Good question.  How much would you trust the fake powerbank and the components that are used inside.  Google search for the brand and check whether there is any case of the batteries leaking and cause damage.
Just ask:  Is the electronic design good with protection against overcharging the phone?  If its cheap, it means that the manufacturer who still need to make money, will make sure their costs of making the battery are even cheaper to show a profit.  So to make money, the manufacturer will need to use cheap or the cheapest materials which are not tested.  Would you trust your RM2000++ phone with a cheap battery source with sub standard materials?  remember,  R&D costs a lot of money to ensure design, form and function works perfectly with the right kind of materials.
Just an analogy,  let's say you bought a RM500,000 car.  And the battery needs to be changed due to wear and tear.  Not exactly the same situation.... but anyway... let's see.

Would you put in a cheap battery to power the car's expensive electronics such as onboard computer, dashboard with retina display, radio hifi system,  onboard GPS system, anti roll system based on gravitational forces, anti theft alert and location system (find my car back)  alarm and security system using finger print to unlock car door and start engine, voice controlled air cond lower temp, increase fan blower speed, wind down windows just by talking to it  ....  etc, etc, etc.    ehhh... it sounds like an iphone to me smile.gif
Or would you stick to the recommended battery by the manufacturer, which costs just RM100 more.  Save the RM100 and put in a fake battery and the car may not work well or last as long ...  your choice...

Fake powerbank (manufacturers) will cut down the cost, don't think they will spend cost on safety protection and quality.
End up would be like this

A lot of people always there to look for bargain.. n they easily become the prey of the ever hungry predator... n when things happen, they blamed seller instead of themselves...
let's face it.. as the Wise man always said .. Good thing no cheap, cheap thing no good..

if i spend 50K to do R&D and sell the item for 5? then how many i need to sell to earn back the $$ ? Might as well dont sell at all...

We look at a scenario.

This is an email we received from a manufacturer in China

QUOTE
Dear Friend

Good day ! This is Mandy From China.

We are the factory of power bank that do OEM with CE,RoHS certificates like below:

2200mAh-- $2.45/pcs,  4400mAh-- $4.5/pcs,  8000mAh-- $6.9/pcs.

Great quality,competitive price and good service is our purpose!

Are you interested in it ?

Best regards


So for a 8000mAh we can get at $6.90/pcs which is around RM23. Add in relevant charges such as postage and tax, maybe around RM30 if you choose the cheapest shipping options. We sell it to local distributor at RM35/pcs (earn RM5 per pc), then sell to reseller at RM40 (again, earn RM5 per pc). Do you think reseller will only earn RM5? Probably they sell around RM80 - RM100 depending on location.

Question 1: At a price of $6.90 (RM23), what type of quality do you expect? If you are unlucky that it explode, you can't really blame anyone cos you choose to buy that

Question 2: Ok, you said you bought not at RM23 but at RM100, so u expect a better quality. Well, the fact is, the production price is still less than RM23 ($6.90), it doesnt matter u pay RM23 or RM100 or RM1000, the fact is, the cost of production never change.. it still the same.

Question 3 (Most common one) Branded one like Yoobao, Mipow, Anker, Energizer, Sanyo, Samsung, etc, the price can still be the same but they choose to mark up the selling price only. What makes we think the quality is better? Well, this is the most common question customer will ask us. And we always share with them, BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Benz all are car makers, why are the price more expensive than a Proton Saga? Simple right? The fact is they invest in a lot of R&D to make the car safer and better and most important, quality is consistent. Same goes with power bank, some brands are spending money on R&D and they need to consider the cost of the R&D before they set the selling price of the final products. OEM only buy one unit, dissemble it, look at how it is made, and copy and paste.. quality wise... erm.... hmm.gif

Round up
There are few types of sellers in the market

1. Quality oriented - knowing the fact that an original item does not make as good % of margin compare to the OEM, FAKE, IMITATIONS, they still choose to sell ORI item cos all they want is a non compromised product in terms of safety and efficacy to their customers

2. profit Oriented - Always source for the cheapest available products and sell at mouth watering profit margin.

3. Opportunist - See other seller have good sale on the product, quickly go and sell too... (riding on other's success and efforts)

4. Heartless & Despicable - Selling OEM as Original item. Tell customers they get from overseas and selling cheaper than RSP as their cost is low.. Worse, these people sometimes go around tell ppl, "its not we are selling cheap, it's them who are selling expensive. They want to earn your hard earn money only"

Buying at RSP doesnt means your item is 100% authentic. ALWAYS Buy from Authorised Reseller. Thats your best bet.

yeah.. buy online... send to your desired doorstep.. but of course.. only buy from authorised reseller, reputable seller, and licensed seller.. you never know who to look for if you buy from part time seller, hit and run seller, freelance seller. Not all are bad, but you never know u will meet one.

we heard many stories from our customers, bought online, give good comment to seller, but when something happen to the product that they need warranty claim.. nightmare begins..

Ya. Jumbox under MCM unless u buy from Hong Kong. As for sony power bank, really pricey lor.. And low capacity too..

I've teach titan 8400mah, the problem is when i charge my blackberry overnight i only left with 20% of the capacity. At 1st i thought its the battery issue. But now i realized that power bank that dont have auto cut off will continue charging even your phone is at 100%.

Can anyone correct me if im wrong?
*
have you try checking it with the seller? if really no auto cut off, it's quite dangerous to leave it over night cos may overcharged and create extra heat that can be dangerous.

some can, some cannot.  It depends on the powerbank design whether there is a smart output or not.

For my Anker 2nd gen powerbank,  when I plug into the phone, it will charge the phone untill full and then the light will go off automatically without me unplugging it.  So this is auto cut off and will save the phone battery from being overcharged and reduce the useful life ...

yes.. anker is a good brand indeed..

buy power bank from china means no warranty... might as well buy from authorised reseller here and get 1 year warranty?

5000mAh priced around RM70-80 in Lazada site.

Its a trusted brand though, maybe i'll grab one.

Good brand... But be careful of imitation stocks.. Actual price is more than rm100. If they sell rm70-rm80, better check the authenticity. If ori, then it's a good buy

my all time favourite brand... MiPow .. every year also get award for its design and quality.

guys.. just wanted to ask u guys..

most of u are using high capacity power bank, dont u feel its too bulky for outdoor use?

Currently i have
Yoobao (ori) 11200
Johoyo 13000
Johoyo 8800
Feelook 5200 (korean brand)
Perfume power bank 2600 (china oem)

i ended up prefer to use only feelook cos its smaller and easier to bring out. Although the rest still in my bag pack, but i only use feelook to charge.

what about u guys? Why do you prefer to use high capacity one? n what is the highest capacity u ever bought?

Not heavy? I'm now more into portable one.. As long as charge it full 1 time I'm happy liao.. Like u said, I keep the bigger capacity in case of blackout.. Haha..use with USB fan n USB light
