I think they are great. They are so much more convenient than always using wall plugs.
They're only about the size of a smartphone. And I get about 6 or 7 charges out of mine.
I can put my phone charger on the seat, couch, or bed next to me and keep using my phone while it charges.
Who wants to walk across the room (or around the house) to find a wall plug? And then you have to keep walking back and forth to answer the phone, check your texts, emails, surf the Internet, etc.
And I live in the Gulf South --- hurricane territory. If my phone charger is charged up, I still have power when the power goes out.
And I bring them with me on trips to other places and out of town. I always have power.
What do you think?

It takes about 5 to 6 hours to fully charge my portable phone charger from 0 to 100 percent power. But then I get about 6 to 7 charges out of it.
It only cost about 20 dollars. I'm gonna buy another one so I have two. Then while one is charging, I'll still have another ready to use.

I just bought a second one. I see some great deals on chargers at Amazon. Many chargers are bigger, stronger and even less expensive.
But I'm single, and I live alone. The one(s) I chose are the the slimmest and lightest. Those bigger chargers have twice the power, and some can charge two devices at once.
I personally don't need all that power. And they're usually heavier. And I figure those unnecessary added features (flashlight, display) are just things that add weight and fragility.
The one(s) I chose are simple, sleek and durable. And I can use one while the other is charging or already powered up. I always have power. Those bigger ones are heavy and they take twice as long to charge up. And once they run out of power, you got nothing.
The chargers I chose only take about 5 to 6 hours to charge. Those bigger more powerful ones take 9 to 12 hours.
Mine are so small I can easily carry, store or pack. Those bigger ones are bigger, bulkier and heavier.
Everybody is different. But I chose the chargers I chose for those reasons.

I used to have a laptop charger - basically a thick mousepad that held about 12 hours of charge. (I say laptop charger but I think you could charge anything because it came with half a dozen socket adapters, so could probably do a phone.) That was very useful when out and about.

Come on, it's not that complicated. A portable phone charger can be be charged up independently. Then you can carry it around with you. So you can charge your cellphone without a need for a wall socket. |
