Review: Mipow power tube 3000 + 4000

Saw so tube makes nice 2200, 3000 and 4000 are even more beautiful. As a cylinder, both end pipes are extruded rounded rectangles, expand the name of "Tube" to something. You have the same footprint, although 4000 more than one half inch approximately 3.75 "-3000, differences in the sizes of batteries in."

Devices equipped as separate cables for the collection of dock connector power tube has a pretty awesome Cap mechanism. On the outside is a USB port for a cable connect and charge, to any kind of device; both contained a micro-USB cable and a USB Extender. The entire top surface is a combination makes/battery-indicator button, with embedded LEDs show the remaining capacity. Pop the cap off - it is connected via a nylon thread handles cable - shows two connectors: a USB, the dock connector. The USB port is for the charging of the battery within the power tube, while the dock connector on each supported iPhone, iPod, or IOS can be connected. This battery only at 1 A or half-speed for the Tablet is for users of Apple tablets. This is good for full-speed-iPhone and iPod to charge.

A major disappointment as the speed is the actual upload. On paper 3000mAh and 4000mh are pretty batteries violent, so we expected good results. One of the best battery cases we've tested in recent months, Ibattz ' Mojo removable battery case packs one 1500mAh battery, the impressive 85% charge, delivered, supplied during the very popular Mophie juice Pack air with the same size battery 70%. Also extrapolating from the lower-performance model, we expected to be somewhere in the 130-150% between 3000 and 180-200% from the larger model to get. Mipow claimed specifically 1.5 x and 2 X the performance of batteries. Our audit suggested that this was somewhat optimistic.

We tested an iPhone-4S and an iPhone 4, any audio playing, both turned on, off with their screens, and also 3 g was connected with Wi-Fi - the 4S. Performance of tube-3000 while came a fee of 115%, 4000 to a slightly higher 139%. Both of these figures, what we expected, and the larger battery was especially disappointing.

We like the industrial design of both versions of this generation of power-tube. The fully integrated, clean-looking solution is this time clearly well conceived and praiseworthy. Our problem is only with the performance of the battery. While both models offer more than a full charge, they are claims of the company, and which competitors would be options. This having been said, both versions are general recommendations based on their beautiful designs and the ability more than fully charge an iPhone - the 3000 should it do for most users, but if you can find the 4000 on discount, is the modest fee offers a consideration.
