This review is from: FREMO P100 10400 mAh Power Bank External Battery Charger for iPhone, iPad Air, mini, Galaxy S5, Note, Galaxy Tab, Nexus, HTC One, One 2 (M8), PS Vita and other Smartphones and Tablets (made by SCUD)

Pros:

Absolutely beautiful looks. Real aluminum with a brushed finish. It will look good no great next to any aluminum Apple product. If looks matter a lot to you this is a good item for you. I charged a trac phone with a micro plug I charged a trac phone with a mini plug. I charged a logitech keyboard with a micro jack.
It would allow your phone to run for a long time in an emergency.

Cons:

Only one cable a usb micro to a standard usb 2 jack. when you charge a product you need it to be a usb 2 micro jack item . I have a cable with a usb mini jack so I was able to charge a few other items. In addition to the 1 cable it is a short cable so it may be a hassle to charge the item you want to charge. The provided cable also charges the battery box. plug the standard sized usb2 plug of the cable into the provided power source and the box will charge in about 4-6 hours. Oh I forgot there is not provided power source.

You to buy at least two things a cable with multiple adapters. A power to provide power to charge the battery pack

this item below fits the bill. It has power sources and cables

With both the Fremo p100 and the kit above you are well covered. With just the fremo p100 you can come up short.

Overall Review:

I would have loved the p100 to have multiple cables and a power source for charging it.

It is really good looking and has a nice feel. I like the understated blue charge leds as they are not blinding. This pack has a real value in a prolonged power outage it will allow for really long uptime on your phones. I was affected by Hurricane Sandy. I had loss of power for days. I would have liked to have this around

Please be sure to realize you will need a power source to charge it and you maY need more cables then it came with.
