r/powerbanks

I recently bought a new phone and now I want to get one of those wireless power banks that have magnets since I move around a lot during the day and carrying charging cables everywhere is honestly becoming annoying. The cables connecting the devices are always all over the place. I have been seeing a lot of them on Alibaba but I cannot quite decide which one is actually worth buying.

What I’m looking for is something not small enough to fit into my pocket, at the same time the powerbank should be able to charge my phone to full capacity at least once within the day. One thing I am really concerned about is over heating because I have heard some magnetic power banks tend to get very hot during charging. I also want one with a strong magnet that does not easily fall off while walking around or using the phone.

I do not necessarily need the most expensive option but I would still like something reliable that will last me a long time. Looking forward to hearing your recommendations and experiences with the ones you have used before.

Any powerbank recommendations po? Gagamitin po sana sa 24 hours na byahe. I have an iphone, ipad and an android phone. Medyo mabilis po kasi malowbatt ang iphone ko. Also, di naman ako palagamit ng powerbank if not traveling.

I have two options

a. Anker Power Bank 25000mAh 165W Ultra-Fast Portable Charger with Built-In and Retractable USB C Cable (almost 4k) and;

b. UGREEN 145W 25000mAh Laptop Power Bank Super Fast Charging 140W PD3.1 For Macbook Air/Pro Lenovo (2.6k)

Feeling ko kasi sobrang mahal nung anker and di rin naman ako palagamit. Gusto ko lang yung magtatagal sa akin and if worth it ba kung yung ugreen na lang piliin ko.

Thank you.

I am confused, I want to buy a powerbank but I need good outptspeed like 45w or 65w type of thing so suggest me some. I am Indian so just me brands like this

Is portronics or Urbn reliable

Ambrane is quite expensive

I want 20kmah with 45w or more!!

I have three NB10000 Gen1. They all swollen up, I was using them for some time like that, they charged no problem. But I just read it that it is dangerous to use swollen power banks, so it looks like I will have to dispose them, quite disappointing. Do you know any light weight alternatives to Nitecore? I'm hesitating to spend another 300 euros (I need 30000 for my hikes) and then in two years to throw it away again...

I’m having a road trip in the next few days and I wanted a decent power bank. I know main ones have been anker ugreen and belkin but I need one that’s enough to charge a laptop and phones. It takes 4 days to get to the destination and I have a “remote” job which requires me to use a laptop, I don’t want to pass 90 usd. My top 3 currently to buy is
•Belkin Portable Charger Power Bank, 3-Port Laptop Power Bank 20000 mah,
•UGREEN Power Bank 25,000mAh 145W Laptop Portable Charger,
•UGREEN Nexode Power Bank 25000mAh 200W Laptop Portable Charger

Any advice will be helpful if it’s anything important it’s a Lenovo Chromebook style laptop and an iPhone 11.

I’ve had an older 5000 mAh iniu power bank before that worked perfectly fine. But now I’m looking for something slimmer that I can comfortably keep in my jeans or trouser pocket throughout the day. I’m often walking between university buildings and commuting by train so carrying a heavy brick all the time is a bit annoying. Would prefer something around 5,000–10,000 mAh capacity. I’d also really like at least 30W/20V PD support so I could power my netbook when needed. Are there any good options that combine a slim, pocketable design with fast charging?

Masisira po ba ang powerbank kapag hindi pinu-fullcharge at sobra sa charge? Salamat po

Hi guys, I'm thinking about buying the Anker MagGo Slim 10000 mAh power bank in white, but I've found mixed reviews about it. Some praise it, while others say it has charging issues either that it's very slow to charge or that it just shut down and stopped working completely. What do you recommend? By the way, I have an iPhone 16

Hi,

I have the Redmi Note 13 Pro which support charging at up to 67 W. I also have the Anker Laptop Powerbank (165W, 25000 mAh). However, when using the retractable cable of the powerbank, charging only reaches up to 15-20 W. I understand that this is because of the charging protocol of the phone. Is there any way to make it faster? Would it be possible to use a Xiaomi USB-C to USB-C cable to charge at full (or at least a noticeably higher) speed? I cannot test this by using the original USB-A to USB-C cable, as the powerbank does not support the same wattage on the USB-A port so I would have to buy a new one. Or is there any way to increase charging speed? A friend of mine also has a Xiaomi phone (Xiaomi + Number, not sure which one) and it charges at 67 W using the retractable cable, which I find quite weird as I thought the protocol would apply to all Xiaomi phones.

Thanks for any help!

I just bought the P62-E1 (20,000 mAh, 65W) but I was surprised at how dim the display was when I turned it on compared to the product photos. Is this normal? Are all Iniu powerbanks the same with dim display? Makes it impossible to see outdoors in daytime, I can't read it at all, I have to go back inside or go somewhere really shaded and dark to read it.

I have older powerbanks that use the 4 LED to indicate charge status and those are nice and bright and easy to see in all conditions. I wish manufacturers would go back to something simple like that.

Hey! So I just literally bought this on Amazon and it came yesterday. And I charged it for awhile and when I first plugged it up it flashed 100 and I didn’t think anything of it well I left it charging for a few hours and today I tried to use it and when I plug it up into my Xbox Ally X it just flashes a 1% icon. I tested it with my phone and same thing…. And googling it says to reset the bank to hold the power button for 20second and I tried that and nothing!!!!

i’ve been looking around ebay and it seems all powerbanks there are a huge scam. any actual legitimate powerbank that you guys know of?

Hello, I'm just wondering what would be a good brand of power bank that I could purchase. I'm just a student on a tight budget, so I'd like one that's durable and safe for my phone and laptop battery, please.

I need a power bank that has enough capacity to fully charge a laptop and can charge itself reasonably fast. My laptop can charge itself fully from 0 in about 90 minutes; why do power banks charge themselves so slow? Currently I have a 20000 mah power bank which only gives my laptop about 1/2 charge and takes FOUR hours to charge itself. It’s been really hard to find something that meets what I’m looking for. Is there anything out there that can fully charge a laptop and will charge itself in 2 hours or less?

I’m not using my power bank as often as I used to. Nowadays I charge it fully, keep it unused for around a week, and then use it when needed. Earlier my 10,000mAh power bank could charge my phone almost twice, but now it barely charges it once and only up to around 40%.

Is this normal battery degradation from not using it regularly, or is the battery cooked?
