hi Dave Taylor here again and I'm
0:07
convinced that someday all our gadgets
0:09
will charge themselves it'll be through
0:11
solar motion radio waves whatever it is
0:15
all of these things will just magically
0:16
charge unfortunately that's not today
0:19
today we have to worry about our phones
0:21
dying whether we're in the middle of a
0:23
concert on a hike maybe at a trade show
0:25
you're on an airport or maybe you're
0:28
half way across the Atlantic on some
0:30
long flight enter charging batteries
0:33
this is actually a really interesting
0:35
one this is the naztech PB 5000 I pocket
0:39
power bank and looks like a regular old
0:42
little charging device but it has a
0:45
little secret up its sleeve but before I
0:47
get there it's 5,000 milliamp hours so
0:49
that's two full charges for something
0:51
like an iPhone but what makes this
0:53
particularly interesting is that it has
0:55
built-in cables so on this end we have a
0:59
built-in lightning cable and on the
1:01
other end actually has a built-in
1:03
microUSB now this is ideal for my
1:06
daughter for example because she has an
1:08
ipod that uses lightning and her phone
1:11
uses micro USB so she can charge both
1:14
devices in fact you can charge them both
1:16
simultaneously with this and just to
1:19
demonstrate let's plug this into my
1:20
phone and you push and hold this button
1:24
down for a moment or two and there you
1:26
go charging so super easy and weighs
1:31
four point six ounces so it's really
1:33
light I mean this is really easily
1:35
something you can toss in your purse or
1:36
your pocket or certainly your backpack
1:39
or something really easy to deal with I
1:41
like that it has both cables built-in it
1:44
also has what they call in teluk you
1:46
charge technology so supposedly it
1:49
actually figures out what's the maximum
1:51
charge it could push to any given device
1:53
so that it charges things as quickly as
1:56
possible it also has all these circuit
1:58
protection systems so there's no short
2:00
circuiting if it starts to heat up or it
2:03
detects the device starts to heat up
2:04
it'll shut down all these sort of useful
2:07
features now there's also an LED power
2:09
indicators which is super handy when you
2:12
want to know how much
2:13
do I have left but the only thing I'll
2:15
say is it's really really nice I like
2:18
the design I like that it has both micro
2:22
USB and lightning because you never know
2:25
when you're going to need either or both
2:27
or want to be best friends with someone
2:29
who happens to have the other kind of
2:30
device but the only thing I will say on
2:33
this device is that the cables
2:36
themselves feel a little flimsy so you
2:39
can see here it's pretty thin this is
2:42
not a super robust device so I suspect
2:46
has probably got about a one or two year
2:47
lifespan depending on your usage but
2:50
heck it's only 24 99 so it's not like
2:53
it's a huge investment there are much
2:55
more expensive devices that do exactly
2:57
the same thing so I think this is
3:00
definitely worth checking out and if
3:01
particularly if you need both types of
3:03
connectors this is a real win this is
3:05
the naztech PB 5000 I pocket power back
3:10
I'm big Taylor and I'll catch in my next
