I brought this as igo camping a lot and is always a problem running out of batteries on phones and tablets. This holds a lot of charge so can charge more than one phone fully it holds power well and don't take long to charge up your items. I would definitely recommend this for traveling I have used this many of times to charge phones, tablets and I have charged speakers though this to works fine and my partner has used it to charge his play station headphones to great product. You can charge your phone by sitting it on top or there is connection wires to just plug in the batterie its selfisslim so easy to store when traveling.
