The bottom line on the LiBa battery is this: it works. It is a very small and very effective external battery that delivers on the premise of being able to fully recharge your small electronic device when you are far away from any power outlets.

In order to test this battery charger I decided to completely drain my small electronic devices so that I get as clean of an idea of this battery’s efficiency as I can. I discover that, with the unsurprising exception of the iPad, I was able to fully charge all of my small electronic devices with plenty of power to spare. Full charging usually takes between one to two hours. I’ve tested this battery with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5S, Kindle Paperwhite, Mobee Magic Bar, Jabra SPORT Bluetooth Stereo Headset , and the aforementioned iPad (First Generation) (32GB, Wifi + 3G). Oftentimes I was able to fully charge two or three devices with just one LiBa fully charged battery. I was only able to charge my iPad to 62% of its full charge, but considering iPad’s size this is still really impressive.

To fully charge this battery it takes about five hours. This is much longer than some other such batteries that I have tested, and I think this is primarily due to the fact that it relies on USB connection for powering. The best way to charge this battery is to leave it plugged in overnight. You can plug it into your computer or a stand-alone USB charger.

LiBa battery is fairly well designed and very compact. It’s about twice as thick as iPhone 4/4S, and about half an inch shorter. It’s also fairly light, and overall very convenient and portable. The inclusion of a small LED light at the front of the battery means that it can also be used as an impromptu small flashlight.

Overall, I am very pleased and impressed with this battery supply. It is effective, portable, and very affordable. I would recommend it to anyone who travels a lot or uses their gadgets on the go all the time.
