Used Venture 35 for first time on BP trip. I was disappointed in the performance. It claimed in manual that it would charge an iphone 3 times; I only got 2 charges and then it was just dead weight in my pack. First night, I plug it in and then unplugged it in the AM. The second night I ran some apps in offline mode(photos, kindle, podcast), and unplugged in the AM. Did I do something wrong? Was running the apps that drained the Venture 35? Do I need to unplug after the charge is finished? Any hints are appreciated.

    Hi @twoptoh,

    What iPhone model iPhone were you using?

    Running apps on the background can make your phone require more energy while it is charging. The Venture 35 can charge a smart phone an average of 3 times but it really depends on the actual phone. For example, the iPhone 14 plus pro has a larger battery than an iPhone 14. It also requires more power than its smaller counter part.
