The Monoprice Select Series (http://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=14202) battery performs well, has solid build quality, and comes from a company that handles warranty and other issues well. But it falls short among its peers. The <a href="/cms/article/http:/www.macworld.com/article/3034573/talentcell-10400mah-38wh-portable-charger-review-usb-c-battery-pack-is-a-good-value.html">Talentcell[/url] is a better bargain and weighs 10 percent less though it charges and discharges more slowly. And if you need more capacity, the Anker (http://www.macworld.com/article/3034575/anker-powercore-20100-review-a-top-performing-usb-c-battery-pack.html) has double the available energy for about 70 percent higher price, weight, and length.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3034311/hardware/monoprice-select-series-portable-cell-phone-charger-review-usb-c-battery-pack-falls-short.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
