Power Bank
How do I charge the power bank?
To charge the power bank, connect the power bank via the micro USB to USB cable (included) to your computer or wall charger using the USB adapter port. Insert the micro USB end into the 5V input port on the power bank. Your power bank will charge faster when using a wall adapter. It is best to avoid using a car charger as the output fluctuates and can damage the power bank.

Most power banks (1800 – 3000 mAh) will fully charge within 3-4 hours. When not in use, it is best to store the power bank with a 50% charge or more.

To charge your device, use your device’s sync and charge cable to connect your device to the power bank. Connect your phone to the cable then insert the USB endinto the 5V output port on the power bank.
When should I charge my device?
It is best to begin recharging your device when it is around 30%. The power bank will drain more quickly if you wait until your phone battery is empty to begin charging as the initial 0 – 30% of a charge cycle is the most strenuous.
What devices will the power bank charge?
The power bank will charge any portable device that uses a USB adapter. There is no software on the power bank, so there will be no compatibility issues with the power bank itself. The cable included with the power bank has a micro USB adapter (meant to charge the power bank itself) and will not work to charge apple products. It is recommended to use the power cord that comes with your portable device.
