3 battery packs to your iPad (and other devices) to charge - Total Computer

There is a lot of energy is needed to highlight the 9.7 inch screen of an iPad – and even more to supply the Retina display of the fourth generation model. Therefore, the device has a high battery capacity – an impressive 11,560 mAh for the latest model

.

Our battery tests have shown that the fourth generation iPad on a single charge it can go under heavy use, but sometimes you need.

more energy over 9 hours

Whether you’re exploring the nature or due to a power failure, have a portable charger – a big battery so – can come in handy when there is no (working) outlet is nearby. With a portable battery can also make your smartphone, media player and other mobile devices charging, as long as they support USB charging.


What to look

on

There are some things you should look for when you are looking for a portable charger, including the capacity, ease of use and price. If you want one that produces as much energy as possible for your iPhone, iPad, or other USB device, first check the battery capacity, which is measured in milliampere-hours. The batteries tested ranged from 6000 mAh to 11,200 mAh.

The downside is that batteries with higher capacity is generally larger and heavier. It’s not always a good idea to have a charger with you a pound to lug. And the higher the capacity, the longer it takes for the battery to recharge itself: For some it takes up to 13 hours, so you have to let

the device plugged in overnight.

Many portable batteries can be used with a Micro-USB charging cable, so you do not need other power supply. They charge way faster with the adapter from your iPad or a USB charger other than via the USB port of a computer, but both.) Operates a number of chargers, however, require a certain AC adapter, which we find less useful. Some have AC plugs built in, so you only need an outlet.

Just Mobile Gum Max Duo (€ 119.95)

Gum Max Duo charges via an included micro-USB cable, delivers 11,200 mAh, weighs 275 grams and has a size of 110 x 80 x 28 millimeters. The term “Duo” in the product name refers to the two USB charging ports on the device. One delivers 2.4 A (for iPads) and the other 1A (for phones, iPods, and other devices with lower power). We could not get the Gum Max Duo with Apple iPad charger in 13 hours and 14 minutes charging. When the battery is fully charged, this fourth generation iPad to 75 percent of a full charge capacity.

Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation Duo (€ 89.95)

Like all other batteries may Mophie’s Juice Pack Powerstation Duo two devices simultaneously. The Power Station Duo has about the same length and width as an iPhone 4, but is twice as thick and weighs 184 grams.

The device is so small because it only has a capacity of 6000 mAh. It is therefore no surprise that the weakest charging yielded results: The full battery of our fourth generation iPad was up only 39 percent charge before the Power Station Duo called it quits. However, charging the Power Station Duo did not last long, only 6 hours and 10 minutes with the USB adapter from the iPad.

Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation Pro (€ 119.00)

‘s Mophie Powerstation Pro (score: 3.5 / 5) is the larger, more powerful brother of the Power Station Duo. Technically, it is a more robust version of the non-Duo Power Station. The Pro has a shock absorbent, thick rubber cover that with six screws. It is to the sides, corners and bottom of the unit back and protects the USB ports of the battery against shocks and water. The non-covered top has four status LEDs and the Mophie logo.

case makes the device slightly larger, but the Pro weighs only 200 grams. The battery has the same capacity as the Duo (6000 mAh), but can only charge one device at a time. The self-Pro was quickly charged, in 5 hours and 45 minutes. This allowed the device battery from the fourth generation iPad to 42 percent charge. Unlike other portable chargers, the Power Station Pro has a built-in overcharge protection.

Finally

There is not a portable charger that is suitable for everyone. People who want to travel with little luggage rather have a smaller and lighter device, and are probably best off with the Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation Pro. It is small, light, and robust, it loads quickly via Micro USB, and it ensures that you can use your iPad for a few hours longer. If you prefer more power to you, then a better choice.
