Lepow Moonstone (6000 mAh) review

Overall, other than you’ll be carrying a cable to charge, it’s an amazing product. They even have a sleek little case that is still small enough to pocket that can handle that cable management for you.

One random thing – there’s also a scratch-to-verify code that comes on the wrapper to verify that you’re actually getting a Lepow Moonstone and not some knockoff. However, if it’s some knockoff, chances are they won’t have that code, or will direct you to their own website. Seems a bit of a wasted effort here.

Overall, Lepow’s batteries are both intriguing entries with small issues. Moonstone is certainly the more appealing of the two from our standpoint, as its impressive output performance and reasonable MSRP are enhanced by even more aggressive $40 street pricing, offset only by its slow self-recharging speed. It’s worthy of our B+ rating and strong general recommendation. U-Stone by comparison is a bit too big and expensive, but it performs pretty well. Consequently, if you really like the unusual industrial design, it’s worth considering nonetheless. It merits our flat B rating and general recommendation.

If you pick it up for around the $30 mark, the Moonstone 6000 is a pretty good value for what it offers. It's a little more durable than the average battery pack (excluding those specifically designed to take abuse), but that's about all it brings to the table to separate it from the masses of other similar products out there. Then again, it does everything you need an external battery pack to do, and comes with an interesting assortment of little extras. So you definitely can't go wrong with it if you're in the market for a battery pack for small devices and don't need any super fancy features.
