TSST TB030NA Portable Charger Review

The first thing to mention is that the TB030NA comes in four colours – ‘Sky Blue,' ‘Lovely Pink,' ‘Fresh Mint,' and ‘Shiny Green.' We received a ‘Sky Blue' sample.

Other than the colour options, the TB030NA design differs quite drastically from that of other TSST chargers. Rather than a rectangular design, the TB030NA is a more conventional cylinder shape. Measuring Ø23x125mm, it is also fairly small, and could easily fit down the side of a pocket.

The TB030NA could be shorter in length, but TSST have included a very nifty flashlight attachment. It is just 2 or so centimeters and slots into the 1.5A USB charging port. Turning the charger on and activating the power will turn on the torch. This is no doubt aimed at campers and festival goers who need to recharge their smartphones, as well as use a flashlight at night.

Out of the box, this attachment is plugged in to the charging port. Unplugging it reveals the 1.5A port, as well as the microUSB port the TB030NA uses to charge itself. If you want to keep the flashlight attachment to hand while keeping the charging port free, there's another USB slot at the bottom of the TB030NA which will just hold what is attached.

At the top of the charger is the on/off button – one press will turn it on, and then a long press will activate the power. The current battery level of the TB030NA is displayed by four small led lights along the side.
