Battery Operated Phone Charger Emergency|USB Battery Powered Power Bank Portable 4 AA Batteries Powered Outlet (Black)

Very light weight, but not in a good way. I'm a "it feels flimsy" way. Also the slots for the batteries are super tight. AA battery sizes can vary a small amount, so maybe my EBL rechargeable are on the big side, but I've not had issues using them in other devices. Really have to fight to put them in this thing.

UPDATE: Tested with alkaline batteries. After three hours, my 10k mAh power bank was still at 25% charge, and now the light doesn't work. Will be returning this, regretfully.There's a lot to like about this item. It's compact, with an easy-open top. The LED light is bright and steady. And the price is right. That said, it does seem to be a little slow.I tested it with the only two types of batteries I had on hand, a set of Super Heavy Duty ones from a dollar store, and a national brand rechargeable type. Alkaline batteries are strongly recommended by the manufacturer, and I don't doubt they'd yield better results than what I used. But here's what I found:After one hour, the Super Heavy Duty batteries had charged my older Android from 82% to 88%. After an additional hour, it was still there. Thinking the batteries may have died, I pulled and tested them. They were just about 35% depleted.The second test, with branded rechargeables, yielded similar results. After one hour, it charged to 95% from 88%, and wouldn't go any further. Those batteries tested out at around 30% depleted.Things I think would help yield better results: A faster cable, the proper type of battery, and charging a power bank instead of directly charging a phone. I have a few 10-20k mAh banks I'm going to fool with to see if I get better results.The bottom line? It does the job, albeit slowly, and would probably charge a small flip phone more quickly. With a good supply of AA alkalines, it's a good alternative to solar for an emergency tool kit, and worth the $7 I paid. I would buy it again.

I bought this specifically for Jamaica. This needed urgently because of lack of electricity caused by the hurricane. It works well and I plan to buy more in the near future

I like product, works perfectly

The charger actually works takes along time to charge especially while the phone is in use. Still a great buy.

It will do for an emergency but it takes an absolute age to recharge a phone

This charger has it's uses, however, it needs fresh, NEW alkaline batteries installed for optimum performance and will still take several hours to fully charge a cell phone. Not the most powerful thing you can buy but it is cheap and uses batteries. It will provide enough juice to dial 911 if required. Keep as a last resort backup charger.

I always have a lot of fully charged AA batteries lying around, so when the power goes out, I can put some of them into this device to charge my phone. It's cheap and simple. I tested it when I didn't need it and it worked fine.

If you have a get-home or bug-out bag, these are essential. I had a single battery one that used magnets to hold it, and it was only good for charging a dead phone to about 5%, but the battery got *HOT*.... it made me very nervous.This thing is perfect for an "emergency" and it doesn't rely on shorting out the battery and getting hot.Yes it has a light which is OK, but if you're like me and getting this for an emergency backup, you already have a light.

This is the worst charger I have ever had. Instead of charging it up, it went backwards. I started at 49%, and 2 hours later it was at 48%. So I had two other people try it out, thinking maybe I did something wrong. It did the same thing for them. Instead of charging it up, it charged it down. The only thing good on it is the flashlight. Don't waste your money.

This works.. This is a great product to have in an emergency, if you are out in the wilderness and both your mobile phone and your rechargeable Battery Bank have no power left..Just pop in 4 AA batteries and charge your mobile phone, easy..The result I got with my IPhone 16 (which uses a USB A to Lightning connector), using 4 new Duracell Plus batteries in this Battery Operated Phone Charger, my IPhone was charged to 56% from 4% in 5 hours..It gets you out of trouble, this can be a life saver.. And they are so affordable..Just keep plenty of AA batteries with you..Amazon have these batteries with a 10yr shelf life, a great compliment to a life saving situation..
