While I slightly miss the LED light that's on a previous iteration of this series (the A1210), the A1277 more than makes up for it in a couple critical ways

Most external batteries don't work this way, and most Anker batteries don't work this way.

Unfortunately, because you cannot return the device once it’s opened without taking a hit, you learn that the hard way.

I have't let it drain all the way from just charging only my phone

Simply put, this has become the best and fastest way to charge my own and friends' devices

I will update this review once I get this problem sorted out either way.*UPDATE 12/20**I originally rated this item at one star due to a problem with it not recharging past the halfway mark

Perhaps I will learn the hard way that you get what you pay

The perfect way to charge my phone and iPad on the road.

Hopefully no one else has to learn the hard way that this product is dangerous to the health of their devices.

Did not charge all the way to 4 dotes ...disappointing but sent them a message and got a new one.. with in two day

I learned the hard way.

It's not too big but a little heavy, but not in a bad way

3 usb ports a major positive as I am an avid Pokemon Go player as well as a football tailgater and there are plenty of other people in need of a charge out there

but its as good as it says

The smart charging rate works excellently for pushing your phone or tablet as fast as it can charge

Just bummed the draw strung on the bag broke as i was putting the charger in for the first time straight out of the box and the bag is one of my favorite features
