Portable rechargers don’t have a lot of specs. When it comes right down to it, it’s all about three things: Capacity, size & weight, and charging time. Sure, you can throw in extras like LED lights, more USB ports and fancy materials or design, but from a practical point of view, these are secondary.
By now you’ve probably noticed that companies like Apple are hell-bent on making their smartphones thinner with each new model. And while that’s a laudable goal design-wise, it comes at the cost of a feature most of us would actually prefer: Longer battery life. Day-to-day, having a phone that konks out in the evening isn’t the end of the world--there’s often plenty of opportunities to top up the battery, whether it’s at home, in the car or at the office.
