GadgeTell Review: Limefuel L130X Battery and Case

Until our mobile devices are able to deliver the kind of battery life to keep up with our consumption and demand, external battery packs will remain an important accessory in gadget arsenals. Right now, one can find batteries in practically every shape, color, and capacity across so so many brands.

Most people enjoy getting a good deal. When it comes to battery packs, it takes the right combination of technology, capacity, and physical size/shape within a price tier for it to deliver a great bang for your buck. Of course, anyone who simply needs additional energy on tap can get that with almost any battery pack out there.

But if you're one who won't settle for mediocrity, then Limefuel batteries are for you. Born through Kickstarter, Limefuel has driven forward momentum and success through smart features and overall excellence.

Battery Design

The Limefuel L130X has a design that's becoming a choice standard for external battery packs of its capacity. The flask-shaped device holds nicely in the hands when picked up. This version in white is smooth and possibly even a bit slippery. But if you're into color coordination with your (Apple) gear, white is the way to go.

"flashlight"

All of the ports are located on the one end along with the "flashlight" LED. The flashlight works ok in a pinch, but most mobile users will find that a flashlight app (or their smartphone screen) provide far more illumination than the Limefuel battery, which is akin to that of a basic keychain light. Smartphones are typically within quicker reach than an external battery as well.

Have a tablet (or two)? No problem. The Limefuel L130X battery provides 2.4A output per port, which is perfect for tablets and such. Sure, the overall 13000mAh capacity provides only a partial charge to most tablets, but even half a full charge is darn good. Limefuel batteries have pass-through charging, so you can charge other devices at the same time the battery is refilling itself, all from…

Sony Xperia Z2 launch allegedly delayed until late April, possibly May

Sony Xperia Z2 You know how we applauded Sony for having the guts to unveil the Xperia Z2 at the same event as Samsung's Galaxy S5, then slate its commercial launch around the "next big thing"? Well, if a fresh rumor cropping up on the Esato forum boards pans out, it may have been all for nothing.

And despite ominous forecasts, Samsung might…

Sony Xperia T2 Ultra possibly headed to T-Mobile, no ETA or pricing revealed

Sony Xperia T2 Ultra A new breed of large-screen smartphones is brewing, targeted at folks normally unable to afford high-end phablets, and one of its reps, Sony's Xperia T2 Ultra, is reportedly on its way to T-Mobile.

SnapRays Guidelight transforms sockets to smart LED lights

If you're ever up in the night staying up late with a movie, heeding the call of nature, or maybe for a midnight snack, you probably have some kind of illumination to help you out. It could be a small lamp, night light, or even the light above the stove. But if you're ready to save an outlet while still having light at night, grab your wallet while you check out the SnapRays Guidelight by Snap Power.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 price drops to $330 via Amazon and Walmart

GALAXY-Tab-3-10.1

Wondering where exactly in Samsung's slate formation might the forthcoming Galaxy Tab 4 line slot in? Why, between the Galaxy Tab Pros and last year's Tab 3s, of course. No way will it fit, you say? Think again, as the Tab 3 10.1 has just been discounted, probably to accommodate the induction of its successor right above it.

Monitor calories, physical activity with Healbe GoBe

When it comes to health and weight loss, setting goals and monitoring progress helps to realize results incrementally. It can be disappointing when one can't see or feel improvements, so it can take reading the numbers to actually show and prove it to the brain.

GoBe Weight loss, especially, is simply about burning more calories than ingesting. Keeping good records helps greatly, but not all of us have the patience to write everything down.

Each snack,…

Get mobile storage with the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo

Kingston DataTraveler microDuo

When it concerns mobile devices, space tends to come at a premium. With so many great and useful apps available, the gradual decline of free space is inevitable. It doesn't leave much left over for photos, music, or video. And with the recent murmurings of the Samsung Galaxy S5 to release with only half of its internal storage actually free for user content, storage space is even more important.
