Full disclosure, RAVPower provided me with this power bank for an honest and fair review. There are many portable battery packs out there, but RAVPower is one of the names I trust to provide a quality product every time. This battery pack is not the highest capacity on the market, but at 10050mAh it should get you several full charges and the rugged design makes it ideal for those on the go. It has one 2.4A port and another 1A port and can deliver a max of 3.4A, allowing you to charge two devices simultaneously. The pack itself also charges at up to 2A, so it recharges quicker than many packs out there which commonly use 1A. I have used this charger for about a month now, and through several charging cycles it has held up. I've been using it to charge my 2015 Kindle Fire 7", which has a 2980mAh battery, and I consistently get 3+ full charges out of it before the pack dies. The tablet has been drained to around 10% when it goes on, and usually on the 4th charge it gets me up to around 20-30% before the pack dies.
The rugged design of the power pack lets me throw it in my bag and if it gets dropped or handled a bit rough I'm not worried about damaging it. It is waterproof (IP66 rated) and dustproof when the port flap is closed, so spills aren't a concern either. The design adds a bit of bulk to the device, which is expected, but it is still small enough that I don't feel like I'm taking up valuable space in my bag. The built-in LED flashlight isn't the brightest, but I can see it being handy in emergencies. Two flat USB cables are included, one long and the other shorter. The included carabiner is a bit generic but will get the job done and allows you to clip it to your bag or belt if you desire. It also comes with a water bottle holder with compass, but lets be honest that's not why you're buying this.
Overall I'm very pleased with this battery pack. It delivers plenty of power, and the design let me not worry about damaging it. If you're looking for something small and discrete this probably isn't the bank for you, but otherwise I'd recommend this!

Can someone please suggest a decent portable charger that I can use to keep my HD2 running for 5 days without mains power?
At the moment I charge it once a day.
Either AA Powered or with a large internal battery
Thanks
Hi,
I've got this one:
dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18883
it has an adaptor for micro-usb. You can use itself for charging the lithium battery.
and also, when I need more time I carry more batteries:

Not quite as powerfull as some of the previous suggestion but recharges my HD2 2 and a bit times if Im not using it while on charge.
The tips and chargers are all cross compatible with their other products which I also use (powergorilla for my netbook) and its small enough to carry around!
I'll suggest an i-walk U20 5400mAh, it charges the HD2 about 4 1/2 times. perfect for long days out or when going camping etc. also has a powerful torch.

Mine cost about £44, but it's totally worth it. I just don't trust those chargers running on 2xAA batteries
I bought this one plus a couple of AA size 2200mAh rechargeable battery, can be used for 4-5 days ouside

I'm using a powergorilla for charging my 2 phones. a HD2 and a SE W800i
it lasts me 2 weeks
it is a big powerpack but also does the laptop more then once easily when needed. they have also a half size one the minigorilla
just google it.
Hi guys, I'm taking some time to review something that has become one of my most used tools.
It's a flashlight, but it's also a power supply.
Well I have tested this device for a few months been a police officer I have tested in extreme situations.
And I want to let you know why I believe this is a necessary tool.
1.brightness
2. Aplication
3. Power
4. Confort and durability

First as I've been working in security for more than 10 years now. I've had bought more flashlights than I need[emoji1]
Well this is well above average, and quite awesome. It's brightness is more concentrated than my last 5watt torchlight and about the same brightness. Which it's perfect for all use.
Recently we had power surge and we used this device to light out the house. It did awesomely and was the only thing I needed.
Application:
As said before this is a bright torch and will not disappoint, and with its various modes it brings many functions.
1.flashlight
2. Torch
3. Emergency signal
Also this has a hidden feature a glass breaker, which many people don't even think of using but in a car accident it's a life saver, also it hides a seat belt cutter conveniently on the back but in such fashion it's safe for anyone.
Power
Power is something we look on all devices and many disappoint. But this one I use almost every day and I have charged it just a few. It easily covers you for a hole week without charging. And by heavy use.
And did I said its a power supply for smartphones? Yes, you take out the top cover and it unlocks it's main feature. A USB connection to charge your phone a side from the micro USB to charge the device itself.
So you'll never be out of juice in the hardest situations.
And to close out this review this device sounds huge and bulky but it's surprisingly light and ergonomic designed for the grip of your hand it will fit without slipping and it's hard as rock. Mine has endured hard weather, work and a 4year old kid. It has been thrown and survived in crazy situations without problems what more can you expect.

Looks interesting, thanks for sharing.
how many lumens? if its not at least a few hundred it cant replace my streamlight
Good question. Their website only says 3 watts. For now I'll also stick with my Streamlight (though it is just a flashlight).
I received a couple of items from them to test. I received a Bluetooth speaker and a rugged portable battery pack. They have been great. I received these items here
http://www.easyacc.com/508-easyacc-9000mah-all-weather-outdoor-power-bank.html
http://www.easyacc.com/575-easyacc-dp100-ultra-portable-bluetooth-40-speaker.html
The speaker is pretty nice for such a small size. Here's my review of it.
Bluetooth Speaker EASYACC DP100 i like the portable sound it creates excellent bass and treble sound quality is very amazing in a little package. Volume adjustment super simple on top and its pretty loud so be careful. even at high volume it will not distort handles every type of music very well. i like the carrying bag it came with keep it alll nice and clean when not in use. I primarily use this to play music at work and it last for day after days without charging seems to last forever. Syncing is very easy turn BT on your device and discover and connect. its that simple. sync and play. over all i like this product i don't use all the feature. But for what i use for its AWESOME!!! I highly recommend this product to anyone who looking for external speaker.

Here's my review of the portable charger.
EasyAcc® 9000mAh Powerbank External battery charger first of all this is very rugged piece of power bank its a 2.1amp power output charged up my device full with in around 60min or so. Thats way faster then my stock charger I am happy with this product. It's a life saver. Sometime I forget to charge my phone over night. This power bank saved the day. It also have 4 bars to tell you the state of the charge on the power bank . It's not bulky and fits in any pockets. best of all you can hook it to your belt or belt loop around your pants. i dropped it on accident in the rain and picked up was surprised it kept on working. Like i stated earlier its very rugged solid really well made. It also has a flashlight which i found useful at night when i am fumbling my keys to get the house door open. Over all its an EXCELLENT product. I highly recommend this to anyone.
I wanted to let everyone know about a giveaway they are having. It can be found here http://www.easyacc.com/media-center...c-7w-portable-foldable-outdoor-solar-charger/
Full disclosure, I was provided this product at a discount cost for a fair and unbiased review. With a Nexus 5x and 6p and a slew of microUSB devices still around the house there is often not enough chargers in the right place. Choetech's 55W 6-Port USB Charging Station took care of this, and now serves as our main hub with a plug for everything. It has 2 USB C ports, both capable of delivering a full 5v/3a simultaneously, which is something Google's dual port USB C charger cannot do. It also has 4 USB A ports, rated at 5v/2.4a each. For those good at math that means you can have any combination of 4 devices plugged in and charging at full speed. Yes, anything beyond that and the charging speeds will begin to dip, but in all likelihood the USB A/microUSB devices will not be pulling the full 12W of power (most non-smartphone/tablets will pull 5v/1-1.5a) which means that you may be able to charge more than 4 at a time full speed. Even still, to have 4 phones or tablets getting full speed charging is quite impressive from such a small device.
The build quality is very good on this product. It is mostly coated in a nice coat of soft touch paint, and it was smaller than I expected. The inclusion of a USB C cable is a nice touch as well, and the fact that it has a removable stand gives it more placement options. The only downside to this is that it does not offer Quick Charge to any of the USB A ports, but as I don't personally own any QC devices anymore this isn't a big deal. Overall this is a very good device that will find a permanent home as our main charging hub.
TL;DR: This is exactly the product I was looking for, but didn't know I needed and I would pay full price for it if I had to.

RAVPower sent me their latest wireless charging pad, which is capable of fast charging the Note 8 and other compatible devices up to 10W wirelessly. I've used many RAVPower battery banks in the past, but had never used any of their chargers and have to say I'm very impressed with the build quality. I've had countless Qi pucks, stands, pillows and other contraptions since first getting my Nexus 4 and the build quality of this is up there with the best of them, probably only rivaled by the second generation square Nexus charger, which is an all time favorite of mine. The RAVPower charging puck is very hefty due in part to an aluminum base, and the weight and rubber feet ensure that it wont slide around your desk or nightstand. The top of the charger also has a rubber ring with just enough grip for the phone to stay right where you left it down, and not move around if your desk gets bumped. On the front is an unobtrusive LED which has different color patterns to let you know not only if your device is charging, full or something is wrong, but it also differentiates when it is fast charging versus standard. The pad itself has a way to detect non-compatible objects and shut the power off. I had no problem charging the various Qi devices I've got around the house, and the LED is dim enough to not be bothersome in the dark. As an added benefit it turns off once your device is charged.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that RAVPower includes a QC 3.0 24W wall charger and a 3.9' braided microUSB cable. Personally I would have rather seen it use Type C, but at least they are both high quality add-ons and not a cheap afterthought as they are with many of the chargers I've tried. I initially made the mistake of trying the wireless charger with a USB hub I had, but the light just blinked red and it wouldn't charge anything. Turns out you need to use a charger that's capable of providing 9V in order for it to work. Once I used the included wall adapter things worked perfectly. Overall this is a great little package that'll provide full speed fast wireless charging to your Galaxy and Note devices, as well as work with the upcoming iPhones for all of you defectors out there . I'd highly recommend this, if you want to try it out they provided me with an XDA exclusive code XDABRAIN which gets you 20% off through 10/15 http://amzn.to/2ybD5qZ. (For those wondering, I'm not receiving any commission/kickback/other compensation for this coupon or link.)
