Why I Swear by My Trusty Power Bank

I've been using my power bank for over a year now, and it's been a total lifesaver on more than one occasion. I bought it because I was fed up with my phone dying all the time when I was out and about. The charging block is super compact and fits perfectly in my hand, although it can be a bit heavy.

The charging cable is nice and short, which I actually prefer. It doesn't get in the way when I'm working with my phone, but it can stick out a bit when my phone is in my pocket. Luckily, it doesn't get caught on anything.

The charging block itself is a bit slippery, so I have to hold my phone tightly to it. If you like to hold your phone on your knee, be careful - your phone might slide right off the power bank.

One of the things I love about this power bank is that it supports fast charging. If your phone has that feature, you'll be charging your phone a lot faster - it's a huge time-saver, trust me.

As for the charging time, it's not super quick, but it's quick enough for me. It takes about two hours to go from 2% to 80% - I didn't time it exactly, but it's a good estimate.

I have to say, my phone dies super quickly in the cold, and this power bank has been a game-changer for me. It's been a huge plus when I'm traveling, too. I can use my phone for music, reading, and videos without worrying about the battery dying.

Another huge plus is that the block doesn't overheat, and it stays at the same temperature. It's also really convenient to use - I can charge my phone and my navigator at the same time.

Now, about the finish - it does get scratched up over time, but it's not a huge deal. I've been using it for over a year, and it still works like a charm.

I charge the block overnight and use it all day without recharging it - it lasts me. I still carry the charger with me just in case, though.

One of the things I love about this power bank is the button that lets you check the remaining charge by the glowing dots. You can also reset the block, which is really convenient. There are two USB ports - one micro and one type C - and the cable can be removed and connected to the power bank or a wall adapter.

I've gotten a lot of compliments and questions about where I got this power bank and whether it's a good product. It's definitely worth every penny - it's been a total lifesaver for me.

However, there is one major flaw that's really annoying - the micro USB cable gets worn out over time, and the connection starts to fail. My phone keeps signaling that it's not charging or that the connection is lost, which is really frustrating, especially when it's in my pocket and the cable gets caught on something.

The cable starts to malfunction because I'm constantly throwing the power bank in my bag or purse, and it either bends or the metal inside the cable starts to wear out. I mean, how am I supposed to carry it around? In a box? The cable feels really durable, but I don't have any kinks in it, and it's still a problem with the connection. It's not the phone's charging port - I have other cables that work fine with my phone.

I've had to exchange the cable for a new one under warranty a few times now, and then I have to find a new cable when the warranty expires. A new cable lasts me about a month, which is super frustrating.

Another small minus is that there's no type C cable included. I gave this power bank to someone who has a phone with a type C port, and they had to find their own cable.

Overall, I'm really happy with this power bank, but that one flaw is really annoying. I hope the manufacturer will address it in future versions.

Thanks for reading.

Good charging to you all!
