The PowerCard is meant to offer users a quick boost of emergency power in an ultra-thin ultra portable package! Measuring just 3.438"L x 2.125"W x 0.25"H the PowerCard is about the size of a credit card, or as you can see from our photo below the size of a pack of Dentyne Ice gum and weighs about the same at only 1.6 oz. The Monster PowerCard we are checking out today is just one of their newest offerings. While the fact that Monster has power packs may come to a surprise to many, the fact is they actually have had several options available and on the market for some time now.

However, they do offer a rather extensive line of additional accessories including, memory cards, screen cleaning supplies, portable Bluetooth speakers and yes portable batteries. In fact most people out there usually think of Monster as a cable supplier, thinking only of their expansive line of audio-related accessories such as premium audio cables and headphones. When most geeks think of Monster power and power packs are likely the last thing on our minds. Honestly, there is no one good answer, and if I were to tell you otherwise I'd be lying! However, today we are going to offer one solution that we've recently had the chance to checkout and that is the Monster Mobile PowerCard Portable Battery v2. It's too late to put it on your gift list, but grab one for yourself.Every geek out there has faced the issue of needing a little extra power while on the go, but with all the power pack options out there it is often hard to decide which option best suites your needs. The Monster PowerCard Turbo is a well-built power solution at a reasonable price with solid performance. On the other hand, the way the charger works is pretty self-evident. My eyesight is pretty good, but I needed an illuminated magnifier to read them. The only negative is the printed instructions are really, really small. Charging from a desktop or laptop USB outlet will take longer, maybe 3 to 3.5 hours. The device itself took about two hours to charge from a powered USB hub. I used the charger a few times just before Xmas and found it a fast charge for my iPhone 6.

There is one button on the charger, and that's to check the remaining power. The 1.5 amp output should be about 50% faster than most chargers. Plug in your device and it will quickly charge. The PowerCard Turbo couldn't be easier to use. Apple users will have to use their own Lightning or 30-pin Dock connector cable. There is a standard USB port, and it comes with a cable with USB on one end and a mini-USB on the other. Available in 3 colors (gold, silver and black), It has attractive blue LEDs to tell you it's charging or, when it is away from power, how long the battery will last. Size: 4.4 x 7.9 x 1.2 inches (similar to a stack of business cards).The PowerCard Turbo (US$49.99) is a very small and thin charger that is easy to travel with or put in a pocket or purse. Monster has come up with a really high quality external battery to keep your iPhone running when you are away from an AC outlet. With all the traveling many of us do over the holidays, we're often in search of power for our iDevices.
