Crave Plus PRO

This portable power pack is easily capable of charging three mobile devices...SIMULTANEOUSLY! It’s an essential tool for those who travel often, providing a reliable source of revitalizing energy to replenish depleted batteries in phones, tablets, watches, cameras, and more! It’s a little on the heavy side, but that’s expected given its 20,000mah power capacity. However, it’s still compact enough to throw into a back pack, messenger bag, suitcase, tool bag, or glove compartment. In an emergency situation, it becomes an invaluable investment, providing a dependable power source for up to five days. If you’re considering purchasing a portable power pack, this is a well made unit with an attractive aircraft aluminum casing. Not all portable power packs are created equal. Don’t buy one of those smaller, “trendy” models that can only provide enough power for one or two charges - this is the real deal! That being said, I definitely recommend this item. Buy it now! You won’t regret it. Unfortunately, portable power packs don’t typically come with a storage case. I’ve included a photo of this model inside of a Hermitshell universal hard case (purchased on Amazon) to demonstrate portability and storage. Hermitshell is my go-to manufacturer for specialty case fabrications - Amazon offers similar, comparable cases at competitive prices as well.

I invest more money on power banks because reliability is of utmost importance when traveling abroad. Mophie and Crave have consistently performed exceptionally well. The materials, construction, capacity, QC and usb type-c port make it my go-to choice for a pro-grade powerbank. I can charge the powerbank via the usb type-c port and use the same port to charge my iPhones which is convenient. Usb type-c ports are much sturdier and reliable than type-A ports. I purchased the Plus Pro 20,000 mAh for a photography trip to the UK (London, Bath, Eastbourne, Seaford, Seven Sisters) and it served it’s purpose of keeping my iPhones charged for three days at a time. I also purchased the 10,000 mAh powerbank and both still work as expected after 4 years.

Opening the box up you can quickly tell this is a quality piece of hardware. It looks solid, feels solid, heck, even the Type-C cable and USB to Type-C adapter feel heavy compared to typical ones. So, why only four stars? Well, this thing is chunky and heavy, but that isn't the issue. I have another brand's much smaller, lighter, and cheaper battery bank and you know what it came with - a carrying case. As thick and heavy as this thing is, plus the premium price, it should come with a case. Other than that, it charges my Valve Steam Deck almost as fast or as fast as the adapter that came with it - you can't beat that.

I have experience with several batteries for my cellphones and also for my Sony cameras but always wanted something that will give me the flexibity for me to work completely out of the office on my iPad and finally I found it. I have been using this portable battery bank for few weeks and I am impress with the build quality of the product. I am all the time in the GO working and now I am working out of my iPad Pro on location and this product is pushing my working time on the fuel well over what I was expecting. The battery charge quick and five hours of work using 3 devices with it. I am charging a wireless router to connect to a external drive, my IPad Pro 2.0 and my iPhone plus allwoeking for hours from this device. I will recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable and durable super power bank for all of their devices.

We purchased this product in April of 2002 for the primary purpose of charging a Dell XPS, while traveling, and secondarily to charge cell phones and tablets when traveling. Initially, the battery easily charged and provided good power and charging for the above devices. In the past month, there has been difficulty getting past one light for charging the battery pack and when used, it would not charge a cell phone or tablet and rapidly went to zero lights. Two weeks ago, it stopped being able to be charged completely despite using multiple charging methods including the USB C and USB A ports. We contacted Crave through their website and then received confirmation of our request for repair, return, or reimbursement. The questions asked by their customer service over 10 days never addressed how to solve the problem and the questions presented to us by email did not show any understanding of what we were trying to ask. We made multiple responses and sent multiple emails and in the past week, their responses have indicated that our emails had no content and also had a ?. In looking further at the internet, Crave, which is listed in Wasilla, AK, is presented as a permanently closed business. We use battery packs of different capacities in devices that we build and use for computer, phone, and tablet charging and have used Anker products without difficulty for many years. The cost of the Crave battery pack was $99 including tax. Based on our evaluation of the device and the company practices, if the company still exists, and also other reviews here, this is a problematic battery pack that does not warrant purchase.

I was looking to replace an aging battery pack. I travel overseas often and in many remote areas power (reliable, at least) can be hard to come by. The Crave Plus Pro was a new product to me, but I'm glad to have found it. The build quality is superb, having TWO QC3 ports AND a PD port is a traveler's dream come true. Even on airlines now, I don't bother looking for the AC outlet. I simply plug my devices into my Plus Pro and have more than enough power for trans-Atlantic flights. The LED charge indicator lights could be dimmer, but that's the only con I can think of! Overall, a really great product and a better value than many competitors products (many of which start with the letter 'A').
