CONCLUSION

   Placing almost double the battery capacity of the PL2 into the PL3 and pairing it with two 5V USB charging ports (1/2.1A) was a great move by LUXA2 since now you can use it to recharge high-end tablets and in some cases even have battery power to spare for your smartphone. After using/testing the PL3 for 2 weeks we know that it has roughly 7000-7500mAh of usable battery capacity which is not bad at all considering that no power bank we've tested/used to date had the exact amount of battery capacity it was advertised for. The PU leather does a great job in helping the PL3 blend in "serious" clothes (and bags) and although it's not 100% real leather (regardless of the type) still it does look quite thick so i doubt you will have any issues with it (well perhaps in 5 or more years you may but we can't know for sure). My sole problem with the PL3 is the lack of a LED flashlight something which was implemented in the PL2 model. Sure this may not be very significant and a power bank is all about battery capacity but a LED flashlight can come in handy so i was just hoping LUXA2 would use one with the PL3 as well (and perhaps a more powerful model compared to that of the PL2).

   If you happen to reside inside the USA you're very lucky since currently the PL3 10400mAh Leather Power Bank retails for just USD49.99 (Amazon.com) which is a mere 10 bucks more compared to the price of the PL2. Unfortunately things inside the EU are not as great since currently the PL3 retails for 84Euros (Amazon.de) a price tag which doesn't really add up not when it's over twice as much compared to the one in the USA (If LUXA2 can fix that then we can strongly recommend the PL3 for EU customers as well). Overall the PL3 10400mAh Leather Power Bank is a very attractive product with plenty of battery capacity and at a very attractive price tag (in the USA at the time of this review) and that's why it gets our Golden Award.
