I received a sample for review. All opinions are my own.
Our family is very on-the-go and one thing we always have with us is our mobile devices. My husband has to have his on him for work, but we usually bring a tablet with us as well for reading or playing games. Unfortunately, when out so much and without always having access to a charger, our devices run out of battery fairly quick. Now with the IOGEAR GearPower 12k Mobile Charger, we no longer have to worry about our phones or tablets dying when we’re out and about.
The GearPower 12k has a?12,000mAh lithium ion cell – a?compact, yet super high capacity battery. It provides fast, convenient charging of almost all mobile devices and dual USB outlets allow for’simultaneous charging of tablets and smartphones.
The GearPower 12k?will charge your smartphone at the same rate as if connected to the original wall charger. ?It can charge phones multiple times, almost 6 times for an iPhone 6, before it needs to be recharged. You can also?charge a camera or MP3 player as long as it can charge from a standard USB charger.
While it comes with it’s own charger,?the GearPower Mobile Power Station retains an average of 75% charge or more, even after sitting idle for 6 months. There is a power indicator button to let you know the current charge level. It requires a little over 12 hours to fully recharge and can even be charged in the car if you have a USB car charger.
My husband has been taking this with him on work travel and has really liked using it, especially during layovers at airports. We decided to take it to the beach with us and it was great. I like bringing my iPad to read on when at the beach. I was so happy that after using almost half the battery, I was able to just plug it into the GearPower and it was charged and ready to go for my son to use on the way home.?My husband charged his phone while the iPad was charging, and all the batteries were full and good to go a few hours later.?The GearPower is perfect to take with you whenever on the go and is sure to make?our summer travel?a little easier.
