Sometimes you need just a little more power, but carrying around a heavy 10,000 mAh power pack is overkill. For those times, the IonGo 5K Duo Portable Battery ($74.95) from Moshi might be the perfect companion. Moshi sent me a review unit and it is compact and comfortable to the touch and stylish, thanks to the hand-stitched vegan leather exterior and aluminum accents, common with many of Moshi's accessories.
I really appreciated the integrated Lightning and USB-C cables that tuck away. Those are two less things to worry about remembering or losing. It doesn't have a huge battery life, but the 5,000 mAh of power should charge your iPhone a couple of times. It can also charge USB-C based devices since the integrated USB-C cable is bidirectional. It's not cheap; but the size and style mean you're more likely to bring it with you, in which case it could be a lifesaver.
Pros
- Pocketable and comfortable with hand-stitched vegan leather exterior
- Integrated cables (Lightning and USB-C) that tuck away
- 5,000 mAh of power in a compact form factor
- Aluminum accents
- Assorted color options
- Can charge devices and recharge via USB-C
Cons
- Expensive
Final Verdict
The IonGo 5K Duo Portable Battery from Moshi is a stylish, well-designed battery pack for Lightning and USB-C devices.
