My old iPhone 5 was the bane of my life. The battery life was pretty much non-existent as a full charge would last less than two hours at the end. I did have a Mophie charging pack but that also went kaput thanks to a puddle drop so I was on the look out for a new charging pack when I was offered the RAVPower 15000 aAh portable charger – the smartest and fastest portable charger.
Unlike my previous charging packs this is a battery pack that you can fit in the bottom of your handbag or even in your pocket. It has 2 USB ports (Max: 2.1A and 2.4A) which means you can charge two devices not only simultaneously, but rapidly and is perfect for taking with you on days out, camping and even to and from the office, leaving you able to keep working on the commute (if you want to).
The two USB ports have iSmart technology to match the input current of your device, i.e. they automatically detect and deliver the correct recommended voltage so your device charges at full speed. I now have a new iPhone 6 and I have found it actually charges quicker when using this power pack than when I plug it in at the mains!
I have fully tested the RAVPower lithium-ion battery and I have found it can charge the iPhone 6 over 5 times – charge 6 only took it to 37%, and our iPad twice. The battery pack has over 500 lifetime charging cycles, meaning the RP-PB19 could be used every day for a year and still be as useable as the day you bought it.
The battery pack itself is aesthetically pleasing in a simple black matte, silver trim finish, plus it comes with an all important travel pouch. Also in the box you will find 2 x USB to Micro USB Cables and a user guide. All you need to remember is to take your phone charging cable with you.
To prolong my battery life on my new phone I let it run right down to empty rather than boosting it before I head out the door, so this battery pack is a life-saver. It will definitely be my must have piece of equipment when I go to a blog conference that’s for sure and may save us a fortune at Camp Bestival as we won’t have to pay to charge our phones!
The RAVPower Power Bank is currently on offer for just £23.99 – you would be mad not to get it!
That’s amazing value!
I had the same problem with my five and it turned out it was part of a faulty batch so they replaced it for free when it started to get ridiculous but even though I have the 6 now, I’m always wary just in case so this would be fab x x
Hubby’s was covered as was part of the faulty batch but even though mine had the same problem it wasn’t – so frustating!!
its rare i need one of these but if ever i did it looks a great idea
This is fantastic value. I have an iphone 5c and have to charge it at least twice a day, this would be great fro out and about
We have a RAV power charger too (different model though) and I’m really impressed with it. Fantastic when you go to blogging events.
I wouldn’t be without ours when we are on the move as a family. It is ace
I could do with a charger like this, it would be really useful for me! Good price too.
This sounds brilliant – I think that I need one!
What a great sounding device – I’m forever running out of battery in my iPhone, I think I need one of these.
This does sound like a god send definitely, my iPhone 5 battery life is actually pretty good considering I am always using it x
I so need one of these. I also run my phone to empty which I think is better for it in the long run but also leaves me running short of battery fairly regularly. This would be ideal.
I could do with that my phone battery lasts about 2 seconds!
It’s like reading about my Iphone! I bought 5s year and a half ago and battery drives me crazy. Can’t go until 12 afternoon without it being charged (and I don’t use it at work so from 100% at 6 in the morning to barely 5% before midday it’s a big leap!).
Had to buy portable charger for it on Amazon that looks like lipstick 🙂
I sometimes worry about using my mobile in case I run out of battery power. I don’t have an iPhone so I’ll have to see if they do one for my phone.
I so need this! My last one that I was very kindly gifted from my time at Blogstock last year was lost by Teen! I’m still vexed about that! They’re such handy things and a godsend when you’re out all day
What a handy little thing to have x
We have a ravpower charger and I really wouldn’t be without it!
Thanks for sharing your review on #TriedTested this week 🙂 x
This sounds great for days out and about when you can’t use the car charger. Thanks for the tip off
I really need one of these for being out and about – my iPhone 5 was exactly the same and it used to drive me crazy!
