Hellow everyone! Im new here :)

Im looking for a powerbank for my mobile phone, HTC One M7. I think that 10000 mAh is the best solution.

Power Bank Omega 10000mAh looks nice, what do you think about it?
Many people recommend XIAOMI 10400MAH POWERBANK, its said to be great one, but imo. its a bit too big.


Any opinions?

And it works great. For newer devices (like my M8 or N7) you can hook it up to the 2.1 and it will charge very quickly. The iPhone doesn't complain about it, and you can charge two devices at once.

It is a modern marvel. I bought an Energizer XP8000 in 2010 that was a smaller pack, not nearly as nice of build, and with WAY less features for three times as much.

I have an Anker as well, forgot the model # but it has 2 ports for iProducts and 2 for android. Works great, had it arounf 6 months now and my iphone 5 only flipped out once but its dying anyway as its over 2 years old. Doesnt get hot at all even with all 4 ports plugged in.

Unless I'm missing something, it's all USB so that would be 4 iDevices or 4 Android devices, or any combination of them.

From newegg:

Apple: iPhone 5S, 5C, 5, 4S, 4; iPads and iPods @ 2.1A

Android: Samsung Galaxy S4, S3, S2, Galaxy Note 2, 3; Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX, Motorola X; HTC One X V S; All @ 1.5A

Tablets & Other Devices: PSP; Kindle, Kindle Fire; Nexus 7, 10 etc. @ 1.5A (NOT compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tabs)

Anker External Batteries: All @ up to 1.5A


I guess the difference is in the amps.

Yes, the amps are the difference. In the higher end models, they have the IQ where it automatically sets the amps based on the device.

I use these at my shop:

I have 5 of them and they work great for iPads, iPhones, Android, my e-cigs...

What I don't get with this is I don't think those older phones like the iPhone 4 came with a 2.1 amp charger. I thought the ipads came with the bigger charger in addition to the newer phones. This 2.1 amp rating is the equivalent to the "10 watt" info you see on the new chargers.

I have an iPhone 5 and it does NOT charge at 2.1A even with a 2.1A charger. Only iPads will pull that much. I have yet to measure the 6, but I'm guessing its a 1A draw only.

Hello! I am also a newbie! :)

Came across this topic and I am also looking for a good powerbank. I do appreciate other comments about Anker and I am looking into that for consideration.

Well, I am also considering to purchase an Kinkoo Infinite Nova 10000mah. I like the sleek design, it looks so professional. Anker is made from where?

Just incase you would like to compare Anker and Kinkoo here is the link:
