VRURC Portable Battery Charger Built-in Cable,10000mAh Type C Power Bank, Power Bank with Wall Plug LED Display External Battery Pack Compatible with iPhone, Samsung Smart Devices-White

I went on vacation for two weeks and knew, going into it, that plugs are usually in short supply where my friend and I were heading. I also knew that the ones that were available were usually in very inconvenient places. Turns out that not only were those both correct understandings, 75% of the plugs in our room didn't work or didn't work well.This power bank was a life saver for me. I could plug my phone into it at night and have it by my bedside, but not have to worry about the plug above my bed that only worked if you stayed RIGHT THERE and held the plug at the correct angle. Then during the day, I could plug in my ebook reader to charge.The downside is that I found that I did have to recharge this every day or two because it would only be able to charge my phone twice and my ebook reader once (the phone was sometimes down to about 35%, but the ebook reader was never below 78%.) So, only 3 stars for both battery life and longevity.But 5 stars for being good for travel, since I would have been in a bad state without it. (For fire safety reasons, nothing is allowed to be plugged in if you are not in the room, so this helped with that too.)The fact that this has three different plug options makes this my favorite power bank that I own. I was worried that my charging cable would fail or get lost or something. Well, the something was that my roommate kept using my cable to charge her phone instead of her own cable. Which wasn't an issue usually, but it meant that my cable was across the room from my bed and since I don't sleep much or well, I wanted my phone near me for when I would be up in the middle of the night.Definitely I would recommend this power bank. I'm seriously thinking I might buy ones for my sister, my brother-in-law, and possibly even my mother!

First, let me say, I'm NOT a tech wizard, but I can tell you how this power pack worked for me. This is the perfect portable charger for me! I bought it to take on vacation and it performed very well. It fits easily in my purse so it was always handy when I needed it (I have an iPhone 8 and my battery is very close to needing to be replaced!) It's the same size as my phone so if I needed to charge my phone while we were out I could easily insert the lightening cable and either hand-carry them, for phone use, or put them in my purse (or pocket). The LED display is very handy so you know how much charging power you have left. I charged the power pack every other night by simply plugging it into a wall socket...how easy is that?! So, say goodbye to that lightening cord and cube while you're on vacation! (There is also the USB input so you can charge your laptop or tablet.) I highly recommend this VRURC Power Pack!

I would suggest reading the details of this travel charger. Will it work on your phone? Did you read how many times it will charge it before it runs out of battery life for you?I read the details and it is EXACTLY what I need it for! Super SUPER light weight and I know how many times it will charge my phone. There are heavier ones that work longer but since I am traveling without checking a bag, I don’t want heavy.So far I LOVE THIS PRODUCT but again, I read the fine print. Depending on what you need it for. For me it is prefect!!! Would purchase again!

This thing has been a lifesaver for me and others so many times since I’ve bought it!! It’s very slim so easy to slide into whatever bag I’m carrying (or even a large wallet or spare pocket!) and recharging is as simple as finding a wall outlet - no charging cord required. The built-in adapters fit literally every phone I have seen so far and they tuck nicely out of the way when not in use. Super helpful when traveling with people who don’t have the same kind of phone as you!! Overall very handy gadget, and I’m highly considering grabbing a spare!

This portable charger replaced a 2-year-old device with the same battery type (10k mAh), but which lacked the ability to charge directly from an AC outlet. An even older 5k mAh slim device (sort of slim, anyway!) that I still use on occasion had the AC charging feature, which I really liked, but the unit was too thick and bulky to carry in my belt pouch along with my mobile phone and other accessories. The older 10k device was more powerful and slimmer besides, but it lacked the AC charging feature. That meant I always had to charge it using a separate microUSB cable. Despite it having a USB and Lightning cable built in, I still had to carry one more cable to recharge it. Disappointing!Time & tech march on, however, so now with the VRURC I have AC charging added to the two built-in cables, in a shell that is just as slim and even a bit lighter than the older 10k unit. Hooray!Also, this new VRURC model allows for USB-C charging as well as delivery. However, you still need to bring your own USB-C cable to charge through the female USB-C port. The built-in USB C cable delivers the power. Maybe someday there will be a true bi-directional USB-C cable built into a device like this?The built-in dual-head USB (micro & C) cable and the Lightning cable have nice integrated pull tabs to make it easy to extract them out and away from the main frame. This may seem like a small thing, but I had to keep a small tool on my key chain just to dislodge the USB cable on my old 10k unit. The old Lightning cable had just the opposite problem: it was never truly secured and would unexpectedly fly out from the main frame and flop about. The VRURC unit secures both cables firmly inside the shell, while the pull tabs allow fairly easy extraction of one or both cables This is a definite improvement on my old 10k charger!The digital display showing the current battery charge while charging or supplying power is a big step up from peering at four little pinhole LED lights that give only a very rough idea of the current charge (100%, 75%, 50%, 25% or less). IThe digital display seems to be reasonably accurate, although I have not rigorously tested it. THe VRURC hasn't yet caught me by surprise when it stopped working. The countdown proceeds reasonably smoothly down to zero, with no sudden leaps between digital charge values.The foldable AC blades operate well, and the unit readily charges when plugged into a surge protector, short extension cable, or even a longer extension cord. This makes it much easier to charge when a receptacle is overloaded or does not have the space required for the charger to be plugged directly into it.There is one fairly serious physical drawback to the AC charging system. When retracted, the two blade tips extend slightly beyond the curved edge of the housing (see photo). Were the battery charger's edges flat and square, this would not happen. But the current craze for rounded edges on mobile phones and many portable accessories like this one (it reminds me of the rounded edges of cars both from the 1950s and from recent times) creates a situation where the sharp points and portions of the edges of the AC blades are left completely exposed. Not only does this risk damage to the blades, but even more worrisome is the damage they might cause to a mobile phone placed against the unit, particularly the screen and camera lenses This situation actually occurs on a daily basis in the confines of my belt bag. The risk of damage was so great that I had to create a cover made from a small piece of cardboard and some electrical tape. The cardboard cover is taped over the blades, and must be removed before deploying the AC blades for charging (see photos).I hope that future models correct this flaw. Fortunately, there is a fairly simple workaround that I can use until a better design emerges from VRURC or a competitor.

HiThis is slim and comes in white so it looks decent in the bathroom. However, the charge is weak and it does not fully charge an iPad. Disappointing.

AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS ACCESSORY - LLIGHTWEIGHT AND VERY EFFICIENT - GREAT TO TRAVEL WITH AND EASY TO HANDLE - WITH MULTIPLE PORTS, VERY VERSATILE!

I love it!
