OXA 2600mAh SAFE External Battery
There are many external batteries out there that can help you recharge your portable devices, and which one you choose will depend on your particular needs. This OXA 2600 mAh external battery/charger is one of the smallest I’ve seen, both in terms of physical size as well as charge capacity. The battery looks similar in shape and size to an elongated lighter. The battery is charged from an USB port, and it comes with its own micro USB cable with several different charging attachments. You can charge it by plugging it into a spare USB outlet on your PC (slow), or by using one of the wall USB outlets from your cell phone or a similar device.
I’ve been able to use this battery to fully charge a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone and iPhone 4S. It took me a few hours to charge both of those devices. In order to charge an iPhone I had to use my own iPhone cable – Apple is very restrictive when it comes to allowing third party manufacturers using their proprietary designs.
Since this battery is very small it is ideally suited for an emergency backup charging. It can easily fit in your pocket along with your smartphone, although I wish that it came with a small bag into which to put it.
This is neither a particularly stylishly designed nor remarkably well built external battery. It has a very utilitarian look and fee to it. It gets the job done, at least for now. I have not tested it long enough to see how durable it is in the long run, and if I discover anything noteworthy about that I’ll update my review.
Decent small external charger, especially for the price.
