    Anker [Upgraded to 6700mAh] Astro E1 Candy-Bar Sized Ultra Compact Portable Charger, External Battery Power Bank High-Speed Charging PowerIQ Technology

    • I could go about my day not worrying that my phone will go dead or shutting it down to conserve power
    • They sell the best phone cases and portable chargers
    • My phone dies pretty quickly so this is such a life saver
    • I've only used it for my iPhone and even with the Anker fully charged, it would only charge my phone up 45% before it dies out
    • This little charger has saved me so many times when my phone has died - I can't recommend this product enough
    • I could charge it completely and use it to top off my phone once a week when I forgot to plug it in overnight.
    • Such a shame because when it WAS working it would charge my phone like 3 times over.
    • The extra juice is welcome and gives me confidence that my phone will be going strong even on the longest days out an about with enough extra to rescue friends or strangers
    • Perhaps the good people at Anker can produce a table of expected charge times for the most popular phone models?ORIGINAL REVIEW: Item arrived on time through prime
    • Works great can charge my phone multiple times before I have to recharge it.
    • With the IQ chip that Anker has, it charges your phone at its max capabilities without destroying the phone unlike other guys (especially your cheap dollar store style chargers).I am a hardcore Anker fan because they make good products and back their products with a 18 month/year and a half warranty
    • Pros: Charges phone fast, can charge my phone more than once before dying, looks and feels niceCons: The charger itself takes a long time to charge back up
    • Never again have to worry about a dead phone battery!
    • The battery capacity is large enough where I know I won’t ever be without a dead phone battery
    • If I drained my phone to just short of 4% i get a good one time charge to 100%, leaving very little for anything else
    • Small enough to fit in your pocket and plenty of juice to keep your smart phone going for those extra long days.
    • I got a little over 70%, but the phones were not "dead".

    • It can fully charge two typical smart phones.
    • I haven't used this to charge a dead or nearly dead phone, so I can't speak to that, but it was great to "top off" my battery
    • Refused to charge brand new out of the box, much less actually charge my phone
    • It will only charge my Galaxy S phone 25% more before the Anker power bank dies
    • As they had spent the day at the Zoo and as dawn came realized that her phone was almost dead
    • Charges phone fast, gets slightly warm, but not hot

    • but I still wanted my phone beside me as an alarm.
    • you don’t have to worry about a dead phone.
    • some days i really drain through my phone battery, and this is something light and small i can carry with me to top up my phone
    • Plugged my phone into it, died about 2 minutes in
    • I was visiting a school library when my phone decided to die
    • I had an issue with mine after using it for over a year: the charger was not working properly, it would charge my phone for 20 or 30 minutes then die
    • I wish I could return this, but I'm just going to trash it before it ruins my phone or burns the house down!
    • Thinking it was the cable (although doubting it went bad already), I used the cable to charge my phone - no problem.
    • It still had a little juice left and it managed to charge my phone one last time from 0% to 7% and then died
    • Can be very useful to make sure you don't have to plug phone into regular charger when that's not convenient
    • Fast-forward to today, it doesn't even light the 4 lights anymore, it only lights 2 and it actually drains my phone's battery rather than charge it before it suddenly turns off after about 10 minutes
    • Works well (can charge about two phones to 100%), prefer the smaller/lighter lipstick model for portability though.
