LifeCHARGE Source 101 Dual-Charger Power Bank Review

I was able to preview this power bank in advance before it was actually on the shelves.At my rate of comment, I was actually at the bank of life and breathing dynamics.Still, I find the LifeCHARGE Source 101 very interesting.
It solves several problems faced by other power banks.I am a heavy smartphone user and a power bank really helped me through the day.With my bag I can carry two microUSB to USB charging cord.
I left my wall adapter at home and charged the power bank when I got home.Depending on the version capacity I use, it will take a day to a day and a half for the power bank to charge.Like my usual reviews, I will try to keep the reader friendly by estimating the time and charging time with my own phone.
I put this information.
Graphics like images actually highlight many of the advantages provided by Source 101 power bank.There\'s lithium inside.It has its advantages and disadvantages.The disadvantage is that the size is too small.We have to endure this larger size due to the rigidity of the cells.
I don\'t think it has much impact as it doesn\'t really affect storage and shipping.These advantages are actually better energy density and higher cost efficiency compared to polymer batteries.By keeping the overall cost low, it\'s much cheaper to buy one of these bad boys.
About capacity, 5,200 mAh is able to charge the average device twice.This means you can charge from a low-powered phoneThe battery is in 15% to full twice.This means being able to use smartphones three times longer than before.
As a commuter, I think it\'s a great benefit because it keeps me connected on the go.For smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S5, it will be able to provide a full charge and more than 70% charge at the second charge.2 wires and USB ports, what\'s going on?This power group can charge both devices at the same time.
It\'s entirely up to you which devices to charge.However, I would like to clarify some confusion about this setting.I was a little confused at first, so I was pretty sure I wasn\'t the only one.
Let\'s start with the image at the back and see what exactly I want to clean up.This picture shows that you can use the built-in-in cord.These two lines are micro.USB ends.This means that it will be with almost all the non-Apple devices.
If you have a smartphone running on Android, or even an old MP3 media player, it is likely to charge with this power pack.To determine if this is possible, just check your device to see if it uses a micro deviceUSB input.The USB port is here for all the other devices.
You have to supply your own wires to charge other devices.This applies to all Apple devices.It includes all generations of the iPhone, iPod and iPad.The old Apple device uses a 30-pin plug at one end and a standard USB at the other.
The updated Apple device uses Lightning plugs.No matter which generation you have, you have to carry an extra wire in order to use this power pack.The two wires provided by this power supply group are miniature.
USB output plug.
There is only one standard USB output.
This means you can only charge one Apple device at a time.With two micro-The USB plug and a standard USB port can mix and match the charging of up to two devices.This power group cannot handle the charging of more than two devices.
In my other Review, LifeCHARGE pairs the built-in-in cord.I am pleased that this improvement has been achieved.For those of you who want to know, the picture below is what I\'m talking about.
This is the power bank of LifeCHARGE 2,600 mAh.It is characterized by pullingout micro-USB plug for charging.I mentioned that there is a design problem here.
\"Cable\" is a thin metal conductor coated with plastic.After taking out the wire several times, I can already see that the plastic is broken.Fortunately, we have improved the two cables.
These cables are more flexible than before.Flexibility does mean durability in this case.I will take a closer look at these things in my hand.
on testing.
So far, this is one of the most significant advantages of Source 101 over other power banks.In my other power bank review, I often stress the need to buy a 2.1A Output wall charger.I also suggest not to buy cheapFamous brand due to the complexity of the controller and current protection.
This will be my first choice-This is not mentioned.I believe more and more power banks really need to build one.Adapter on the wall.This actually solves some problems.First, it does not need to carry the external wall adapter and USB to micro-with you-USB charging cable.
Most people may have one or two wall adapters as it is equipped with a smartphone.It is true that this is often interchanged, but not all smartphone wall adapters offer the highest 2.1A current.Lower current leads to prolonged charging time.
The second problem is charging both the smartphone and the wall adapter at the same time.I got my 5-Port Anker charger, I would love to buy a second wall adapter in order to charge my Power Group and smartphone at the same time.When you wait a few hours to charge your smartphone and then wait for the power bank for a day or so, the time is really long.
Having a built-The adapter on the wall actually improves security.There are quite a few websites doing tearing there-The ups and downs of the wall adapter to identify true and false.\\ \"Is by far the best-written.Author Ken Shirriff did a great job of uncovering the dangers of using cheap shutdown adapters.
All in all, it is best to make a good investment on high quality wall adapters.This usually means an extra $30 to $40.Source 101 provides a wall adapter inside to eliminate the need to use a cheap knock-on AdapterOff-wall adapter.You don\'t have to worry about carrying wires and adapters anymore.
I found another company that internalized the wall adapter as well.For those who want real convenience, which one do you choose?Source 101 offers a capacity of 5,200 mAh, and zadesparq offers a capacity of 6,000 mAh.No additional wires and charging adapters are required for either device.
In the end, I will not say that sparg Sparq is truly independent.You still need to carry an extra cable.Also, there is no LED indicator for battery power.As far as you know, you may be traveling with a drained power bank.
Like all packaging, LifeCHARGE\'s goal is to maintain this consistent look.All power banksCharging, so in order to do the charging test I had to drain my and see how long it would take to charge.Since I emphasize not to throw away the package, I usually praise it.
This is because they made great storage boxes thanks to the magnetic flaps.There was a slight design change so I ended up tearing my box off in order to go to the power bank.It took quite a while to get the correct image of the smooth finish.
The shiny surface certainly looks better.
The downside, of course, is fingerprints.
Fingerprints and oil stains can easily appear.It\'s not too notable, it\'s not a big deal.This is an electric bank.When charging your device, it\'s either in your bag or on your tablet.
From the material point of view, it is plastic.It doesn\'t feel vulnerable or weak, so it\'s a good sign.The button you see turns the power group on and off.
However, it is not as simple as clicking.
At first I thought my unit was defective but it looked like I was dealing with it wrong.Click the button and the LED light will light up.Think of this as a power checker.It shows you how much power you have left in the power bank.
To actually turn the power group on and off, you need to hold it down for about five seconds.You don\'t actually even need to power off.After the device is unplugged, it shuts off automatically.
This is just another great feature to prevent power outages.Unfortunately, the disadvantage of this power supply group is the 1A output.Both micro-Up to 1A can be provided for USB cables and standard USB outputs.
This means that it takes longer to charge the device compared to the 2A output.The significance of mentioning the 2A output is because most wall adapters can generate 2A current.For my Samsung smartphone, the wall adapter that comes with it is standard 2A.
This means that I should expect the power pack to charge my smartphone twice as long as the wall adapter compared to the wall adapter.This is not a big problem for me because I commute by long train.I usually read books on my laptop.During this time I have my smartphone passively charging in my bag.
If you are in need of a quick charge, you may consider some of the other power banks I have reviewed.LifeCHARGE Mega 16,800 mAh is a beast that can cause serious damage (charging your smartphone very fast ).Speed is not a real problem for most people.
However, it would be better to see at least one 2A output.It took me a while but I finally ran out of the power bank.The charging test is basically to see how long it takes to charge this power supply group.
Of course, the faster the charge, the better.Unlike a smartphone, I think it\'s better to unplug it after the power is fully charged.I have a habit of charging a smartphone even when it is fully charged.
The loss of the battery is very small.
Compared to simple overcharging, you end up running out of the battery in your daily use.Can the Power Bank say the same?In general, I do not recommend overcharging.Capacity is much higher.The power bank has a good shelf life and very few natural discharges, so there is really no need to charge them the fullest.
Continuing, I have broken down the charging time based on the 25% interval, as that is the split result of the four LED lights.There are two gains from this charging test.First, it takes a while to chargeExactly eight hours.
Two is charging speed difference.
The first 25% represents critical or turbocharged.To prevent the battery from running out slowly, smartphones usually follow the same procedure.The \"middle\" or most of the charge is carried out at normal speed, and then when the battery is close to full load, the battery goes through a trickle charge state.
My suggestion is to stop this charge at least overnight.It does need a well, so it doesn\'t make much sense to do any internal workday charging.I won\'t say how good it will be.However, it works well for travelers.It makes sense to charge at night and then grab it and go in the morning.
If it is convenient to provide, it does not need to handle any wires or wall adapters.There is a killer design for source 101.The glossy coating is a very good touch.The overall quality is superior, with durable high-quality plastic feel.The battery capacity is a bit low as I see that the size of the 10,000 mAh and 16,800 mAh power groups is not too large.
Convenience is almost the perfect score as it is only a little bit away from perfection.Note that the standard USB output still actually requires a separate power cord.For iPod, iPad and iPhone users, the owner\'s expectations must provide a separate wire.
Performance is marked due to lack of 2A output.However, it takes back most of the points for double charges.Not many power banks can charge both devices at the same time, so this is definitely another advantage.
I do recommend this power bank for minimalists seeking greater convenience.With this power pack, there is no need to pack additional wall adapters or charging wires
