I invested a fair amount of time and effort in purchasing many different battery bank's from a variety of manufacturers in the search for the best value for money and more importantly the best quality. This unit i was particularly interested in due to the size of the battery and the sheer fact that it can charge 4 usb devices at one time "supposedly" - i say this because the variety of other banks that i have tried have failed in this particular area due to it overheating and simply shutting down. Does this unit do the same?? interestingly no! it does not i have managed to charge 4 devices and yes the unit got hot but not dangerously hot and it did not shut down.This unit features 4 usb ports in total and has an output of 4.8 which is actually pretty impressive for a device like this.The claim of charging an iphone 6 10 times was an interesting thing so i decided to test this. I charged my iphone 6s from a full charge on the bank i managed to get 9 charges and it was still showing 2 lights and i am confident that it can handle another 2 charges of my iphone before needing to recharged. i have tested this with my ipad pro 12.9 and due to the size of this device i was not expecting a high number but so far i have managed 3 full charges and i still have 2 lights so i reckon about 4-5 charges and it will need a recharge but for a device of this size that is impressive.Recharging this battery bank is actually pretty unique, i have not seen it on any other bank to date and i have tested a fair few (12 so far)This unit actually features not 1 but 2 micro usb input slots so you can charge it with 2 cables instead of 1. The claim above is that this can charge 50% faster than normal banks which im sure you do not need me to tell you how awesome that is???? especially for someone like myself who will have upwards of 3-5 devices on him daily which need charging at various points of the day to have a bank that can not only handle these items in full but can then recharge faster than you would expect. My commute has just got alot easier thanks to this feature alone. The bonus is this actually comes supplied with 2 micro usb cables too so your ready to go straight out of the box.The design is actually quite nice and i really like the orange and black theme it is a nice simple looking device with some hidden gems. The one major factor of this unit which i really appreciate is the fact it is not a shiny glossy surface which gets ridiculously scratched like most of the others i have tested which is pretty annoying as you only have to move it and its covered in scratches and neat freaks like myself find that extremely annoying!. The surface of this device is a nice matte plastic which actually feels very sturdy and will not show scratches very easily, I am sure over time some scuffs will appear with wear and tear but for the most part i think it will be fine. The unit feels very sturdy and well constructed and a good quality build.The micro usb cables that come included with this device actually feel very good quality and not the cheap cables i was expecting. The connectors feel very sturdy and not lose. The cable body feels rigid and strong and the outer plastic cable sleeve has a nice grippy texture to it so it wont slip out of your hands very easily.After testing as many battery banks as i have in the past 12 months i have come across some seriously cheap and nasty imitations which quite frankly are not worth your hard earned money but this unit is NOT one of those. This device actually feels decent quality and comes included with some very decent quality cables. Overall i would seriously recommend this to anyone who needs alot of backup power that either commutes to work like myself and likes to get work done on the train or people that like to travel or hike a unit like this will surface the worst and give you the boost in power you need when you need it most.10/10 overall, very impressed

The Monster 26,000mAh is a rechargeable battery unit that can then be used to charge a slave device connected to it via USB. Included in the package is the Power Bank, two micro USB cables & user manual.This measures in at 167 x 80 x 22 mm and weighs 454g. It feels sturdy in the hand, in part due to the weight of the internal battery and also thanks to the good construction on offer. The unit does have a matt, textured all over finish which avoids fingerprints but may still slide on a smooth surface.It features four LEDs on the top to indicate remaining power and a power button on one side to enable this indicator. On the opposite side there are two mini USB input ports which is an unusual feature for a Power Bank - more on this shortly.On the end it has four full sized USB ports alongside a large LED torch. It takes around 16 hours to fully recharge the unit from empty using a 2A charger but the twin input ports can be used simultaneously to bring that down to around the 8 hour mark. There is no supplied charger but the included cables or indeed any other micro USB cable(s) can be used in conjunction with any USB source.From a full charge, 26,000 mAh of portable power is on offer. To put this in an IOS perspective, an iPhone 6s rated @ 1,715 mAh could be fully charged around 15 times. An iPad mini @ 4,490 mAh could be charged over five times while a full sized iPad Air 2 @ 7,340 mAh could be charged over three times. These figures are best case scenario though and likely to be lower due to inefficiencies with charging in general. The USB ports are not labelled with their output but utilise Smart Technology to detect the connected device and charge up to maximum of 2.4A each. Up to four devices can be charged simultaneously for a combined output of 4.8A which makes this a flexible performer - you can easily charge two retina iPads at the same time. One thing I did note during my testing was that regardless of what device you are charging or even if you are recharging the Monster, it remained cool at all times with no sign of heating up. This is a welcome surprise when it comes to portable devices and batteries.For me, travelling with my usual compliment of gadgets makes a product like a power bank a sensible purchase. All my portable gadgets from phones, tablets, music player, headphones, ebook reader, keyboard and camera can be charged via USB and having the ability to do this when away from a fixed power source gives real peace of mind. The EasyAcc Monster delivers a high power capacity and flexibility of quad charging in a portable and well priced package. If you are in a similar position then this comes highly recommended - the only downside to this purchase is a lack of any included case or bag to store the power bank.Please note I received this item as a free sample for review but my thoughts on the product itself are accurate and unbiased.

I picked up this monster power bank with the goal of keeping my whole family charged when we go on holiday. When it arrives it comes in a very stylish cardboard box with some good clear information on.It is immediately noticeable that there is some weight and that this is a serious bit of kit before you even open the box. Once open you are presented with a very stylish and extremely well made power bank along with two, yes that's right two charging cables and some clear instructions. The need for two charging cables becomes clear when you realise just how much charge this bank can hold and the amount of time it would take to charge with only one.

The EasyAcc Power Bank PB26000MS arrived securely packaged in a buff-coloured box containing the power bank, a well-written user manual and two USB to micro USB cables. A charging unit is not supplied, but any standard 5v 2A charger may be used.The unit is 165 x 80 x 15mm in size, is fairly chunky and is well made. My example was in black and grey. The top surface is unadorned save for an EasyAcc embossed logo and four small LEDs which glow white when in use. On the right hand side you’ll find four standard USB outputs for charging and an LED bulb which acts as a flashlight. There’s a power button on the front edge and on the rear edge there are two micro USB charging inputs rated at 2A each.The unit came partly charged and I topped it up to a full charge before testing.

I can see this power bank being especially useful for long trips away like camping as the large capacity would allow you to charge many devices multiple times, the built in flashlight would also be extremely useful.There are 4 USB ports, all of which find and adjust the voltage so that you get the fastest charge for each device, I have only used 3 of the ports at one time but this worked very well and all devices charged quickly and the power bank didn’t get too hot, unlike some other power banks I have used!Build quality of this power bank is also fantastic, easily the best looking and feeling device I have used, it has a brilliant solid feel to it and it also feels very durable,

Ideal for emergency welding! I mean, 26 Ah, that ridiculous! Anyhow, back to the review. So left it charging overnight from the nearby nuclear power station and the following day off it went to the 'off-grid' BBQ. It kept the BOSE speakers, S6 phone combo fully charged all day, bearing in mind they are both running blue tooth with barely a sweat, both went home fully charged and it looked to use around 25% of the capacity.Having 4 outputs is damn handy, as in this context, another two phones could also have been charged (we all start to get twitchy around the 25% mark don't we?). There isn't a lot to say, it does what it says on the tin with extra beans. The flashlight is pretty poor compared with a proper handheld,

This is the best power bank available for the money. I saw the RRP price and I couldnt believe what a steal it was. It hasnt let me down yet and the capacity is monster. It will easily power you for a weekend camping trip depending on your phone usage. It charges a smart phone probably 7 times. Its also robust and takes knocks/has great build quality. The best feature is the dual input which takes charging the device down to 6 hours with a dual usb 2Amp wall plug. It also charges in bouble quick time. just make sure you have 2amp cables which are included although mine have failed you might have better luck with the cables. Of all the things that can go wrong its just the cables that have failed me.

I previously owned the Easyacc 10000mAh power bank and have upgraded to this beast. You can tell right away why it has 2 usb ports for faster charging (you can charge with one but will take longer). This is an absolute beast of a power bank. It's a lot heavier than other power banks; the size is larger too but not too much to inconvenience myself. The light is surprisingly bright and covers a decent range (if that's what you're into). This would be really ideal for long weekends away without having to worry. It comes with 2 usb to micro-usb leads. This box is compact and small for such a large and heavy item. Personally, it's heavy enough not to carry everyday with me but is perfect for short-haul holidays and long weekends away from home.

Did my research on power banks on YouTube, and this seemed to come out on top. It looks good, its a solid and sturdy device. I bought it for my sister, she took it on holiday with a full charge, charged her phone with it and she said it still had a full charge (visible when you double click the button on the side, lighting up the dots that shows you how charged/ full the device is). I think my sister will make good use of this, she does a fair bit of travelling, out and about in woodland and mountains, her signal might not always be great but at least she'll have a charged phone in case...P.S. I contacted the seller about this working for my laptop... customer service was excellent,

I really like this product I've never had a portable charger for my phone. This product really impressed me, It has a very good battery life and it charged my phone lots of times, it also charges my phone at a very quick rate, I took my phone about 45 minutes too charge from empty to full I was suitably impressed as this usually takes about 1 hour and half with a plug. The light on it is very bright and can be used everywhere.The usability of the product is amazing it make look big when you get it but it actually fits quite snug in your pocket, not very heavy. All round enjoyable and good product.Pros.•Not too heavy.•Fits snug in your pocket•Charges my phone quicker that sockets.•Holds alot

I originally wrote a poor review for this product as it didn't work as it should. Turned out it was faulty. However straight away easyacc contacted me and sent me out a replacement straight away.This product after being tested is fantastic, it works as the good reviews suggest and is exactly what I expected.I was more than satisfied with the customer service I received as well. Would recommend this to anybody.It is only a USB 2.0 so doesn't charge as quick as a 3.0 but for a fraction of the price of a 3.0, it's well worth the money.Only downside really is it is massive and doesn't fit in my shorts pockets but not the end of the world.

I’ve actually had this power bank for over 3 years. One on the USB sockets stopped working 18 months or so ago but this is still a great device. It still holds its charge & is way quicker at charging than via a wall charger. I charged 2 iPad Air 2s, iPhone SE & iPhone 7 from flat to 100% as a tester & it still had plenty of juice left. I only really use it when I need it now but it’s been on many holidays with me & is one of my travel essentials. I would definitely recommend this device. I’m still going to give a 5 star review even though that socket has failed as it has been dropped & done over 40,000 miles travel.

This is my first time using so can only give you a heads up on what I know so far. It takes 14 1/2 hours to charge with the one lead but you do have the option of a fast charge using the 2 usb leads supplied. I used it to power a camera for approx 9 hours and recharge my mobile with 2 full charges and a mini boost charge before giving out. So at current face value not bad at all. You can power up to 4 pieces of equipment. Again make sure you match the correct voltage and amp to avoid the risk of overcharging and damaging your equipment. It does carry a little weight but not excessive.

Not going to lie, I bought this for Pokemon hunts. I have had the game playing, multiple phones connected on a couple of occasions now and still not worn the thing down. It has a number of benefits; throughput charging, multiple charge ports (output) and even 2 ports in to charge the device twice as fast. The small LEDs keep it clear how much power remains and the LED torch could come in handy if used on a camping trip etc. it is fairly heavy as you would expect but I can still drop it in a shoulder bag and it weighs no different than my purse would. Sleek design and seems very sturdy

This is an excellent portable battery charger. It charges rapidly when using both charging points and appears to hold its charge well. I experimented immediately upon receiving it and found that it fully charged my Nexus 7 for five days in a row. I did not make a note of what charge remained in the Nexus prior to charging, but I use it quite heavily, so it would have been less than 50% on each occasion.It also charged my phone, Kindle and laptop, (not on the same days I charged the Nexus), and did so with plenty of charge remaining.I would certainly recommend it.
