Skiva PowerVault Lightning A2600 Ultra-Portable External Battery Pack
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 Skiva 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 via the integrated USB port. 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. The most impressive features of this battery, however, are the integrated micro USB and lightning cables. This means that you never have to carry extra cables around – this battery is the only thing you need to take with you. If it had an integrated wall outlet it would be a perfect carry-on external battery.
I’ve been able to use this battery to fully charge a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone and iPhone 5S. It took me a few hours to charge both of those devices.
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.
This is a very stylishly designed and remarkably well built external battery. It has a very elegant look and feel 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. Well worth the investment.
