For example, many cars have a USB plug these days, but with this, you could charge two devices in the car, and the battery pack at the same time from that single plug. This can be handy as a kind of USB splitter, allowing you to charge two devices from just a single USB plug. This is definitely the packs weakest design point, but thankfully it’s in the second feature and most people will be buying this for the battery pack, not the flashlight which feels a bit like an added gimmick.Īnother thing of note is that both the included USB ports provide pass-through charging, so you can charge two devices from it whilst it’s charging itself from a single USB plug. Neat feature! On top of that, there’s also a built-in 65 lumen LED flashlight in the front of the pack. This seems like it might be good in an emergency, but it’s no substitute for a good headlamp or a dedicated LED flashlight or lantern. The on/off button for the light is hard to find in the dark because it’s flush with the case, and provides almost zero tactile feedback when you push it. This also makes it fiddly to cycle through the 5 flashlight modes, which requires pushing both the buttons and holding one of them down, even though there’s no feedback to the process. In terms of functions, the Venture 30 has a “smart charging” mode which will analyze the device that’s plugged into the port, and deliver power in just the right way for the fastest charge. It then memorizes those settings for that port, so if you continue to plug the same device into the same port, you’ll always get the fastest charge without having to activate the smart charge setup again. I’ve got no problems throwing this thing in a suitcase or the bottom of a camera bag, I’m confident that it’s going to stand up to a pretty good beating! It also has a rubberized design which definitely feels rugged enough to get accidentally dropped a few times. IPX6 – Heavy splashing and rain – This test sends water at all angles through a 12.5mm nozzle at a rate of 100 litres/min at a pressure of 100kN/m2 for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 meters.
The Venture 30 is IPX6 rated which means that it’s not waterproof, but you can still get it pretty wet.
