I was sent a really cool Power Bank from a company called EC Technology a couple of months ago and finally got around to doing my review for it just now. I am for the most part a bit of a home body as I work from home and only really venture out for workouts and family activates. Most of these event do not require I bring along additional power but I do travel from time to time and having a big ass power bank sure come in handy on these occasion even if it just knowing I have my own power plant lactated in my travel back pack.
;)
My EC Technology Power Bank 22400 mAh Battery Pack came packaged nicely with a USB charging cable (to charge the power bank) and of course it also came with a manual.
By the way it will take about 12 to as much as 30 hours to fully charge this high capacity power bank from a totally dead state, charging time will depending on the output amperage of the USB power supply you use.
;)
Once fully charged you can expect to recharge the average Smart Phone about 8-10 times , keep in mind larger Smart Phones with higher capacity batteries will use up more of charge from the EC Technology Power Bank 22400 mAh Battery Pack than smaller Smart Phones will. Electronic devices like earbuds won't even make a dent in it!
