The Best USB Battery Packs
To find the best USB battery pack for whatever device you need to keep charged when you can't get to an AC outlet, we spent more than 20 hours researching 160 models, buried our office in almost 50 pounds of batteries, and then flew to Vancouver, British Columbia, to test 17 packs in a laboratory devoted to battery analysis. If you need something that can slip into a small pocket and top up your phone, get the TravelCard Charger with either an integrated Micro-USB or Lightning cable. If you need something with more juice that can completely refill a phone after a busy day, pick up the EasyAcc 6000mAh Ultra Slim Power Bank. If you need to do it more than once, or to charge both a phone and a tablet, grab the larger AmazonBasics Portable Power Bank 16,100 mAh to keep in your bag. And if you require a pack that can power a bagful of devices for a full day or juice your phone to 100 percent every day on a weeklong trip, buy the RAVPower 26800mAh Xtreme Portable Charger. Whatever your requirements, we have a great battery recommendation for you.
If all you need is to get a few extra hours out of your phone in a pinch, the TravelCard Charger is the credit-card-sized choice to keep with you all the time. The TravelCard has a built-in Micro-USB or Lightning-connector plug to charge your phone, plus a built-in USB cable with a full-size USB Type-A plug to recharge the TravelCard itself. The combination gives you power wherever you are without your having to carry any cables. It packs only enough power to add 30 to 50 percent of a charge to the battery of a large smartphone, but even that can feel life-saving when you're faced with low-battery warnings. Unfortunately, you'll pay a big premium for the convenience and small size: Though this model is often on sale, it's the most expensive of the pocketable packs we tested. If you have a little more space, you might want to trade the convenience of built-in cables for the extra capacity of a larger unit.
*At the time of publishing, the price was $18.
If you can make just a little more room in your pocket or bag, you can step up to a lot more power and a better value. The EasyAcc 6000mAh Ultra Slim Power Bank is about the size and thickness of an average smartphone, and it's the best-performing model in this class, standing out because of its integrated cable and high-speed charging port. In our tests, this EasyAcc model had the most available power, enough to fully charge a smartphone—depending on size—two or three times. You could even charge a tablet more than halfway from its 2.4-amp port.
*At the time of publishing, the price was $30.
The AmazonBasics Portable Power Bank 16,100 mAh is our pick if you have to charge a phone repeatedly, want to keep a full-size tablet and phone topped up through a week of commuting, or need to keep your gadgets going on a long flight. In previous tests, this battery had enough capacity to charge an average smartphone almost every day of the workweek or fill a full-size tablet twice. Now that Amazon has updated the power output on this model (though not the specs stamped on the back), it puts out enough juice to charge two devices at or near their full speed. In our tests, the new version was capable of 2.4 A from either port, topping out at 4 A combined. Though that total is lower than the 4.8 A listed on the product page, it meets our basic criteria. With plenty of power packed into a unit the size of a portable hard drive, this battery is the most flexible of all our picks, and the one to get if you want something that can work for commuting and for travel.
If none of the smaller picks meet your charging demands, get the RAVPower 26800mAh Xtreme Portable Charger, which beat out our other large contenders by offering more power, more ports, and faster charging, all at a reasonable price. In our tests, its three ports—rated at 2.4 A, 2.1 A, and 1 A—allowed it to charge a large tablet, a large smartphone, and a small phone simultaneously at full power. We found it had 19,107 mAh of available power, enough to charge your smartphone every night on a weeklong camping excursion. But at 21 ounces it's pretty heavy, and it takes up the space of a large paperback. Still, if you need this much power, it's the battery for you.

Our categories
We think the best way to shop for a USB battery pack is to consider three factors: which device or devices you need to charge, how many times you'll need to charge them, and how much bulk and weight you can tolerate carrying around. Someone who wants a pocketable model for occasionally topping up a phone has different needs than a business traveler whose goal is to keep a tablet and two phones charged for back-to-back international flights.
Based on those and other criteria, we divided the packs we considered into four categories: pocket-sized, everyday carry, a pick for your bag, and a pick for your luggage. Of course, you may need both an everyday battery and one for travel—USB battery packs are now inexpensive enough that you might opt to buy more than one.
Physical characteristics
|Top off a phone at the end of a day
|Less than 3 ounces, credit card or lipstick design
|Every day
|Fully charge a smartphone one or two times
|Less than 6 ounces, the size of a deck of cards or bar of soap
|For your bag
|Charge multiple devices, including a tablet
|Less than 1 pound, similar in size to a portable hard drive
|For your luggage
|Charge a smartphone over multiple days or fully charge multiple tablets
|More than 1 pound, similar in size to a softcover Game of Thrones volume
These four general categories are based on size and capacity:
- The best pocket battery—a credit-card-sized or lipstick-sized pack that fits in the pockets of both women's and men's clothing—offers enough juice for a quick top-off to get you through a long workday or a night out. As is often the case with electronics, you'll pay a premium for this group's small size.
- Our picks for an everyday carry come in assorted sizes and shapes—resembling a bar of soap, a smartphone, and a candy bar—but each of them fits in a large pocket, a coat, a small purse, or a tablet-sized shoulder bag. Right now, these battery packs represent an affordable way to have one or two smartphone charges on hand, and some even sport fast charging (2 or more amps on a single port). Most batteries we considered for this class cost $20 or less.
- The most versatile batteries we can recommend are those meant to fit in a backpack, a large purse, a briefcase, or a laptop bag. These can be heavier (up to 1 pound or so), but they remain modest in size, resembling a portable hard drive or an eyeglasses case. The extra bulk gives you five or more smartphone charges, or one to two tablet charges with a little left over. Our top candidates in this class have two or more USB ports, can fast-charge at 2 A or more, and cost $35 or less.
- Larger travel batteries that you can easily carry in your luggage have enough energy to top off a collection of power-hungry devices even if you're on the road and away from outlets. These models are roughly the volume of a small desktop hard drive or a large softcover book, and they can weigh more than a pound. Although they're too big to be an everyday carry, they're fine for stowing in your luggage. And while their stated capacities hover around 26,000 mAh, they actually deliver a respectable 19,000 mAh or so—enough to charge full-size tablets more than once or to keep a few coworkers' phones charged on a trip. Pricing varies, but you can expect to pay between $40 and $70.

How we picked
We gathered information on more than 160 models from manufacturers' sites, user and editorial reviews, and retail stores. Some contenders were popular on Amazon, while others came from reputable brands we've liked in the past. (We're not kidding when we say that we're obsessive: To keep track of all this battery-pack information, we ended up using a 43-column spreadsheet with 6,880 cells.)
We dismissed units that were overpriced next to less expensive models that we knew were solid, as well as those with flaws like slow charging rates. That still left us with dozens of products, so we compared those models on the basis of their ratios of capacity (expressed in milliampere hours, or mAh) to dollars, ounces, and even cubic inches. The calculations helped us identify the outliers—both above average and below average. We also checked on availability and warranty coverage, since these packs will do you no good if you can't get them, or if the companies won't replace batteries that fail due to manufacturing defects.
When building USB portable batteries, the makers incorporate internal power cells from other companies, and the marketing for the resulting battery pack almost always reflects the total of the raw specifications for those internal cells. But that's the maximum energy capacity of those cells, not how much they can actually release—you'll never see that much power in real life since the packs' designs aren't perfectly efficient. You see maximum, theoretical, and unobtainable numbers like this all over the consumer electronics world.
The discrepancy between the stated capacity and the available power is why, even after putting in weeks of work to settle on 20 candidates, we weren't satisfied with our standard tests. We had to go to the Shangri-la of battery testing. We had to go to Canada.
Discharging, charging, and then once again discharging all 20 candidates would have taken more than 600 hours using our small power meters. With three samples of each potential pick, we instead headed to the labs of Cadex Electronics in Vancouver, British Columbia, where we met a camera crew from Good Morning America to collaborate on this segment.2 Cadex has been building tools for testing and maintaining batteries, as well as analyzing performance for vendors and manufacturers, since Isidore Buchmann started the lab in 1980. The author of Batteries in a Portable World, Buchmann has shared a lifetime of acquired expertise on battery technology at Battery University, a resource we love.
Cadex engineers set up a few shelves with its C7400 battery analyzers and tested the discharge profile of all our samples.3 The lab spent a couple of days testing before we arrived, and then it ran overnight tests while we were there, producing data on voltage curves, state of health percentages, and discharged capacity, all of which were averaged out across the three samples of each model. This procedure let us figure out which batteries came closest to the nominal capacity on the box. Using three samples meant we could be sure that we didn't have a bum unit of a model that was otherwise great.
We need to explain one technical detail about testing USB battery packs. As Gary Kwok, the applications engineering manager who ran our tests at Cadex, told us, the packs' internal battery cells operate at 3.6 V, while USB runs at 5 V. Cadex conducted all of our tests via USB, which let us perform consistent comparisons among different packs. We had no way to test the batteries directly; we needed to test them through the USB interface, just as you would use a battery pack in practice.
Battery makers, however, report the capacity of their products in milliampere-hours, a measurement of current flowing over time at a given voltage. Since we've changed the voltage for testing purposes, our 5-volt tests don't offer an apples-to-apples comparison with the manufacturers' stated capacities in mAh. The higher voltage allows less current to transfer more energy faster, so we get a lower number. But because most smartphones and tablets use lithium-ion batteries with a voltage similar to our packs (and according to the laws of physics, charge is conserved, regardless of voltage), we can convert our test results back to the original 3.6 V for comparison. This step lets us directly contrast the advertised capacity in mAh (at 3.6 V) of the batteries against the tested amount of power they can deliver to a smartphone or tablet operating at a similar voltage. A small amount of loss occurs in the conversion process, and in a future guide we hope to test our picks again to pin down precise numbers for some common smartphones and tablets.
One other factor related to the delivery of power from a USB battery pack to a device is the amperage rating of the ports. If you've ever plugged your phone into a computer's USB socket and found that the battery wouldn't charge, or if your huge tablet has kept losing charge even when plugged into your phone's AC adapter, you've experienced charging that was too slow for your device—that is, the port's amperage was too low relative to how fast the device consumed power. For instance, an iPad plugged into a regular USB port or a 5-watt/1-amp iPhone charger will tell you that it isn't charging whenever it's out of standby mode; the charger supplied with an iPad Air 2, in contrast, works at 12 watts/2.4 amps, which keeps up with the tablet's demands. (Apple also "cheats" by having higher-available-amperage USB ports on some of its computers and monitors.) The higher the amp rating of a port, the faster it will dump power into your device. You'll often see "fast charging," "high output," or "high speed" used interchangeably to advertise ports with an output of more than 2 A.
On the smallest batteries, we forgave slow charging because high-amperage circuitry requires more room than low-amperage modules. On the large packs, though, we insisted on charging at better than 2 A to keep up with iPads and other tablets, and you should too.
We also considered the size, shape, features, and build quality of each unit, along with elements such as the style and usefulness of the LED gauge or the finish on the plastic. Of course, price is always a factor, but because the street price of these batteries can vary so much—sometimes by $5 to $10 over the span of a few weeks—we didn't focus much on small pricing differences.
Our pick for your pocket
If you need the absolute smallest battery to keep your phone going when you can't get to an outlet, the TravelCard Charger is the most convenient and reliable option. A little longer and wider than a credit card and roughly three times as thick, the TravelCard stands out from other small batteries because it has two integrated cables: one with a Micro-USB or Lightning-connector plug (depending on the TravelCard version you buy) to charge your device, and one with a standard USB plug to recharge the battery itself. Not having to carry any cables makes the TravelCard more convenient than other small battery packs. The TravelCard is light and well-made, with cables that fit securely without jamming or falling out—a real problem with some of the cheapest credit-card batteries. Since its announcement in 2014, a few Wirecutter staffers have been personally using the TravelCard with positive results.
That said, even the best batteries at this size have limitations. To preserve battery longevity and avoid heat buildup, these packs are limited to relatively slow input and output charge speeds. The TravelCard is in line with its competitors, discharging and recharging at about 1 amp. The LithiumCard from LinearFlux was the only standout in the group we tested, able to output at up to 2 A, just like the larger batteries we cover. But the LithiumCard had about 20 percent less capacity than our pick, and since you'll likely be using your phone while charging it with something this size, that faster speed doesn't matter much for most people.
Dollar for dollar, the capacities of packs this small are as unimpressive as the charging speeds. The TravelCard averaged 1,048 mAh in our tests, which, while enough available capacity to add 30 to 50 percent of a full charge to most smartphones, pales in comparison to our pick in the next size category, which provides five times the power for less than half the price. Even among credit-card batteries, some models eke out a few more milliampere-hours than the TravelCard; the Incipio offGRID 1500, with a similar size and price as the TravelCard, provided a slightly higher capacity in our tests. But we still think the TravelCard is the slightly better choice because of the integrated recharging cable that the offGRID lacks. An extra 100 mAh probably won't make a huge difference in how you use one of these batteries on a day-to-day basis, but never wanting for an extra cable is more than just a convenience—it's a relief.
The best battery for everyday use
*At the time of publishing, the price was $18.
You can get a lot more power for your money if you can make a little more room in your pocket or bag for a slightly bigger pack, which can be the size and heft of a smartphone or a bar of soap. In our tests, the EasyAcc 6000mAh Ultra Slim Power Bank had the most available power, and it was the only tested unit in this category with both of the features we like to see in units of this size, namely an integrated Micro-USB cable and a high-speed port (at least 2 A). The integrated cable means one fewer thing to carry (and lose), and it takes up less space than a separate cable, especially as the shape incorporates a way to tuck the tail out of sight. And the high-speed port on this model means that it can top up even a full-size tablet in a reasonable amount of time.
The Micro-USB cable built into the Ultra Slim Power Bank managed as much as 2.2 A of current in our testing, contrasting with the 1 A to 1.5 A we saw from similar models' attached cables. It also recharged faster, at almost 2 A, versus a range of 1 A to 1.5 A for other models, which means that you're more likely to have a charged battery pack on hand when you need it. If you charge it side by side with your phone for an hour while waiting for your flight at the airport, for instance, you could net yourself as much as another 75 percent of charge when your phone dies while you're at 35,000 feet.
Measuring at 5,500 mAh, the EasyAcc had enough power available to charge most smartphones two or more times. That was the highest result among the packs we tested, but all our top models in this group had outputs around 5,400 mAh (for stated capacities of 6,000 to 6,700 mAh), so we made our pick based on the EasyAcc's superior features and charging speed.
Our pick for your briefcase or bag
*At the time of publishing, the price was $30.
The most versatile batteries you can buy right now are around the size of an eyeglasses case or portable hard drive. Out of the dozens—if not hundreds—available, the best one you can toss into your backpack, laptop bag, briefcase, messenger bag, or large purse is the AmazonBasics Portable Power Bank 16,100 mAh, a portable-hard-drive-sized slab measuring about 6 by 3½ by ¾ inches and weighing 12 ounces. It had 15,280 mAh available in our tests—not the highest in the group, but enough power to completely charge a tablet with power to spare, or to charge most smartphones five times over. Despite its proven capacity, this model was our runner-up in the past because it had slightly slower output than we liked to see. After Anker discontinued our previous pick in this category, the PowerCore 15600, we discovered that Amazon had quietly upgraded the USB ports on its offering. Now the Portable Power Bank 16,100 mAh has enough kick to satisfy all but the most power-hungry pair of devices. Here's hoping Amazon will update the product page and case markings to match the changes; currently the product page says 4.8 A combined, and the case markings say 3.4 A combined. Our own meters told the truth and consistently found that the loads balanced to no more than 4 A combined, or 2.4 A per port—high enough for this battery to slide into the top spot for this size category.
For some people, high-speed charging is a necessity, while for others it's just good future-proofing. Anyone with a large-screen smartphone or tablet should be looking for at least 2 A of output—you'll be frustrated with slower ports. For most phones that require only 1 A or 1.5 A, these "smart charger" batteries won't deliver more than that amount. And like most of the better batteries in this group, the AmazonBasics Portable Power Bank 16,100 mAh will recharge at 2 A over Micro-USB. When you press the power button on top, the LED gauge will light up to show you how much energy is left inside.
Our pick for your luggage
If you require a lot of power—you need to charge your smartphone every night on a weeklong camping excursion, say, or to keep a couple of devices fully charged on an international flight—you should get the RAVPower 26800mAh Xtreme Portable Charger. Next to the other large contenders in our test group, it offers more power, more ports, and faster charging, all at a reasonable price.
After charging and draining our three RAVPower test units, we found they averaged an actual capacity of of 19,107 mAh—about 70 percent of what the company advertises. This may seem like a pretty low figure, but it's in line with what we saw from the other large packs we tested, and it's still enough power to both fully charge a large tablet and a fill a smartphone a few times.
Its three ports are rated at 2.4 A, 2.1 A, and 1 A, and while other models top out at a combined 4 A or so by throttling ports when you need the power most, the RAVPower model can output at full speed to all three ports simultaneously. You'll have to remember which is which, or examine the tiny labels, to make sure your device is plugged into the port that supplies its maximum charging potential. Although it would be nice if all the ports had the same output, tiny labels are a small price to pay for a parent who wants to keep a few kids' worth of devices charged on a plane, or for anyone who needs to save the day at an outlet-starved conference.
The biggest drawback to a battery with this much power is its heft. This model weighs 21 ounces, not much less than an ultraportable laptop. And at 6.8 by 3.2 inches and almost an inch thick, it's just slightly smaller than the paperback edition of A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1. If you need the power, though, this is how you should get it.
An important note for those taking this size (or even smaller batteries) on flights: The FAA allows for bringing along spare batteries, but external batteries cannot be in checked luggage. You have to carry any non-installed rechargeable batteries in your carry-on luggage. And if you need to gate check a bag, you are legally required to shift any lithium-ion batteries from that bag to your carry-on as well. There is no limit to the number of batteries you can carry for personal use, so long as they are 100 watts or fewer. All the batteries we review have capacities designed to fall beneath the threshold.
What to look forward to
You'll find plenty of great battery packs in the everyday and briefcase/bag sizes—most of our better contenders were in those classes, and we picked the best. The pocketable credit-card/lipstick-sized models and the more powerful travel units are still evolving, however. While we are confident in our picks at those capacities, we expect to see a lot more variety in size and options over the coming year, especially with integrated Lightning cables for the hundreds of millions of iPhones out there with that connector. We'll also watch for new units with Quick Charge 2.0 (and 3.0) outlets and for models with rugged, weatherproof bodies.
We did look at an "extra-large" category—units that can recharge multiple tablets or even some new laptops. However, those models—with USB Type-C ports, DC cables, and AC plugs—are too new and make too many compromises for us to recommend one yet. We're going to take another look for the next update, and we hope to have a pick then.
The competition
Pocket-sized models
In our most recent version of this guide, we recommended the Incipio offGRID 1500mAh as the runner-up to our top pick, the AmazonBasics Portable Power Bank. The offGRID tested with roughly 70 percent of the available power of the AmazonBasics model, and unlike the Amazon model, it comes in a Lightning-cable version that makes it a good choice for iPhones. Its build quality is top-notch, with a sleek metallic finish and an integrated device cable that feels sturdier than most. It was in second place only because the price on the AmazonBasics has been a consistently good bargain. But the Incipio charges via a Micro-USB port instead of through an integrated USB cable with a Type-A plug like our new pick, the similarly priced TravelCard Charger. Even though the Incipio proved that it could store a few dozen more milliampere-hours in testing, the built-in USB cable on the TravelCard spares you the inconvenience of needing to carry a single cord when you're out and about.
Though the AmazonBasics Portable Power Bank with Micro-USB and 2,000 mAh capacity was a great deal, its time has passed. Amazon isn't consistently stocking it anymore, and its original link on Amazon now redirects shoppers to other batteries. If you catch it available for less than $10, it's certainly worth buying. But when compared on the merits without the AmazonBasics model as a price spoiler, our current pocket pick, the TravelCard, is the more convenient option.
The LinearFlux Original LithiumCard for Micro-USB and for Lightning offer great build quality paired with an integrated device cable and a flip-out USB connector—a neat trick until you plug it into your computer or multiport wall charger and realize that the rest of your ports are blocked. The LithiumCard does have a high-speed 2-A output, which most other credit-card-size chargers lack, and that's a compelling feature. Unfortunately, this model's capacity couldn't keep up with its output, as we found in testing that it had only about 839 mAh of available power. That and its high price made it easy to dismiss.
The Power Theory PowerKite (2,500 mAh) didn't live up to its claims, delivering just 475 mAh over USB on average, an almost unusably small amount of power and the lowest ratio of advertised to available power of any pack we tested. We reached out to Power Theory to find out what went wrong, and company co-founder Matt Dreier replied that Power Theory "recently dropped the output to .8A due to heat concerns in such a thin device." According to Dreier, Power Theory's engineers speculated that Cadex's tests had pushed the PowerKite too hard, and that the "testing device/resistor they use (which I am guessing are similar to yours ) are strong enough to somehow override this and potentially damage the portable charger." When we tested a unit at 0.8 A as a follow-up, the capacity did jump to over 2,000 mAh (at 3.6 V), but that 0.8-amp speed limitation means that this pack will charge your device more slowly than the competition. Also, as Gary Kwok of Cadex told us, "The connected device will try to suck as much current as it needs, and it's up to the USB pack to self-regulate the output current." And the other packs we tested were able to provide adequate current at 1 A. The PowerKite's slow output and inconsistent results still make us hesitant to recommend it.
For everyday use
The Limefuel L60X was our original runner-up pick after the EasyAcc model. We've removed that recommendation because the L60X has consistently had inventory issues since the holiday shopping season. If you come across one for its normal retail price of $25, though, we still recommend it if you want its particular shape. In available capacity, it tested almost the same as the EasyAcc: 5,333 mAh on average. It's a little slower in both directions, however. The output is 2.1 A to the EasyAcc's 2.4 A, which won't mean much to you in practice. The input speed, however, is 1.5 A versus the EasyAcc's 2 A, which is a difference you'll notice later if you pull this thing off the charger as you run out the door.
The Anker 2nd Gen Astro 6700mAh is the updated model of one of our old picks (in our previous guide covering the best portable USB battery pack for daily use). This new model claims 6,700 mAh of capacity based on battery specs. In testing, however, we determined that Anker now relies on less-efficient rechargeable internal battery cells, which offer 15 percent less actual capacity than the components of this model's older sibling, the out-of-production 6,400-mAh version. Also, this model has only 2 A of output on its single port. Our pick outputs at 2.4 A, and for a lower price.
We didn't expect much from the AmazonBasics Portable Power Bank with Micro-USB 3,000 mAh, considering that it had a lower-rated capacity than most models in the group, but we wanted a range of options since we didn't know what the available capacities would turn out to be. With 2,440 mAh available, this pack has enough power for a full smartphone charge, but since it has an integrated Micro-USB cable, it's incompatible with Apple iOS devices without an adapter. For the price, we think you're better off saving some money and getting the 2,000-mAh version or spending a bit more to purchase our 6,000-mAh pick from EasyAcc.
When we tested the Zendure 2nd Generation A2 6700mAh, its capacity was almost identical to that of the Limefuel L60X—5,211 mAh to 5,333 mAh—and both packs output at 2.1 A. The Zendure A2 came close to being a pick, but it's a little more expensive, and the ridged design makes it a little less pocketable than our top choice.
For your bag
The Anker PowerCore 15600 was our prior top pick in this category, but Anker has since discontinued it, driving up the price of remaining stock. If you see a new one on sale for $30 or less, grab it. The PowerCore 15600 was a powerhouse in our testing: It had enough available power to charge a smartphone five times or to fill a tablet almost twice. In fact, this model could even provide a charge and a half to the massive battery on Apple's larger iPad Pro. And in contrast to other batteries in this group, both of its high-speed ports can provide power at 2.4 A simultaneously. Its compact shape—it resembles an eyeglasses case—makes it easy to tuck away, but its 12-ounce bulk could deter you from carrying it around all the time in a pocket or purse.
The Anker 2nd Gen Astro E5 16000mAh actually had 400 mAh more available power than our pick, the company's PowerCore 15600. However, the newer PowerCore model outputs a full 2.4 A to both ports simultaneously, while the Astro E5 tops out at 3 A shared between its ports, so it won't charge two devices as quickly. The slight available-power difference wasn't enough to overcome that deficit, and the new PowerCore is also slightly cheaper.
We liked the RAVPower 16000mAh Portable Charger with its reasonably fast ports—2.4 A and 2.1 A—and at 15,778 mAh, it had the highest tested capacity in this class. Unfortunately RAVPower discontinued this model between our research stage and publication of this guide. We haven't tested the new version that has a nominal 16,750-mAh capacity to see if the internal cells are just as good, but we'll include it in a future update.
For your luggage
The Satechi SX20 Aluminum Portable Energy Station was almost our top pick, until we tested it at the Cadex lab. We were unable to get any combination of its ports to output more than about 2.1 A simultaneously before the voltage dropped and reset our equipment. We reached out to a representative at Satechi and were told that internal tests showed the unit "was able to pass 2.4A before short circuit activated at 2.57A" and "that was for the combined output of all ports." With over 19,000 mAh of available capacity in testing, the SX20 will easily charge most smartphones for a week, but the low combined output means you won't be able to simultaneously charge more than two smartphones or one tablet at full speed.
The Anker PowerCore 20100 isn't a bad pack, having come through our tests with 17,401 mAh of available capacity. It offers that power—along with two high-speed 2.4-A ports—in a chassis the size of an eyeglasses case, and it's reasonably priced. But if you're looking for a lot of power, you should be able to share your pack among devices, so our travel-size recommendation from RAVPower is a better choice with a little extra power and a third port; alternatively, you can just get Anker's smaller PowerCore 15600, which provides almost as much power and will save you some money.
The Anker Astro E7 26800mAh has roughly the same available power as our pick, but like most of the Astro series, it can't output quite as much power simultaneously as newer competing packs, or Anker's own PowerCore packs. This one shared 4 A among its three ports and tested to 18,115 mAh available, but it costs significantly more than the other models we tested.
Special thanks to all our friends at Cadex, especially Gary Kwok, applications engineering manager, who spent many hours running tests and interpreting data for us, and David Oliver, director of product sales and marketing, who helped coordinate the entire project.

text: This plugin has a very reliable uploader, a straight-forward simple interface, and it just does what it advertises. I had a few minor tweaks to do and received prompt and helpful support. What is missing is the myriad of options some other image gallery plugins are offering, yet I prefer simplicity over complexity, in particular when my needs are addressed. Overall I am very happy with the plugin.

Adding a default doesn't exactly do the same thing, you would also need to override the save method of the model(especially for auto_now), I also agree they should be deprecated, however we need to document the alternative.

Some documentation is included but it's _very_ lacking. As per the discussion in a mailing list thread[1] I added Auto[Add]{Date,DateTime,Time}Field classes to django/db/models/fields/init.py
I think this functionality is used often and therefore might deserve a place in Django proper.

- Summary changed from auto_now and auto_now_add should me marked for soon-to-be-deprecated to auto_now and auto_now_add documentation
I believe that the current attitude towards auto_now and auto_now_add is that they become editable=False automatically. This needs to be documented, and should probably explain the common pitfalls and recommend an alternative method.
Current documentation: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#datefield

I just stumbled upon this documentation 'bug'. tried to explicity include a DateField with auto_now_add=True in a ModelForm. After rethinking the problem it is clear that the auto_now_add field is not editable and thus excluded from the form automatically. But I think it would have helped if this behavior was documented somewhere.

We are all looking to make improvements in our life whether its health, our weight, money, or relationships. But what if you could improve all of them simultaneously? A recent study showed a number of pills have potential to do just that. They are called "cognitive enhancers" or as some already know them as Nootropics. These pills are designed to improve memory, cognitive functions, and response times.
You may already be familiar with one, and that is coffee. Yes, coffee is a brain enhancer, which is a stimulant that essentially wakes you up. This results in improved focus and decision making. Though many people have found that it can give you the jitters, but new pills are trying to tackle this issue by using formulas which counteract this side effect.
One of the drugs people are talking about is Alleradd. This drug claims to elevate your energy, improve your memory, and help s you become more focused. They also said that their pills will work even if you are stressed out or feeling drowsy. The drug is also available to purchase online.
What has made these new drugs surge? Many people are curious if the Limitless pill exists after seeing the hit film with Bradly Cooper. The film depicts a man who is struggling to publish his book but after taking NZT, a.k.a, the Limitless pill his cognitive abilities improved massively, and his life changed for the better.
However, that wasn't before he experienced fatal side effects, something people wonder about Alleradd, and similar pills. Whilst the Limitless pill does not actually exist, drugs like Alleradd and Aderllera can certainly impact your performance. However, if you are familiar with Adderall then you know the side effects are certainly not worth the risks if you are just taking them for brain enhancement.
Many people who are into brain enhancing drugs, also known as Nootropics, share "stacks" with each other. These "stacks" are essentially combinations of nootropics to improve performance. Many claim to even have abilities similar to taking the Limitless pill, however others are sceptical, especially doctors.
Doctors are growing concerned about drugs like Alleradd and other nootropics, particularly when combined together. Overdoses on caffeine like many substances can be deadly. The founders of Allerad however claim that the drug is completely safe, despite one of the founder's friends committing suicide mainly due to an addiction to an ADHD drug.
So what is your take on this? Have you tried any pills or nootropics that can give you enhanced brain performance? We have yet to find anything that is close to the Limitless pill, without side effects, however there are new formulas and disco vies hitting the market every year, and there seems to be a gradual improvement.

Behind Syria's Stony Facade
Published: November 7, 1999
(Page 3 of 4)
We pushed on, first to the Roman ruins at Apamea, another 90 minutes or so away, along a narrow road that wound through lush countryside. The ancient city, founded in the fifth century B.C. had a long and glorious history, its visitors including Cleopatra and Marc Antony. Its central avenue, more than a mile long, was lined by 1,200 columns, some 200 of which have been uprighted again. We saw no more than a dozen other tourists in two hours there, and were free to roam. In the distance to the west, fog-capped coastal mountains seemed to plunge almost vertically into the green Orontes Valley.
Aleppo, two hours north, was disappointing at first, crowded with cars and noisy with the honking of horns. But a glimpse of the Citadel, an ancient fortress perched high on a massif at the city's heart, served as a reminder that this was no ordinary city. And nearby, in the ancient stone-covered souk, a maze of alleys crowded with craftsmen, merchants and donkey carts, we reveled in finding a market that is utterly authentic.
We had hoped to stay in Beit Wakil, the nicer of the small new hotels in the renovated old houses in the Armenian Quarter. But they were booked, so we were relegated to the Pullman, a mostly shabby place some 15 minutes away. Back in the Armenian Quarter, meals of savory grilled meat, mezzes and Lebanese wine helped to soothe the sense of having missed out.
Among our further stops, one of my favorites was Qal'at Saladin, for its remoteness in the steep and rugged mountains that divide Syria's coast from its hinterland. Reached by a narrow winding roadway, it looks down toward the sea, isolated not only by two natural ravines but also by a 60-foot-deep ditch, gouged into the stone by workers who left behind a pinnacle of rock to support a draw bridge. An old Byzantine fortress, it was taken over by the Crusaders early in the 12th century. But the Crusaders' stay was brief; in 1188, the castle was conquered by the great warrior Saladin as part of a flurry of conquests that led to the Arab recovery of Jerusalem.
As for Latakia, the mainly industrial seaport where we spent a night, it was a stop we could have done without. Still, it provided easy access to Ugarit, the Bronze Age site a short drive away, and allowed a chance to feast on fresh fish from the Mediterranean, served whole in a waterside restaurant.
By design, we had saved Syria's best-known sites for last, and both Crac des Chevaliers and Palmyra were worth the wait. The Crac, set amid green rolling hills, may be the paragon of castles, the one in the mind of any child who sets out with a bucket and a pail. Taken over and improved by the Knights Hospitaler beginning in 1144, it was among the last of the Crusader fortresses to be built in the region and the most formidable, not conquered until the mid-13th century. During a few hours of wandering, we saw that the happiest visitors appeared to be the children, exploring the vast dungeon, stables and towers that offered a commanding view.
To reach our final stop, Palmyra, required a two-and-a-half hour drive across the desert, where Bedouin shepherds watched their herds. On our arrival, the sight of Roman temples and columns rising so incongruously from the sands drove home the role that Palmyra played in its heyday, some 400 years beginning in the first century B.C. Made viable by a spring that still feeds the oasis, the city straddled the main trading route between the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean, as well as the Silk Road, and the taxes it imposed provided vast wealth.
Throughout most of the year, the fierceness of the desert sun can make midday explorations uncomfortable at best, and the flat light can render even the most impressive of the ruins unremarkable. But palm-shaded courtyards of several outdoor restaurants are good places to take breaks, while sunset is the time to explore the Arab castle, atop a steep hill.
On the final morning of our trip, we set our alarms very early. Soon we were outside, shivering in the darkness, picking and stumbling our way across the rocky soil toward shapes we could barely discern. Bit by bit, the sky began to lighten and the sun's first pink rays shot across the desert to illuminate ancient marble and, as it has for millenniums, bring Palmyra to life.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Tom Sizemore does Know Paris Hilton and there is a photo to prove it! Vivid Entertainment releases photo to media and distributes Sizemore's "Sex Scandal" DVD to stores nationwide. Paris Hilton denies being acquainted with actor Tom Sizemore, but Vivid Entertainment has a photo to prove it.
Mr. Sizemore revealed in an interview on a DVD released by Vivid Entertainment, "The Tom Sizemore Sex Scandal;" that he had a night of passion with Ms. Hilton in January 2001. Through her press agent, Ms. Hilton denied having sex with him and said she wasn't even acquainted with him.
Vivid Entertainment, the leading adult film studio, today released a photo that was provided to Vivid when it purchased the original video of Sizemore's sex romps. Sizemore says the photo was taken at his home on January 21, 2001, the day he claims in the DVD interview that he had sex with Ms. Hilton. It shows him cuddling with Ms. Hilton. A woman described as her friend, Mikayla, is also shown in the photo.
"The Tom Sizemore sex Scandal" DVD comprises over 70 minutes of uncut and uncensored video of Sizemore having energetic sex with up to four young women at a time. It also includes a candid audio interview in which Sizemore talks about his early admiration for his ex-girlfriend former "Hollywood Madam" Heidi Fleiss and what he says was a night of sex with Ms. Hilton in 2001, which he said occurred after a party at his house when she walked over to him and suggested quite explicitly that they have sex together. "She knew what she could do to people," says Sizemore. After a sex-filled night, Sizemore says, Hilton abruptly left in the morning, climbing into a long limousine with the parting words: "Goin' to Sundance. See you next week." He does not relate whether they got together again.
About Vivid:

Pop Culture and Photosynthesis
Many superheroes call on science to describe where they find their superhuman powers. For Spiderman, a spider transferred its DNA to Peter. For Superman, his powers came from exposure to the Earth's Sun. Sound familiar? Well, OK. Maybe photosynthesis didn't make it into the Superman plot line, but we think it should have. What's that you're saying? We can see you shaking your head. Photosynthesis is cool enough, darnit. Yes, we insist. What if we told you that a super-Spidey exists in Nature?
Look at the super slug Elysia chlorotica. It eats plants, steals their DNA, and keeps their chloroplasts. The result? After a two-week feast, it can survive for the rest of its year life living only on the energy produced from photosynthesis. That is like Spiderman and Superman all wrapped into one sluggy superparty! It is a shame that your stomach enzymes are so well-adapted to breaking down chloroplasts and DNA.

Breast Reconstruction
Breast Reconstruction WORTH IT RATING* DETAILS
in the last 24 months
in the last 12 months
over all time
Breast reconstruction is most commonly performed following a mastectomy. Women who want to restore the volume and shape of their breasts may choose to get breast implants, tissue (commonly called "flap") reconstruction, or a combination. Doctors tend to recommend tissue reconstruction for patients who have undergone radiation therapy, due to their increased risks for capsular contracture (a problematic scar tissue response to implants). Nipple reconstruction is also frequently part of the process. LEARN MORE ›

High-quality unboxing photos of Apple's new iPod "tubby" nanoAlthough not expected until later this weekend, the first shipments of Apple's new iPod "tubby" nano — aka iPod "fatboy", iPod "phatty", iPod "bilbo", iPod "stubby", and iPod "biggie smalls" — began cropping up at the company's retail stores Thursday afternoon.
Having a large stash of previous-generation iPods in either white, grey or black, we initially intended to pick up a red iPod "tubby" nano to mix things up a bit. That was, of course, before we found out that the red model is anything but red. In person, it looks more like a sparkly magenta-cranberry, or something you might come across in a lip-gloss aisle.
The black and grey models aside, the remainder of the new nano line appears best suited for party favors at a baby shower, or even a spring line of bonnets at your local Baby Gap. So if you're a dude, you may best want to shy away from those. Even the black, however, is not really black. It's more of a deep charcoal when compared to last year's model.
Nevertheless, we must admit that the players are somewhat more aesthetically pleasing in person than they appear in Apple's marketing material. They'd be even more appealing had they come wrapped entirely in brushed aluminum, rather than sport the old-school, mirror-like backside. (Within five minutes, several scratches appeared on the back of our nano and we hadn't even switched the darn thing on.)
Included with each of the new video-capable players is a Quick Start guide, dock adapter, USB charging cord, and a pair of second-generation iPod earbuds. Yeah — Apple's still skimping on the ear pads, which couldn't cost more than a dime a dozen. You'll have to fetch those on your own.
We'll have a full-blown review for you shortly. In the meantime, enjoy the close-ups.

Indonesians Are Increasingly Underwhelmed by Their Politicians
JAKARTA––Indonesia's political leaders got another vote of no-confidence over the weekend as the latest survey confirmed what most people in Indonesia already know: citizens think their elected officials are doing a terrible job.
The Indonesia Survey Circle said that 51% of the 1,200 people it surveyed in September thought politicians were doing a bad or very bad job. Only 23% said the political class was doing a good or very good job. That's a sharp drop from a more than 44% approval rating in a survey by the Indonesia Survey Circle in 2005.
The public image of the country's leaders has become so bad that some surveyed said they preferred politicians' performance under dictator General Suharto to the current messy democracy. More than 30% of those surveyed said politicians did a better job during the 32 years of Gen. Suharto's authoritarian rule, Indonesia Survey Circle researcher Adrian Sopa told the Jakarta Globe.
Benny Harman, a member of parliament and the ruling Democrat Party said voters in Indonesia's young democracy have to learn to cope with disappointment and pick new leaders when they are unhappy.
"A negative view of politicians is normal. It's a price of democracy," he said. "In any democratic country, politicians will be unpopular when they fail to meet high public expectations."
The popularity of Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the rest of the country's leaders has plummeted thanks to corruption cases that seem to be popping up like mushrooms across the spectrum of political parties and branches of government.
Since it was started in 2004, the Corruption Eradication Commission has backed more than 300 cases against top government officials and recovered billions of dollars in graft money.
The Indonesia Survey Circle survey showed that the more people are educated, the more likely they were to be disappointed in the government. About 41% of those that ended their educations after elementary school thought the government was doing a bad job while more than 60% of those with a college education thought the country's politicians were doing a bad or very bad job.
The rapid spread of news through the Internet has also contributed to the trend, Indonesia Survey Circle said.
Indonesians' avid use of Facebook, Twitter and other social media has meant that bad news and rumors spread further and faster than they did six years ago.
"Negative political news is quickly spread" online, the survey company said in its presentation. "Social media now makes and breaks positive political reputations."
Meanwhile, the survey showed that city folk are more skeptical of their government's abilities, possibly because they are more educated and more active online.
If Indonesia wants to win back its educated, urban and Blackberry-toting cynical citizens, it needs stronger political parties and fearless leaders who do more to crack down on corruption, the survey said.
Indonesian President Yudhoyono is hoping to soothe residents' cynicism with a cabinet reshuffle soon. But he may need more than cosmetic changes if he wants to bolster his government's profile and leave a legacy in his last years in office.

Upon the inception of my permanent disability I filed for benefits from Social security and from Metlife Insurance Company. After two years of submitting medical proof and three subsequent denial for benefits from MetLife Insurance company, I am left with no benefits from MetLife. Benefits I paid for monthly as an insurance policy in case I became disabled and could not work. This policy was in place and MetLife refuses to honor the claim. I have been through three MetLife appeals and met with over a half dozen Attorneys. Not one Attorney can take the case because the dollor recovery is not substantial enough to fight MetLife for benefits in Court. METLIFE knows these dynamics of the legal system and in my research has denied benefits for disability to many others who have submitted very legitimate claims.
BUYER BEWARE. The Metlife Disability coverage you are paying for is worthless. I submit to each of you who do business with METLIFE to cancel your policies and clearly send a message to this Company that it is not acceptable practice to deny legitimate claims.
I have been awarded Social Security for my injuries and METLIFE still denies that I have met the requirements of the disability policy and will not honor my medical record history. This will happen to you, it's not a matter of the "IF" in Life, it's a Matter of the when!
I urge all who have disability policies with METLIFE to review your coverage and and research this company yourself. Their claim denials are everywhere on the internet with people just like myself who have become disabled and are denied benefits. Don't take my story for granted, just see for yourself.

Oh does this sound familiar....
SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 07, 2006POSTED: Thursday, December 07, 2006
In order to get help with my situation, I first emailed Ted Kennedy. He forwarded it on to one of my state senators and things did happen.
If you have a legitimate reason that you are totally disabled, especially if you are receiving SSI, you should be able to get your disability.
They denied me for years until this ruling
(( link removed by ROR))
I had an attorney but he didn't know anything about private disability, he only knew SS. I got rid of him and took them on myself. I had a 250-page notebook of medical records, treatments, medications, etc. I sent copies of the notebook to the ceo of MetLife, the ceo of NCR (who I worked for) my doctors and my state senator. MetLife kept asking for additional time and I thought it very funny that the day the above ruling was made, they agreed that I was due my benefits.
Don't just sit by and let them do this to you. Start emailing, making phone calls, and assembling any medical records you can find. You can beat them and don't need an attorney to do it.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 07, 2006POSTED: Thursday, December 07, 2006
We were always instructed to deny ALL claims as soon as they were received. No matter what the disability and no matter what the situation was. ALL CLAIMS WERE DENIED.
Some people received these notices and never followed up. others chose to pursue the matters. This meant that most of the time, initial denials did work to save the company money when claimants didn't respond.
All claims were investigated to the fullest extent. If you currently have a claim with the company, don't be surprised if you feel you're being followed. Surveillance of claimants is a very common practice and this evidence is used to deny claims on a daily basis.
Business practices at this company and many other insurance companies is absolutely shameful.
Fines paid by these companies for deceiptful practices do not compare to the money they save by denying claims and destroying people's lives.
I left the company after a very heated discussion of one of my claims. The claimant was an anesthesiologist who had suffered and injury to his hand and was unable to continue performing his occupation. The policy paid a substantial amount of money in monthly benefits if it were a normal person in any other occupation but it fell extremely short of covering his living expenses.
Needless to say, at the instruction of my manager, I was forced to deny this claim over and over. This claimant lost his home, his vehicles, and other posessions but most importantly, he was forced to withdraw his children from college because he could no longer afford to pay.
It was the last draw for me. I could not continue to be a part of such a shameful occupation. I would never do business with them, let alone ever work for them again.
Ove the years, I have seen many published articles of disciplinary actions and fines taken against the company and I could not be happier. I pray that someday I will see it shut down completely.
I can only offer one bit of advise. DON'T DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THEM.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Group just trying to raise awareness
Published: Saturday, December 9, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.

To The Editor: I am writing in response to a letter from Sept. 24 titled "Find better way to fight cancer." The writer compared the Bares It All group to prostitution.
Through the years the Apple Festival has gotten bigger and better, bringing thousands of dollars to our community. This year Bares It All was one of the many booths that sold items which had nothing to do with our "good harvest."
I visited the festival on two separate occasions this year. Neither time did I notice women "hanging body parts out for everyone to gawk at."
I am a wife, a mother of two great kids, a nurse and very proud to be one of the 2006 calendar girls. I hold myself and my family up to very high standards of decency.
I work in a cancer clinic giving chemotherapy to hundreds of people every year. So, as you see, I am a full supporter of any organization that brings awareness, education and financial support to our community.
If you ever had to spend a day in the life of a cancer survivor, you would feel differently. Awareness is the message that Bares it All is trying to bring to our community.

Forensic Scientist
Odds of Getting In
Thanks to advancements in technology and method, jobs in the forensic sciences are expected to grow by an impressive 27% in the next ten years or so, a rate considered much faster than average for other fields. But while that may, at first, sound like great news to potential job seekers, the fact of the matter is that amidst the utter bombardment of the U.S. populace by CSI television shows, competition is growing even faster (source).
As with many careers sporting the word "science" in the job description, the jobs are going to go to the most educated applicants. So while that two-year program might sound attractive in the short term, it won't mean anything if it doesn't turn into a job once you graduate.

I've installed the multiple authors plugin and would also like to use the subscribe to comments plugin as well.
When I activate the plugin and set the text for 'subscribe', 'already subscribed', etc. I don't always see the 'subscribe to comments' option with each blog post.
There is no rhyme or reason to it either. It could be a post with a single author, one that I've written, one that another person has written, or anything.
There are posts with multiple authors that I've started and those that I've contributed to, and the subscribe option shows up. It doesn't seem to matter if there are comments already or not.
I'm also seeing the 'you are already subscribed' text for posts that I have not yet subscribed to.
Any thoughts on this?

I decided to try this dish for New Years Lunch. I managed to obtain all the ingredients by our local Indian spice store. Followed the recipe to the letter. The end result was worth all the time and effort. So many new flavours and spices. Urad dhal...must look for recipes to use this ingredient. Another successful curry to add to my cookbook. Thanks Daydream
This recipe creates an authentic Indian curry, which I was looking for (I tire of the "North Americanized" versions). It was my first time making it and it was fabulous! Thanks very much.
WOW!!!! This was a true curry lovers thrill - the bit of work involved is so worth it. Lol - I had a couple of mishaps (my fault)...I don't have a coffe grinder so I thought I'd be clever and put the dry-roasted spice mix in the small bowl of my food processor...big mistake!! Whole spices flew everywhere..lol...I transferred the spices to my mortar and pestle and ground them by hand. Also when I added the mustard seeds to the hot oil they popped all over the place...heehee, I must get a splatter guard...there were mustard seeds everywhere!!! When I added the garlic,ginger, curry leaves and shallots the mustard seeds settled down and seemed happy to stay in the pan :). I used grated fresh coconut (which my partner cut up with his power saw..lol)and 4 Tbsp of fresh minced chilli...I also used a 1.6kg leg of lamb which I cut into 1/2 - 1 inch cubes and 3 cups of water, cooked the curry for 4 hours over a very low heat....the result was delicious, the kids said they could smell it cooking from up the street!!! This curry got a five star thumbs up from all - and we are big curry lovers!! Unfortunately I couldn't find the Urad Dal - hopefully I will find it before I want to cook this again because I'm sure it will add to the meal. Thanks Daydream for a dish that is more an experience than just something to eat!!
AWESOME!! This is absolutely delicious. It is more time consuming than the other curries I usually cook but that is probably because I had to buy a whole coconut and had the pain of trying to open it, extract the flesh and then grate it (I decided I would prefer it grated). I was starting to wonder if it was worth it but having tasted it I can highly recommend it! I didn't have lamb so used beef instead. I also added the spice mix before the meat because I like to fry all my masala well beforehand to avoid any "raw spice" taste. If you do that, make sure you add a little hot water to avoid the spices from burning... Thanks Wendy - a well deserved 5 star!!

DURHAM, N.H. (AP) � The Mill Pond Dam in Durham, N.H., is turning 100.
Residents and historical associations gathered Sunday to eat birthday cake and learn about the history of the dam, which uses buttresses and cement. It is one of only five left of its type in the state.
People gathered Sunday afternoon on the banks of the Oyster River to commemorate the anniversary.
The dam is eligible for the state and national historical registers. It was also nominated to the Preservation Alliance's 2010 Seven to Save endangered properties list.
