A single charge from the portable charger will provide 20 hours of standby time or 2 hours of talk time for your cell phone. All this without the need for a wall outlet either.
That’s not to bad. In fact, the icing on the cake is this charger doesn’t just look like a pen, it actually works as one as well.
