A really nice, solid device….,
I like the fact it has no off / on switch (they are unnecessary i find on these types of devices) and it seems to make short work of charging my Ipad Air. The main issues with these types of devices is capacity (very good rated at 13000mAh) and longevity (stated at 500 cycles, which is also very good – but ultimately untestable for review purposes). 🙂
Build quality is excellent and the jacks and usb inserts seem well secured.
I have used this brand before and found it has been of excellent quality, so i have little doubt this will also hold up well.
The iSmart technology i don’t really get and i think either port will do for most devices. Generally a device will draw from the available amps and does not require any protocol so i’m sure they are promoting it with their own branded name (I could be wrong but for the most part the 2.4 amp port will be fine). I find the flashlight a bit gimmicky but truth be told it actually came in hand the other night so maybe the manufacturer knows more than i do!
The device is slim so it will fit in the pocket of your laptop bag or tablet case and it just uses generic USB cables which is great if you happen to misplace one because they are cheap to replace.
Overall a solid device that performs as stated (and a flashlight in case you need that)

An external battery without flaws,
Mobile devices and tablets are getting larger but batteries aren’t, which is why it is almost essential to carry an external battery like the RAVPower 3rd Gen Deluxe 13000mAh or 15000mAh External Batteries.
▶ Package Contents
• RAVPower RP-PB22 External Battery Pack
• USB to Micro USB Charging Cables
• Micro-USB to Samsung 30-pin connector
• Micro-USB to Mini-USB connector
• Travel Pouch
• User Manual
▶ Accessories
Because the RAVPower RP-PB22 (13000mAh) and RP-PB19 (15000mAh) are both the “Deluxe” series, they get more accessories than other RAVPower batteries (or even external batteries in general). Having a micro USB cable is a standard accessory to external batteries, but these batteries have two micro USB cables, a carrying pouch, and two micro USB connectors.
For starters, I always love companies that use common non-proprietary cables, because they are easily accessible if ever lost or stolen, but also having two connectors that convert micro USB is like icing on the cake. I’ve never seen a micro USB to mini USB or Samsung 30 pin connector before, so seeing these connectors were a real delight. These will be very useful, as they will save space on trips that I’d usually have to carry an extra mini USB cable.
▶ Specifications
• Model: RP-PB22
• Input: DC 5V/1.5A
• Smart Output 1: (USB 5V/1A-2.4A)
• Smart Output 2: (USB 5V/1A-2.1A)
• Dimensions: 127 x 81 x 22mm
• Net Weight: 306g / 10.8oz
• Capacity: 13000mAh/48.1Wh
• Working Temperature: 0° C – 45° C
• Storage Temperature: -10°C – 45° C
▶ Hardware
If you are deciding between RAVPower’s 13000mAh and 15000mAh batteries, then know that the differences from physical size and weight are negligible. The 15000mAh battery may be 1mm larger, but you couldn’t really tell the difference unless you are holding both batteries against each other. They both have two smart USB ports, a micro USB charging port, and a push button to either activate the LED charge indicator (instant press) or LED “flashlight”(2 second press). Although almost every single battery manufacturer attempts to add a “flashlight” to their external batteries, know that this is simply a gimmick. The LED is only visible within a foot or two; if you are looking for an LED flashlight then buy one separately.
Build wise, the curved edges with the black and silver trim and soft blue LED indicator makes this one of the most aesthetically pleasing batteries (and my favorite). RAVPower maintained the style of their last gen 12000mAh battery and improved its capacity.
LED Indicator:
• 4 LED = 75% – 100%
• 3 LED = 50% – 75%
• 2 LED = 25% – 50%
• 1 LED = <25%
▶ Set up
• Charging the Power Bank.
1. Connect the micro USB end of the charging cable to the power bank.
2. Connect the USB end of the charging cable to any USB power source.
3. Charging will start automatically.
The battery indicator will start blinking when the power bank is being charged, and become solid once fully charged.
• Charging Mobile Devices
1. Connect the USB end of the charging cable to the power bank.
2. Connect the other end of your charging cable to your device.
3. The power bank will automatically detect your device and start charging.
The power bank will automatically stop charging and turn itself OFF when device is fully charged.
Note: Not all power banks automatically turn off. Having the battery automatically turn off is a very good feature in external battery packs to conserve the external battery pack.
▶ Testing
I performed an efficiency test with my Nexus 7 (2013) running Android L and sporting a 3950mAh battery. Because the external battery is very large, I had to perform multiple trials. Because multiple trials are performed, there is a chance that the external battery will discharge. I am willing to be lenient on the usual 60%-65% efficiency rate that external batteries charge.
Time – Nexus 7 charge %
• Trial 1:
11:16AM – 20%
12:10PM – 45%
1:11PM – 72%
2:01PM – 92%
2:25PM – 100%
Total Trial 1 Time: 3 hours 9 minutes (3.15h)
• Trial 2:
10:24PM – 40%
10:55PM – 59%
11:54PM – 90%
12:40AM – 100%
Total Trial 2 Time: 2 hours 16 minutes (2.27h)
• Trial 3:
9:15AM – 0%
9:43AM – 16%
9:51AM – 21%
11:01AM – 44%
12:02PM – 70%
1:01AM – 94% (RAVPower Battery turned off)
Total Trial 3 Time: 3…

Very Capacious External Battery,
In order to test this battery charger I decided to completely drain my small electronic devices so that I get as clean of an idea of this battery’s efficiency as I can. (As an aside, when you really want to discharge them, the consumer electronics has become really robust in recent year. It took me much longer than I thought it would. I had to blast music from my iPhone for hours and hours …) I discover that I was able to fully charge all of my small electronic devices with plenty of power to spare. Most of them I was able to charge several times, and thanks to dual USB ports, was able to charge up to two devices at once. Full charging usually takes between one to two hours. I’ve tested this battery with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5S, Kindle Paperwhite, Mobee Magic Bar, Jabra SPORT Bluetooth Stereo Headset , and iPad Mini. Oftentimes I was able to fully charge four or five devices with just one fully charged RAVPower battery. I was also able to charge my iPad Mini completely twice. If there was an easy way of connecting this battery to an ultrabook I would not be surprised if it would be possible to charge it to a decent amount as well.
This RAVPower battery is also beautifully designed. You would not be ashamed of being spotted with this battery at a trendy tech conference. The battery is very easy to use and operate, and overall very intuitively designed.
I am very pleased and impressed with this rechargeable external battery. It is effective and portable. It is a bit on the high end in terms of the price in this category, but not unreasonably so. I think that the extra price in this case might well be worth it. I would recommend it to anyone who travels a lot or uses their gadgets on the go all the time. It can even be carried around in your messenger bag during your daily commute – it will not add that much extra weight.
