The Traveler’s Take
There are plenty of portable battery solutions available. The main win for travelers with the 7500 is its balance between size and capacity. Not much larger than a Snickers bar, it’s a no-brainer to toss it in your pack.
And its 7500 mAh output is powerful enough to charge just about any mobile device, up to and including iPads. That and the fact that it’s compatible with any device that charges via a standard USB cable should satisfy most travelers.
Just about the only thing it won’t charge is a netbook or laptop. If you’re looking for that kind of juice, step up to iWalk’s Extreme 8200 or Extreme 15000. The latter puts out a whopping 15600 mAh of power – plenty capable of charging even a full-sized laptop.
