[jaymessofly]

which capaity u got?
the 10k ?

Yeap. Mine is the 10k. I was actually expecting more from it.

Or do I have to *break in* the battery? That was my first use with it.

maybe try season it little bit
by right powerbank no need to season it too
or its might be a lemon set

If lemon set, anybody knows what Xiaomi's exchange policy is like?
I bought it from Xiaomi's website directly.

For your Xiaomis, are they holding up charge well?

Just bought mine and only managed to get only one full charge for my iPhone 6 and iPad Mini 2 out of it.

80% conversion rate, sounds right to me.

Thanks guru. Was just expecting more, haha. But if this is the acceptable rate then I'm fine with it.

If you go Qoo10 and search for power banks hor, there's those unbranded 12,000 or 20,000 or even more etc
I don't even think their conversion rate is more than 50% even with best case scenario

Xiaomi 16,000 one min. conversion rate is 62.5%(usually would be more lah but worse case scenario is 62.5%)

Also, here's their warranty claim and stuff

I charge my iphone 6 twice and ipad mini 2 once (from ~20% to full) the LED indicator says that 2/4 of the bank is left.

I'm using my own Verbatim 30cm cable to charge when using on the go. Sometimes use Apple when I carry a bag, then can put the power bank in a bag.

another way to polong any portable device battery
dont use supe high power outpuet charger
it suck the life out of a battery lifespan
and cut short it

for iphone i use max 1.5a output same for my powerbank too
if u dont worry of replacement then go for 2.1 or higher too

 

[yuemin]

bought this [PREMIUM] ROMOSS SAILING 5 Samsung Lithium 13,000mAh | Lazada Singapore when it was $50, used some $10 disc = $40 shipped to me via taqbin.

kind of big, a little heavy.
but it doesn't get hot compared to others i had & it supposedly is able to simultaneously charge your item & receive charge at the same time. tried once, it did work.

gives the iP6 about at least 5 charges? i think!

Didn't know that .....

I like use 2.1 cuz its a lot faster eh. So far no issue eh

 

[audioenslave]

Any recommendation for slim powerbank perhaps like 6 plus thinness and above 10k battery juice?

 

[fade_white]

why do you even need a powerbank?

i'm using iphone 6 plus and i have problem trying to drain it at the end of the day even with heavy usage.

Apple only make one phone issit...

Anker is the closest I can think of now. Xiaomi is making one slim one too.

Use Power Banks that have the technology of automatically discharging the correct output to your Device. Like Anker's Power IQ Technology or Xiaomi's Powerbanks.
