Until the battery life on our mobile devices improves radically, the need to have a charger along is critical to our daily lives. And if you are in a situation where there is no where to plug in that USB cable you use to add battery life to your phone, then having an alternative handy becomes critical. Portable battery chargers are a necessity if you rely on your mobile device for connections to friends, family or work. When that dreaded low battery light starts showing on your smart phone, you want to have something on hand which can save the day for you until you get to a power source.
And that is where the Belkin Power Pack 4000 comes in to keep you mobile devices charged until you get to a power source. Measuring at 4.3 by 3.3 inches with a height of 0.6 inches, this one is compact enough for you to drop in a pocket or bag for your use. And while weighing 4.6 ounces, it weighs a little more than the iPhone 5. But, with most of us, we are carrying both a smart phone and a tablet and need something which can charge both when we are seeing low battery indicators.
The Belkin Power Pack 4000 has 2 USB connectors to provide power to both your smart phone and tablet at the same time. And they throw in 2 USB to microUSB cables with this portable charger. These are not a partial charge, but a full charge for both devices. Not all portable charges have the ability to charge up two items at the same time.
The Belkin Power Pack 4000 comes with a wall adapter for charging it up after use. But with a 95% battery staying power after charging, it will hold that charge for up to 30 days, so you are not going to need to carry the charger with you for short trips. While the initial charge on the 4000 takes about 8 hours, recharging this portable battery takes 3 to 4 hours from then on.
While the idea of having to carry a portable battery charge is not exactly what we what to be doing, the reality is we are going to experience low battery problems on our smart phones because of the poor battery life in them. The current technology is not where it needs to be for having multiple days of battery life on smart phones. Until you get the kind of battery life that is demanded by our mobile lives, carrying a portable battery charger is a fact of life. The Belkin Power Pack is one of those items which becomes a necessity.
