I believe that you should have at least one power bank per person in your home for an emergency. In most homes nowadays, for example, the home telephone is a cell phone. If your power is out for the day, and your phone goes dead, that could be serious in an emergency. Almost everyone has flashlights, phones, tablets, and more that have internal batteries that need to be charged. This way, you will always have back up power in an emergency. Power banks, like this 8000mAh power bank from Wotech, can be used when you are out and about, or on the road for work, and more. My husband uses a power bank daily. They really come in handy. This particular one is well made, and highly portable. It measures out at only 5” long x 2 ¾” wide, and ½” thick. It does come with a micro USB cord to charge it with. It does not get hot to the touch while charging. I love the denim look, as they call it. It’s a very sleek and sporty power bank. When fully charged it will display 4 little blue LEDs. Each LED represents 25% of its power level, so it’s easy to see when your power level is down, and you need to recharge it. There is a power button on this unit. It’s located on the face plate where the ports are. If this gets pressed by accident, it will shut off after being on for a minute without anything plugged into the USB port. The two ports are different. The one closest to the power button is the 2.4A max output port. The other port is the 1A max output port. It has over-charge protection, over-discharged protection, over-voltage protection, over-current protection, and short circuit protection. This power bank even charges my son’s highly finicky Samsung 3 tablet. It is really picky on what it will charge with. I have never had an electronic device like that one before, lol. I can easily charge his pad from empty, as well as my Galaxy Note 5 from empty on this power bank. I even have some left over. Overall, I am very happy with this power bank. It works very well and is highly portable.

We are big power bank users in our home. My husband especially uses them all of the time. Even when he goes to bed, and uses his phone as his alarm clock. He doesn’t have an open outlet by his side of the bed, so a power bank is his only option. We have our cable phone and router system tied into that outlet. This power bank by Wotech is a fantastic size at 10,000mAh. That is a great and very convenient size battery. This power bank is white in color. It is lightweight, and a great size at 5 ½” long by 2 ¾” wide and approx. ½” thick. It charges via the included micro USB cord. There are 2 USB out ports on it, so you can charge two items at the same time. It even has auto shut off. So, if you accidently press the power button, and turn it on, it will shut off after about a minute without anything plugged into it. This power bank also has over charge protection, over current and short circuit protection, over voltage protection, over discharged protection. In other words, you can feel good about using this power bank with your expensive tablets, phones, and more. You can charge anything that charges via a USB cord. There are dedicated USB ports on this unit. They are only labeled out though. The one closest to the power button is the 2A out port, and the one furthest from the power button is the 1A out port. IPhones charge well on the 1A. My larger Note 5 Android phone, needs the 2A port to charge. It does charge well on this unit. I topped off the charge on my phone, and this power bank still had 4 blue LEDs lit up on it. I like power banks with these lights. It’s easier to see when your power bank needs to be recharged. Each bar represents 25% of its power level. I can charge my phone twice and my tablet once on this power bank, easily. It has not become hot to the touch while charging either. It’s definitely a keeper. We rely on them daily. They are great when you are out and about with work, and travel. They are also imperative to have in the home, in case of a power outage.

If you have a family of electronics, you need this charging station. It is powerful, and oh so handy to have and use! There are a total of 10 USB ports on this charging station from Unitek, sold by Ocean Technologies. Each port can deliver a charge up to 2.4A, and 1 port is a QC 2.0A port. This is a 60W unit. This port has a different color inside of it, so easy to see. It is the port all the way on the right. All the ports offer a nice snug fit. The power cord comes in 2 pieces and attaches into the left side of this stand. This is the coolest stand too. It comes with 10 plastic dividers, that push into the grooves on top of the unit. You can set them up any way you want, or leave the off all together. With them on, you can stand your charging items between those dividers. I put several on, in a wider configuration, and was able to stand my power banks up between them, while charging them. I love how organized that is. It takes up so much less space this way as well. Since each port delivers so much power, you can actually charge a lot of items at one time. Most of my items require the larger amps, so this is perfect for me. I can charge phones, tablets, batteries, and power banks, all at one time. This is what they said about the QC port: “The 1 charging port with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, which allow certain Qualcomm Snapdragon based devices charge up to 75% faster than devices that use conventional charging methods.” I think that’s pretty impressive, myself. This unit is larger, but does not have a built in fan. Even so, it only gets a little warm to the touch while charging. It comes with a US plug, but can accept voltage worldwide: 100-240V input. So, if you do a lot of traveling, just bring a plug adapter with you, and you are good. This charging station is even energy efficient. It received the highest rating from the U.S. Department of Energy of DOE 6. I like knowing that. It’s a smart charger, and supplies what you need to your unit, as well as, it won’t over charge your item. That is an important feature as well. So far so good for me with this charger. It is performing perfectly, and I am loving it.

Power banks are definitely an essential every home should have nowadays. It’s just as essential as having back up batteries. We use ours for work, travel, emergencies, and when we can’t access an open outlet, lol. This particular power bank is by Poweradd. They call it their Pilot P1. It has an internal 5000mAh battery, as well as a 2A USB out port. Your power bank will arrive with 1 micro USB cord. That is how you charge it up. When fully charged you will see 4 blue LEDS lit up. They go down as you use it. The lights are on the side by the power button. It’s a lightweight unit, and measures out at 5 inches long and 2 ½ inches wide. It is also just under ½ an inch thick. Aesthetically it’s a very sharp looking power bank. I love the textured design. Power wise, it works wonderfully. It has smart charging capabilities. It will detect your device right away and provide what it needs. It charges our Galaxy Note 5 phones very quickly. We were able to charge our phone and a bug vacuum, and still had 25% battery life left on it. You can use this for anything that charges via a USB cord. If you have IOS products, you will need to provide your own cable. The same goes for other specialty charging cables. I plugged my phone into a regular power source, and my husband used this power bank. We were both at about 20% power left. His phone was fully charged, where my phone was still at 69%. So, this charger definitely charges quickly. This is really a great back up power source.
