30W Power Bank Built-in USB C & iOS Cables, 10,000mAh Portable Charger, Fast Charging Battery Pack, Smart Digital Display, Compact PowerBank Compatible with iPhone 16/15/14/13 Series, iPad – Black

It’s great
I am a battery nut and now have transferred that love to rechargeable power banks.I have several but just can’t resist getting more.This one is about the size of a pack of cigarettes or a deck of playing cards, and weighs only a few ounces.It has a real solid feel when held in the hand, and is small enough to fit into a purse or backpack for travel charging.It has two cables, a lightening and a C so can handle all the iPhones from the 5 series up.The cables are permanently connected to the case and the lightening one fits snuggly into its own groove for storage.Why the C cable is looped and then run under the corner of the case I don’t know, but it too has a place for the connector to snap in so they aren’t dangling loose.It had a charge when it arrived so I decided to give it a try with my iPhone 14.The battery on the phone was at 35 percent and less than 2 minutes later was at 45 percent. It continued to rapidly charge my phone and in a little over 45 minutes the phone read 90 percent. It was at this point the charge slowed, which isn’t unusual.I removed the cable at 97 percent, as I needed the phone.After a call or two I picked up the battery and it was then I discovered the digital display on the side opposite the lightening slot.I can’t read it, but my roommate can and he reported when I pressed the button on the end of the bank, the display read 40 percent.I’m assuming this bank will charge my phone twice when starting at full capacity.On the one edge are two in ports, an A and a C.It does not come with its own charging cable but they aren’t hard to find, especially at my house.I used a C to C cable and a 20 wat plug, that I also got from amazon a while ago.The bank took almost twice the time to charge itself than it did charging my phone.My friend, a dedicated gadget guy kept checking it and reporting it’s slow recharge time.Two hours later he pulled the plug and handed everything to me saying the display said it was finally at 100 percent.Two hours still beats those overnight charges of a few years ago.The instructions, written in about four languages, aren’t bad but then again how complicated is a battery pack?It does warn against overcharging so I’ll have my roommate or Gadget guy periodically check it when it’s plugged in.My phone said low battery, which it does at 10 percent so I grabbed the power bank and left it on my desk. When my roommate brought me my ringing phone about an hour later, it was fully charged and the bank says it’s still at 59 percent, so my estimate of two charges is correct. I’ll use it a couple more times letting it empty further and then see how long it takes to fully charge from almost dead.I think it’s refill performance will improve with more use and a little settle in time.I’m thrilled with its fast charge time on my iPhone and this may become my carry charger for my purse.If you have an iPhone, or more than one, give this little guy a try. I think you’ll find it handy to have around.

Average and stylish
This power bank arrived at 75% charge. I topped it off to 100% then waited for my iPhone 15 pro to drop down to 3%. It took 2 hours to fully charge my IPhone and when it was done the power bank only had 33% charge left. (Photo proof)It got a little warm while charging but only at one end, and it seemed to handle the heat well.I’m not a tech wiz, but I think a 10,000mAh should have had way more than 33% left as I compare it to my other branded 5,000mAh battery bank I already own.So while performance is sub par in my opinion, this little device kinda makes up for it in convenience. I like that it has cables permanently attached for my iPhone and my kindle. I can put it in my daily carry bag and not need to think any further than that. It’s white so I can easily find it. It looks stylish too.It’s small yet chunky with rounded corners and fits really nicely in the palm of my hand. I can hold the phone and power bank together with ease.I picked this power bank because I loved the idea of a lanyard attached to it. That photo of a woman holding the power bank by her pinky is a genius marketing ploy that just shouts lightweight and convenient, not easy to loose. It wasn’t until I had the product in my hand that I realized that there is no lanyard. It’s just a charge cable that could function as a lanyard. So let me offer this advice just in case your mother never told you,. ‘Never carry an appliance by its cord!” That would be the equivalent of using a steel spatula on a teflon pan. Just don’t do it.I’m torn about the star rating because I fell victim to an excellent marketing ploy, yet I can’t deny how nice and convenient this average power bank is for what it’s worth.The attached charge cords are recessed in a way that will help keep them safe from damage and dust. I like that.I do recommend this item as long as it’s not the only power bank you own.I wish it had come with a carry bag or soft nylon woven pouch. It does not.
