I love power banks. I have a lot, and I use them all the time when I need portable power when on the road, in the field, or off the grid.

But there's a problem with power banks, especially big power banks. They take ages to recharged. Forget to recharge your power bank, and you're carrying a dead lump with you all day.

This is why I've been on the lookout for is a power bank that recharges in a matter of minutes, but still has enough battery capacity to charge a phone once or twice.

I've found one -- the Real Graphene G-Lite 60W 5,000mAh[1].
