Charge it in front of aircond blast to reduce environmental heat influence
Twice is more than enough to last my phone until I reach home. And I don't need heavy batteries in my bag

what may happen if i charge my phone wif a china brand power bank?

there are loads of china brand powerbanks around. if we are talking about Yoobao (and I mean original ones, not those fake or imitations), you shouldn't worry much
other brands.. not really sure but i think the worst problem you'll face generally is fast discharge of your powerbank (some 20k mAh will lose to quality 5k mAh)

Okay thanks!
Btw which power bank would u recommend?

I am thinking to get YooBao 13000mAH powerbank.

I have gone thru their website and the online manual and it mentioned that this model needs about 15 hours to fully charge it.

My concern is if I did not charge it fully within 15 hours and most of the time to switch off the charging of the powerbank device at about maybe 5 to 7 hours, will it SPOIL the powerbank?

if you want a decent and lower budget one i'll definitely recommend yoobao. if you got the money and wanna go for good ones i recommend eneloop. I got friends using both and no complain so far.

usually what i'll do is just leave my powerbank on charge overnight. not sure whether it will spoil or not but i'll try to do a full discharge and full charge at least once per week

Yeah, I am thinking to do charging overnight but it will be only about up to 8 hours. Cannot afford to leave it for 15 hours when need to go out.

Are you using YooBao 13000mAh? If yes, how many time can charge the device before it needs to be charge again?

Can charge iphone 5 and ipad 2 directly using iphone or ipad cable, right?

a fully charged 13000mAh yoobao can charge iphone from 10% to 100% around 4.5~5.5 times.
not sure about that.. usually when my friend reach his dorm at 6pm he'll just leave it at charge until next morning 7am. around 13 hours lah. i'm using 5200mAh now.. need to charge around 6~7 hours only. can charge iphone for 2~3 times, which is enough for me

I bought a Yaobao 13000 maH Decepticons heh heh heh. Make sure it's Original, if it sounds too cheap, most likely it's fake. Yaobao has a website where you can scratch the box and you can input the code to check if the product is fake or not.

I have had no issues with it. It is able to fully charge my Lumia 920 (2000maH), iPhone 4s, iPad 2 (2 units) and an iPhone 4 .... and still have some charge to do another round for the iPhone 4s .... it is that good.

It's a China brand and some people may have issues with that but remember in the early 70's, people say the same thing about Japanese made products as well.

japanese product made in malaysia (sony)
American product made in china (Iphone)
chinese product made in china (yaobao)

May I know where you get it and how much?

No problem for iphone 5, right?

Can also charge those small small things like Bluetooth headset, ZTE MF60 Mifi etc, right?

Thanks.

PS. Why heh heh heh for Decepticons??? hehe......no Autobots one??

Th fake ones ar going for RM160 in some of the Low Yat stores but I insisted on an original one so the guy went somewhere and brought me a box which is a bit different that the fake ones (with the name of the sole distributor clearly marked on the box). I paid RM260 for it.

Not sure about iPhone 5 because I don't own one. I decided to go with Nokia Lumia 920 after the 4s.

The original one comes with a 3 pin plug to charge the PB and some accesories (Micro USB, Micro USB to 30 pin etc etc) but I am not sure abiut BT headsets etc (if it has a MicroUSB charging port it shout work). It comes with 2 charging port (1A and 1.5A I think, so for the iPad or iPhone, you need to use the higher ampere slot)

yoobao

This is the one I am using. Nice design as well.

mmmmmm.....

I saw some of the Low Yat trader saying selling 13000mAh for RM165 and real original one with Sole Distributor Mobile Dot Com sticker on the box.

But you paid RM260 and they are selling RM165 !!!

So, not sure fake one or ori one !!!!

Confusing now, don't know want to buy or not !!!

I bought it from a Low Yat store so there will always be a premium for that. I was back in KL for 4 days so really had no time to wait for the traders in this forum. So I think the RM260 that I paid is at a premium,

I am pretty sure it is much cheaper than what those guys are selling in Low Yat. If the feedback from those who bought from the LYN traders are good, I'm sure they are selling the original ones.

But as always, buyer beware.

Yea, I do agree with you
Do research about whether is genuine or fake ones. There are many looks like original, but actually its fake

i win bid from lelong last day YOOBAO 10400 MAH MAGIC CUBE POWER BANK wining bit for rm80.. add shipping fee rm20 total rm100.. cant wait for this power bank arrived..
anyone have been try this power bank?

The one you described was the "original local" set obtained from the sole distributor. There are also some real genuine "original china" set produced by yoobao and imported straight by sellers without modifications. Yoobao also provide OEM/ODM services to produce for other companies. Of course they are other fakes too. Some prices quoted are too high I think.

Power banks should have very high profit margin. So if you can get a way to import original yoobao directly you may be selling at a real low price while being unbelievably genuine. Judgement is up to buyers afterall. Seen some selling at really low proce and customers proved them genuine from yoobao china.

Been using Yoobao 7800 mah for few months now. Capable of charging my iPhone 4S up to 5 times. Impressive.
