BioLite  Charge 80 PD Power Bank

I’ve had this portable charger for about a year and I really like it for charging my phone on the go. I have a newer iPhone and I would say I can get about two full charges from the battery. Sometimes I even plug in a mini fan and it will last for hours.

The product description says "charges to full in 4 hrs by up to 18W USB-C PD" so I purchased a USP-C PD 18W/20W specifically to use with this device. In real time, it took 5 hours 42 minutes to fully charge. That's 1 hour 45 minutes longer than specified. Thus 4 stars. Afterwards I tested it with my phone that has a 5000 mAh battery and I got four charges out of it, as I was hoping. I let my phone drain down to 15% full prior to recharging it with the BioLite. I purchased it to take backpacking, but it's a little heavy at 16.4 oz. I will need to use it long term to see if it remains trouble free.

Amazing -- charges quite a few devices! It's a tad heavy, but I took this on a 5 day backpacking trip and never had to use my solar panel. It kept two iPhones charged (11 and 13) as well as my SpotX GSP tracker. Only lost 1 bar. A family member said they were able to charge their iPhone nearly 100% more than 5 times. Probably would leave the solar panel at home for future backpacking trips and just take this.

I took my new Biolite Charge 80 PD Fast USB-C PD Powerbank on a 5 day camping trip to the St. Regis Canoe Area in the Adirondacks this week. Specifically, I wanted to be able to charge my (relatively) new Oticon More hearing aids so I wouldn't miss the loon calls! Also, I had a new Garmin inReach Mini that I wanted to be sure stayed charged up, as well as an iPod, which I used to take photos. The Powerbank exceeded my expectations by charging the hearing aids and iPod every night reliably and hardly made a dent in its capacity. Plus, there's the added benefit of purchasing from a company whose values I support.

I have been using my Charge 80 PD daily for 18 months! I have traveled to Iceland with it & kept our 2 iphones and ipad charged for all the pics and research. I take it camping & it keeps my phone running for 4 days. On my daily charging, by my side, at my convenience. I recharge the 80PD periodically, so it is ready go when needed. A perfect life tool! I have even dropped it on bare concrete from 4+ feet up with no issue (other than my momentary panic & a slight discoloration on near a corner - see pic) I am shopping for a second unit for my wife & and highly recommend these to anyone concidering them!

I have only had it a year, and it stopped working.. used it just a few times and it won’t charge… not great. Not able to return because it’s over a year by just a few days.

It has plenty of capacity to charge my Galaxy S22 about 4 times when it's fullt charged, which is exactly what I expected. The problemis the power bank takes forever to charge. It's been 27 hours on a fast charging wall block and it's about 75% full according to the indicator lights. I took it to the Boundary Waters over Memorial Day weekend. I didn't have time to give it a full charge, so I went in to the wilderness with it at about 75%. It only charged my phone about 1 and a half times, so the light indicators seem inaccurate as well.

I bought these to charge with a 30W solar panel on my south facing balcony then charge other portable devices like cellphones or small USB packs. They work great. Just wish the charge indicator didn’t stay on the whole time in use. At my desk and night stand gave to flip them over. Light too annoying while working or going to sleep.

Worked great for a 5 day backpacking trip. Helped keep my GPS messenger full, two radios, a light and phone that was being used excessively for photos and still had 3 of 4 bars by the time we made it back. It is a little heavy but honestly, if you're going to be bringing electronics with you that don't use batteries, this is probably worth the weight. I didn't regret having it and will certainly bring it out again.

Decided to not buy a cheapy and spend the 80.00 for the biolite quality.but after using this i could of spent half as much n got the same quality..ive only used this a handfull of times and im not impressed.sometimes i only get half of a charge and it shuts down.i only got a couple charges off it also somtimes.it would show 3 bars and i would try charging my samsung a53 then i noticed no juice left and only got like 40% charge on my phone..this happened 3x so far.i wasnt happy about the money i spent.i mean i like to buy quality stuff thats why i bought this instead of buying a cheap 30.00 one online.but now that got the biolite 80.i could saved 40.00 and just went to wallmart.not pleased at all.only got 3 charges tops and it would usually stop when i said 3 bars left n go to nothing leaving me with 40% phone batt. Depressing really
