Like a wall outlet, anywhere… even while mobile (Updated for the 2nd gen, 2014 model)Frankly, I wouldn’t have thought to buy this for myself. I would have thought, “I can manage… I HAVE managed without this portable power plant of a battery so far…”And I have, for years, managed.But I received the E4 as a review unit (see disclosure below), and just threw it in my bag with my things when I went out.And once you realize you’ve got such in incredible reservoir of power everywhere with you, well, let’s just say your daily behavior that was previously subconscious to you… changes.THE “SO WHAT”:If you feel you’re making too many compromises for the sake of battery life (airplane mode, lowering the brightness, etc.), get yourself an external battery.

This updated version hit 11200mAh…
So far great device with one flaw 0
