Hold down the power button to turn on and off, and tap on it to get the battery readout. The battery is well built and easy to operate. I've had 3 or 4 other external batteries of various brands but am enjoying my Lizone so far: I work remotely a lot often in places without power, so I did a ton of research before buying this battery.
If I have any issues going forward I'll return here to update this review. But once that’s done, then you just need the battery and one cable (to the Macbook/PC).
If I had one criticism it would be the fact that you have to take a total of 3 cables plus the charging “brick” if you want to re-charge the battery somewhere. I didn’t want the larger size Lizone battery due to weight considerations. This battery should work well while I’m traveling or camping in areas that do not have AC power, greatly extending the run time of my MacBook Air. I'm 100% satisfied with performance so far. There are still 2 or 3 LEDs of power left on the Lizone after the first recharge of the MBA (up to about 90%), and I am able to charge the MBA 11-inch to 90% a second time, when the Lizone is exhausted and turns itself off. But I think this may be at the expense of reducing the second “recharge” of the MBA from the Lizone, so I stop at about 90%. To get to 100% takes another 15 minutes or so. I have repeated this test a few times and get similar results each time. This took approximately 60 minutes.Īfter 15 minutes, I opened the lid briefly: the MBA was at 34%. I closed the lid of the MBA (so it was not discharging the battery any further), plugged in the Lizone battery, turned that on, confirmed it was charging the MBA, and then checked every 15 minutes until the Macbook Air was at 90-100%. (It has a good battery with about 200 cycles on it). Testing the capacity, I let my MacBook Air (11-inch) run down to 10%. (Update: I’ve charged/discharged the Lizone several times now, and get the following results.) The Macbook Air immediately indicated it was getting a charge.
I turned on the battery pack (push/hold the power button for 3 seconds, shows 5 blue LEDs when it has a full charge these change to 1 blinking LED when connected to the device you are charging). I gave the battery its initial full charge, then connected it with the cable/Magsafe2 adapter described above to my Macbook Air. I could tell the package had been opened, typical with Warehouse Deals items, but everything was in good shape with all cords and the charging brick (they call it the “AC adapter”) included as listed in the manual. which seemed a good deal compared to new at $149.
I was able to acquire the Lizone battery from Amazon Warehouse deals for $115. Instead of buying Lizone's suggested $37.00 Magsafe2 cable, I used their "original" Magsafe cable (included with this battery) by adding a Magsafe2 adapter MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter for $9.99. I have a Macbook Air, 11-inch, mid-2013 model which requires the Magsafe2 connector/charging cable. This review is for the 26000mah Lizone Extra Pro in black, purchased in mid-February 2016. (I’ve updated this review to add accurate charging times as listed below.)
