The short cable is just enough to have the battery sat behind your phone, meaning it is even possible to hold both the battery and the phone together while making a call without it feeling too clumsy.
Performance figures are one thing, but there really isn’t a huge amount to test on this device. From out of the box the PV100 was holding a 50% charge, more than enough to save the day should you pick one up at retail and be in need of instant power. After draining the battery via my smart phone, I left it to charge for a full cycle, which took just under 4 hours from my desktop PC standard USB 2.0 port.
With my battery on my mobile drained to 0%, to the point where the device would not power on at all, the PV100 immediately brought my phone back to life and had it charged to 100% in 40 minutes. It took around 10 minutes more to complete a full charge with the device powered on (standby mode).
In total I was able to get one full charge (0 to 100%) and one more 60% charge (0 to 60%) with the phone switched off. With the device powered on I was able to get one full charge (4% to 100%*) and a further charge to 52% (4% to 52%).
The PV100 was great at keeping my phone alive while using power-hungry applications, but of course these results would vary wildly dependant on the apps used. My phone dropped to 10% and I connected the battery, I was able to continue playing my game (Royale Revolt) on maximum brightness and the device still managed to reach a charge of over 90% before the PV100 ran out of power, the only downside being that my device was very warm from running the GPU and charging it at the same time.
