Best Portable Chargers!

2014-07-29
YouTube what is going on my name is Kevin the tech ninja and today I'm going to do a roundup review of my top portable chargers now what I always do is give you a mini review of each one give you the pros and cons of each and let you decide which one is the best for you you ready let's begin the first portable charger is the sub 50 dollar lime fuel blast l1 56 X this version that I have is the older one as the pro was just released at the exact same price point around $50 this version that I have is two ports at two amps well give this charger four and a half stars at 1337 reviews is that it packs a strong punch and fifteen thousand six hundred milliamps and for the size of this battery the charger isn't much larger than some smart phones it's a solid brick and it may surprise people how light it is and it uses a soft touch rubber that you see on LG devices like the Nexus 7 there's an LED indicator on the side of the battery charger to let you know how much power is left it has an auto off feature so when it's no longer used it just turns off or if you plug something into it it turns back on you can charge a device by using a simple USB cable and plug it into the power source the cable that it comes with is two and one it's lightning port and USB although it may not be something you use it does have a flashlight on it as well and since the ports are 2 amp the charging speeds will be pretty decent for phones but a bit slower for tablets the next portable charger has even more reviews at Amazon with 2500 and a 4.5 rating this is the Astro 5 II charger by Ankur this charger also has two ports on it and a flashlight the first port is a 1 amp and the second is 2 n on the other side there's a USB micro for charging the house is glossy and pretty slick to the touch the LED indicated is blue and it's pretty bright it shows 4 bars when it's full and this 2 has the auto off and on feature physically is not as long as the lime fuel but it's a lot heavier and it feels chubby and it's so slick I found myself reaching for the lime filled majority of the time but for 50 bucks this is a decent charger and all the cons I mentioned are not really anything that takes away from the true experience the next portable charger well I'm not sure if I can call it portable but I had to have it in my list this is the ravpower extreme series power bank this charger is only a 2 port charger and the range output is between 5 volts 9 12 16 19 and 20 the unit itself is extremely large it's about double the thickness of my laptop and it's a little over half as long an LCD display is on it so you can see what the voltage is and exactly how much better is left and just like the other two chargers it does have the auto off feature as well now the way it works it comes with three generic cables and you actually put the tips on top of the cables now before you purchase this you should consult RAF Powers website to confirm that it has the tips you need the tips have a female end on them and the cords just connect to the extensions now if you lose your cords or you want to use a normal USB cable you actually can for your device now for some reason if you still need to use those tips those cords are required that it comes with although it's bigger it does not charge phones any faster than other chargers since it has a built in over current protection which is actually a good thing because if you supply an overcurrent to a device you could fry it if you want to charger that does a variety of different devices then look no further the smallest portable charger that I have on my list is the newly released tilt energy 2k portable charger what makes this charge unique is that it has a built-in plug into it so you actually can plug it right into the wall and it charges it directly now once it's done charging it actually turns off automatically that you could plug your device right into it now just like all the other tilt products it comes in a variety of different colors now this is only twenty-two hundred milliamps and it's designed to give you a bump charge so if you're down to 20% you can plug it in and on some devices you end up at around 80% which should last you the rest of the day or until you get back to a charger the auto off feature is great and it actually works with no issues it has battery indicators and it uses different color combinations to show you how much batteries left these colors are tough to see outside since they are lower powered LED now to rather see le the bars also I wish it had a cable built-in to make it even more portable last up is the only charge on the list that does not have a battery pack built into it but it has a really unique and useful feature this is the revive restore ra4 this portable charger uses four sets of solar panels this allows you to absorb more light then you can actually plug directly into this to charge your devices these panels fold out to measure about 3 feet long now what's important to know is if you do not have enough light coming to it it will not charge the device at all now what really makes this tough is that there are no indicators to let you know that it doesn't have enough Sun or does have enough Sun so pretty much you plug it in and guess but once you do have enough Sun you go ahead and plug it in and it starts charging your device it charged as quick as if you had your phone plugged into a computer it also has a nifty pouch that allows you to store your devices in it and also where the USB ports are located it has eight nylon loop so you can easily attach it to something if your person that goes camping or you're not near a wall port for an extended amount of time outdoors this is pretty much the way to go and that is it folks that was my review roundup now I try to include different types of Chargers that will work good in different scenarios like traveling when you're at work or even out in the wilderness
