Belkin arrive a little late to the scene with this new addition to their power bank range as there are already a lot of comparable offers on the market.There are, in fact, many similarly specced units, some costing considerably less.For example, the AUKEY Mini Power Bank 5000mAh, Portable Charger Slimline Dual Port, Battery Pack for iPhone X/ 8/ 8 Plus, Samsung Galaxy Note 8/ S8/ S8+ and More sports almost the same features - charge indicator, same capacity, protection against overload, excess heat etc. - for a third of the price. However, it only has a 1.0A input, so it will take twice as long to recharge the power bank and at 2.0A output it will take 20% more time to charge your device.You could also consider something like the Portable Charger,OKZU 5000mAh Ultra Slim, Lightweight Power Bank,External Battery Pack with USB Type-C Input & Output for iPhone, Samsung, Nexus and More (Black). Again, at less than a third the price, it almost matches (at 87%) the Belkin for device charge speed, can recharge as fast and can also charge two devices at once. It is unclear, however, what protections are there for your devices.The Belkin does have some less visible benefits;The additional USB-C adapter increases the cost by £5-£7 (depending on where you look) but is a rare offering that will save you space if you need USB-C. Adapters are always surprisingly expensive, so these prices seem about right.The Belkin uses Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) cells, a more modern take on the cheaper Lithium Ion (Li-ion) variety. A good article from one of Belkin’s competitors can be found on the RavPower blog, but the basic conclusion is that Li-Po batteries are smaller and more robust (i.e. safer, less likely to combust), at the expense of capacity, lifetime and cost.Looking at the competition in more detail reveals price comparisons that are more aligned to equivalent offers, especially if you look at the 5000mAh Belkin without the USB-C adapter. But a 3:1 price difference could be hard to justify.To recap, when choosing you power bank, consider the following.**Input Amps - this determines how quickly your power bank is recharged (a larger number equates to opening a tap more to fill a bucket of water. Double the flow, half the time to fill the bucket). If the bank can charge more than one device, then the Amps are split between them and they’ll charge half as fast as a single device.**Output Amps - this impacts how quickly your device charges, up to a maximum for the specific device (most modern phones can take quite a lot). Some devices, like iPads, need more Amps in order to charge in the first place.**mAh - The key thing here is the ‘h’, which is Hours. Basically for how long the battery can discharge for until it has run out. Obviously more capacity also means more cells, meaning more volume and more weight, so you need to balance your requirements against what you want to carry. Lithium Polymer batteries should provide a benefit here as they’re smaller and lighter.**Protective circuits - this is a hard one, since all Lithium batteries need to regulate themselves to protect themselves against overheating, fire and even explosions. The question is how much effort is spent on protecting your device? In theory, internal protections equate to external ones too, but the tolerances might not be the same. Belkin’s guarantee that protects your device shows some commitment on their part to ensure your devices are safe.**Weight and size - Already mentioned in the may section, if you want a smaller/lighter power bank, you need to pay for the smaller Li-Po batteries or sacrifice outright capacity.I think that covers it (colour and shape aside).The thing about the Belkin is that they’ve come to a fairly good balance in terms of performance, size and technology that isn’t immediately apparent. In my opinion, Lithium Polymer batteries are probably not necessary for this capacity of power bank, it is so small the benefits appear negligible. It's strongest attribute is the fast changing from the 2.4A output.A good all rounder and a brand that you can put some faith in. It is up to you whether you need multiple charge ports or if you put faith in other, less well known, brands.

The Belkin PocketPower is a stylish black slab that is slightly smaller in length and width than an iPhone 6/7 and a tad deeper. The only markings on it are the belkin name and their dotted figure logo in grey. It's a little heavier than the phone but entirely portable with its smoothly rounded corners. There are two USB ports, a micro port for charging the battery pack and a type A USB for connecting to the device to be charged. A 7" cable is supplied for charging the PocketPower.Straight out of the box I connected it to my iPhone 7, which had around 35% charge at the time and it charged it to 100% in a little over an hour. I then connected the charging port to my desktop PCs USB3 socket and left it to fully charge.There are four green LEDs on the edge that show charging progress. Unfortunately I was working at the time and didn't notice exactly how long it took, but 4 hours later it had all 4 LEDs lit.Once the battery pack was fully charged I used it to charge up my work BlackBerry from about 1/5th power to full charge, followed by my iPhone again (the following day) and my iPad Pro from 80% to 100%. There were 2 LEDs still lit after all this so I decided to try and charge my AKG Y50BT headphones. The red light came on on the headphones to indicate charging but when I checked 10 minutes later the lights had gone off on both the headphones and the PocketPower. Trying again lead to the same result, but the PowerBank still had some juice left so I assume this was the voltage fluctuation circuitry kicking in. Final test was a Kindle PaperWhite, which charged up with no issues.At no time during all this charging did the Belkin become hot. There are a number of claims made about safety features, of which the heat control is one. The shutoff in the event of voltage issues, which I think is what happened with the bluetooth headphones, is another. Normally you have to take the manufacturers word for such features but it looks like they are true. Possibly this is what contributes to the price, as a comparison of competing products shows many cheaper alternatives from smaller companies.I was quite impressed by the device though the price may deter some, but the safety features may be enough to persuade you.

There are many “powerbanks” on the market from various reputable manufacturers – I’m thinking of Anker, EasyAcc, Amazon Basics and , of course, PortaPow who specialise in charging solutions – and Belkin are certainly among the better solution providers. The price of these units has come down dramatically over the last couple of years and they are a very popular item to use in an emergency or when it’s inconvenient to plug into the mains. However, this one is, in my opinion, a bit pricier than many others. The equivalent Anker one is just £12.99 and there are others that are even cheaper.The Belkin charger is roughly the same size as an iPhone 4 – just a shade longer – and comes with a short charging lead.The lead is about 22 CM long and has the traditional USB Type Micro-B to fit into the Belkin unit. I think the cable’s a bit short but it’s not a problem. There are longer ones on the market at a low cost if you want one. The unit itself feels robust. It has a nice matt finish with the Belkin logo and like other powerbanks there’s a series of four lights to show you (a) that it’s on and (b) how much power it has left. The one I was sent to test had two of the four lights on when I switched it on (half charged) so I plugged it in with a USB Charger Power Monitor attached. This shows the charging rate and the unit was receiving 1.9 amps which is pretty good. To get the other two lights to switch on and indicate that the unit was fully charged took just a couple of hours.It’s a neat little unit, small enough to carry in your bag or pocket and can even recharge your phone while you’re travelling. I have seen smaller, neater units (the Anker Astro E1 5200 mAh unit) but the Belkin is as powerful as any other and does the job right. My iPhone 6 was half charged and the Belkin charged it up again with the loss of only one of the four lights, so I’m guessing it could have done it four times. The manufacturer’s description that it will charge your Smartphone 1.5 times is, I think, referring to a phone that’s absolutely dead while most people charge theirs when the phone gets down to 50% or 60%. In that case this little unit will help you out several times.I’ve only given it four stars because of the price.

I was expecting this portable battery from Belkin to be slim and lightweight but instead it is quite large a heavy, the battery weighs in at 380gms and around 150mm(6in) x 65mm(2.5in) x 20mm(0.75in), I would not be carrying this around in a trouser pocket for too long!! The build quality is excellent as expected from Belkin, the case is a hard smooth black plastic.The battery is simple to use and by just plugging a device in to either of the 2 USB ports or two devices simultaneously the battery will charge them, it can supply a total of 3.4 amps of output current over the two USB output ports, so sufficient to charge all USB devices.I have charged two phones from this battery so far and the LED power indicators on the side of the battery still indicate it is full. The LED's also flash when charging the battery itself to show charging level. To charge the battery you simply use the short micro-USB lead supplied to charge from a mains USB charger or any device with a USB port.I've had other portable battery devices in the past and all of them have been smaller that this one from Belkin but the real bonus with the Belking battery is it's capacity and at 15000mha it will charge an average phone 4 to 5 times before needing to be charged it's self, it could be a life saver in some situations where power is needed and remember it's not only for charging but can also be used for powering USB devices such as lights, fans ETC, so has endless uses and camping or hiking are obvious ones.Belking have a connected equipment warranty of £1500 if this battery should fail and damage equipment that happens to be connected to the battery. at the time. This battery is also certified safe as it has monitoring circuits that protect from short circuit, over current and over charging, these are especially crucial due to the battery being Li-Ion and potentially very dangerous with short circuited.I like this battery but for me it has one big draw back and that is it's size and weight and this could be a deal breaker for some people but the other side of the coin is this battery large capacity and is made by a quality name.

The problem with testing a product like this Belkin power pack is that it's almost impossible to evaluate one of the most important factors - how long it will last. I've owned more than half a dozen different power packs over the last few years and the annoying thing is when they eventually cease working. I've owned one Belkin power pack before and it's still going strong which is why I've been generous with the number of stars I've given this new device.This power pack is surprisingly large for a 10,000 mAh battery. I recently ordered my sister a 20,000 mAh pack from Amazon that cost less than this one and was thinner. It's hard to explain the difference - the only reason I can see is that Belkin are a bigger brand.This is not an inconvenient battery pack to own,partly because it's a very similar shape to my Moto G5S phone. My phone is 183 grams and this power pack is 240 grams - a bit heavier than you'd want to carry around in a pocket.Some manufacturers add features like LED torches to their power packs, and Android-specific and Apple-specific charging points, but not this Belkin. I never really believed those special ports were any different. But what probably is different is when a power pack has one 1 Amp port and one 2 Amp port. But both ports on this Belkin power pack are identical, providing 2.4 Amps each. This means you can charge two devices at once - not something I've ever had to do, but nice to know it's possible.There's not a lot else to say. There is a power button so you can turn it on and start delivering a charge. It's supplied with a short USB cable for an Android type device, but not an Apple device - you will need to supply your own cable for that.The outside of the power pack is kind of plasticy and while it looks nice when new I suspect time will give it a few scuffs. It has four little LED lights to show the level of charge remaining.In summary - I hope this power pack will last a long time. The problem is that there are cheaper options available.

As with so many devices today there are minimal instructions included here: one side of an approx A5 card with a couple of drawings, along with the usual multi-language information sheet which basically contains warnings and can really only be read with magnifying glass.So basically you’re on your own when it comes to using this. Out of the box It appears to have little or no charge, and there is no indication as to how long it will take to fully charge. In practice it appeared to fully charge in a few hours. I used it to recharge and iPad pro 12.9, and within an hour or so it had fully discharged having recharged the iPad by 20%, a second attempt after having left the device on charge overnight provided a 25% recharge for the iPad.For a phone the claims are that it will provide about one and half charges.For a phone this is should prove very useful, for the iPad it really is just a convenient back-up, but then from the main description it appears to be aimed primarily at phone users (the Belkin web page for this charger does provide a full list of compatible devices, included here)As for the colour, it is rather pink!Copmpartible devies (from Belkin webpage):iPhone 7iPhone 7 PlusiPhone 6siPhone 6s PlusiPhone SEiPhone 6iPhone 6 PlusiPhone 5ciPhone 5/5siPhone 4/4SGalaxy S8Galaxy S8+Galaxy S7Galaxy S7 edgeGalaxy S6Galaxy S6 edgeGalaxy S5Galaxy S4Galaxy S4 MiniGalaxy S4 ActiveGalaxy S3Google PixelGoogle Pixel XLApple Watch Series 1Apple Watch EditionApple Watch SportApple Watch Nike+Apple Watch Series 2Galaxy Note 3Galaxy Note IIGalaxy Mega 6.3Galaxy Mega 5.8Galaxy Note Pro 12.2Galaxy Note 10.1 2014Galaxy Tab 4 - 10.1"Galaxy Tab 4 - 8.0"Galaxy Tab 4 - 7.0"Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2"Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1"Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4"iPad mini 4iPad mini 3iPad mini 2iPod mini 1st geniPad 4th geniPad Air 2iPad Pro (12.9")iPad 2iPad (Original)iPad AiriPad Pro (9.7”)iPad Pro (10.5")

The snappily named Belkin PocketPower 5000 mAh Ultra Power Bank etc. etc. is the first portable charger I've used in anger. It looks great (I realise this may be a little like describing something functional - a can opener say - as good looking) and will not look out of place next to any piece of modern hi-tech kit. The outer case looks and feels like a brushed aluminium body (in this case silver - available also in black and the ever popular rose gold) - but is in fact plastic. It is well put together and feels like a quality device. There are two ports - a mini USB for charging the device itself and a regular USB to use when charging something from it (e.g. a phone).On the top of one long edge are four green lights which light up when the power pack is being charged (illuminating in sequence during charging, remaining lit when charged). A discrete button next to the lights can be depressed to check the charge level (presumably lighting in increments of 25%).I've used this to charge my iPhone SE a number of times when travelling - overnight - and it's worked perfectly. I've not tried a second charge without recharging the power bank itself first, so can't comment on how far it will go - but the blurb says 1.5 charges (presumably for a modern smartphone) and I'm sure it's good enough for overnighting. If your travelling further you may want something with greater capacity.The unit is described as having safety circuitry (heat, voltage etc.) and Belkin state that equipment damaged while charging - and using the equipment correctly - is covered to a maximum value of £1500.Personally I think this is an excellent product - it looks good and performs safely and well. For long distance travelling you will probably need to opt for something with higher capacity, but for overnighting or top-ups during the day, this is fine.

There are plenty of power packs around these days - in fact so many alternatives that they are almost a commodity item. I have tested a number of these units and have not noticed a significant difference in the speed with which they charge up or the way they operate. They usually have four lights on the front to indicate the degree to which they are charged - as does this one. Some have a button which you have to press to commence charging your device which can be irritating if you forget to do so. Usefully this power pack does not have that feature and starts recharging as soon as you make the connection.It has one USB port - larger packs usually have two so that you can recharge two gadgets at the same time.The main difference between power packs is their size - an this directly feeds through into weight and bulk. I have several, varying from a lipstick sized one which my wife keeps in her handbag, up to a monster 20,000 mAh, which would be suitable for recharging multiple devices and/or over multiple days e.g. On a camping trip. It's not something you would want to put in your pocket though! This one falls between the two, and is about the same size as a standard smartphone at 135gm or just under 5oz in the old money. In fact for me it's the most useful size as it fits easily into the pocket and has enough charge to get you out of trouble if you run low on power whilst out and about.So the pros for me are that it's a very useful size and badged as Belkin which is a brand I have used before and been very happy with (for wifi items rather than power packs though). The negative is that it's a bit on the pricey side at a current £26.93 - I paid £9.99 for a decent 10,000 mAh pack recently and even the 20,000 mAh giant was only £15. It may be worth paying the extra if the Belkin name gives you peace of mind.

It's good to see a USB-C adapter included with this battery pack. More and more mobile devices are using the USB-C connector nowadays (it's the one that fits either way round in the socket). The adapter clips securely onto the end of the short supplied micro-USB cable (it will fit on other micro-USB cables as well, but possibly not quite so securely).The cable is black, but the battery pack itself can be either black or rose gold. If you have an iPhone you'll need to supply your own cable. There is no mains adapter supplied, on the perfectly reasonable assumption that you probably already have a drawer full of the things.The battery pack is charged using a micro-USB cable (such as the one supplied,but without the USB-C adapter).The battery holds enough to fully charge a Motorola G5 mobile phone once, with a little charge left over, which effectively buys you an extra day of usage. If you're camping or otherwise away from an easy source of power, or if you just don't want your phone to run out of power while you're away from home. It's smaller than the Moto G5 and about the same thickness, so it's very easy to take with you.The only control is a button you can press to see how much charge is left (indicated by up to four green LEDs). You don't need to press any buttons to start it charging your phone: just plug it in and off it goes. It's a small enough battery that you can take it on a plane (larger ones are sometimes considered a fire risk by airlines). It does get hot when charging, and note that it should not be aallowed to get above 45 degrees celsius, so leaving it in a car in direct sun in the summer would probably be a bad idea.It's a neat little battery pack, trading capacity for the small easily-carried package. It's small enough that you really can carry it everywhere with you.

As power banks go this bad boy is hardcore! Containing up to five phone charges with two USB ports it’s sleek, endurable and dare I risk saying it: Indestructible. Although I don’t recommend attempting to destruct lithium batteries. It won’t end well.While usually pocket chargers contain just enough juice in them to refuel a phone battery once, this Belkin is ideal for long journeys, emergency power, or for anyone who still actually plays: Pokemon GO.It pumps out up to 5 volts or 3.4 amps, which means a much faster charge for your phone if it supports that feature. My iPhone 7+ charges as fast as an iPhone can (as their intake is capped),while I’m sure the speeds for Androids with actually fast charging standards would be full in a much shorter time - something iPhone users can only dream of. In fact, Belkin claim there’s enough power in this battery to run a low powered laptop off, but sadly I lack the right kind of laptop to test this, but your iPad charges noticeably faster than it would when plugged into your laptop.“Pocket Power?” Sure, its slim and smooth so it doesn’t snag and fits in your jeans, so long as you’ve nothing in them - such as your phone! It’s best suited to the pockets inside of your jacket. All that power comes at the cost of being quite weighty, so consider investing in a belt if you’re carrying in your trousers!The only drawback is the charge time is long! Looking to charge your phone five times? You need to charge this charger for almost as long as that takes - that’s an overnight charge. You MUST also charge it off the mains and not with your computer’s USB port, otherwise you’re not putting in enough power. So grab the USB mains charger plugs that came with your phone and put in what you hope to get out before heading out!

As other reviews have already said this is a good quality albeit large power bank from Belkin. As a girly girl I LOVE the pink colour of the model I received but that shouldn't warrant extra price. As a power bank it's not extraordinary. My techy husband pointed out that it's inferior because it doesn't have 'fast charge'. But as a power bank in general it does the job. It's not as 'thin or light' as the packaging would have you believe. It's almost exactly the same size and weight as an actual mobile phone. So imagine in your handbag you are carrying around two mobile phones! But it's okay. It does what it's supposed to do. I plugged it in to charge straight away. Just a few hours for a full charge.And you can test it by pressing the button on the side and it lights up indicating how much charge it has left. I've got about 3 full mobile phone charges out of it and I've had it a few months. I always think the real test it when it can be left for weeks but still has enough charge for an emergency boost. After all isn't that what most people use it for! I have forgotten power banks in the bottom of my bank for months before suddenly needing to use it and what a life saver they are!I have also used the Belkin to charge my phone for a boost whilst using the phone at the same time and it still gave a it a bit of a charge. The USB cable that comes with it is very short. This is not unusual for a power bank. If you want a longer cable to charge it with, you'll have to purchase it separately. Over all I like it. It does what it's designed for and it looks good too but there are plenty cheaper models out there that will do the same job.

I have a few different power banks which are powered by the popular high density and cost effective 18650 Lithium Ion battery cells, including the Anker 2nd Gen Astro 6000mAh, the TP-link TL-PB2600 2600mAh, and the Into-circuit 11200mAh power bank. This Belkin PocketPower doesn't use the 18650 Lithium Ion battery cells and is instead powered by a 5000 mAh Lithium Polymer battery which allows the slim, sleek and lightweight profile, although using the more expensive Li-Po batteries does bring a premium price. Yes, this has a larger surface area than similar capacity Lithium Ion power banks, but at only 0.5inch thick, it's nearly half the thickness of my Anker and the popular Astro E1,allowing this to fit in the very narrow front pouch of my neoprene tablet case and shoulder bag pocket.Performance wise this Belkin PocketPower came top when testing the charging speeds with my OnePlus 3 (via a USB tester). Max output is higher for the top 3, but I was unable to test this with nothing to draw anything higher than 1500mA USB current.1st: Belkin 5.00v x 1.43a = 7.15 watts (Capacity 5000mAh - 2.4a Max output)2nd: Anker 4.96v x 1.42a = 7.04 watts (Capacity 6000mAh - 2.0a Max output)3rd: Intocircuit 4.85v x 1.42a = 6.88 watts (Capacity 11200mAh - 2.1a Max output)4th: TP link 5.03v x 0.92a = 4.62 watts (Capacity 2600mAh - 1.0a Max output)Overall, I like this Belkin power bank and I think it's a good choice for anyone seeking a lightweight, slim, stylish, and good performing power bank.... and also don't mind paying the premium. If slimness and weight are not important then the Astro E1 would be a fine alternative.

Measuring in at 12.3cm x 6.3cm x 1.3cm, this power bank is fairly portable with it's size being similar to a compact size smartphone such as my 'Xperia X Compact' which is only slightly larger which means this power bank can easily slip into a pocket.This product is available in three lovely styles: black; silver or rose gold, the latter being the colour I received which has a nice matte finish which also provides some extra grip. If you're looking for a power bank that has a simple yet stylish look, this certainly ticks all the boxes in that department.Included in the box is the power bank, a very short micro USB cable and some documentation. If you require a longer or different cable,you will have to of course purchase this separately.To charge the power bank, you will have to insert a micro-USB into the appropriate port and the other end which is a USB-A into a powered USB socket. As for charging a device, simply connect the two together with a USB cable which has an appropriate connector on the other end; the power bank should automatically start charging upon connection, though if it doesn't, just press the side button which also activates the LED lights that indicate how much power the device has left in it.As for price, this is certainly more expensive than others on the market, however not only is this product made by a reputable brand, they also have a guarantee to cover any products that are damaged when using this power bank (obviously proof will be needed); most likely you won't find cheaper brands offering this guarantee.

A few years ago I had a very-delayed-then-finally-cancelled flight while at the airport. My phone battery died in the interim and all the wall plugs were in use. This led to frustration in calling loved ones and making arrangements. After that event I went gung-ho and bought a 4-port power bank which could charge my phone on average 8 times. It was a bit big but it was also cheap (it is also still works good).This one is a few pounds more expensive and will only charge my current phone 1.5x (not too big a deal as I can fast charge my large phone battery by the wall most times). But it is quite portable (I've seen lighter-size though, and for cheaper)and seemingly more durable.You get your usual 4 indicator lights of charge status and ports to charge this or your phone. You'll have to supply your own plug though as you only get a USB cable, but most of us will have a detachable USB plug from our phones.It does the job, but the rose gold is closer to pink soap, and for a slightly insecure guy I'd prefer to keep this colour hidden (I was fortunate to also then get a black model so excuse the duplicate review)! It takes a standard amount of time to be charged and charge a phone.I think Belkin are slightly milking their very good name here as it's very easy to find better value, but they have thrown in £1500 connected-equipment warranty. But I bet they'd give you hassle at actually proving such a scenario which is probably unlikely anyway.Get it if the name Belkin gives you extra assurance. otherwise look elsewhere.

With portable chargers these days, you pay your money and take your choice ... as there are loads to chose from. This Belkin PocketPower 5000 is at the smaller (in power terms) of the market, delivering 5000 mAh of charge ... so for my iPhone 7, that is a full charge and a half of extra power. Certainly enough for having the security of a top up during the day if I need it.Physical size wise, it is a bit smaller than my iPhone 7 ... pretty much the same as my old 5S, and about the same weight. This one is finished in nail polish pink, but black and silver finishes are available. I'm quite happy with the pink ... at least I can find it my bag.There is a single USB for charging,and there is a small charge level indicator with 4 lights on the side to let you know how much juice is left. The USP of this offering from Belkin is the six point safety checklist: Includes sensors monitoring heat, voltage, and circuitry  so the external battery pack will not overheat and damage your phone and the £1,500 warranty if your pride and joy is damaged when connected.There are a lot of chargers on the market, and for the power, this one from Belkin is quite expensive. it also is shorter on features (only one USB port for charging ... no LED torch etc.) so it rather depends on your attitude to buying from a brand leader vs a manufacturer you may have heard of, and the connected device warranty.I like it, but then, I do tend to prefer simple stuff ... but the current asking price of £25 is steep for 5,000 mAh.
