    • The only negative is that it did not only not come with a charging cable for when the device itself needs a recharge , but it took me a lot of online searching to figure out how to recharge it (answer: while it provides other devices charges through 2 female output USB ports, when it comes to recharging the device itself, the intake port is a female ‘micro USB’; ie you need to buy a cable that has male micro usb plug on one end; I got the fastest charge by plugging a “USB-A to micro USB” cable between it and a wall outlet, but I’ve also connected it to my computer- in either case, you need a cable with a male micro USB plug in one end ; this could have been clearer in the instructions
