Running out of battery in the middle of your day is one of those modern frustrations that can derail plans or leave you anxiously watching your phone percentage tick down. A portable charger solves that anxiety but most options are bulky bricks that take up valuable bag space. The INIU 10,000mAh power bank breaks that mold as one of the smallest portable chargers on the market and makes it easy to slip into any pocket or bag compartment. During Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, this model dropped to $21 on day one, but now on the final day, there’s an additional coupon bringing it down to $19, down from the original $29.
The true innovation is INIU’s TinyCell which is high-density battery cells that cram 10,000mAh of capability into a package that is just 30% smaller and 15% lighter than rival packages that deliver the same output. That translates to shouldering serious charging capability without the weight and mass that all too frequently accompanies high-capability power banks.
Speed That Really Saves Your Day
The 45W Power Delivery chip on board provides truly fast charging times. INIU can get an iPhone 17 up to 60% in a mere 25 minutes, the difference between sitting at home waiting on your phone to charge versus walking out the door with enough power left over to get the rest of your day done. That 45W output also translates to being able to support the more power-hungry devices like iPads or be able, in a pinch, to charge some laptops, putting this power bank above the abilities of typical 18W or 20W portable chargers.
The twin USB-C port design distinguishes this from virtually all other power banks available. Both the USB-C ports are dual-purpose as you can charge the power bank itself via either one and as a second output charge devices via either one as well. This is convenient when one is dealing with multiple USB-C device and doesn’t need separate cables that have separate uses. With the addition of the USB-A port, one ends up with three combined outputs that are able to charge the phone, the earbuds, and the smartwatch all at the same time when one is needed.
That 10,000mAh battery is equivalent to approximately two full charges on most smartphones or one full charge on the larger phones with some juice left over. For tablets such as iPads, you can expect about 70-80% of a full charge on the model dependent. The size is balanced between being portable and useful, enough to get through prolonged airplane days or multiple days away from outlets without being too much on everyday carry.
INIU arrives with protection like temperature control, surge protection, and short-circuit protection, aided by their three-year warranty and lifetime tech support. Included is the USB-C to USB-C cable with lanyard, which makes it easy to clip the power bank on packs or have the power bank easily kept close at hand. At $19 after the coupon, this power bank is less expensive than two movie tickets but solves an issue you face every day.
