The Apple iPhone XR tests out as having one of the longest life batteries in the entire iPhone line. But that doesn't mean jack when it's 7pm and you're at 4%. Enter the ZeroLemon iPhone XR Battery Case. It's a 5000 mAh battery neatly tucked into a smart case design that lets you gain lots and lots more battery life - and phone life - at the cost of just a bit more weight. Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ checks out the ZeroLemon Battery Case and finds that while it's not going to win any awards for aesthetics, it's darn useful for people tired of their phones dying at the most inconvenient times.

an iPhone case that will ensure your
0:01
phone never dies let's have a look Dave
0:11
Taylor here and I'm looking at this case
0:13
this is the zerolemon iPhone 10 R
0:16
battery case and it is not gonna win any
0:19
awards in the looks department but boy
0:21
the functionality is really cool let's
0:23
go ahead and I'll take the phone out and
0:25
notice how I'm doing this you take the
0:27
top you bend it down and you slide the
0:30
phone out it is important to do that the
0:32
right way or it will not work so here's
0:34
the iPhone 10 R with its 2942 milliamp
0:39
hour battery that's a pretty decent
0:41
sized battery and the 10 R is known as
0:44
having some of the best battery life of
0:46
any of the iPhone series so that's good
0:48
but you can still run out of battery so
0:51
that's where this case comes in you can
0:53
see has like a big hump on the back
0:55
that's an extra battery but that's not
0:57
just an extra battery the same size this
0:59
is a five thousand milliamp hour battery
1:01
so that's like one and a half additional
1:04
charges pretty handy the front is again
1:08
pretty straightforward it has a built-in
1:10
lightning connector just a little stub
1:12
at the bottom and so to put the phone
1:14
into the case do this right or you will
1:17
not be happy you bend the case back so
1:20
you can sort of put the phone into the
1:22
top and then you slide it in until it's
1:25
properly connected with the lightning
1:27
connector and then you just pop the top
1:29
over and now you have the case fully on
1:32
and it's on the iPhone and it doesn't
1:35
have much in the way of protection but
1:37
it has a lot of battery life so that's
1:39
good it does make your phone heavier
1:41
this is a 6.2 ounce case so that means
1:44
your phone feels about twice the weight
1:47
now it's funny I read one review on
1:49
Amazon where they were complaining that
1:51
it felt like they had a brick in their
1:53
pocket in which case I wonder if they've
1:55
ever actually held a brick because
1:56
bricks are a lot heavier than this be
1:59
that as it may it is important to know
2:01
that zerolemon has had a long history of
2:03
actually working with battery systems so
2:06
they have short circuit over current
2:08
overcharge over voltage and temperature
2:10
protection systems built in
2:13
and they have a smart charge so if you
2:15
plug it into your lightning connector
2:18
charger which is how you would need to
2:20
charge it then it will charge your phone
2:22
to a hundred percent and then charge the
2:24
extra battery so that's perfect you plug
2:27
it in when you go to bed and then when
2:29
you wake up in the morning everything's
2:30
fully charged and ready to go your phone
2:32
is gonna run as long as it runs and then
2:35
whenever you're ready there's a power
2:36
button on the back that you push and now
2:39
it's starting to charge now the power
2:41
button also gives you access to there
2:43
are four LEDs that show you the power
2:45
status of the zerolemon battery so we're
2:48
at three out of four so that's not bad
2:50
the phone itself is at a hundred percent
2:53
and it's charging I can see that in the
2:55
corner and I have an additional at least
2:58
one full charge probably one and a half
3:00
charges on the extra battery case now I
3:03
talked about the building lightning
3:04
connector that's important because it
3:07
does not work with wireless charging you
3:09
wouldn't expect it to with having this
3:10
big metal plate on the back but it is
3:13
important to know that this is the only
3:15
way to charge this whole set up without
3:17
popping your phone out of the case so
3:20
not much else to talk about here I think
3:22
that aesthetically it's not gonna win
3:24
any awards it's certainly functional but
3:26
it's not pretty if you're looking for
3:28
really pretty than you probably aren't
3:29
gonna get a second battery because
3:31
that's just how the sort of designs and
3:33
how these sort of products work but if
3:35
you're tired of your phone running out
3:37
of juice at like 9 or 10 p.m. then
3:39
something like this makes it a whole lot
3:41
easier than having to hunt for a power
3:43
outlet and having to sit there and let
3:44
it charge for half an hour so this is a
3:47
really nice alternative if you have
3:48
really long hikes or long conventions or
3:51
really long days at school or whatever
3:53
and you just don't have access to a
3:55
convenient electricity so let's see let
3:58
me show you also how to take it off I
4:00
showed you that earlier I'll do it again
4:02
you bend the top back and then it just
4:04
slides right out super easy but do it
4:07
the wrong way and you could potentially
4:08
actually break the lightning stub in
4:11
your phone which would be really like
4:13
the worst case possible ending so don't
4:16
do that now the only thing let's talk
4:18
about is the price and they've done a
4:20
nice job of making it affordable but
4:22
before we get to the price go ahead and
4:24
click on that subscribe button and
4:25
subscribe to my
4:27
channel really appreciate when you do
4:28
that and give me some feedback how do
4:30
you deal with having the big you know
4:32
battery life issues on your phone do you
4:34
have an external battery are you one of
4:36
those wall outlet hunters or do you just
4:39
cope and say oh well my phone's dying I
4:41
guess I just won't have a phone for a
4:42
couple hours so this is an interesting
4:44
alternative this is the zerolemon iPhone
4:48
10 hour battery case five thousand
4:50
milliamp hour battery sleekly built into
4:53
the case and it will cost you thirty
4:55
four ninety-nine at amazon.com so this
4:59
is Dave Taylor I'm going to get back to
5:00
charging my phone which means I'll catch
5:02
you in my next video
