Heard from colleague.. Megatex selling Xiaomi power bank 10400 for $15 + matching jacket for $3 :s12:

EDIT: Be careful buying at Megatex. Quite a few vendors are carrying the power banks including 16000 but the one I looked at seems to have fakes. Be sure to do some checks for authenticity when you buy. I had shared a video tutorial before on how to check.

Anyway I just wanted the jacket for $3 so fake or not doesn't matter. :) The vendors are at the back and on the left side when you enter Expo hall 6.

It was reported that Valore had issued and was recalled. That is what I mean by getting fried.

There are many cheap powerbanks out there but I'm worried about how reliable they are.

the one they recalled back is even better then the one they replaced... so sad got a bad powerbank =(

If you want the 10400 power bank from Xiaomi just buy it off Qoo10. I bought a dozen off Qoo10.

Most part of the price in "expensive" products like sanyo or panasonic come from their branding and advertising expenses. And of course packaging. Xiaomi cuts on all these costs by minimizing advertising (I haven't really seen any - it's all word of mouth/fingers), not charging you for their "brand", using minimal packaging, etc. Unlike name-brands like Sony, Panasonic for which the actual manufacturing cost of product is only a small percentage of sale price, Xiaomi's manufacturing cost is very near the sale price. Which is why the sale price is so low. While name-brands spend a lot on non-manufacturing costs and then recover them from high sale prices, Xiaomi manages to save all that and pass the savings to you. If anecdotes are of any value, I can say my $20 powerbank is performing exceptionally well. And to remind you, the battery cells are sourced from Samsung and LG.

fyi, valore is a house brand of challenger; the powerbank is likely made by a OEM with a valore branding added

"can charged how many cycle" is not the right question to ask, as this depends on 2 variable factors, namely the capacity of the powerbank & the capacity of your handphone/tablet

fyi, 2800mAh is quite a small capacity for a powerbank. a typical handphone will has a battery between 2000 to 3000mAh. this 2800mAh powerbank will barely charge a handphone 1 time.

note that a 1000mAh powerbank will not charge a 1000mAh handphone battery fully, due to some efficiency losses
