Peri GoCharge Portable PowerBank Review
Keep Students Powered for Back to School
I know there’s always a lot of talk about how kids and adults are on their phones too much but I’ve learned they also have their benefits. In my daughter’s case we decided to let her have her first smartphone when she started school. She has challenges with being organized along with being able to write notes quickly and efficiently. For her typing on her phone to put in her homework assignments and reminders is a useful too for her as well she likes to listen to her music on her lunch break.
That’s why I was happy when we were given the the Peri GoCharge – Ultra Slim 3200mAh Portable Power Bank w/integrated Lightning Cable to review. Her teachers do have rules as to when the students can and not use their phones but many do allow it for note taking, taking pictures of notes and other things so it has become a useful tool for my daughter. However schools don’t always places where they can charge their phones. That’s one of the reasons we thought a Power Bank would be useful for her.
She likes the Peri GoCharge because it is slim and lightweight. She can’t even tell when it’s in her bag because it’s that light, it weighs only 3.5 oz (.8lbs) yet it can on fully charge a smartphone on average 1.5 times and it has an integrated cable. That means no extra cables to carry, love that as I know I misplace my cables or forget to grab one for my charger. The Peri GoCharge has an attached cable so you never lose it.
Our gold Peri GoCharge – see it only weighs 3.5 oz that is light!
The Peri GoCharge is a premium power bank featuring a 3200mAh battery and integrated Micro USB cable and you can get one for your iPhone (iPHone 6, 5s, 5c, 6, 6+ and iPod Touch 5th generation) or the one for Android and Windows phones.
As I mentioned they are so light and slender that you can easily fit a Peri GoCharge in a small clutch, bag or even some wallets like my slim wallet below.
Now that is a slim Power Bank charger making it the ultimate portable charging device. It’s want every student whether in high school or college is going to want. Heck everyone would want one, I know I like mine (mama got the gold one) and love it for when I’m out or travelling, especially for travelling as it barely adds any weight to my handbag.

Rebecca B says
September 16, 2015 at 8:52 PMThe integrated cord steps this power bank up a couple of notches in comparison to others. Trying to keep track of a cord along with everything else is a painl

Joshua says
September 9, 2015 at 11:49 PMI already know how important power banks are because I love the one I have but it is rather large, be that as it is I must say it is a must have. This one however is more compact which would enable me to always keep extra power and still have room in my pockets.

Jill Jacoby says
September 7, 2015 at 1:46 PMThe size and weight of this charger are so nice compared to many I have seen. They are great to have in a pinch and get the dreaded charge warning when it is the least convenient.
wen budro says
September 7, 2015 at 11:34 AMI love that this product is so slender and lightweight. I want this for my niece because she’s always running out of juice for her phone.

Dawn says
September 7, 2015 at 8:28 AMI love how slim and non bulky this is!
Laurie P says
September 7, 2015 at 8:01 AMThis would make such a fantastic gift for both of my younger siblings! Always needing a charge when they are out and about.
James Robert says
September 7, 2015 at 3:11 AMWith the many times I need to keep my phone charged and forget, I could carry this one with me to work. Having 5 kids, I need a phone in case of emergencies at home so need to keep something like this on me. I have another charger but way to big to take it along with me.
Karen Beckett says
September 7, 2015 at 1:56 AMGreat! I would like one for my daughter who is always using her tablet, phone or laptop. That way she could always be charged up!
Mary Hoffman says
September 6, 2015 at 11:56 PMI would get this for my son..who builds “Gaming Computers” he really needs to be “Charged-Up’ all of the time ni matter where he is so he doesn’t miss a repair or info call! this wouod be great for him to put in his wallet or pocket
Maren says
September 6, 2015 at 11:48 PMI have a similar charger but this looks lighter.
Sue E says
September 6, 2015 at 10:45 PMIt sounds like a must have for phone owners!! Especially for back to school season! They are reasonably priced, super lightweight, slim and powerful enough to take care of your smartphone charging needs! My granddaughter entered high school this year – would LOVE her to own one!!
Katrina Angele says
September 6, 2015 at 8:29 PMI love how light and compact it is! Perfect that it fits into a wallet!
Claudia says
September 6, 2015 at 8:14 PMThat sounds like the ideal charger to have, especially for someone like my mother who already has enough stuff in her purse. I love that it comes with its own built in usb cable. I for one have taken my usb cable charger with me to places and have forgotten it. With this, I do not have to worry about taking my charger with me in case I run low on battery.
Candie L says
September 6, 2015 at 7:20 PMI really like that it is lightweight and not bulky. It makes it easier to carry it around.
Rust says
September 6, 2015 at 6:29 PMPerfect for my daughter and her husband for when they are traveling and camping.
Linda Szymoniak says
September 6, 2015 at 6:29 PMOne of my daughters sells her art and books at anime conventions. I help her, too. We typically don’t have use of electrical outlets (they charge big money to add that for you), and since we both use our phones a lot, our batteries get drained. This would be great to have at these events!
Amanda Alvarado says
September 6, 2015 at 5:25 PMI love that this is so small and thin! I can carry it in my pocket with my phone while charging!
Darlene Sullins says
September 6, 2015 at 5:06 PMI love how cute and thin this is! It’s also nice that it doesn’t have a long cord that you’d have to hunt for!!!
Cathleen King says
September 6, 2015 at 4:17 PMLove this, so cool and thin.
Kendra S says
September 6, 2015 at 4:16 PMI like the way how it fits completely in the wallet. Very practical when that is an item you carry around daily and your Peri GoScope is right there ready to be used. This would be great for any parent with kids and everyone can still stay in contact with each other with worries.
Lori Williams says
September 6, 2015 at 3:30 PMGreat review!! I don’t have anyone heading back to school this year, BUT, this would be a great help for me!! I am forever needed to find an outlet to charge my cell and this would be such a blessing!! Thank you for the giveaway and for the review.
michelle k. says
September 6, 2015 at 2:56 PMI like that this is so slim that it fit in the wallet, wow!
heather e.g. kaufman says
September 6, 2015 at 2:05 PMI love how slim this is.
John says
September 6, 2015 at 1:11 PMThis is a very nice looking battery pack. The slim size is really appealing.
Cindy says
September 6, 2015 at 12:09 PMThis would be great for my hubby. Just using his navigation app on his phone drains his battery. His battery is low when he reaches his location.
robyn donnelly says
September 6, 2015 at 10:35 AMI would give to my daughter because she uses things like this a lot.
Colleen Maurina says
September 6, 2015 at 10:23 AMThis on the go charger would be so handy when you run out of battery and there is no place or time to find an outlet to recharge. I like that it is ultra slim and easy to carry in your purse!
The Frugal Exerciser says
September 6, 2015 at 7:48 AMI would love this for me because I use my phone for my business and I’m always on the go.
Sue S says
September 6, 2015 at 7:20 AMI love how light weight and compact this is.
Marsha C says
September 6, 2015 at 7:16 AMMy daughter uses her phone at school, too. She goes to school outside of our district, so I have to drive her and pick her up and it’s really nice to be able to text her if I’m running a few minutes late or if we can’t find each other in the parking lot. This charger would be awesome for her. It’s small enough for her to easily bring along.
Sandy Cain says
September 6, 2015 at 6:56 AMThis is a real necessity for my brother. He is somehwhat challenged, and never remembers to charge his phone. He goes out, and it it is all drained. If he coud remember to charge the Peri GoCharge, he’d be okay, and we wouldn’t have to worry so much!
Robin Abrams says
September 6, 2015 at 6:49 AMThis is great. It would help my son keep his phone charged where ever he is
@oodsme says
September 5, 2015 at 11:29 PMWould love to win Peri GoCharge for my daughter in college! Thank you for sharing this info with us!
Charlene says
September 5, 2015 at 9:53 PMI could really use this. Several times I’ve been on the phone for a long time and lost the call because my battery died.
Sophia,M.,McConnery says
September 5, 2015 at 9:22 PM28 year old daughter has a cell like this.Good gift idea.No money though 🙁
michelle oakley warner says
September 5, 2015 at 8:52 PMomg, i love that it is so thin and flat like that, fitting in the wallet is perfect size for me, this is awesome, i need four.
LeAnn H says
September 5, 2015 at 7:47 PMThis will come in handy for my son to use at college
Denise C says
September 5, 2015 at 7:25 PMThat is SO COOL that it could fit in my wallet! My husband has one of these devices but it’s so heavy, I would NEVER carry it around with me. This, I might!
