Build Quality/Design
Looking at it; it looks similar to their larger full size charger with their non-slip grey ring and glossy white top. Playing with it in hand; I couldn't find anything loose and creeks when pulling/pushing on it. It's fairly light weight, but not so much where it feels like a toy. It has a good solid feel to it.
Like it's bigger older brother, it doesn't have any non slip rubber feet at the bottom. So it slides around fairly easily. It's quite compact and intended to be a travel buddy especialy with its attached cord that wraps around the body for storage. For those with a smaller work space/table/desk this is for you as its less than half the size of the full sized charger.
It does have a charging indicator LED thats red when its not charging and Green when it is.
Performance/Testing
I could write down the numbers but lets just say it charged my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 as fast as its full sized brother.
Another thing, if you have a battery pack, you can attach it'll charge your phone through qi just fine. I know I know, why not just connect the battery pack to the phone? Well some people don't like connecting the the micro usb to often as it cant be damaged and doing so would eliminate that risk.
Conclusion
This is a great little compact Qi charger that won't take that much space that works just as well as the bigger ful size chargers.
Overview
Quick summary - great little device with a handy LED torch, really solid and well balanced with two output slots to charge two devices. The hugh 10,000mah(37Wh) it enough to keep several devices topped up for quite some time. Despite its capacity its not too heavy (226g / 8oz).
Unboxing
So in the box is the battery pack, a very short black USB lead and the instructions. The battery pack has a really large capacity at 10k mah which is enough to charge a Galaxy S6 up a few times before itself requiring recharging. The battery pack is black plastic body with orange plastic trim on the top and bottom. There is two USB outputs with a combined max of 2A.
Despite the capacity of the internal battery the weight of this doesnt feel too bad, weighing in at 226g which is really isnt that heavy and the slim profile means that it will slot into a jeans pocket no problem.
On the front are 4 white LEDs which light up to show the capacity. In theory each dot should be enough to deliver 2,500mah of juice so in theory each light of power should easily charge any modern smartphone, just for reference the capacity of my Galaxy S6 is 2550mah. On one side is a plastic button you can press to view the charge or turn the pack on when you want to start charging a device. The button feels a little flimsy and isnt always easy to press but its not something that will be used loads. If you double tap this button it will turn on or off the LED torch function, however it feels like this wait time has been set just a bit too long. On the top is an LED for use as a torch and two USB output sockets, adding to this devices versatility - the ability to charge two devices at once. The max output in total across both ports is rated at 2A, the output from each port isnt listed and it isnt listed if one port supplies more power than the other. Testing out each port with Ampre the average output for my Galaxy S6 was 1000ma, it charged my S6 fairly quickly (about 1 hour 30) from nearly empty so the device delivers a amount of power from each port when charging a single device.
The little micro usb lead supplied is pretty short, and it would have been nice to have a bit more length to this however that being said I have loads of long USB leads and not any which are really short so this may actually be a blessing in disguise.
Overall I really like this pack, its nice, solid and premium feeling, works well and having two output ports is always a plus. I can see this being used by people away long long trips or away camping or hiking where there is no access to an outlet to keep your smart device topped up. I really like the slim design which means it can fit in a pocket nice and easily.

Lumsing doesn't specify the rating of each, but the device's maximum power output is 16W. That means with three devices connected charging will be pretty slow, with just 5W available from each.

This is probblly the best battery pack I have seen so far
The battery pack is gold metal with plastic on the top and bottom, the feel of the device is really premium and solid feeling like it could take a good knock should you drop it. Despite the capacity of the internal battery the weight of this doesnt feel too bad, weighing in at 260g which is heavy but doesnt feel like much more than some of the smaller battery packs ive reviewed. The battery pack feels very well balanced and isnt heavy down one end or the other.
On the front are 4 LEDs which light up blue to show the capacity. In theory each dot should be enough to deliver 3,350mah of juice so in theory each light of power should easily charge any modern smartphone. On one side is a button you can press to view the charge or turn the pack on when you want to start charging a device. On the top is an LED for which lights when charging the pack, a micro USB input and importantly two USB output sockets, adding to this devices versatility - the ability to charge two devices at once. The max output in total across both ports is rated at 3A, the output from each port isnt listed and it isnt listed if one port supplies more power than the other. Testing out each port with Ampre the average output for my Galaxy S6 was 1200ma, it charged my S6 fairly quickly (about 1 hour 20) from nearly empty so the device delivers a good wack of power. The little micro usb lead supplied is a fair length, long enough not to have my phone right on top of the battery pack. Also a nice plus is that the supplied cable also works as a data cable, something that doesnt always happen with battery packs.

Charge two devices at home or on-the-go with the Tattu 2in1 Power Bank AC Wall Charger.
When you combine a love of tech with an on-the-go lifestyle, power management becomes increasingly more complicated. Despite regular upgrades/updates, devices like our iPhones, iPads, Nintendo Switch must be charged frequently. With minimal use you may be able to get a day out of an iPhone, maybe a few days out of an iPad, but only a few hours out of the Nintendo Switch. One thing is certain; whomsoever improves our battery technology will be one of the richest people in the world. For now, we will need to continue to rely on wall chargers and portable batteries. Or, if you desire to space-saving convenience, you can use a hybrid device like that from Tattu.
Whenever I get a new item, I love to examine the box art, instructions, and product specifications. It would be naive to think that the packaging does not matter, but first impressions can make or break the sale. Unfortunately, the Tattu Power Bank/Wall Charger arrived in a rather plain 5 1/4 inches long by 4 inches wide by 1 3/4 inches thick cardboard box. I wanted to peruse the packaging and to learn about the device, but the shell was relatively devoid of information. Along the top left of the cover, you will find the “TATTU” title and along the bottom right an unrecognizable triple ink outline (thin, medium, and bold ink). This same trend was continued on the left/right panels, and the back panel only contained a few product labels and “Made in China.” The top panel was plain brown, except for two white stickers with a UPC sticker/model number and another with more product labels and product specifications. The stickers were the only piece of the packaging that was helpful. The main sticker detailed the AC charger/built-in battery, Model PST-17UPB-2, AC100-240V 50/60 Hz input, DC5V, 1A/2.4A output and a 5200mAh battery. Personally, the company needs to bring their packaging up to the quality of the device.
Inside of the box, you will find an attractive 2 7/8 inches wide by 3 1/4 inches tall by 1 1/8 inches thick glossy black charger, surrounded by white packaging foam. Aside from the hybrid charger and packaging foam, the box was devoid of accessory contents. Luckily, the product specifications were listed on the outer sticker and along the back panel of the charger, relegating the need for an instruction manual. Just above the product specifications, you will find a retractable Type A wall plug. The top of the charger flared out about 1/4 of an inch when compared to the bottom, to accommodate the foldable prongs. I liked the location of the Type A wall prong but felt that the product shape somewhat limited the use of the two USB ports along the top of the charger. When plugged into a lower wall outlet, the 1A output port was harder to access if something was plugged into the upper port on the wall. Since the 2.4A port was located further from the Type A wall plug, it was more easily accessible. I liked that the USB ports were oriented along the long axis of the charger, as this allowed the cords to angle outward. If the USB ports were oriented along the width (rotated 90 degrees) of the charger, they would have been essentially unusable. Perhaps it would have been better to place the USB ports on the face opposite of the Type A wall prong. When using the product with surge protectors or power strips, you may have to play power-cord Tetris if the prongs are oriented in parallel.
Along the front and back of the charger, you will find a silver/bronze raised sticker. I enjoyed the appearance of the sticker coloration upon the shiny black charger. The front listed Tattu along the bottom right and the back sticker listed “2in1 Design, 5200mAh, 3.4 A max for a phone (icon) and tablet (icon) and Fast Charging Detection.” Other than a small spacing typographical error “2in 1”, the well-placed stickers on the front, back and the hidden specifications beneath the charging prongs, greatly enhanced the feel of the product. To add a little artistic flair to the device, Tattu added six obliquely etched lines on the front/back of the charger. Pressing the power button, you can illuminate the small circular LEDs along the upper edge of the cover. There are four LEDs, which represent 25, 50, 75 and 100% available/remaining power.
My family and I like to do a lot of camping, both tent, and motorhome. When packing our to-go backs, weight is a prominent factor. Upon first impression, I thought that the 6.5-ounce hybrid device was rather hefty. However, when I compared the Tattu device to other batteries, I found that the weight was very comparable. For example, a similar 6000mAh battery from M-EDGE weighed in at 6.2 ounces. Interestingly, when I added the 2.2 ounces single USB Apple Wall Brick, the weight disparity became even more pronounced. The battery plus charger weighed more than the combo hybrid device from Tattu, making it even more pocketable. My only complaint about the power bank is that I typically want a battery to be at least 10,000 mAh. Assuming most batteries have an 80% efficiency, we can expect approximately 4160 mAh of useful charging capability. With the iPhone X battery capacity of 2675 mAh, the iPad Air 2 7340 mAh battery capacity, and the 8134 mAh iPad Pro 10.5″ capacity, we can assume roughly 1.5 charges for a phone and about 50% charge on a tablet. I typically like to have a battery that can charge my iPad Pro 10.5″ once.
To test the current, I used a DROK USB C Multimeter. When I plugged my iPad Pro 10.5′ into the 1A USB port (battery power), the device read 5.08V/0.95A. When I plugged it into the other port, the multimeter read 4.92V/2.34A. When I plugged my iPhone X into the charger, the multimeter read 5.01V/0.98A and 5.04V/1.35A respectively. For one of my tests, I plugged my iPhone X into the 2.4A port, pressed the power button and waited. Starting with 77% phone power at 10:17 PM, my phone was at 93% by 10:52, 95% by 11:02 PM and fully charged by 11:15 PM. Plugged into power, my iPhone charged at 5V/2A and generated roughly 1% per minute of power. When plugged into shore power, I was able to use the device as a power brick, charging my iPhone and iPad simultaneously. I was also able to use the 1A output for my Apple Watch charger and the 2.4A output for my iPhone X as well. I have used the device over the past one week as my main charger and appreciate the dual USB output. The weight to power output capabilities of the charger was very favorable and the ability to have a fully charged battery in 1.5 hours was even more exciting. Promising short-circuit protection, over voltage protection, over current protection, overcharge protection, over discharge protection, and pass through charging (charge the battery and your smart device simultaneously). Whether you need to top off your phone or keep it powered over a weekend, the Tattu device has you covered. With the two-in-one design, I will never again look at USB wall chargers the same way.
Pros:
1A and 2.4A charging
