![INIU USB C to USB C Charger Cable, [2m] 100W PD3.0 Type C Cable Fast Charging, Phone Charger USB-C Data Lead for MacBook Pro](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/715Y-gOWdKL._AC_UL200_SR200,200_.jpg)
I picked this up from Amazon for £9.99 and I must admit, I was really skeptical at first. I just could not imagine this being high quality and durable at all, really thought it would probably die on me after a few uses, however it surprised me - in a good way.
I've used this since 7 February (about a month when posting this review) and it performed really well.
DESIGN
It has a plastic housing (just like most portable chargers) with a fairly high quality feel. I've not dropped it yet, luckily, however it does feel sturdy that I'm fairly sure it can withstand small drops as well, without much damage to the internals, of course.
It's very portable and slim, however I advise against carrying this in your pocket. It may be bulky and I in general just don't consider that a safe move. Carry it in a backpack or it's own case, it's better safe than sorry.
PORTS & LED
There are 3 ports available. 2 of these are inputs (MicroUSB + USB-C), and 2 output (USB 3.0 + USB-C). I was disappointed to still see a MicroUSB port on a portable charger these days, but hey, for £9.99 I will try my very best to not complain about it. It has a normal USB 3.0 port and a USB-C port that also has Power Delivery (which is a safe charging standard that charges compatible devices faster without too much heat being generated and much impact on the battery life in long-term use)
It also has Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 which is also backwards compatible with 2.0 and 1.0. (These are all charging standards by Qualcomm, who makes mobile chipsets that essentially power your device - they're safe, but from my experience warm up the device and reduce the battery life over time quite significantly - your experience may vary however)
There's also a 4 dot blue LED setup just above the MicroUSB port that is helpful to see how much juice you have left in the power bank. I still prefer to see actual numbers showing the percentage, but yet again, I won't complain at this price. The LEDs are bright enough to see in broad daylight and dim enough to not blind you in pitch black at night.
INCLUDED ACCESSORIES
The package also provides 1x USB to MicroUSB cable and 1x USB-C to USB-C cable. Both cables are roughly 20cm (7.8") long which are more than enough to plug in your phone and throw it in your backpack, or even while in your car. I especially found the added cables a nice touch at this very affordable price.
BATTERY LIFE & CHARGING
I've tested my Google Pixel XL, Google Pixel 2 XL, Samsung Galaxy S9 and iPhone X to evaluate the performance of this power bank. All devices were charging at the maximum allowed charging speeds and I never experienced any issues whatsoever. The 10,000 mAh can really get you far, however what's also a good thing to know is that you can charge 2 devices simultaneously by having one cable plugged into the USB 3.0 port and another into the USB-C port. It's really convenient.
To charge the power bank back up, I will most likely avoid charging via the MicroUSB port as I personally dislike it. Since the future is all about USB-C, I would also recommend everyone to pick up a cable and start using it as more devices come out with that very important, versatile and useful port. I have so far charged this power bank up via USB-C only and it went from 0% to 100% in about 2.5 hours as advertised with an 18W charger. It may have taken a bit longer at times, however based on the fact that you are charging a 10,000 mAh slim brick, I find it fast.
I was unable to test if this would charge a USB-C Chromebook or any other laptop, however the description on the product page states that any laptops that require an input power over 22W may not be supported, so Macbooks can definitely not be charged with this power bank. I would also point out that you should not try it - no matter what safety mechanisms are in place in both your laptop and this power bank, things can at any time go wrong, it's not worth the risk.
CONCLUSION
Well, If you managed to get this far, I first of all would like to thank you for reading my short review here on Amazon. Second of all, I can only really say that I'm very impressed by the quality and overall performance of this power bank. I can much recommend it to any casual user who may require to juice up a device or two while on-the-go, or a hard core user who always needs some juice with them to keep them going at an affordable price.
Thank you, hope you find this informative.

This powerbank ticked all the right boxes for me.
It arrived in the frustration free packaging with the usual amazon packaging.
The box had the power bank, warranty card, info material and 2 usb cables. yes 2 :) one normal USB to micro USB and the other one with USB C at both ends which is amazing coz companies these days cut costs by not providing enough cables that are essential.
Whatever type of phone you have, you are mostly covered by this powerbank unless you have a mini usb phone.
The powerbank can be charged either by the micro usb cable or if you have the new macbooks / chromebooks, you can use the USB C cable to charge it.
If you have a QC 3.0 supported phone, that is when you will see the real potential of this lil beauty as you can charge your phone to 80% in like 20-30 mins.
Build quality is on the same level as Anker or the other known brands and has a very rounded feel that can be easily carried in a jeans pocket. See the comparison photo with a standard sky remote.
Using it couldnt be more simpler, you plug the phone with the right cable and just press the power button on the side and you are off.
There is also tiny little handy lights (for showing how much juice youve got left) above the micro usb port that are functional and yet non intrusive.
If you are in the market for a useful, flexible and a QC3.0 powerbank, do not hesitate.
You can buy some powerbanks with higher mAH but they are usually bulky and cumbersome to carry around. For me this is the ideal size for a powerbank.
small, handy, multiple input / outputs, USB C, quick charge 3.0 awesomeness
