Want the best accessories for iPhone, iPad, iPod TOUCH and Apple Watch? Look at what we bring you today.
Looking for a powerful external battery for our iOS devices, we went shopping on Amazon. We needed one because, many times, in our daily hustle and bustle, especially our iPhone in the middle of the afternoon ran out of battery.
The use of social networks, especially Instagram Stories and Snapchat, consumes excessive battery life and almost "forces" you to buy a power supply.That support is called Poweradd Pilot X7, it is powerful (20,000mAh), it has a good price (€18.99) and it is very good.
A while ago we told you about another great portable battery, the Mophie Powerstation 6200, less powerful and that we recommend you buy if you are looking for something less powerful and smaller.
We tell you about our experience with the Poweradd Pilot X7. We already let you know on our Instagram account, by the way. Do you follow us?

Inside it we can find the battery itself, a USB charger to connect it to a power adapter (for example the iPhone) and a card with product support information and instructions for use.

The box does not come with a lightning connection cable. Therefore, you must use the one that comes with the iPhone to connect it to the battery and be able to charge the device.

It has two USB ports to charge two devices at the same time and a smaller port, on the side, to connect your USB to the power outlet.

How many charges can be done with the battery?
In a period of 4 days and after disconnecting it from the power, we have been able to make this number of charges:
- 3 full iPhone X charges
- 1 full charge of iPhone 6
- Charging an iPad Air 2 up to 80%
Not bad knowing that the iPhone X has a 2,716mAh battery, the iPhone 6 has a 1,810mAh battery and the iPad Air 2 of 7.340 mAh. Adding all the charges give a total of 17,298mAh consumed. To this we must add the time they have been able to be connected to the external battery after reaching 100% charge.
Poweradd Pilot X7 external battery review:
-
Pros:
First of all say that we are very happy. We bought it for €18.99 and for that price having a battery with these characteristics is an option to keep in mind.
The charges it has given to our devices have exceeded our expectations. Our iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and AirPods will never run out of battery no matter where we are.
-
Cons:
But it's not all good things. The only against that we have found is its weight and dimensions. It is a little big and, above all, heavy. It's not that it weighs much but it shows and carrying it in our backpack, briefcase, bag shows.
Regarding the size, we think that being somewhat larger than an iPhone 6, and thicker (2.2cm) it makes itself noticeable wherever we take it. Accustomed to using less powerful and smaller batteries, we've gotten the same bad habit.
But in short, it is a great product that, despite its dimensions and weight, we recommend you buy. If you are looking for a cheap, powerful and good external battery, do not hesitate. Here's your purchase link.
Without further ado, we hope you have been interested in this article and soon more reviews on the best accessories for iOS and WatchOS devices.
