Got this on the last deal posted. Works as advertised, but be aware that you'll get about half charge of your rated battery, which is true for most battery packs, For example, This pack is 10000 mAh, and my phone has a 5150mAh battery. I can only get one empty-to-full charge out of this battery pack when charging while the phone is powered on. At the end, there is just a little bit of charge left, perhaps enough for an emergency call. Part of the reason is waste by going through the charging circuit, and part is because these ratings are always fake. I bet this pack only has 8000-9000mAh of real capacity. I won't fault Samsung, because they all seem to have that characteristic.
Forgot to mention that the size of this pack is also pretty good. It's about the size of a modern smart phone with a heavy duty otterbox case on it, although much heavier.
Bought these in June 2019 when they were on sale for $10. They work well but never seem to fully top off when charging. Of the four battery level lights, the fourth will flash forever and never show a solid green. Maybe this is by design but unlike other battery packs I’ve previously owned. I’d buy it again but for no more than $15.
