This is cool but it's all in the words! (kinda misleading) This thing doesn't fully charge your iPhone in 5 minutes. But if you charge the Pronto battery for 5 minutes it has enough battery to charge an iPhone (get it?). So your iPhone doesn't charge in 5 minutes, the Pronto does.
@bramk Are you just referring to the PH description above? I don't think anyone would confuse this for an iPhone charging in 5 mins (if so, I have a great microwave to sell you). The Kickstarter site is not misleading at all. If my Mophie charged in 5 mins, I'd be on cloud 9. Can't wait for this to come. Also check out https://www.getbatterybox.com/bo...
Finally, someone has figured out how to fold the space/time continuum in regards to batteries. This solves a major problem! It's always kind of a race against time with various batteries and what not. Awesome. I'm in.
@bramk we tried really hard not to be misleading and I hope we are clear that the Pronto can store enough power in 5 minutes to recharge an iPhone. This is a killer battery that I can't wait to use myself.
@caleblight thanks for answering! Still awesome you can get a full charge on an external battery in 5 minutes :) How much time does it actually take to charge an iPhone to 100% from 1%-10% ?
@bramk Charge times will be as quickly as the device can allow. The Pronto comes with a smart charge chip that identifies the devices and provides max power. USB ports have a 2.4 A output.
