My only problem with the Bolt so far is a bit obsessive. The Bolt has successfully charged my friend's iPhone 4S from its battery, charged my HTC One from the wall, charged an iPad from battery, and is currently charging itself from a wall socket.

If your phone is nearly or completely dead, however, the Bolt prioritizes your phone before itself. When you plug it in to charge your phone, the Bolt uses a bit of extra current to charge its own backup battery at the same time, so your backup is usually charged.

3000mAh is more than double the battery capacity of an iPhone 5 (1440mAh), and just under twice that of an iPhone 5S (1570mAh), so you can get roughly two full charges from the Bolt (with some transfer loss).
It is a very small (70mm x 34mm x 28mm, or 2.75" x 1.33" x 1.10"), simple rectangular box.What makes the Bolt stand out from separate backups and wall chargers? This is the pitch: I'm happy to report that it is a working replacement for a lot of charging clutter. Another option is the Bolt, a $60 product its makers tout as "the world's smallest battery backup & wall charger combined." I backed the Bolt's initial Kickstarter launch and received my Bolt yesterday (along with a "stretch goal" car charging plug). Packing a wall wart, battery backup, and cables for your and anyone else's phones and tablets is one option. None of this is particularly appealing to anyone who does not get a thrill out of fulfilling a Boy-Scout-like desire to plan for every possible phone/tablet contingency. As a backup, you can tote around a bulky portable battery. To plug them in elsewhere, you need to carry around the right kind of cable, and an AC adapter (or "wall wart"), which might not work with all devices (particularly newer iPads) because of amperage differences in charging current. Smartphones need power, often when you are away from computers or outlets or car chargers. One new product solves a few of them at once, which is a very nice thing.
