Portable Charger 38800mAh,LCD Display Power Bank,5 USB Outputs Battery Pack Backup,USB-C in&out Dual Input Phone Charging Compatible with iPhone 16/15/14 Pro,Android Samsung Galaxy Pixel Nexus-Purple

No BS ReviewI bought this because of its low power output. If you're looking for a fast charger, this is NOT it—don’t expect that.After 24 hours, I was ready to return it. First overnight charge? Only hit 25%. I checked the reviews and sure enough, tons of people were complaining about slow charging. Figured it was just a dud.But right before sending it back, I had a thought—maybe the issue wasn’t the device but the charger I was using. For context, I’d plugged it into a 140W Apple charger (yes, the beast I use for my MacBook Pro). Kinda overkill.Guess what? It woke up. Charged faster than I thought was possible for a device like this.Now 5 days in, still holding charge like a champ.Pros:Reliable once paired with a decent chargerExcellent battery retentionHonest power output (no fake high-wattage promises)Cons:HeavyNot for fast charging unless you feed it wellMisleading if you don’t understand its charging needsBottom line: If you use the right charger (doesn’t have to be 140W—40W might already be plenty), this thing performs way better than expected. Just don’t blame it if you’re pairing it with a weak wall brick.

First off, it's a big battery. It's heavy and bulky. Can you carry it around? Sure. It's a bit large but fits in a pocket or hoodie pocket just fine. Definitely wouldn't be comfortable lugging it around for a hike but fits in a backpack fine as well.People saying "not convenient for hiking" yeah? No duh, why would you bring this hiking. Firstly, you're hiking, you probably don't have internet to begin with, so your battery shouldn't be dying that fast anyway, and second, why would you NEED a capacity this high for hiking, bring a smaller more convenient battery pack. Keep it in your backpack. Don't complain about the size when it's quite obvious it's going to be large and bulky. Durr.For my opinion. It's a good battery, it hold a humongous charge that lasts days. I see this as being perfect for road trips where you don't have to worry about holding it, just sit it in a cup holder or something and let it charge.No duh it takes a long time to re-charge it's 38k mAh. BUT it's not even that long. I saw reviews of people saying it takes FOREVER but never gave an actual time of charging. I charged it from dead and it took maybe 3-4 hours. Which is REASONABLE for 38 THOUSAND mAh!!!! Obviously it's going to take long to charge.[EDIT]: the product is not advertised to fast charge, but you can get it to fast charge by using a higher capacity wire. The wire provided with the pack will not fast charge due to its limitations but you can buy a higher capacity charging wire for a few bucks here on Amazon. After using the new wire for a few days it fast charges just like the original plug that came with my phone. So I recommend buying a fast charging wire if you don't want to wait 8hrs to charge your phone.TL;DR It's big and bulky and not comfortable to lug around in a pocket, but it holds charge for days with multiple uses, it takes a bit to re-charge but it's a large capacity so be patient. It does the job and charges the phone in reasonable amount of time. It isn't advertised as a fast charging device, but for the price compared to other brands it's good at what it does. And what it does is charge your device.

Great product. Takes a little bit to charge, but it stores a lot of energy and that’s what I needed. Charged my phone multiple times on my trip.

I bought this last July. It came in handy on several occasions. My favorite part was how long the battery would last I could take it on a weekend trip and the battery would hold all weekend. It was nice, not having to look for a charger in the airports.The downside is it does take a while for it to charge. So planning ahead is essential. I like that it was small enough to carry. I could carry it in my purse or Fanny pack. I am sad that it only lasted me a year though. It stopped charging and that’s why I give a 4 star.

love the battery is as big as a cell phone is the only drawback but works great but takes time to charge and have to connect to USB-C cable to charge the phone will take about 2 hours to charge your phone
