QUOTE(LegendLee @ Apr 30 2015, 01:00 PM) Had the 10k mAh xiaomi power bank (got it directly from xiaomi, so it's not a counterfeit) Charges my iPhone fast but there is one drawback. It cannot charge an iPhone that battery has gone flat. Was using The 5k mAH eneloops. Though smaller capacity, it can charge my phone even when it's flat. really? try pressing the power button on the power bank and it should start charging for me

Not trying to insult your intelligence there. Coz my old iphone 4 need not to press the power button to get it to charge but my new iPhone 6 needs to press the button. Just sharing  That's first time I hear that though. Weird issue.

I'm using the iphone5S. I need to press the power button. (Plugs in > charges > then stop charging after 2 seconds > press power again > start charging) The xiaomi charger did not have any issues charging my iphone(as long as it's battery is not flat) or my Redmi note. But I always can't seem to get it to power up and charge my iphone. At first I thought it was the cable, but I tested this out with orginal apple cables and certified belkin cables. Same issue.

This happened to me several times but it does not occur for my eneloops. Hmm... It goes like Flat > battery bank plugged in > charging > switches on > stop charging while starting up > phone goes back to flat without switching on. I'm actually pretty happy with the 5s. Not too large and more than sufficient speed. But battery life is horrible after 1.5 years of usage. Regretted not swapping it for another refurbished right after the one year warranty was up.

Change your ip5s battery to new one? Price should be less than rm200 I think

I use Soshine E4S. User replaceable 18650 LiPo battery can run on 1 or 2 battery. Works great.. LCD performance tells you sufficient information on the source battery or item you are charging. It will automatically shutdown if load is less then 100mA can be annoying if your are trying to continuous run items with low power drain items.
Power rating depends on what rated battery you put in.. so no more ripoff jobs.. good thing is you can charge a coup of battery for stand by. It can be switch to deliver 2.1A or 1.0A.

QUOTE(Connect2USales @ Mar 23 2015, 09:43 AM) no doubt xiaomi is good... but QC not consistent.. i got few 10k and 5k model, some can charge within few hours while some need to charge more than 24 hours to get it full... usually is user problem. If cable faulty will affect or if didnt plug in properly so better check first. i got all 4 never had such problem
