Does anyone know how quickly it recharges your phone, and whether it can recharge more than one phone before recharging it?

I don't know how fast it recharges, but considering the fact that you'll be recharging from a USB port rather than a wall socket, it will probably be slower than if you just plugged it into the wall.It seems like you might be confused about what the ChargeCard does. The ChargeCard is basically a USB charging cord, but it's only the size of a credit card. It does not hold a charge like a backup battery would.

It charges my phone about the same speed as my normal charger, and since you are connecting the USB portion to your computer or other outlet, you can charge as many devices right after each other.

It's not a battery; it's a charging cable. -- Plug one end of this gadget into a smart-phone, and then plug the other end into the USB port on a computer or on a wall-outlet adapter. And, then the phone can be completely charged. Yes, it's a simple "charging" cable. But, THINK: Today, wherever we go in life, we carry with us our smart-phones AND card-sized items: credit-cards, debit-cards, ID-cards, business-cards, and other important cards. So, this product is EXCELLENT because it's a "charging cable" that conveniently fits in with life's other cards.

It doesn't actually hold a charge its just a Replacement in for your USB to micro USB cord

This is only a usb cable. It doesn't charge without connecting it to a computer. The name is misleading

This is not a charger basically it is a flat cable that you can put in your wallet so you can charge your phone

This is not a recharger. It is simply a USB cord in a compact style to fit in your wallet. It will charge your phone when plugged into a USB outlet with the same speed a regular USB cord would. That being said it is a handy device to have as I have it tucked in my wallet and always have it with me in an emergency to charge my phone.

Yes it can charge 2 phones at the same time. With some cases you'll need an adapter.

Dont know have not tried as I have this for either emergency use or backcountry use and one cellphone is enough. I would say probably it would charge two phones since it will charge a phone and still give you hours light on one charge, but if you juice up two phones that will probably mean no light. Real world results will vary as will the phone you use. If you are depending on this for emergency or life critical issues and actually need to charge someone elses phone, then emergency protocols typicaly dictate that person should have their own and you should not be sharing. In other words stop being cheap and do the right thing. Dont know have not tried as I have this for either emergency use or backcountry use and one cellphone is enough.

Doris, I have a Droid Razor X, and it will fully charge it at least once and then about half again. Hope this helps. It's been helpful to have as a backup.

In my experience, the charged power bank can fully charge your phone once, from about 10% to 100%. You have to keep the power bank ready to go at all times.

Absolutely. In actual fact I'm using it to charge my Samsung S4 while im writing this reply. And on top of that it charges the phone from near dead to 100% in just over 2 hrs! If you ask me that's pretty fast. It comes with 2 USB cables and 4 different adapters for multiple devices. So you can use a computer or pop on a wall adapter to charge the anker battery. FYI it has 2 ports for charging. So the beauty is you can charge 2 devices at once. Only difference is one port is 1amp and the other is a 2amp. I stick with the 2 amp for quicker charge. Love it every time I use it.

I have an iPhone, so not sure. But with my iPhone, it charges VERY quickly - as quickly as a wall charger at least. Once the PowerPak itself is drained, it takes a long time to fully re-charge (overnight), but it seems to charge the phone as quickly as needed.

It is rechargeable and depending on device you will be to charge 2 devices before having to recharge the battery. As far as using the phone while charging you should be able to, should be no different than having it plugged into a regular charger.

I have not had one until the end of it's lifetime, but per charge you can get about 1-2 full charges depending on your phone.

It's a matter of personal preference. I use it mostly with my IPhone. I'm able to quickly recharge my phone battery without having to search for a plug. It's a quick charge; only takes about 15-20 minutes from a 40% battery level status. Also my recharge can occur while I'm on the move. The charging unit is good for multiple (4-5) charges without having to plug in for recharge. Only thing is the unit is a little bulky & heavy I'm still able to fit in my bag. Hope this helps you to decide.

At least two full charges on our Samsung Galaxy 3 smartphones. I then charged the power pack, so I cannot say whether it would have charged the smartphone fully a third time.

I can usually get about 3 charges out of it. I tend to use my phone (for twitter or whatever) at the same time it's trying to charge it, but I can usually do that 2-3 times before the Pebble is drained. I love my Pebble! Wouldn't travel without it, as my phone tends to drain quickly when I'm in roaming territory.

On my LG G2 with a 3000mAh battery, it will fully charge 1 and a half times. I forgot to fully plug in my phone one night and it was totally dead. I fully charged it, ran it for a full day (very bad reception in my building which drains the battery faster than normal use) and charged on the way home . On the second charge, the phone went from 40% to 95% before I unplugged it. The Anker was not fully discharged but only had one light left on it's indicator...if this helps at all.

I checked with my son he said it charges pretty fast. The best thing is that you can use it while it is charging and it makes the phone much more useable. He really likes it.

If you fully charge a smartphone, then completely drain said smartphone of power, then recharge the smartphone...that is charging the smartphone twice. Or, if you rather, charge two smartphones if you happen to have two. This unit, when fully charged, holds enough power in the internal battery to do that without having to recharge it. Once the internal battery of this unit is drained, you can recharge it and repeat the process as many times and as often as you wish. Does that answer your question?

Yes, this battery was recharged before I used it. It charged faster than the old battery (took about an 1 1/2 hrs. to reach 100%). Recharging it is not the problem. The life of the battery in the phone was short lived. All the juice was gone before the end of the day. Daily, it needed to be recharged. A better investment is the EC TECHNOLOGY High Quality 2 x1500mAh Li-ion Battery. It lasted for many days without recharging. Thank heaven, I found a solution to the problem..... Samsung batteries are a huge disappointment!

It takes very little time to charge, maybe an hour. I can definitely say not more than 2. I haven't timed it yet. I just know it's pretty quickly. It certainly charges faster than my old rechargeable batteries LOL
