CONCLUSION

   Compared to the much larger MP-23000A the XT-10000ADF may indeed seem as way too weak but it still offers two USB charging ports (1-2.1A), a small LED flashlight and a battery charge meter so for people who want something compact it should do just fine. Regarding the battery life after 8 days of tests we concluded that it's anywhere between 7000mAh and 7500mAh (it's able to recharge most smartphones up to 5 times) which is not bad considering that no battery pack ever offers 100% of its advertised capacity. Build quality is also quite nice although the silver painted areas may not stay for long if you're not very careful about where and how you store the device.

   Since there are countless portable battery packs with the same battery capacity we expected XTPower to follow a rather aggressive price policy with the XT-10000ADF which they obviously did since currently you can find it for just 33Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). It goes without saying that 10000mAh (or 8000-8500mAh according to our tests) may not be sufficient for people who may want to carry enough battery capacity with them to fully recharge both a tablet and a smartphone in which case something like the MP-23000A is a much better solution but for people who just want a failsafe in case their smartphone runs out of battery the XT-10000ADF Power Bank is the right gadget for the job and that's why it receives our Golden Award.
