[Product Review] TYLT “PowerPlant” Series Portable Battery Packs

I would like to start off this product review a little differently than what people are used to, only because of the how this product works.

With Halloween right around the corner, it should only be fitting to review a product which will help us avoid the scariest thing out there. “What is the scariest thing out there?” you might be asking yourself, I am glad you asked. The scariest thing out there is being without power in the middle of an important phone call or even worse is when you make an important call and you get the dreaded low power beep from your phone.

“They have made 3 different “PowerPlant” Models, the one I reviewed was the “PowerPlant Micro USB”. They also have one for the iPhone community!

External batteries are great for this problem plaguing today’s power hungry users. There are 100’s if not thousands of external batteries which can supply a decent amount of power to your device. This being said I would like to introduce you to one of the higher end external battery packs made by one of my “go to” companies for high quality mobile device accessories TYLT.

Their “PowerPlant” external batteries are reliable, user-friendly and very pleasing to the eye. This “PowerPlant” by TYLT is housing a 5,200 mAh battery to power your device at least 2 times and depending on your devices battery size, possibly 3. This product allows you do to charge up to 2 devices simultaneously WHILE charging the “Power Plant” with pass through changing. I honestly love this product; take a look at the stats provided by the manufacturer!

The “PowerPlant” provides enough power to fully charge your device from dead in a little over 3 1/2 hours depending on your device model of course. But will allow you to do so about 2 times. This is great when you are in a pinch or you can us it to add up to 12 hours of talk time while you are using it. Not to shabby if you ask me.

Here is the awesome part, this charges via any USB output like your laptop, PC/Mac via the provided Micro USB cable. So you can charge the “PowerPlant” then utilize that same cable to use to power up your 2nd device. Which is great on saving you space on having to carry an AC power supply!

In closing, this is one of my favorite “Power up” choices! If you interested in picking one up feel free to head to the Amazon link below.
