Used to use Xiaomi, the last one I bought was Anker because I'm more paranoid. I see people open up the Anker ones for review got the protection circuits and proper BMS etc so I trust.

But actually my old Xiaomi's never failed on me also, after many years just cannot hold charge any more never expand or have anything scary happen.

Ugreen I got buy their GaN chargers as I've seen reviews of those and they are well built, so I think I'd trust their powerbanks also.

Considering how many of the cheap ones tend to explode and shit, I would NEVER cheap out of chargers and powerbanks for my main devices.

I do use some cheap chargers but those are for low power things like my cats toys, etc.

bought based on ur suggestion

What I have:

1. Aukey 10k (very good, lasting long per full charge)
2. Cuktech 10k “credit card size” (also very good, has CCC)
3. Remax 10k with CCC (not fully tested, just peram in case need to go to China)
4. Yoobao 10k from 2-3 yrs ago (bateri not long lasting anymore, may soon just donate to e-waste recycling)

Been using Baeus, but Pineng is my new favourite. Convenient, light, fast charge.

About to fly to China, do I need to buy a CCC power bank?
I reckon the CCC is only applied to domestic flight.
Anyone experience going to China lately?

I just back Shanghai - KL and they officer took up my power bank to check for the CCC logo.

Very strict now.

Currently use xone magsafe powerbank for my iphone 16 pro max and honor90 5g, very slim and fit nicely into my sling bag 😎👍🚀🐝

U sure they checking for CCC or CE logo for international flights?

CCC 👍

Shanghai - KL = international flight

The officer took my power bank from the tray and turned it upside down to check for CCC.

Either checking for CCC compliance, check power bank is male or female or they think my power bank very cute.

Depends on the officer on duty strict or lax I guess.

It's a cuktech CP13 10000mah.

They not familiar with Cuktech yet but getting more and more popular despite the company name.

Cuktech ftw

I use Ugreen Nexode 25000mAh, 2 fast charging Type C (140w and 100w) and 1 normal Type A (forget how fast). Used it EVERYDAY for 2 years till now without issue. Can carry it to flight also.

this is only for domestic China flights

International flights are exempted.

I fly once/twice to China monthly carrying a powerbank without the CCC with no problem at all

Thats why i ask they checking for CCC or CE as there are conflicting claims.

Regardless CCC or CE requirement, confirm they will check the powerbanks are below 100watt or not.

You get what you pay for.

I just got a new Anker 26500mah 165W last 10.10 sale. Got it because no choice, travelling to china need a CCC powerbank.

Previously been using a few 45W 20kmah Xiaomi ones (black colour), that were very reliable and lasted for many years (still have them and they are ALL still working, some over 5 years old). They are actually not bad for the price now, can find for around 80, less than half what I paid for them when they first introduced.

Those more expensive high capacity, high discharge powerbanks quite likely have better cells, likely 21700 instead of the cheaper 18650 which is why they are expensive and come with extra stuff you dont really need like "smart" digital display, built in cable, etc.

If these high end ones are a bit too pricey, just stick to more established brands' lower range offerings. Anker, Ugreen, Xiaomi have been good to me (maybe cuktech also). Those mega wattage ones only make sense if you intend to power your laptop and phone at the same time. If its just your phone, even my 5 year old Xiaomi 45W is more than enough (it will also power my laptop at 45W, but only 1 device), at 1/4 the price of my Anker

As for max output ratings, take it with a grain of salt. The premium ones will let you know exactly which port and how many devices can share the max output. My Anker for example says 165W max, but single line output is only 130W. Other cheaper powerbank will only list total output and sometimes single line output will max out at a rather low 20-30W only.

And as for the max capacity, you are usually going to get like 70-80% of the advertised capacity only. Better brands will list actual usable capacity. My Xiaomi 20K for example, lists usable capacity at around 13k mah only.

powerbank I use xiaomi onli

will consider ugreen if no better choice coz their cable quality is gooding

You never go wrong with Ugreen, good choice with reasonable price 😃👍

Lol, i am still using my old trusty Aukey PB-T10 20000mAh powerbank which i bought in the year 2016. Only drawback now is that it only use micro-usb cable to recharge it.

At least tell people your usage and device... Later people recommend 8w power bank to you while you use a power hungry device that needs least 20w that barely even able to charge.
