Fantastic power bank from Selectec

My phone has a tiny 1900mAh battery for which it uses to power its power-hungry Kit-Kat ROM. Needless to say, the battery life is awful. Although I can swap the battery, something I do quite frequently as I have an extra, having something beefier is always nice.

This battery pack is beefier... much beefier! I generally keep it in my backpack and when my phone is low on battery I'll plug it in during a lecture when I'm not using my phone anyway. (No one would EVER use their phone in class... right?) When I'm on the go, this pack fits in my cargo shorts pockets along with my phone. Although my phone is pretty small (4.3" display) this battery pack is about the size of a more normal sized smart phone, but not really bigger. So that's nice! The faux stitching around the edge give this power bank a quarky character that I like. The battery life seems consistent with 10,000mAh based on the amount of charges I can get from it, although I cannot be totally sure as I don't have the proper equipment or time to accurately check it, but here's how I figure:

Selectec 10000mAh power bank, buy here.

My phone's battery is fairly new, it's 1900mAh which is ~2000mAh. 10,000mAh/2000mAh=5 charges. So in theory I should be able to get a little over five charges. However, given my phone is still on while charging most of the time, and that draws power that isn't going to charging the battery, that number will likely be below five charges. I seem to be able to get around three to four charges out of it, which given how much power my phone sometimes draws just running, seems about right.

Overall, this seems to be a pretty nice power bank, and I'm definitely getting good use out of it!
