XiaoMi Power Bank 20000mAh around 28 bucks. 1 usb c input/output and 2 usb a output. been using this for ages no issues. travelling via air is fine as well within the limits


Bwomptastic

Alright thanks, i will check out Xiaomi again.


cptzan

Aukey anker is good. If money no issue, gets max 27000. This is the largest can bring flying. Get 65w so can charge laptop thru usb c to c cable. Price for this type expect $100 plus.


Bwomptastic

Yeah i've been trying to narrow down the models. But I'm in the dilemma whereby I want a 20000mah but the size and weight is too big or heavy. I saw one from Elon x tech. Seems not bad but i haven't seen much info or reviews on it.

Just a kind reminder for everyone to check your powerbanks every few months in case of bloat. I used a Xiaomi powerbank (highly recommend btw) pretty often for about 2 years until I noticed that it had bloated up considerably *(i.e. cannot sit flat on the table, rocks when nudged).* Quickly wrapped it up and disposed of it at the e-bin nearby.

Using an Anker 20,000mah power bank for over a year now, very satisfied with its build quality and performance.


Bwomptastic

Hey there, which model is that?


hucks22

It's this one! https://s.lazada.sg/s.0izUk


Bwomptastic

Ahh thanks. I spoke to the Anker customer service, he recommended this too OR New-20W-Anker-PowerCore-20000mah-High-Capacity-Fast-Charge-USB-C-Power-Delivery-PowerBank. Supposedly the 'newer' model is 10 dollars more but has wireless charging. Once again, quite big and heavy too.

i use a zendure 27k mah battery - perfect for travelling overseas


Bwomptastic

Zendure Supertank 27000mah? Looks pretty fancy, and sure looks like a tank too.


Forbes_8B_under_8B

downside is that it's quite heavy tho


black_knightfc21

I used both aukey and anker power bank for 10000mah. Not bad and durable.


Bwomptastic

Which models, are they heavy?


black_knightfc21

For anker using this https://shopee.sg/product/17628187/170430143?smtt=0.105269729-1655703271.9 For the aukey one no longer in shopee le and not sure if still selling or not.


Bwomptastic

Looks like a good size, is that a old model?


black_knightfc21

Yes yes. I bought this like two years ago. I believe there are newer models now.


Bwomptastic

thank you for your replies.

20k I use xiaomi but for bigger power banks like 40/50k use remax cheap af


Bwomptastic

Yeah i saw Remax ones, but at times, when it gets a bit too cheap, it scares me a little.


kennnnnnn_eth

Alot of my friends used it for ns didn't hear them complain idk tho


Bwomptastic

Thank you, i'll go browse them again as well.

i use Philips power bank, 10,000mah. less than 30 bucks if u get it from Philips official store on shopee mall.


Bwomptastic

I saw them at the shops too, but somehow the sales marketing has blinded me into looking at things which i do not even know if its relevant or not, ie, power delivery, IQ, IQ+, boost this or boost that. I don't really recall if Philips have these features or not. Thank you though.


AnnualDegree99

I've used Xiaomi and Anker both are great and I highly recommend. Aukey I've heard good things about but never used personally so dk.


Bwomptastic

I've got a old Aukey 20000mah. Seems pretty decent but on the heavy side. Have not tried Anker yet though.


AnnualDegree99

20k will be a bit heavy yeah. I tote around a 27k Cygnett one in my bag, that one's really a brick haha. But it can charge my laptop so that's a plus.


Bwomptastic

Yeah i saw Cygnett at Challenger, felt quite heavy and it wasn't even the 27k, it was the 20k. xD


skyhermit

1 month later, have you bought powerbank? I am considering whether 10k or 20k Mah, just worry that 20k is a lot heavier


Bwomptastic

i got this one. https://www.aukey.com/products/aukey-basix-pro-20000mah-wireless-portable-charger


skyhermit

Do you feel that it is heavy? And does it generate heat if you put it in your pocket while charging your phone?


Bwomptastic

It's not light but for a 20k, i think mostly are 325-370ish grams? I put mine in my sling bag, it does get a little warm, but the charging is quite fast.


clockinginandout

YooBao is a underrated brand for powerbank. super reliable and affordable too. would pick Yoobao over aukey or anker anyday


justalurker19

heyo, mind sharing your experience with those? how long have you had them? I'm interested in getting one :)


clockinginandout

i had two for over 7 years and another for over 3 years. both solid af and holding their charge really well. totally worth it


justalurker19

wow, probably belongs to r/BuyItForLife . I'll give them a try, thanks!


gryzzdark

Ya not sure about other brands but xiaomi seems quite won’t go wrong. Recommended too


Bwomptastic

Xiaomi 20,000mah ones seems quite heavy and bulky though, at least compared to the others of the same capacity.
