Cheapest Powerbank 5500mah Review

Most people now have high end mobile devices and cameras. And all these gadgets no matter how expensive they are, consumes battery. The battery will run out fast especially if you're browsing the internet or playing games non-stop. then, what you need is a powerbank.

 What is a powerbank?
                 A Powerbank is a portable device used to put energy into a secondary cell or rechargeable battery by forcing an electric current through it's reserved energy/power. It can solve many mobile devices power supply problems in terms of power shortage and can make your work and travel carefree. Powerbanks appear attractive,compact,small in size, light weight and easy to carry.

I will be going on a vacay (boracay island) by next week, So I really needed a powerbank for me to stay updated and can instantly post my pictures on the social networking sites. I was browsing the web in search for a good and useful Powerbank with higher "mAH" because the higher mAH is, the higher storage capacity. So, you can enjoy more shots per charge from your camera, mobile phone, and tablets.

Some powerbanks are way over my budget, so I went over to a CD-r King store (a popular store here in the Philippines which offers quality and affordable products) in search for a cheaper Powerbank. And Good Lord they have these:

 My CD r-King MOBILE POWER BANK 5500mAH!

priced only at 480pesos (US$12) This is a steal right?
They only have (2) available units left when I got there.

Suitable for most mobile phones, digital cameras, pocket wifi, and tablets. 

Inside the box are: The cd-r king mobile Power bank 5600mAH capacity, A micro-USB cable to charge the power bank and a Connector pin.

The USB cable is about 40cm long. and it doesn't come up with an adaptor charger but you can always buy at any retail stores or you can plug it on your laptop/ CPU for charging.

Zoomed in: for the power output information and  usage time.

What I like about this power bank is its very easy to use, just plug your device, press the power ON button and charging will automatically begin. And if you're done charging, Just disconnect its cable and it will automatically turn OFF itself. There is also an LED display indicator of how many percent of  remaining "power supply" same goes when your recharging your powerbank. The Percent indicator will increase up to (98 percent). unlike other powerbanks that has indicator lights only. 


It can also charge (2) gadgets at the same time. What I don't like is the thickness, 2.3cm in width. It's kind of bulky in my pocket. So, I bring it in a purse.


Size comparison to a smartbro Pocket wifi.

 So, MUST TRY or LAST TRY?

 I say it's a MUST TRY.

 PROS: Easy to Use, LED display for Percent indicator, Nice and compact design.

CONS: Not pocket size friendly but can fit in a purse.

  3. as of now:
    .
    Iyong ibang Power Bank ng Cdr-King ay DI Worth(sulit) It.,
    .
    Bakit?
    .
    Una., Iyong Mah(capacity ng battery) na nakaindicate sa product ay di totoo,. mismo technician ng cdr-king nagsabi sa akin., pero kung ganun pa man dapat indicate nila ang totoo MAH
    ..,
    Pangalawa, Matagal magcharge ang powerbank,. tapos ang bilis pa malowbat
    .
    Halimbawa:
    Meron ako 14400 mah na CDR-KING POWER bank
    Kaya nito magcharge ng 1000 mah NA BATTERY na 14 times pero base sa dry run test ko within 1 week ko nabili.,
    Only 9000 mah lang kinaya..
    .
    fyi:almost 15 hours(full hour charge ng 14400 mah) ko chinarge ang powerbank
    .
    Gusto ko man ibalik pero parang mabibiwsit ka lang sa mga staff ng cdr-king dahil sa pagtanggi nila sa produkto nila na binili ko. Para sa akin,Magsasayang lang kau ng pera para sa mga powerbank nila.,Maari magamit mo man pero iyong pera na binayad mo para sa specification ng product nila ay hindi sulit.,
    .
    Last try na ako bibili ng powerbank ng cdr-king., Mas mabuti bumili ng branded kahit mahal, totoo ang MAH na nakaindicate doon at tumatagal.,
    .
    Gusto ko lang ishare sa inyo ito para di rin kau madisappoint pagdating ng araw
    .

    1. May mga brands talaga na they are just using MARKING capacity instead of REAL capacity. Sasabihin nila yung napakababang price with a very high capacity na hindi naman pala totoo. I have tried using 3 different powerbank and yung iba naipahingi ko na lang dahil di naman ako satisfy.
      Right now, I'm using Airborne Tech Powerbank. it's 10,000 mah and very reasonable yung price. No worries pa dahil may automatic cut-off feature sya. kahit i charge mu sya overnight ok lang. the same while charging my phone using it.

  4. If you would do a further research with regards to powerbank, makikita mo na kung ano ung nakalagay na mah not necessarily na ayon ang maoprovide ng powerbank, I am a seller kaya nagresearch ako, at hindi direct na powerbank capacity/battery capacity ang accurate computation, walang accurate. Yung Mah is just an indicator how much energy capacity the battery could charge itself, wala pa doon ung heat factor, battery (that would recharged) health, conversion factor, etc. madameng factors na nakakaaffect ng efficiency. low quality to average quality powerbanks would give you 60-80% na efficiency. No machine is 100% accurate, go for a high quality, branded powerbanks if you want higher efficiency.
