ElephantStory Portable Charger Power Bank 9000mAh: LED Display Charger Battery Pack Built-in USB-C iOS Output Cable, Compatible with Fast Charging for iPhone, Samsung

I've tried out all different portable chargers and this by far is my favorite one. It's purse size and light so I can carry out at night out and know that I have back up charge. The charge lasts a long time and the built in cord makes this very convenient. I keep coming back to this specific charger because of all the features and the long charge.

This is part of my every day carry (EDC) stash.The size is compact, slim and light. Easy to slip into a purse, pocket, bag, etc and barely notice it.The capacity at 9000mAh is enough to get me through a full day of charging when it calls. I've crashed over at friends' houses after a long night and there's always enough juice here to keep my phone going.Where it really hits home for me is the built in USB C cable that is used to keep my Samsung Note 10+ running. The cable tucks neatly away and I never have to worry about carrying one with me now. Fantastic. The charging speed is quick and just adds to the overall package of this charger.I have multiple chargers in different sizes and capacities for my travel needs. This is my best all around charger for my day to day functions. Enjoy and good luck!

I’m sure it’s heavy bc it has great power

I ordered this as a backup power supply when I'm out and about and might need to call an Uber or something like that. You know situations where you absolutely cannot have your phone die .The unit I got is not the largest unit but it will charge my Galaxy phone twice. It seems to hold a charge a long time you give it a shake and it comes alive. It has a number on the back all the way up to 100%. It's been sitting on its own after discharging and fully charging for about 2 weeks now and it's still at 100%, so it seems to hold the charge for a long time.It's small enough that if I put a rubber band around it, it can be charging my phone at the same time I'm using it, something I really like. It'll also charge an iPhone so that's a plus as well.I like the Hideaway cables but I'm also concerned about them and being careful with them. Long term they look like they might be a little fragile.Anyhow follow directions. Initial battery management is important. Fully discharged the unit by charging your phone and fully recharge the unit to 100%. That is what the instruction say.... perhaps they should say it a little more clearly with a sticker .....I will check in if I have problems. Remember it is the size of the battery that makes it heavy so keep it light by ordering 5000 to 9000 mah.With that in mind I ordered this for me and the Luxtude PowerEasy 5000mAh Ultra Slim Portable Charger for the iPhone.Loads of reading went into both purchases, so take advantage of my research ...

I was excited to have a charger with built in cables to throw in my bag. Unfortunately the way the cables are designed the plastic surrounding the plug is too big to allow it to be inserted into the phone if it’s in a case. For reference I have an iPhone 7 with an otterbox case. This will not charge my phone unless I were to remove the case. I tired to contact the seller to inquire about the design flaw. They were very unresponsive and then finally suggested I buy a different case to use with their power bank. I’d pass on this one both from a product perspective and customer service perspective.

I looked at charging wristlets but they were stupidly priced or useless in design. This lead me to look for super compact external batteries with built in power cords. Many require a separate dongle for iPhones and I just knew I would lose that. This doesn’t and it was way easier to use. I like the digital power display and how small it is. It was surprisingly heavy but the low profile means it doesn’t take a lot of room in my wristlet which I appreciate since I don’t like carrying a purse. It doesn’t charge that fast (think 4-5 hrs to go from 0-100%) but the plan is to have it just as a back-up and not primary source so I don’t mind as much. Would definitely recommend.

Great idea having the cables on the battery however the cable will not plug into the phone when the phone is inside MOST cases

I have had this device mini power bank with built in cables for over a month and am very pleased with the capacity and portability of this unit. Form fit and function are very good. This unit is sleek with a very nice display of power charged. I have been trying to run down the battery to test how many charges I can get from it. I used this unit when out by the pool to extend my phone and when out for the day or away for the weekend. I am very pleased with the capacity of this charger and having the cables attached and out of the way.
