Pls Guide - Looking for a good Powerbank

[techie_vintage]

Hello!
I am looking for a good, durable, sleek and lightier powerbank. M currently using MI 10400 mAh powerbank. I found it really good in the online reviews but I am in need of a lighter model, preferably of the same power capacity.
Pls. Help!
Thanks!

power capacity of a powerbank is directly related to the weight (and size) of the battery cells themselves

(as long as you get a reputable company who uses good cells, accurately reports the true capacity, and puts in enough voltage regulation circuits to prevent overloading/fire/etc)

most banks use circular 18650 Li-Ion cells which are pretty standardized...

a 10000mAh battery will typically weight 200-300g depending on material (plastic, aluminium, 1 or 2 USB outputs...)

Your Mi2 10400mAh: 250g
Anker 2nd gen E3 10000mAh: 230g
Poweradd 10000mAh: 280g
Easy Acc 10000mAh: 241g

Thanks for the detailed reply!
How is ADATA PT100? It's heavy (350 gm) but it's small in size and easy to handle.. Also has 2 output ports..
Is it good?

I like my Anker as well. I don't need it along with my Mophie since my battery lasts a day and a half at a time now, but the Anker was really great.

Yep. I only use Anker for power products. I have 5 (maybe more now?) power hubs and I use an Anker power bank as well. Its not heavy by any means and it will charge anything you throw at it. The big thing is the IQ technology that lets you plug in whatever you want and it sets the rights amps for that device automatically.


Here is what I use:
