OLALA's 13000mAh portable iPhone charger packs a lot of juice for just $28

On my recent trip to San Francisco, I realized that I had forgotten to bring my iPhone wall charger. It wasn’t the end of the world because I had a selection of other phones with me, but I had some key info — like boarding passes etc. — on my iPhone, and I needed to charge it.

Grabbing a new charger would only take $20 and a trip to the local convenience store, but I realized that I had a portable charger in my backpack — one with a Lightning port and plenty of juice to power up my phone. I ended up going a full four days using nothing but the Olala 13000mAh portable battery charger for my energy needs…

And, overall, it was a good experience. The charger does exactly what you would need it to, it has a full 13,000 mAh of capacity to recharge your iPhone several times from 0-100% at 2.4A, and — as I mentioned — it comes with a Lightning cable built-in so that you don’t have to carry around extra cables.

The charger currently goes for $36 shipped, but with code NA3L8G8G the price comes down to $28 shipped.

The little power bank is charged by microUSB (which is great for me, as I have dozens of Android phones that still use the standard so I always have a microUSB handy anyway), and can output via standard USB so that you can plug in other kinds of devices or another iPhone. You can even charge both devices at once, although that will obviously deplete the charger much faster.

Here are some more details via the Amazon listing (41 Amazon customers give the charger an average of 4.5 stars):
