Bought the [Mophie Juice Pack Boost](http://www.mophie.com/mophie-Juice-Pack-Boost-p/2026_jpu-boost-2.htm) from [Apple (Singapore) Online Store](http://store.apple.com/sg/product/H6059ZM/A/mophie-juice-pack-boost-external-battery-for-iphone-and-ipod) for S$69.90. I can’t seem to find it in any Authorized Apple Reseller stores in Singapore. Instead they are still selling the older model, the one with 1,500mAh battery ([Amazon Link](http://www.amazon.com/mophie-juice-pack-boost-Retractable/dp/B003VYB2WW)) instead of this 2,000mAh one.

The Mophie Juice Pack Boost is bigger and much lighter than it looks. I was expecting it to be more compact in size and heavier, but surprising it is lighter than any of my [Eneloop Chargers](https://lesterchan.net/blog/featured/eneloop/) that I bring along in my bag whenever I am out (which is a good thing).

Another advantage of the Mophie Juice Pack Boost is the built-in Apple 30-pin dock connector‎ and hence you do not need to carry an extra [Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable](http://store.apple.com/sg/product/MA591G/B) along with your backup battery which normally allows you to charge via USB port.

As mentioned earlier, the battery in the Mophie Juice Pack Boost has a capacity of 2,000mAh and this allows you to fully charge any iPod/iPhone models even if the battery is totally empty in your device.

It does charge your iPad but at an extremely slow rate since it only output a maximum of 1A. The iPad requires at least 2.1A for a proper charge.

The Mophie Juice Pack Boost also acts like a dock which holds your iPhone upright while it charges (see the last picture embedded in the post).
