavy usage - I'm talking about games, streaming music, mp3's, videos, FB, etc... was 49%. So if I really wanted to, I could use an app that helps with battery and possibly even stretch this thing out for an entire week. But hey, we get this so we can do fun stuff with our phones, so why would I want to do that? =)

Fantastic product, you won't be sorry.

This is a great charger!! When I received it, it was already fully charged and included everything as advertised.  I purposely let my phone battery go almost completely dead just to see how fast this charger would be able to charge it. I went to work all day and didn't charge my phone because I knew that this charger was waiting for me when I got home.  In no time at all, my cell phone was back at 100%.  I especially like the soft pink color of the charger too...its just my style.  Although, now that I'm thinking about it, I probably should've gotten a more nuetral color so my boys can also use it.

The contents included were the Mini Portable Charger (in Pink) 3200 mAh, directions, a USB cable that you use to connect the unit to your phone to charge and a small cloth.  picture is attached.

My commute is over 2 hours each way, and my phone would often go dead by the time I was on my way home from work.  There's not always an outlet to plug my charger so I already know that this is a LIFESAVER.  I only wish I got this sooner, I really would've saved myself the stress and headache of having a dead phone in an emergency situation.  In fact, this is something that everyone should travel with because you just never know when you will need it.  I'm so happy I have this now, I will make sure that this stays charged and with me at all times.

Awesome charger.  QuickCharge support actually really works, charges my phone insanely fast, over 1% per minute, so a quick 20min drive will add 25-30% to my battery.

Absolutely the BEST portable battery charger I have ever used or heard of. I've owned mine for a year this month, used it on days far from chargers and on about 8-10 trips - around 100-ish days, and sometimes I swear it is magically not losing any power as I charge from it.... Recently, with the Pokemon GO phenomenon happening, four friends and I went out hunting for a whole a day - our phones were constantly on and draining battery FAST (Note 4, full to 0% in about 3 hours). Normal cheap external chargers, or even plugged into a wall, can't even charge a Samsung fast enough for the amount of battery this app uses, and the phone will die while charging... while THIS charger, WHILE playing Pokemon GO, will charge my Note 4 about 20%+ in 3-4 hours. That's basically witchcraft. I had my four other friends plugged into it interchangeably as we explored; and when their phones nearly fully charged, this battery indicated it still had about 50% life left in it (2 out of 4 lights)!!
My pack also still looks brand new - no scratches or scuffs, flashlight still works, not a single sign of age at all in appearance or performance.
Absolutely no better battery pack company on the market. This is the ultimate. This is the Mewtwo of battery packs.
(I'm picking up a second one soon specifically to use when I'm with friends playing Pokemon GO, and thought I'd finally write out a review for my first one.)

This thing is awesome! Had for over a month before it was truly needed.  Out with friend on a Friday night a few weeks back.  2 of my friends phones were almost dead. Mine and my 3 friend were about 50%. This Innogie charged both my friends phones and then me and my other friend decided to use it to charge our phones too.  All 4 phones were charged back to 100% and this Innogie still had 1 power cell on solid, meaning it still had enough charge to keep going.  Best $20 I have ever spent.  Also, 2 of my friends went out and order this same Innogie from Amazon.

The absolute best charger I've ever owned and I've owned several.  There are a lot of long reviews with detailed technical specs (and I usually read those when I buy) but I realize there are others who appreciate just the high points, so here they are:
Pros:
* Recharges FAST!  I've never been able to completely drain it, but charging for 25% to full took me only about 4 1/2 hours using the dual cable option.  This feature is brilliant!
* Charges devices FAST!  Charges my phone as fast as my Samsung Rapid Charge adapter, and that's saying something.  My huge 3000mAh batter can easily go from 25% to fully charged in under and hour.
* Capacity: My husband (Galaxy S6) and I (Galaxy Note 5) charged our phones all day, every day while away from the room while on vacation in New Orleans recently, and topped off a friend's phone a few times, and the charger didn't get below 50%.  We were using our phones pretty heavily (GPS/Video/camera/flashlight function) so the power draw was substantial.  I've also charged my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 tablet on it from 0% to 100^, without draining the bank more than 1/2. Crazy.
* Four ports - while I never needed more than 3 on our trip (mine, the hubby's and a friend's phone at the same time) it is nice to have the option to power several devices.
* Flashlight - While I've only used it a few times, I guess it's a pro.  I don't find it necessary, but since it's come in handy twice, I'm not going to complain.
* Auto on charging. Unlike most battery banks, you don't have to turn this one on, it charges immediately, so there is less messing around with your charger/devices when you need to refuel.  I didn't realize how awesome this feature was until I got it.  Fantastic.

Cons:
* Size - It's large and heavy, but I just stick it in my purse and never think about it.  I carried it in my small shoulder bag on vacation and never noticed it, but it's definitely too big to put in your pocket.  No points deducted as the size was fine for what I needed.
* Flashlight - Kind of a pro, but the light is dim and the 'double click to turn on/off' is confusing.  Could be implemented better, but let's face it, you're not buying it for the flashlight, so no points deducted by me.

Overall, I don't think you'll be able to find a better functioning battery bank for the price.

UPDATE 4 months later.
This power bank continues to run reliably and charges our phones without problem.  I'm seriously considering getting another one so I can keep one in my purse and one on the charger (sometimes I forget to take it out and recharge it, so I accidentally leave it at home) so I can have one at all times.  I still recommend this charger if you have power-hungry devices and are constantly on the go.

UPDATE: 6 months later
Still going strong.  I was really impressed that, on a flight back from Connecticut last week, it charged my husband's cell phone, my son's cell phone, my cell phone and my tablet all back to 100% at the same time.  I believe that's the first time I've actually charged 4 devices at once (and my family always gives me grief for taking several charging cables with me at once, they weren't teasing me that day, I tell you.)  All phones were fully charged by the middle of the flight and my 12" Samsung tablet, which was charged to 85% by the time we landed.  Still showing 2 lights on how much charge is left on the power bank!  Outstanding performance.

I love that it will charge my phone from being dead to fully charged in less than an hour.

This thing is awesome. It's rugged, has a great cell. Charges quickly. There's only one catch. It's got a proprietary input for the charging cable and that has to go through an adapter before you can plug in your device's cable.
