Innogie® ELite Series 3200mAh Aluminum Portable Charger Review!

I'm on the go CONSTANTLY! It just so happens that I'm also constantly on my devices! Mostly, I read in my downtime from my Kindle...but I also check emails and listen to music. Both of those things require a lot of battery (through using data or WiFi!). When I was offered the opportunity to test a portable battery charger, I was very excited! I received the Innogie ELite Series 3200mAh Aluminum Portable Charger and...it's awesome!

Now...I've tested chargers in the past...and they've got one of two problems: they charge super fast and they don't last...or they take 8+ hours to charger and by the time they're done...you could have just charged your phone on the wall and have done it faster! My favorite aspect of this battery charger is that it doesn't take long to charge and it can recharge my phone completely two and part of a time!

It's not big and bulky...at all. In fact...it's smaller than my phone. Most portable chargers are big and bulky and definitely bigger than my phone. This makes it easy to store in my phone wallet and easy to carry around with me.

I love the fact that I can drop it, sit on it, and otherwise unintentionally hurt it and it takes the damage.

It's a fantastic charger that's easily the most convenient one I've used! It's awesome for situations where you don't know where your next charge is coming from! It's also a great alternative to a car charger (two of my first cars didn't allow me to charge!).

Grab yours here!

+Lifeguard Battery Bar Review!

One of my biggest pet peeves is a dead cell phone battery. Being away from home so much means that I need to stay connected. Through having multiple obligations outside of work and a love for exploring and film photography, there's not much time for me to actually plug in to a wall power source.

When offered the opportunity to review a Lifeguard Portable Battery Charger for free, I was super excited! This device would allow me to be prepared, no matter the situation, and would offer a convenience that would be dearly appreciated!

The first thing that I noticed when I received the bar was that it was heavy in my hand. The metal casing is sleek and black and heavy duty. There's no fear of breaking the thing if I drop it! The bar is about as tall as my phone is and is perhaps 1/2" to 3/4" wide. It is rectangular, but the edges are rounded out, so it's easy to slip into my pocket without sharp edges. When I connected my phone through the provided mini-usb cable, a light near the Lifeguard logo lit up  (blue). That let me know that my phone was charging and that the portable charger still had "juice".

The bar is very straightforward and easy to use. The mini-usb port is labeled "input" for when the bar itself needs to be charged. The standard usb port is labeled "output" for when a device needs to be charged.

I have used this portable charger with my phone and my iPad, and am happy to report that it can charge my phone fully multiple times on one charge. It keeps my iPad running when the battery is low, however, it isn't for as long as my phone (perhaps due to larger screen size and more advanced operations). The bar itself takes a couple of hours to charge, but can be done in your "down time" or can be left on a charger when you are out for the day.
