CXLiy Portable Charger 24000mAh Power Bank, Cell Phone Charger with Dual Outputs Dual Inputs LCD Display Battery Pack Compatible with Smart Phone, Tablet and Android Device…

I purchased this Power bank in 2019 and it is still going strong in 2023!

Have been using it forever, use it all the time, great purchase.

Amazon has become a giant mess for finding products like this lately. There are tons of obviously Chinese-produced products churning into the market constantly from brands that have little-to-no history or credibility. For portable batteries, a ton of them seem to have features that don't work well or will fail on you, so I was hesitant to buy another. On the other hand, the brands I recognize are way more expensive, so I took a chance.Happily, I found that this battery is actually not bad. Something tells me I will never see this brand again, but for as long as it remains available on the marketplace, I recommend it. The capacity on it is great and it gives you an accurate and functional readout that tells you how much life is left in it and what it's up to. It can charge via USB-C and micro-USB, although it has no USB-C out which I didn't mind. It has the standard two-port USB power configuration for output with one being high output and one being low. Fortunately the display tells you which one you're using so you don't mix them up (although the instructions labeled these inconsistently, so I don't know if the display is wrong or the instructions are... comes with the territory I guess). So far nothing I have plugged into it has refused to charge so that's great. You can charge two devices at once as well, but I will rarely have a need for that.That's basically it. There is no flash light, no solar panels or other fancy features. For the capacity, the fact that it can charge with micro-USB or USB-C, and the fancy backlit display, this is a fantastic deal and will serve me well during travel or in the event that the power goes out, as it does frequently in my area. This is also a very nice alternative to the larger, higher output battery packs that are much more expensive for the mAh you get. I can reserve my larger power bank for devices that need higher wattages to charge or run and use this exclusively for smaller devices which can charge over simple usb. Honestly I might buy a second one as they're so incredibly cheap.

Update 10/28/19:So I’ve been relying on this power bank for two days straight, just now recharging it it reached 22%. I’m in Sonoma county California in the middle of the Kincade wildfire and without power for day 3 as of right now. This power bank is they best one I’ve ever had. I own about 6 now, and a yeti 150 power station. I have altered 3 iPhone X’s, 3 Apple Watch 4 and 5 series, 1 iPad mini, and 1 iPad Pro. It’s has recharged and topped off all of these devices multiple times before I decided to recharge it. I’ve left 2 iPhones connected to it in they overnight hours because emergency alerts were coming in every hour multiple times and I didn’t want to miss them. This thing is a powerhouse. Thank you so much for getting me through this horrific time, it has made this crisis a little easier knowing I could depend on this power bank. I know people leave reviews when they are either really mad or happy, but this is a real review from someone who is in a natural disaster and dependent on this device for power and safety. If I could only take one power bank with me during a mandatory evacuation, it would be this.1st review: Purchased this power bank to recharge my iPhone and iPad during the most recent California mass power outage due to high winds and fire danger. We went 3 days with power, I recharged my phone several time. I also charged my iPad at the same time. It made it easier for me to have 2 ports. I used my phone as a hotspot for several devices and also streamed current local news so I could keep up on emergency information. Two years prior I had to evacuate my home for a week because of a huge wildfire in my town. It was extremely difficult to get most necessities, gas, batteries, food. This device would have been really helpful, it’s small enough to take with you anywhere, charges more than one device at a time, and having a digital screen is awesome. There were times I sat it my car so my phone could charge.

Sorry for the all caps in the title, but I have seen a number of negative reviews for this charger and some of them may be caused by the fact that, unlike every other charger I have owned, this one does not always start charging just from plugging it in. Usually I have to click the power button on the side, and then verify the device is charging. It’s not a big deal but can be irritating if you forget or aren’t expecting it.ALSO: if the device finishing charging, then the battery will turn off, and the device will run down its charge again. I have to push the power button again to get it to resume.This was the most charge I could find at the lowest price. It’s also the best size and shape, fitting easily into a pocket. I have four of these, with the first two being well over a year old. They all still work great, and if there has been a deterioration in the charge hold I haven’t noticed it. At this price I can buy enough to leave them laying out for guests.
