USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables are included for charging the GoPower itself. A four-LED status indicator lets users know the power level of the battery pack based on 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent, and 100 percent intervals.
Kanex has also included a built-in circuit protection board with priority charging detection technology that enables pass-through charging to plugged in devices when the battery pack itself is plugged into a power source.

(View all)Whoa that's even more expensive than Apple's adapter!
?This is a battery pack... Why are you comparing its price to an adapter?
I think it could be improved with a built in USB hub that could be used while it's plugged in - or not if you're in a tight spot.
check this out... not quite the battery size, but cheaper, probably better quality, and has USB ports: https://jet.com/product/detail/bb6f60341dcc4bd796db07446c5f98bfhttp://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-High-Capacity-External-VoltageBoost/dp/B014ZO46LK/
beyond that, why would you want a USB-C connection if the charging cable for a MacBook is USB->USB-C? they make even higher capacity battery that can charge a MacBook 3x.
Bummer. I'll get it for the iPhones and iPad then.
there are cheaper options to charge your iOS devices on the go.../s
