Review on TalentCell Rechargeable 6000MAh 12V DC Portable Li-Ion Battery Pack With AC/DC Charger For LED Strip, CCTV Camera - Black by Rene Carrell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great for my application!

I used this battery pack to power a 12 volt led up-lit display for some holiday crystal that we put in the middle of our dining table. I built a hollow walnut platform and installed the battery pack and the led pucks from below, so they invisibly light up the crystal from below. The led's came with a remote and controller, so it is easy to turn the display on and off. So far it has worked perfectly.I especially like the "Y" cable, which allows you to charge the battery pack and run the lights simultaneously. I extended the female connector to a 12V socket mounted through the side of the wooden display box, and it allows me to plug the charger into the system while running the lights, and keeps me from having to extract the battery pack from the display to charge it.So far, I am still testing the display to determine how many nights I can run the lights before they get dim enough to be noticeable. It seems to me things start to dim a little sooner than I would have expected, given the battery's mAh rating, but it certainly lasts for several nights in a row, and that is fine for my purposes.The only thing I would have liked to change for my use is to have the charger cord a little longer than the 39 inches supplied. If you are using the battery pack in a fixed location, as I am, you may need to buy an extension cable to allow you to reach the nearest wall outlet. Other than that small suggestion, I feel this battery pack is an excellent value. Only time will tell, however, how long the cells within the pack last. When it fails, I hope they are still available, as I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

Pros
  • Can be charged quickly and efficiently, ensuring you can get back to work as soon as possible
Cons
  • The battery pack's charging process is slow and inconvenient
