ADCB POW1 - Emergency USB Battery Powered Power Bank Compact Portable 4 AA Batteries Ideal for Smartphones, Tablets, Mobile, Apple, iPhone, Android

I have some rechargeable power banks for my iPhone, but once they are depleted, you can’t recharge them when the power is out. We had a multi day outage this year, and that prompted me to purchase this. As long as you have spare AA’s, you are good to go.

I put in brand new batteries and the charger worked. I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone

We live in coastal Florida and have an emergency kit in case of hurricane. However, we have found an emergency kit important on the west coast (fires and earthquakes) and in other places for tornados. One of the main items is a way to re-charge your phone if (when) the electricity goes out. With scores of these battery operated re-chargers available on Amazon.com, we noticed that most are intended to use for travel - so, plug it in, recharge, and throw into your carry-on luggage for temporary use when your phone loses its charge. Simple. However, our concern was in keeping our phones working for several days or more. Having electricity to re-charge the power bank would not be available. We kept looking and finally found this model that runs on four AA batteries. Bingo! Bought a large pack of AA batteries at Amazon.com (see photo) and now, if the power goes out, our phones will continue up to work limited only until we run out of AA batteries. Note. The connection going into the USB power bank is USB B. A power cord was not included. When ordering a power cord you will want USB B on one end and whatever connection goes into your phone on the other (see photo for what our iPhones use). Plenty of selection available at Amazon.com for all phones, but be sure to buy one that is your phone's brand or certified to work on your phone type, such as "certified to work on Apple iPhone," etc. or the cord likely will not work (I found out the hard way). Plusses: As long as I have AA batteries and a cell signal, I am in business (see photo). Small device packs easily (see photo of our pack ready for the hurricane kit). Minuses: None observed. Summary: Recommended.

we recently had a huge storm and power was out for a very long time. I had to sit in my car, in the driveway with high winds and lightning and thunder - pouring rain - to charge my phone and iPad. Never again. This will work perfectly! I bought another one for my daughter and her family who also had the same issue.

I might not have read all the details, but this was a disappointment for me. I thought it was chargeable so that I would not have to keep using a battery. I would have preferred getting one that is able to charge and hold charge for a long period and also able to plug in and charge from any socket or computer.

The charger does work, but it has randomly shut off on me during every use. The button is pressed, the batteries are full, and the light turns on but then unfortunately it does randomly stop charging my phone. Good for the price but not super convenient given the circumstances

I really like the product to be available should our electricity go off or charging my phone while travelling.I like that it is safe to take on an airplane as well.

JUNKI bought this for my daughter living in Florida for emergency purposes during hurricane. It does not work. It says it is charging for about 30 seconds, then shuts off. Tried multiple cords & batteries.
