Review: EC Technology’s 10,400 mAh Power Bank

With as phones getting more powerful, and screen getting an ever increasing number of pixels, it just makes sense for people to carry around spare batteries. I’ve been trying out one by EC Technology, that’s larger than the others that I’ve used. Frankly, I like it’s shape, capacity, and “future proofing”. This one could easily become my daily driver, to carry w...[Read More]

Review: EC Technology’s wireless charging pad

EC Technology is a company that sells a variety of products. I’ve had the pleasure of trying out one of their wireless charging pads this week. Of all the charging pads that I’ve tried, this one looks the nicest. The unit is all black on the top, and a metallic looking gray on the bottom, as well as all around its side. The unit is oblong, being round at the ends and straight along the...[Read More]

Review: Omaker’s three port USB car charger

Omaker sells what they call “lifestyle accessories”. What they offer includes things that range from Bluetooth speakers, two lamps, two cables. This week, I’ve been using one of their USB car chargers. I’m home, I’m pretty fond of this thing. The design and appearance of this charger is fairly simple. There’s No Frills to it, the entire unit is black or grey, wi...[Read More]

Review: EC Technology USB Solar Charger

I’ve always liked the idea of solar products but as we don’t get a lot of sun where I live and in the past I’ve been disappointed with their performance. However I thought this solar charger was worth checking out since the technology has been advancing and it has 3 fairly large panels that offer up to 23.5% efficiency and up to a 5V 2A charge from its two USB output ports. The 3 panels are sewn i...[Read More]

Review: EC Technology Qi Wireless Charging Pad

This charging pad from EC Technology lets you charge any device that’s compatible with Qi wireless charging. The oblong pad is a decent size suitable for larger phones as it’s just over 6” long and 4” wide. It also contains 3 coils which means it’s a lot less fussy how you position your phone. It has an acrylic glass and aluminium build that gives it a premium feel compared to a lot of the plastic...[Read More]

Poseidon Portable Charger Review

Poseidon Portable Charger Review The awesomely named Poseidon Charger was designed to keep all your devices running, no matter where you are. This 10,000 mAh battery isn’t the biggest we have looked at, but that’s not its main selling point. The Poseidon is IP68 waterproof (fully submersible) and surpasses military drop-testing standards. With two charging ports capable of a combined 3...[Read More]

Review: aLLreLi’s dual port car charger and magnetic holder

aLLreLi, a supplier of mobile solutions, has sent me a car kit for review purposes. The kit includes two parts, both of which are being covered today. The first is a dual USB port charger that includes a small, calculater-esque screen gives your car’s current battery charge. The other part is a magnet that holds your phone in place while you drive. Dealing with the former first, it is compri...[Read More]

Review: Choetech Q3-4U2Q 50W QC 3.0 6-Port Wall Charger

Back in March we reviewed Choetech’s Quick Charge 2.0 wall charger and came away impressed with the fast multi-port charge it delivers at an inexpensive price. Choetech haven’t been resting on their laurels and less than 6 months later they’ve responded to some of the latest phones adopting Qualcomm’s QC 3.0 protocol with a compatible charger. At first glance there’s very little to differentiate t...[Read More]

Review: Choetech B617Q 10400mAh QC 3.0 Power Bank

When you open the Choetech B617Q’s cardboard box you find a fairly compact external battery, an instruction leaflet and strangely a USB Type C cable. This is useful for charging any new USB-C gadgets, but not as an input cable to this power bank. However I have more Micro USB cables than I’ll ever use, so for me this was a welcome change. This power bank has a nice black aluminium shell that shoul...[Read More]

Review: aLLreLi’s Dual USB Car Charger

aLLreLi is a consumer electronics retailer. I was offered the opportunity to review their Dual USB Car Charger, and given that I always charge my phone while in the car, I’m always interested in seeing what’s out there. Its appearance is simple. The unit is mostly black, with some white on the top, where the brand name is printed in gray as well. Save for the metal contacts, the exteri...[Read More]

Review: Coocheer CH-242 7500mAh Rugged and Waterproof Power Bank

We love our power banks at Droid Horizon as they’re a great way of charging gadgets on the go. But what about when you’re going a little further off the beaten track? Will your favourite external battery survive getting thrown around? How about getting wet? Coocheer’s CH-242 has a 7500mAh lithium-ion battery embedded inside either a blue or silver aluminium shell that’s finished off with anti-shoc...[Read More]

Review: iClever BoostCube IC-TC04 4-Port Wall Charger

iClever have released a range of USB power bricks under the BoostCube brand name, and when Ryan reviewed three of the US variants (2-port, 3-port and 1-port QC3.0) he was happy with their performance for the price. However the more ports we have on our chargers the better we like them, so today for our UK readers I’ll be checking out the 4-port version designed to fit our 3 pin wall sockets. This ...[Read More]
