Hiking Lady’s view of the ibattz Battstation Optimus 20400mAh Battery Pack?
The ibattz Battstation is an excellent charging station. It is so powerful that it can easily last an entire multi-day camping trip. Would I take it backpacking? Not unless I need my battery sucking devices for some reason. I know some people use their iPhone’s as a GPS – then this is the backup battery you’ll want for backpacking! Given its weight (14.11 ounces), I think it is ideal for car camping and plane flights when you want to charge your devices.
Using it for car camping is the best outdoor use of the ibattz Battstation. The ibattz Battstation Optimus 20400mAh is durable, has an easy to grip matte exterior, and it is physically small (see Specs below).
Because it has two USB charging ports, one 2.1 amp and one 1 amp, it is convenient for charging multiple devices at once. Moreover, the ibattz Battstation Optimus 20400mAh is so powerful that it can charge a smartphone 8 times! Yes 8! I tried it myself with an iPhone 5 and it lived up to its claim.
The ibattz Battstation Optimus 20400mAh Battery Pack will be coming along on all of my car camping trips from now on!
