![]() ![]() This is a truly premium device with a colossal 10-year warranty going a long way to account for its higher asking price. The additional cable means it’s now suited to Android as well as iPhone users, although as before this is Made For iPhone-certified. IonGo 5K before it, but here with both USB-C and Lightning cables built-in (hence the name Duo), the Moshi is an undeniably cool-looking power bank that comes tucked away inside a vegan-friendly soft leather case with a magnetic clasp and an anodised aluminium faceplate. It’s expensive, but you’ll pay out for the IonGo 5K Duo from Moshi if style is as important to you as is functionality. If all you need is a healthy stream of power to keep topped up a number of mobile devices, this JIGA power bank will be a very handy device to have around. This isn’t the Power Delivery speeds we’re becoming increasingly familiar with today, but it’s plenty fast for charging a phone (or multiple phones). It’s a shame that the USB-C port doesn’t also work as an output, but there are three full-size USB-A outputs, each rated at 10.5W. The JIGA has USB-C, Micro-USB and Lightning inputs, allowing you to fill its battery using whatever cable you have to hand. It’s surprisingly small for such a high-capacity bank, but it’s more bag- rather than pocket-friendly. While it’s something of a throwback to power banks from a couple of years back, with its built-in LED flash (certainly useful for camping trips) and durable but plasticky design, it also takes us back to the days where you didn’t have to sacrifice ports for portability. ![]() JIGA is a new name to us in terms of power bank tech, but its 30,000mAh power bank is interesting for a number of reasons – and not least the huge capacity, which will be some comfort on trips away from mains power. The SuperMini Go is available now for backers on IndieGoGo with discounted launch pricing from $44 (down from an official price of $69), but with Zendure’s track record it’s very likely this will be in stores including Amazon before long. The total capacity is 10,000mAh, and in addition to 15W wireless charging (with a magnet to keep phones steady) there’s 20W USB-C charging and 22.5W USB-A charging.Ĭompatibility is impressive too – not only will this work with both iOS and Android devices, but the ‘X-Charge’ mode is capable of topping up lower power devices like wearables and headphones, which not all power banks support. The SuperMini Go isn’t all about looks though, and it has some solid specs to match. It’s available in silver and black finishes, along with our more out there ‘Sunset Cyan’ gradient. Instead of a viewfinder, there’s a rear LCD display to show battery percentage – though be warned that this is quite dim and hard to read. Zendure’s design is inspired by classic cameras, which is if nothing else a fun way to incorporate the large ring required for wireless charging – which here sits right where a camera lens would be. The Zendure SuperMini Go is something a little different: a power bank that tries very hard not to look like one. It weighs in at 228g, which you may decide is better suited to a bag than your pocket.Ĭharmast supplies a soft mesh carry case and a short USB-A to USB-C cable in the box, a nice touch. This Charmast is roughly the same width as a phone, but a little shorter and a fair bit chunkier. The downside of the design is that it’s a bit bigger than many of the super-slim, similar-capacity models on the market. It will charge in about 3.5 hours with a Quick Charge/PD adapter, but about 5.5 hours with a standard 10W charger. On the side is an additional Quick Charge 2.0-compatible Micro-USB, which can also be used for charging the bank. There are two full-size USBs, plus a USB-C PD port that can act as both input and output, and all three support 18W Quick Charge – although only one at a time. The power bank also has three outputs, which will come in handy if you have multiple devices to charge. There was a time when power banks with LCD displays were rather expensive, but prices have now come down as the screens filter through to even affordable models like this. ![]()
