[General Accessories] Mon431:
This is a remarkable battery and has to easily be one of RAVPower’s best products!

When you open the fancy packaging, you find the battery lying in a trey-type box that lifts out of the whole thing. Looking at the pictures I have posted will help you see what I am talking about. There is a thin sheet of plastic on glossy finish of the battery which is on its back. When you lift out the trey, you find an AC Adapter with the plug for your country that hooks onto it. You also find these things:

-Two USB charging cables (you plug in the tip you desire to charge the certain device)

-Four USB charging tips (Samsung Tablet, micro-USB, etc.)

-One DC Charging Cable

-Ten laptop tips for various types of laptops (Dell, HP, etc.)

-A Grey Carrying Pouch

-An Instruction Manual

First Impressions: The packaging blew me away! They’ve packaged it as if it is a phone or tablet. This is truly high-end. The battery itself has a really nice aluminum-type finish on the front and a smooth, glossy finish on the back. The back has a thin sheet of plastic covering it that you peel off. The LCD screen also has a thin sheet of plastic. The black colors along with the brilliant RAVPower logo compliment the battery quite nicely. Pressing the power button illuminates the brilliant LCD screen which has a battery icon, capacity (exact), USB output indicator, Power Icon, and Output Voltage. The battery feels really nice and already feels like it is worth what it is sold for. The battery does feel heavy, but be realistic. This can charge your laptop and cellular devices simultaneously! Also, it’s 23000mAh!! Of course it’ll have some weight. The battery comes partially charged.

After charging the battery up to 100%, I decided to run a test. I was watching a show on Hulu and my laptop’s battery was at 48%. I plugged in the external battery and started charging my HP Pavilion dv6-3257cl Entertainment Notebook. I also plugged in my Samsung Galaxy S3 while it was at 8%. I left these devices plugged in for fifty minutes and I continued watching the show on Hulu the whole time. The laptop went from 48% all the way to 84%. My phone went from 8% to 67%. The external battery went from 100% to 45%. Keep in mind that I was heavily using my laptop while it was being charged, so that is why the battery went down fairly quickly. From these results, you can see that the battery did pretty good! If you were to charge your laptop with the external battery when you weren’t using it, you would have more juice left in the external battery when you finish. I HIGHLY recommend using the cables that came with the product to charge your cellular devices for best results in both efficiency and charge time. Having the external battery charge only my phone makes it charge it really fast! This is a really well-built and high-quality battery!

This would be great for students, people that work on laptops, and people that travel. Just about anyone who owns a laptop needs to have this battery. It can truly be a life-saver while you are on a plane, or a train, or even in the car. Let’s say you have to type an essay or type up something for your boss and your laptop dies. This battery will save you and your device’s life.

Overall, this battery is amazing! I will definitely be using this frequently. I can’t imagine how I have survived without this. I would have to carry my long charger for my laptop with its power brick and everything. Comparing this to other batteries, RAVPower has them beat in both quality and price. Having the nice carrying pouch is also a huge bonus. I can’t think of anything I didn’t like except for having to use the cables that came with the battery to charge my phone. This isn’t a huge deal. Other, than that, this battery is pretty nice and I highly recommend it!

I was supplied a unit for testing purposes and I promised to provide a completely honest and fair review.
