    This Battery Charger Turbocharges Reliably

    I bought this RavPower external: http://bit.ly/2wVgbXo I was pleased to see that it is immediately seen as turbo charging when connected; this doesn't seem to be common. I paid around $40. It appears to charge as quickly as the oem adapter plugged into the wall. Hope helpful. David

    The Turbo is a great device, mostly. However, a downside is that no capability seems to exist to make the camera flashes flash momentarily for an incoming call or text.
