My review of this power pack. I ordered this power pack on April 24th and it arrived on April 26th. In the package, it comes with the power pack and charging cable only. The cable is a USB-A on one end and a micro USB on the other and is a whopping 12” long. The power pack has two power input ports, a USB-C and a Micro USB. It also has four power output ports, sadly all of them are USB-A so no USB-C output ports. It does not come with a wall charger, but I have a 20W USB-C wall charger and a six foot USB-C to USB-C cable which combined, works quite nicely. I purchased this power pack primarily to power my Go Pro camera while I’m recording my motorcycle rides. I was tired of the camera dying on me in the middle of a ride. Right out of the box the power level was 15%, so the first order of business was to charge it up. So I plugged it into a USB-C 20W wall charger. This was around 5:00 p.m. By bed time the power pack had only reached 52%. When I got up the following morning at around 5:30 a.m. it was showing 100% so I’m guessing it took about 12 hours to go from 15 % to 100%. Now it was time to see if it would perform the way I wanted it to. My camera was sitting at 99% when I turned it on. I connected the power pack to one of the charging ports on my camera and pressed the record button. I just wanted to see how it would perform during normal recording use. I started the timer on my cell phone and after 3 minutes I checked the power pack and camera. The power pack was still displaying a 100% charge and the camera was still showing a 99% charge. So far so good. Next I disconnected the power pack from the camera and continued recording. After another 3 minutes I again checked both power pack and camera. My camera had dropped from 99% to 95% and the power pack had turned itself off. Pressing the power packs power button showed it was still sitting at 100%. Next I want to take a motorcycle ride to confirm how this power pack will function in real world use however the weather is currently not cooperating. I will continue my testing and this review in a few days. Pending…… On April 29th, I took this for a test ride on my motorcycle and it worked perfectly. I kept it zipped inside the pocket of my riding jacket with just the charging cable running from it to my camera. When I started, my camera battery was at 86% and after recording for about an hour, the camera charge was still sitting at 86% while the battery pack was sitting at about 95%. That’s plenty good enough for my purposes. In my opinion, this is well worth the price. They do sell USB-A to USB-C adapters which would probably work to connect a USB-C to one of the power output connectors, but I didn’t try that myself.
