Conclusion
Despite MANA’s long charge times, lack of battery status indicators, and my Windows Phone HTC 8X spazzing out on MANA 5200mAh, each MANA portable li-ion battery pack is solid product. They charged my devices quickly enough for my needs, are lightweight, and affordable, coming in about 25% cheaper than the competition. You can find the 2200mAh MANA for around $19.95 online and the 5200mAh MANA for around $29.95. Overall ThinkComputers awards the Pivos MANA 5200mAh & 2200mAh Portable Battery Packs an 8 out of 10 score.
Pros:
– Quickly charges devices
– Lightweight
– Affordable
Cons:
– MANA 5200mAh wouldn’t admit when it ran out of juice when charging 2 devices
– No status lights to show remaining charge
