nice...!! another thing diff is the life span.. some of the power bank that I know KO after 2-3 years.... battery dead can't be charged..

compare with iwalk scorpion and belkin valet charger..i think i choose iwalk more..compact slim n great design..

u done a right things ...

Yeap will try to remember to charge it every now and then

good

Xiaomi Powerbanks really low quality, only good thing is the affordability.

Over the years I've owned:

First Gen 10k - very short life span, battery 70-80% life by 8-9 months despite light usage (1 week only used up 100%)
Slim 5k - similar experience as the 10k but symptoms show much earlier around 6-7 months.
Pro 10k - Swollen after less than 10 months of ownership. Light usage, only use it 2-3 times a month during travels.

All my Powerbanks are well taken care of and kept indoor under room temp when not in used. Despite this they still cannot tahan.

My current main PB is a Pineng 6k model, its been good so far after 14 months. If it continue to be reliable then I will continue to support the brand in future.

currently owned xiaomi , pineng and aukey powerbank ... one at the office , one at home and the other one in my sling bag

Good usage with Pineng brand. I have one of those 10200mah ones. It has been 4 years now and yet still reliable. However, must take care not to purchase knockoffs which is alot in the market. If I were to replace it, I might be tempted to go for another Pineng but with faster charging version.

Still haven’t touched a power bank since the days of iPhone 6 Plus. Anyone else here same?

I hv pineng 10k being use for almost 5 year and still working great
I hv xiaomi ZMI 20k with usb C for a year now..
very nice as it can charge my macbook and iPhone

I have never bought a power bank at all haha. Was really contemplating on getting a power bank just in case but for all the years I have been using smartphones, I managed to survive without one. Scared if I buy it, it will be for the sake of buying it and may not even use it at all

Ya, I’ve never bought one either, but do have some free ones here and there when buying other stuffs or lucky draws. The last time I needed one was when I was using iPhone 5

In need of a powerbank with the following specs:

- 5000/10000mAh
- as light as possible preferably around 120-140g for 5kmAh or 180-200g for 10kmAh
- dual USB output
- fastest charging speed.

Currently using a One Plus 3 but changing to a One Plus 6/6T or a Pixel 3 end of the year so I'm not sure which charging tech would be the best.

Currently eyeing Anker and Aukey.

been eyeing on xiaomi 20000 mah fast charged power bank.. but before i get.. i would like ask all sifu here.. is there any problem bringing 20k mah powerbank on flight? i remember saw somewhere got ppl mentioned only 10k mah is allow... hope to clarify before i buy it... thanks alot

IIRC its max at 100Wh. Anything lower is ok. ie PBs lower than 27,000mah
