Highest quality battery pack on the market
The Jackery Giant+ really is the giant when it comes to external battery packs. This battery pack has 12000mAh of power inside. The battery uses premium quality lithium-ion battery cells.
Contents inside the thick quality box:
-Jackery Giant+ 12000mAh
-Micro USB cable
-User guide
Battery features:
-2 USB ports (one labeled "5V/1A" meaning 5 volts/2 amps and the other labeled "5V/2.1A" meaning 5 volts/ 2.1 amps [2.1 amps is great for charging tablets]). The battery can output a max of 3.1 amps. I have charged an iPad and an iPhone simultaneously.
-Micro USB port (labeled "IN") (this port is used for charging that actual battery pack and should use a 5 volt/1.5 amp and up wall charger for max speed to charge the battery pack in around 10 hours).
-Dual LED flashlight (can illuminate for about 700 hours off a full charge without using the battery to charge anything) (the LED is bright enough to look for something when no light is around).
Side note*:
-The power button is on the curved side next to the LED flashlight.
Telling how much power is left on the battery:
The battery has a 3 blue bar battery level indication system. There are 6 LED's in total; each blue bar having 2 LED's.
Meaning of each bar:
-When 3 of the bars are illuminated, it means that the battery has 66%-100% battery left.
-When 2 of the bars are illuminated, it means that the battery is at 33%-66% battery level.
-When 1 of the bars is illuminated, it means 10%-33% of the battery is left for use.
-When 1 of the bars is blinking, it means the battery is almost dead and is on or below 10%.
My description of the battery pack:
The battery is amazing to use and feel. It has a high quality aluminum shell. The feel of the battery when first picking up after sitting is cold because of the aluminum. I like that feeling. It makes it feel like the battery pack really is quality. There are no imperfection that I can see which shows the quality and care that went into making this battery pack. The aluminum is not glossy but does shine when put under sunlight. The aluminum is not bushed either but is great anyway. The finish has a sparkle look to it when under sunlight. The metal is a very dark gray to black. The battery pack looks more gray than black in sunlight. The battery has rounded edges. The side where the USB ports and other features are is glossy and I can faintly see a clear reflection of myself like in a mirror but is much darker because of the dark gray/black finish to the battery. The battery is smooth all around and is not rough. When I scratch the battery it makes a little scratch that can be easily rubbed away. This does not happen on the sides, where the USB ports are located and the opposite side, because it is coated in a clear glossy material. I like to keep my electronics in mint condition so I thought it was worth mentioning. I am really digging the quality of the battery pack.
My thoughts and opinions:
I think the battery is one of the highest quality battery packs on the market. I like that I can charge my iPhone and iPad at the same time while charging them in style. I think the price is right and should definitely be in your thoughts when deciding on which battery pack to buy.
Overall, this is an outstanding product from the design to features that make this product perfect.
I highly recommend this product to anyone who needs power and wants a quality product that performs well.
