DISCLOSURE: Sabrent provided me with this product to review.



There's not much to say about this product other than that it works. Plug in a tablet or smartphone and it will start charging the device at the same rate as its wall plug. It has adequate capacity to charge an iPhone or similar mobile phone several times and bring a dead tablet maybe to 80% or thereabouts.



The battery has two USB ports, one that supplies 1 amp of power, the other 2.1 (for tablets and other larger devices). My initial testing found that both plugs would not work simultaneously, but subsequent tests worked fine. Both an iPhone 5s and iPad Air reported they were receiving ample power to charge.



The battery itself charges at a slower 1 amp rate. I recommend plugging this in well in advance of any travel to ensure it has enough charge for your devices. It will only work with devices that charge via USB.



As noted in the other reviews the documentation is very poorly translated. But given that this thing isn't all that complicated to use it's excused - especially at this price point.
