Power Banks Chargers?

Would you recommend this power bank?:

It's cheap and has a built in cable, so that's convenient. Is 5300 mah enough power?

Great! Thanks for the reply. Based on your past experiences, how many times could you charge your phone with this size of a battery? I have an iPhone 4s by the way.

I'm considering getting the EasyAcc battery you recommended now. The YOOBAO 13000 mah is tempting for that price. Have you tried it?
Also, I was wondering if there is a dramatic change in charging speed between a battery with a 1A output and a battery with a 2A output?

The yoobao 13000 is very cool. It has a nice gold metal enclosure with plastic sides. The single USB port has a 2.1 amp output. You will not notice a difference when charging an iPhone 4s. iPhones charge at 1 amp. The yoobao 13000 is an excellent buy. I have it. Still have to review it though. I think it is a great but and you should go for it. Yoobao has the lowest prices in battery packs I have ever seen.

Looks like I'm going to go for the yoobao! Does it have an indicator that tells you how much charge is left on the battery? I would like to see some of your reviews, so if you can share where I can that will be great. Thanks for your time.

Is the YOOBAO battery something too big to put in your pocket. As I'm looking at pictures with it aside other items, it seem larger than I thought. Sgouod I go with the EasyAcc for portability?

The yoobao 13000 or 5600? The 5600 is pocketable. The 13000 is not. The easyacc 6000 is larger than the yoobao 5600 so I don't think it will be pocketable. I would say, get the yoobao 5600. $10 is an unbeatable price compared to others.

Between the yoobao 5200 and EasyAcc 6000, do you see a dramatic change between the 800 mAh difference?

This seems great! The only hing is I have an iPhone 4s with the 30 pin connector. I'll keep searching for something like this. Thanks.

This seems good too, but I have an iPhone 4s with the 30 pin connector. Thanks though.
