Got myself Pineng Powerbank from TaoBao .... Straight from Pineng itself.. definitely original.... No doubt... however , this powerbank is disappointing....
Tried to charge my S4 from 40% to 90%.... around 1300mAh... took me 2-3hours to do so ... using 2.1A port ... average charging was 300-500mAh per hour...not as stated of 2A / 1A .... charging history was based on 3rd party android apps...
But to be fair , i got it for RM50+ for a 15,000mAh powerbank . for this price , i didnt expect anything , so long it didnt spoil after using for few times... I still prefer YooBao which can charge much more faster than Pineng ...
The review placed by TaoBao user is simply useless... never ever trust china ppl review ... they have never use high quality product ... LOL

QUOTE(joytest @ Jan 2 2014, 02:32 PM) Have you tried different cables and the Galaxy Charging Current app? This gives you a quantitative comparison. i use 3 cables on diff Pineng powerbank , both giving less than 1k mAh... i got 2 Pineng powerbank , 15k and 10k .... |

QUOTE(joytest @ Jan 2 2014, 02:41 PM) The GCC Now and Avg readings will show you what the powerbank is giving your phone. For the 2.1A port, it should give you a max reading of 1800 for a few seconds from screen off, then drop to 1200. This applies for S4 and Note 3. You MIGHT have some bad cables, or bad powerbanks. My cables are verified for 1800 from the AC charger first then I will test the powerbank. If your cables are not giving you 1800 even from AC then you have lousy cables. my AC giving me >1500mAh ....no problems ...all of my cables use on S4 AC Charge is ok ...only the powerbank itself got problems |

QUOTE(x-treme @ Jan 2 2014, 04:19 PM) The S4 cable i think is data cable. Please use pineng original cable as it is charging cable. Charging current will not be same. ohh... but why data cable can get >1000mAh with S4 charger , while using with Pineng powerbank , its 300-500 ? weird enuf ..nevertheless , i will try it after work |

QUOTE(x-treme @ Jan 2 2014, 04:28 PM) yes. the AC charger have data pin shorted, so the phone can recognize it as AC power source. But pineng powerbank don't have data pin shorted. The pineng cable is data shorted, so it is a charging cable. you can try connect pineng cable with computer, see whether your computer can recognize your S4 or not. true enuf , i use cable provided by Pineng and the charging rate is high.... >1.0A on 2.1A port .... shouldnt use Samsung data cable |
