   Testing portable battery packs is not really hard since the entire procedure for most doesn't take more than a couple of days. What happens however when you need to test a portable battery that features a lithium-polymer battery with a capacity twice of what most portable battery packs carry? In this case testing the PB12000A proved to be a real challenge since it has enough juice to recharge a "generic" smartphone almost 7 times and that takes quite a bit of time especially when you have to charge (and then use) the battery pack at least three times until the battery is fully functional (it took a total of 5 days for me to complete all tests) and our findings? For starters let's say what we always do so you can't expect from any battery pack to output exactly the same amount of power as its rated capacity and so the PB12000A can actually output a total of around 8000mAh (no way to be 100% precise) since it was able to recharge my LG Optimus 2X a total of 5 and 1/3 times (has an 1500mAh battery) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for just over a single time (has an 7000mAh battery). Again be aware that in order for the battery to reach its maximum possible capacity you need to have at least 3 charge cycles on it (for example the first time we charged the PB12000A it hardly managed to recharge my LG Optimus 2X a total of 3 times). Also since the device offers 4 different power outputs you need to be very careful which you choose to charge your device with (tried charging the Optimus 2X with the 2.1A USB port and it got really hot so be sure to use that only with tablets).

 

   Normally a 12000mAh battery pack would cost much but when you're rather new in the market you just need to price your products aggressively and that's exactly what EasyAcc does since as we speak the PB12000A portable battery retails for just USD39.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 35Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). Clearly we can't comment on the quality and lifespan of the battery cells used by EasyAcc (usually battery packs have a 500 charge cycle) but the PB12000A offers a lot more battery power than most battery packs out there (around 8000mAh) and it allows to simultaneously charge up to 4 electronic devices and these two features alone are more than enough for us to give it our Golden Award.
