If you’re tired of running out of battery power, this Poweradd Pilot 2GS is the perfect solution.

With today’s power hungry devices, it’s always a good idea to have backup power in case you need it. Have you ever been on your phone on the way home from your train commute or camping with friends and run out of juice? Yeah, it sucks. Well, if you plan ahead and pick up a good power bank, those bad feelings will be history.

Power banks are a battery backup that will charge your USB-equipped devices. And depending on the size of the power bank, it can charge your devices many times. We got a chance to test out the new Pilot 2GS by POWERADE and I got to say it’s quite impressive. And for the price, you get a lot of juice for your buck.

The Pilot 2GS has a 10000mAh Lithium Polymer battery that can charge an iPhone between 4-5 times. This is pretty useful for such a slim and small device. The Pilot 2GS is right around the same size of an iPhone 6 Plus, allowing it to easily fit in your jacket pocket.

The Pilot 2GS sits in an aluminum casing that’s smooth and well built. It’s also easy to use. It rocks a single power button and 4 small light indictors to give you an idea of how much battery power is left. Or when it’s fully charged. The device comes with 2 USB ports and one micro USB port. This is great for charging multiple devices or sharing with a friend that is in need of power. The Pilot 2GS charges in about 5 hours with a 2A charger. That’s not bad considering the size of the battery. But if you only have a 1A charger you might want to leave it over night.

The Pilot 2GS is solid power bank. It can get you out of a jam if you don’t have anywhere to charge. For those long overnight trips, the Pilot 2GS power bank holds its charge very well. It sells for $15.99 and comes with a 2-year warranty.
