[2-Pack]Small Portable Charger 5200mAh, Upgraded PD USB C Power Bank Built-in USB-C Connector, LCD Display Battery Pack Compatible with iPhone 15/15 Plus/15 Pro/15 Pro Max/iPad…

These are pretty handy because they fit in your pockets and are lightweight. Do not expect these to charge your entire tablet, or to charge a phone more than one time. In fact, go in with the expectation that they will charge a phone only most of the way. I am getting about 80% charge on my Pixel phone from one of these chargers, but that 80% is lifesaving power when I’m away from home and can’t find somewhere to plug in for some reason – or with power outages, which are becoming increasingly the norm. The chargers are not cumbersome, and you can easily still talk on the phone or use it for something while it is plugged in. The added weight is not really even worth mentioning since these are so small. The only drawbacks are that it is low on power, it does not do fast charging, and it doesn’t perfectly sit flush with the phone’s shape when laying on a flat surface. The last item means that it will put pressure on your USB C port on the phone, which is not something you want if you intend on using that phone for a long time. The solution is to have it charging while it is upright, or with something to level off the phone from the charger (like a folded newspaper or something to increase the height of the phone just a tiny bit to match the height of the charger. Otherwise, it’s the perfect emergency power bank. Ultra portable, pass-through charging, neat colors, LCD screen with a % readout, AND no cables required for charging your phone? Sign me up.

When I first started using this and just had it on the bench and looking at the numbers I was kind of concerned that this was too slow. But then I started using it. I can see its appeal. Its meant for a particular need. I have a few different version of this type of device and they all perform very similarly. This one does distinguish itself by having a display which I did find nice.

First couple of things. I was using this on S23 Ultra and tried it few times on a S9 Plus. A S23 ultra has a 5000mAh battery. Its only a few months old. Older phones will recharge slower than older phones. Also if I am using percentages if you have a smaller battery this device will work different for you. Another thing is that these only give you 60% of its capacity. Thats the nature of the beast.

So because of its charge time it was over two hours to go from 50% to 100% on the phone. If you phone does not support fast or super fast charging than its what you have always seen. In a portable situation this can be okay if its the end of the day before you return to home or hotel and you just need a bit of power to get there this will work fine. If you are at disney and you are there from rope drop to fireworks you probably will be challenged to get thru the day. Especially since places like that make you use the phone all the time. That’s why I said it depends on your use. For my local travels during the day this is fine. Long hikes, conventions and long plane rides I will back a larger battery brick. More charges and qucker ones which when mobile that can be more important than small and convenient.

These chargers do what they’re made for – charging a phone. I used them on my iPhone 15 and they charged the phone just fine. I’ve got a somewhat chunky case on my phone and the USB-C port was long enough that it charged successfully even with the case on.

The chargers fit in a purse or backpack nicely. They are heavier than they look, but overall not too bad. I took away a star since the caps do not have a connector. As a result, they may get lost, dropped into the street or down a sewer grate, and they will get loose over time. Adding a plastic connector would have been a wise idea.

i would not recommend these chargers. The lack of a connector for the top is a big omission. There are other charges with similar shapes and sizes that include a connector for the cap. I would select one of those.
