Best Back Up Battery Pack on The Market!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received my new Venture 35 battery pack about 30 days ago and I have really put it through the riggers. I am currently using it to recharge the Pool Speaker as there is not a plug near the speaker location (keeping it away from the water). The Venture 35 has been able to charge up the speaker very easily and has power left to recharge my iPhone 14. The water resistant feature is very nice and allows this to be a very rugged battery charger.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased the nomad 10+venture 35 . Seemed to charge up ok. stored it for 3 weeks and checked it. Nothing in it. Charged it again, had 4 lights lit, wouldn't even light the flashlight. Put it back on charger and it won't charge
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great little unit

I bought this to work with my Venture 30. It's a great little power bank, but it needs one major improvement--the port plug. It is advertised as being IP67, and it is, as long as the port plug is closed. That's great if you just want this power bank to sit out in the rain. If you want to connect an USB cable to charge the unit, or use it to charge your phone or action camera, it's not IP67. The port plug needs a pass-through port to allow the end of the USB cable to be a watertight seal. One reviewer said he removed the port plug; I may do the same because it's in the way when using the unit. When the Venture 35 was in the development stage, the Product Engineer Team should have noticed this and addressed the issue. I can't believe it would have added that much more to the cost of the unit. The other downside is, there is no place to store the cable like there was on the Venture 30.
I purchased the Venture 35 to replace my Venture 30 that(along with the Nomad 7 solar panel) has served me well on trips to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2016, and Everest Base Camp in 2018. I’m sure the Venture 35 will do the same.
#30 is still ticking and use as my backup for road cycling for the app, Ride with GPS. This new #35 is a great addition fir my gravel/rail-trail cycling. So delighted to have these rugged external batter packs. Thx
Been using this power bank for about a month and it’s great so far. It has charged my iPhone 14 from 10% to 100% 3 times with power to spare. Although it’s impossible to tell exactly how much remains with the 4 light indicators. It charges pretty quickly with a small off brand solar panel. The waterproofing flap that covers the plugs feels like good quality that’ll actually do the job and won’t break/tear easily. Love the integrated backup flashlight ICOE.
