D8 iWallet 2000mAh External Battery Review

April 8, 2016September 20, 2013 by Kristofer Brozio

Power, power and power and I hate writing intros to reviews, especially when I’ve reviewed a lot of the same product over and over again. Yes they are all different, they’re all by different companies and have different specifications, but yet the base product is still the same and it does the same thing. Really how many ways can you say the same thing? So today for review I’ve got a battery, specifically a 2000mAH external battery called the iWallet from a rather new company called D8. The iWallet is very small and portable and it comes with three different tips for charging various devices, but bet of all it has a regular USB port for charging so you don’t even need any tips. So read on…

Mobility Digest Review: HTC External Battery Bank BB G400

April 8, 2016July 13, 2013 by Kristofer Brozio

I think we all know who HTC is, they make some of the best phones out there I think. Many of my phones have been HTC brand and I’ve been happy with the all, but they make do make more than phones. Today for review I have the HTC BB G400 or the External Battery Back, which is what it sounds like, an external battery to provide extra power to your devices like phones and tablets. The HTC battery pack is very small and portable but it contains a 3000mAh rechargeable battery that should be more than enough to charge your phone a couple times. The battery pack has a standard USB port on it for output power which means you can pretty much charge anything powered by USB with it. So read on to learn more…

Mobility Digest Review: Avantree Universal Battery Pack

April 8, 2016March 13, 2013 by Kristofer Brozio

More Power! I need more power! If you own any mobile device then I’m sure you’ve run across times where you need more power for it, sadly most don’t last an entire with average use and if you use it a lot then expect to charge it a lot. Lately I’ve been interested in battery packs for my devices, one of the main reasons is my kids like using my iPod Touch 4th gen but sadly the battery only last a little over an hour. I do have other devices as well that require power and I don’t always remember to charge them, so having an external battery pack is nice. Today for review Mobile Fun has sent me over the Avantree Universal Battery pack which can charge most any mobile device, including phones and tablets and even your PSP! Anyway, read on….

Batteries: Do you prefer an innie or an outie?

September 13, 2012 by Jim Szymanski

Reading through forums this past week, several posters indicated that the Lumia 920 was off their short list because the battery was not removable. And that got me to thinking. Does battery access really matter anymore? There is a rather large Fruit company that has managed to sell more than a couple cargo ships worth … Read more

Mobility Digest Review: Xoopar Robo Power Bank 2000mA External Battery

August 8, 2014August 14, 2012 by Kristofer Brozio

Most external batteries on the market only come with one type of connection for devices or you have to change the tips. Some companies charge you extra for other tips that you may need further adding to the overall cost of the external battery. Today for review I’ve got an external battery that can charge any and all USB devices without having to buy tips for it as they’re all included for you. The device is called the Xoopar Robo Power Bank and it comes complete with mini and micro USB connection, an Apple style connector and a standard female USB connection so you can connect any USB enabled device to it for charging. It truly is an all-in-one device that I find very useful and rather neat…
