Bought one of these yesterday & if anyone had been thinking about getting a battery pack type of thing for their iPhone I can give you an insight into how good this is.

So other competitors would be the Mophie Powerstation Mini (2500mah) at €55 or the Belkin Power Pack (2000mah) for €20 both on Amazon.co.uk

This specific model is nice and small and comes with various adapters for different phones.

It's a 2100mah battery and after a bit of testing these are the specifics:

It takes 3 hours to charge with micro USB to the apple wall charger.

My iPhone 5s was at 10% and I plugged it into the Juice Cube and left it on the table for a while. It went from 10% to 100% in around 1hr 45 mins and then the Juice Cube ran out of juice.


So it's a pretty good device for €30 to give you an almost full top up of your 5s if you're stuck. Anyone else use one?

Hopefully this helps someone looking for something similar. I'll keep this updated over the next few weeks as I use it.

Is this any use for an iPad mini and a HTC One? Be handy for travelling!

Havent got mine yet so cant say for sure, but going by the reviews on the site nobody has had any problems so far, works as described, comes in a few different colours too. Worth a gamble for less than €7 delivered.

I did it a day after the link, so hopefully tomorrow. Strangely, it works fine on the 5. But dies almost instantly on a 4 or ipad 2

I really wouldn't fancy charging any of my devices with something bought from deal xtreme.
