Whether you're an iPhone power user and road warrior or just want to keep your iPad or iPad Pro fully charged while on a transatlantic flight, being able to have spare juice is a huge win. Problem is, most require you to also carry along the right cables both for charging the device and charging, well, YOUR device. Enter the Olala iPhone Lightning Power Bank: It's not only got capacity to spare with 7500 mAh, it also has built-in lightning and USB cables. Perfect. Dave Taylor of http://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ explores this slick device and talks about its various uses and benefits...

hey Dave Taylor here again and this time
0:07
I want to talk about power but I want to
0:09
talk about battery power and I want to
0:12
talk about Chargers because if you have
0:14
any modern device smartphone tablet
0:17
whatever you probably find that there
0:19
are moments when you really wish you
0:21
could plug it in and charge it but it
0:22
just doesn't really work and it's not
0:24
convenient where I mostly see this is
0:26
when I'm at trade shows where I leave my
0:29
hotel room at 8:30 in the morning 800 in
0:32
the morning and then I'm on the go till
0:33
midnight now somewhere along the way
0:35
it's inevitable that my iPhone or my
0:38
tablet is going to run out of juice so I
0:41
bring an extra battery now turns out
0:44
that on Modern smartphones you can't
0:46
really swap out batteries like you could
0:48
in the old days now some Androids still
0:50
let you do that honestly I think that
0:52
whole feature is going to go away then
0:55
again with the Note 7 maybe if you could
0:58
pull out the battery Samsung would have
1:00
a whole lot easier time with the recall
1:02
enough said on that topic so going back
1:06
to my smartphone I have an iPhone this
1:08
is my 6s hopefully later this week I
1:11
will have an iPhone 7 and both of them
1:13
still use a lightning connector and both
1:15
of them still will probably not be happy
1:17
running from 88: in the morning until
1:19
midnight without a little top up
1:21
somewhere and so external battery
1:23
chargers super sensible and the one I
1:26
have that I'm looking at right now is
1:28
really cool this is the olala
1:30
s75 and there's a couple things that
1:32
make it cool the first one is that it's
1:34
powerful it's huge it is 7500 milliamp
1:38
of charging capacity which means that
1:40
this is plenty enough juice that you can
1:42
pass it around at your business lunch or
1:45
dinner at a cocktail party and you can
1:47
let all sorts of people top up their
1:49
devices with it which makes you lots of
1:51
friends I will say and it still will
1:53
have plenty of juice for you to do
1:55
multiple 0 to 100% charges I me 7500
1:58
milliamps is a lot of juice but what
2:01
makes this way more cool is that you
2:03
don't have to scramble for cables
2:06
because you open it up and the cables
2:09
are right built in and there's two
2:11
cables here so one of which is the USB
2:14
cable which obviously makes it super
2:16
easy to charge just plug it into any USB
2:19
Jack whether it's a wall charger or a
2:22
computer Heck if you're having a meeting
2:24
at a trade show and they have a computer
2:26
right there you could literally plug
2:28
this in and top this up while you're
2:30
having your meeting how cool is that but
2:32
where this really gets nice is you put
2:34
that one away you have the other one
2:36
sticking out and now you are ready to go
2:39
and you got your lightning connector you
2:41
plug that right into your device and
2:44
let's see it should be charging now here
2:47
we go oh I see my phone's off but you
2:49
know now I'm charging and this is
2:51
something I can leave in my purse
2:53
backpack I can even put it in my pocket
2:56
and so while I'm walking from one
2:57
meeting to the next my phone's top up
3:00
and when I'm done just go ahead and
3:03
slide this open put the lightning cable
3:05
back into it slide it closed no extra
3:09
cables no extra hassle nothing to get
3:11
lost it's always ready to roll now the
3:14
only limitation with any of these sort
3:16
of devices with this design is that of
3:18
course if you come across your friend
3:20
with an Android phone and they say
3:23
that's nice what about micro USB then
3:25
you say dude micro USB that's so like
3:31
2015 but in one way or the other you
3:33
definitely can't use this for both micro
3:36
USB and lightning but it's super
3:39
convenient and then olala has put in a
3:42
ton of safety things on this so let me
3:44
just go down the list it has overd
3:46
discharge protection overcharge
3:48
protection over current protection over
3:51
voltage protection short circuit
3:53
protection intrusion prevention and even
3:56
temperature protection so basically this
3:59
will detect any anomalous scenario
4:01
including if your phone starts to get
4:03
too hot or if this device starts to get
4:06
too hot um if you get into a situation
4:08
where the current's Reversed or once
4:11
it's fully charged all of these it
4:12
recognizes and it will do the
4:14
appropriate thing so once your device is
4:16
fully charged this will turn off super
4:18
helpful so you don't overcharge your
4:20
device and what I also like what I find
4:23
that I do with these a lot is I use both
4:25
cables so I can sort of simultaneously
4:28
charge this device and my um phone or
4:32
whatever other lightning device by you
4:34
know literally having both cables out
4:36
and then you plug one into either your
4:39
computer or the wall charger while the
4:41
other one's plugged into your device and
4:44
so at that point now it will charge your
4:47
device all the way and then when it's
4:49
done it will then charge itself all the
4:51
way so this is the perfect overnight
4:53
scenario and the next morning you pick
4:55
it up you unplug you put the wires in
4:58
you've seen me do this before you slide
5:00
it back closed again and you are fully
5:02
ready to rock and roll and you've got
5:04
days of power this is probably great for
5:07
backpacking trips too days and days of
5:10
power there so the olala s75 7500
5:15
milliamp hour battery charger with
5:17
built-in lightning and USB cables how
5:19
much would you pay for this well on
5:22
Amazon it's 89 bucks but right now they
5:25
have it on sale for
5:27
$42.99 I don't know how long that's
5:29
going to last F but 42 bucks is a pretty
5:31
screaming deal for this considering that
5:33
it's 20 to 30 bucks just to get one of
5:36
those like tube Chargers and then you
5:38
have to deal with all the cables
5:39
yourself and most of those are way less
5:42
than 7500 milliamp hours so olala s75
5:47
this is Dave Taylor and I'll catch you
5:49
