The LAX battery packs a powerful 10,000 mAh battery which is enough to charge an iPhone more than three times. Despite all that power, it has a compact size. LAX says it's the size of a credit card, but that only describes the width and height. When you include the depth, it's more like the size of a deck of cards, which is still quite pocketable. It also has a nice, comfortable, rubbery grip. Mine is basic black but it also comes in gray, red, or pink.
The power is provided in two 5V/2A USB ports so it can also feed power-hungry devices like an iPad. Another nice touch is that it is 1.2 Meter drop tested to military standard.
