INTRODUCTION

   I can't really recall the number of times when i took my smartphone out of my jacket only to find out that it was almost out of battery and if you happen to be reading these lines then it's a safe bet that this has happened to you as well (as with most people i suppose). Over the years we've seen many solutions for that from larger 3rd party batteries which can replace the one your smartphone comes with from the factory and even extra battery packs that double the battery capacity of your smartphone by attaching to its rear (this was especially popular amongst iPhone owners). Portable batteries however have taken the market by storm not only because you can find models out there that can recharge even a large tablet up to 3 times or more (and a smartphone up to 10 times or more) but also because they can be used to recharge and even power pretty much any portable device in the market currently. LUXA2 has released quite a few portable batteries but the P1-PRO Outdoor Power Bank is their most rugged model to date.

   The P1-PRO features a nice compact aluminum housing which under its hood has two 3500mAh lithium-polymer rechargeable batteries that add up to a total of 7000mAh (enough to fully recharge most 7" tablets in the market currently). However it's the silicon/rubber bumper that separates it from the rest of the LUXA2 line since thanks to it you don't have to worry about dropping, misplacing your USB cables and getting dust in the USB ports. Of course i would prefer to see an entirely rugged IP certified housing just like some other manufacturers have released in the market but i can't say that i know that many people who'd prefer it over a smaller and certainly nicer looking model (although portable batteries are obviously more useful outdoors). 7000mAh is also nothing impressive but at least i hope that the P1-PRO delivers at least that much.
