Use Multimeter To Check Micro Usb Charge Port

Brighter than the F12 and very useful. Downside is the charge port is old style micro-USB and not USB-C

This is a warranty exchange from its predecessor with the micro USB charge port and it's definitely brighter and charges faster. The only downside I noticed was the switch. It is recessed and can be problematic to turn on and off. Also it gets hot while on high, don't know if it's normal but will be checking into this. Otherwise it's good.

Full Disclosure: Coast provided me this ZX600 battery in order for me to test it out. But, everything I will talk about in this review is my own opinion. Coast Portland was not given copy approval nor any editorial input in this review. That means, they're reading this review for the first time along side you. These are the topics I will cover. Skip to whatever corresponding number in order to read about that specific topic and find what you are looking for. 1) Overview 2) What I Dislike 3) Charging Port/Charging Indicator 5) Charge Time/Battery Satistics 6) Thoughts The Individual Topics Begin Here: 1) Overview: • The ZX600 battery is desighned to fit in place of 3 AA batteries • It is a lithium-polymer battery • It has a hard casing and can be inserted only one way with large marking denoting positive (+) and negative (-) 2) What I Dislike: • I dislike the use of a Micro-USB port to charge the battery instead of a newer USB-C port • Recharge time is ridiculously long 3) Charging Port/Charging Indicator • There is a Micro-USB port on the front of the battery • There is a charging indicator to the left of the Micro-USB port • A solid red light indicates charging and a solid green light indicates the battery is fully charged 4) Charge Time/Battery Satistics: • The battery was tested from completely dead Rated Capacity: 2100 mah Tested Capacity: 2241 mah Charge Speed: 450 mah Time: 5 hours 34 minutes 5) Thoughts: I really like the concept of this battery. I love how it is designed to just fit in place of where AA batteries normally go while still allowing the use of AA batteries if necessary without any fuss. I do wish they would make a generation 2 of this battery adding much needed improvements. Overall, it is a genius solution.

Rapid charge at its best, go out and get yourselves one. usb c port is the new in.

Replced my older hp3r with the micro usb port under warranty

The battery charger now has a USB port so you can charge you phone when you’re charging the battery !!!!!

Works great, love being able to charge the batteries from it's USB-C port.

Allows me to charge my smart phone wherever i can find a USB port.

I use it to connect a flashdrive to the micro-usb charging port on a Toshiba Encore tablet.

I like the ability to not only charge two batteries but to be able to charge devices through the USB port at the same time
