Crave Plus Portable charger review: An impressively thin portable battery

Last week, the Crave Plus battery made its way to my desk. I've never used any of Crave's products, so I didn't know what to expect from the very, very thin battery pack.The $50 Crave Plus is the thinnest battery pack I've tested, comparable to the profile of an iPhone 12 without a case. In fact, as I sit here looking at the pack, I realize it's roughly the same size and shape as an iPhone 12 Pro Max. That means it's portable and will slip into a backpack or pocket.Note: This review is part of our roundup of portable power banks. Go there for details on competing products and our testing methods. The pack has a capacity of 10,000mAh, or 38Wh. That's enough to charge your iPhone or Android phone two or three times before the battery pack is empty. The entire housing is made of metal, and almost entirely black with silver trim. There are three ports on the bottom of the pack: a microUSB port for charging the pack, and then a USB-C port for charging the pack or other devices, and a standard USB port. On the left edge of the pack, you'll find a power button, along with four status lights that represent the battery's charge level in 25 percent increments.To read this article in full, please click here https://www.pcworld.com/article/3610450/crave-plus-portable-charger-review-an-impressively-thin-portable-battery.html#tk.rss_all
