Hi. I have also bought that battery. I really like it. Especially because I can charge both my IPhone and my braille display without worrying about if there is enough juice on the batterypack.
I agree that it would have been nice if we could see the status of the batterypack, but I am happy that I choose this one. Best regards Annie.
