But wait, why would I plug in a cable to the battery instead of directly to the phone to achieve faster phone charging? I suppose if I only had a 5 watt charger on hand? But if that is the case, why does it not charge at 15 watts when not plugged in?

- stu2b50 5y agoYou could charge the battery pack and the phone at the same time. Saves you a cable/brick when you need to charge both.
- etempleton 5y agoThat makes sense. Feels like a stretch to advertise it as a feature. I would think the use case for this would be to charge up battery and have it in your backpack to slap on when you need it. It is nice you can charge both at once. I suppose that it can charge the iPhone up to 15 watts only if the brick it is attached to is of a sufficiently high wattage. I think they are stretching to include that as a feature bullet point. Overall, I actually like the product quite a bit. Not sure how justifiable the price is when The competition sells a very similar product for less than half the price, but it is nicely designed and would be a convenient piece item to have in a bag.
