Plug in, powers up in a few hours with display to show progress. Charges other devices quickly shows charge remaining. Bought for backup in case of power cuts. Quality produc
Bought to use with new iPad Pro. Charged it fully and quickly. Only problem to do so used almost half its power so not sure it could cope with charging multiple devices at once.
First time I’ve owned one of these. But impressed. Charges phone and tablet at the same time if required. Slightly heavier than I’d envisaged but if you’re on a long holiday and bags are stowed, no problem. I tend to use it at home more than the power points as its more convenient.
I bought this and an Anker battery from Amazon. The Anker can be left without use for say 2 weeks and it still has 100% battery. This unit looses charge every day even when not in use. It depletes itself to zero. I wonder if it is something to do with the display, even though it turns off when not In use. I wouldn’t buy again, go for the Anker unit
*Edit* Added another two stars due to the excellent customer support. They contacted me and said the unit was faulty and replaced it. The new unit is not loosing power!
If you read the positive review about this product then believe what you read and heard is indeed true- go buy it- you won’t regret it. I am happy owner and I strongly recommend this product.
Fast charge from all ports. However if more than 1 device is connected this negates the fast charge but a small inconvenience when able to charge multiple devices at once.
INUI have replaced my power bank. Excellent customer service anyone in doubt about after sale customer service be assured you’re in good hands very pleased with power bank and excellent customer service.
I have had my fair share of powerbanks, but this is by far the best. It’s actually 20000mAh unlike some others that claim to be, its really sturdy and due to an accident, I have found it to be robust. And by accident, i mean i nudged it out of my first floor window onto concrete…oops. Checking it has some scratches on the casing, but still is working as normal!!! Would i recommend it, well lets just say i’m buying a second (can’t now have too many decent powerbanks) and i’ve told friends, who also have stated how good it is. It does everything it states, and in my opinion….Worth every penny!!!
I’m a truck driver and bought this to run various items in the cab, when the 12 volt charging port has ceased to work.
Managed to get a few shifts done with no need to recharge as this unit takes a while to discharge with the items I run off it.
Highly recommended item.
The battery life is incredible. It charges my Samsung 21 ultra from 0% 4 times. I never touched the battery bank for 6 months and it never lost any of its power at all. I am amazed with this product!
It’s sturdy, holds a LOT of power, you can charge more than one phone at a time and it lasts for ages!!! It’s pretty heavy, but you’d expect it to be since it’s so powerful. Had it a few weeks now and only charged it up once so fa
I bought two power banks for my hols. This one which is smaller and lighter for carrying on trips out, the other for days out. This was the smaller one. I’m very impressed with its charging power, battery life feature is reliable and speed of charging is very good. Highly recommended
Honestly beat my expectations. The build quality is really good, the LED display works well and is bright enough to see it in even sunny conditions. It has a torch which although abit of a gimmick, a nice feature. And it does support fast charging which is pretty reliable, very happy overall.
The first one I got stopped charging I got in touch with them and they were great, they sent out a replacement straight away which is working great I will definitely be buying another in the next few months. Good company good produc
Bought to replace a ~10 year old 10Ah pack that was finally starting to lose capacity. This pack is less than double the weight for twice the capacity whilst also including USB C and a useful digital display. Looks smart, feels nice in the hand and arrived well packaged.
Perfect, I love this! It goes most places with me if I’m out for the day. It fits in my clutch bag, comes with a handy bag to keep it all in one place, got a torch on it, a USB to C wire. Would definitely recommend it.
This portable charger meant the world to me. It was long lasting, easily portable, and even had a lovely screen displaying the amount of charge it had. Sadly, somewhere down the line I have lost it. But I will never forget the service it offered me during its tragically short life span. So long INIU Power Bank 22.5W Fast Charging 🙁
Great for charging on the move. It’s not a particularly fast charger, but it’s own battery lasts a long time and provides more than one charge (up to three plus charges of my S21 Ultra). So impressed I bought another for my kids and would recommend.
Best purchase for my recent travels with great battery life. The only downfall is that it takes quite a long time to charge the powerbank up to 100% usually about a day or so. When it is fully charged however it is extremely efficient and it lasts. I would recommend this produc
After first full charge I’m charged Samsung S21 4 times from 10% to 100% plus some usage while charging and 12% still left in the powerbank. I think it’s a good results. So far happy after first week. I will update review if anything goes wrong in a future.
The battery capacity is great and easily charges my phone from dead to 100% 4-5 times from one charge. The fast charging capabilities are also very good and works with both android and apple products. The only downside i can think of is it takes alot of time to charge the powerbank itself. I think the next improvement should be supporting a higher wattage supply to charge the powerbank i.e. 60-100 watt input would drastically reduce charge time. All in all though a great product.
Brilliant power bank for the price. Not big enough to be a pain to carry or use and not small enough to be fragile. Solid bit of kit for the price! Comes with a padded carry case and a USB to C charger cable which is also super fast charging (charges my P30 Pro in 50 minutes to 100%). Easily worth the money and looks good too
I bought this battery after a long hunt to find a better pack for my wireless vive pro setup and so far I’ve not encountered a single issue with the battery. Can’t speak for normal uses but for those looking for a vive battery this is compact and high enough capacity to comfortably do 5+ hour dance events in VR without having to worry about charge.
A friend had this and thought it was great so I bought it for myself. It charges a phone 4 times full or two phones at the same time then another two items. Was brilliant. From an empty phone it gave a speedy charge for a few minutes to 50 % and then the next 50% charge is slower but still quicker than a mains charge. Brilliant and well recommend
Not had it long. So far, so good. Its just had its first major usage at a festival and it handled it well. Got it down to 5% and it charged my energy hungry phone a few times
but when putting back on to charge it immediately jumped to 49% from 5, not sure what that means, but so far, so good
I purchased my first powerbank and was over the moon with it.I used it a lot and it never let me down.I started having an issue with charging and left a review.The next day it had been noticed by iniu customer services.They apologised and offered to send me a new one.I was going on holiday and worried about it being delivered and me not being able to take delivery.They then went out of their way to send it next day delivery as to ensure i could take it on holiday with me.This is the very best customer service i have ever had from a company.It totally blew me away.I cant recommend iniu products or their amazing customer service highly enough.Buy with complete peace of mind .This powerbank lasts so well.I often take it out for full days fishing,charging my phone (for the radio) ,charging my vape and my partners phone.It never seems to run out .
A great portable charger – but heavier then i expected
I had their 10000mah one (old and new design) my phone is 5000mah so i expect to charge twice on them ones and 4 times on this one..
HOWEVER i feel its not true size.. after 3 charges this is flat– (and 1 and half on the lower mah ones)
so its great value and works well for samsung fast charging etc – but i would say this is more 15000 not 20000 – but works for couple days – just not in your pocket as its quite heavy.
One of the main selling points for me was the power indicator, allowing me to know how much charged I have left.
I have just been on a long flight to America and was able to take it through security and on the flight with no problems. The charger allowed me to keep my phone alive all the way to my destination =-)
Used for Leeds Fest and stayed Thursday night through to early hours of Monday morning, went with 100% charge on my phone and the portable charger. The first time I used it was Friday afternoon/ evening and again later that night/ the next morning. Used about 3-4 times after that and left the festival with the charger on 36%. I will say that due to the lack of service there I used my phone significantly less than I usually would and only really charged my phone when it was getting low but would definitely recommend if you’re going to a festival or anywhere with no access to charging ports from a prolonged period of time! 🙂
Went to a festival, charged/powered various items over the weekend and came back with power to spare. Power indicator really useful, charges very quickly, feels satisfyingly heavy and solid with rubberised finish.
This is the second powerbank I have purchased from INIU. It does at least 4 full charges of an iphone and is well made and easy to operate. Built in torch is a bonus for any festival goers. You won’t be disappointed, this is a high quality charging device.
his power bank is beautiful made out of great quality and the style of the black on is amazingg, I absolutely love the power bank.
only the little downside would probably be the weight of the power bank as it is a little heavy but overall I really do recommend this produc
All good and charges my S21 from zero to 100 percent in less than one hour. Only slight issue is the weight. It is a heavy block of a charger and not something to slip into a pocket.
Yes it’s quite chunky and takes a while to charge up itself but that’s because you’re getting a 20,000mAh pack.
Look beyond that and you get a great power bank that’s very good value. It’s kept our three Samsung phones topped up all day and still had bags of power left in it.
The percentage display is very handy too.
The only reason that this gets 4 stars rather than 5 is that the cable it came supplied with snapped on the second use. Fortunately we had a spare with us that day.
I bought this in time for an overseas trip where I knew I would be out and mobile practically the whole day and evening with little chance to re-charge the power bank, which means the only chance for that is overnight. The recharging is not swift as already reported by others, but once that done, I have used the charging continuously 4 to 5 hours a time with no problem. The good thing about multiple charging – and the device itself being recharged simultaneously – is an excellent feature. Also, to charge devices, plugging the cable to the bank, and the other end to the devices (phone etc) will initiate the charging, without having to “turn it on”. On fully charged, I have used it down to about 40% on the most demanding day. Most days it was about 70% left at the end of the day.
This is a replacement unit that was sent as my original stopped working a few months after receiving it. So far it is working great.
I am glad that the company did contact me and did finally replace my unit just wish they had a better process as I was no able to contact the company directly and was only able to get the item replaced after leaving a negitive comment.
The charger is really good, it seems to last a fair amount of time, it’s handy that you can see how much % is left on it. My only negative is that when we first charged it, it was stuck on around 86% for hours to the point I thought it was broke but it up eventually
This power bank is an absolute beast! Was able to charge my power hungry S20FE (Exynos CPU) three times from 0 to 100%, still enough juice left to charge a 4000mah vape battery to about 70%.
The build quality is really good, feels solid and the rubberized texture gives it a nice touch.
I normally don’t leave reviews but this one deserve it, if you’re looking for a decent power bank with loads of capacity and charge speed this is the one!
It’s my second 20000mAh power bank, a bit bigger than the other one. Bought it for solar panels but doesn’t work with it, for some reason solar panels don’t charge it even the indicator flashes. Charging from wall charger works fine.
November 2022 update: after seeing my review, INIU sent me a replacement battery back which is working well so far.
I bought this power bank in May 2022 and it worked quite well. It has good battery life and is light enough to travel with. However after just 3 months, the battery pack stopped working. Even when it is fully charged, it doesn’t charge anything. I’ve tried it on multiple devices using multiple cables to ensure that it was not my devices fault.
Product would be 4/5 stars if it weren’t for this issue
I am really impressed by this company, I had one previously which was great then I ordered one for my Grandaughter but it was faulty so I threw it away. A while later the company emailed asking what I thought of the charger so I told them in no uncertain words that I was pretty unhappy. They immediately sent me a new charger which worked perfectly at no cost. I was so impressed that I ordered another one to take on holiday ‘just in case’ it is brilliant!
I have so many problems with my Pixel 6 that I am starting to wonder if I actually have a broken phone. Anyway, the first issue I had with the Pixel 6 was that I couldn’t charge it with any existing charger (unlike every other phone), and plugging it into the PC said was charging but no charge ever occurred. It also has a terrible battery so it is quite frequently useless!
This power bank changes that slightly. I can now charge the phone, and charge it multiple times. I can use the phone as a GPS and not run out of power half way.
The power bank’s power level display is maybe a bit too big and overdone, but it is very useful!
I don’t want to say this is waterproof but it survived sitting in a puddle in my tent when it collapsed on itself and let an absolute storm in.
The fact it didn’t break after being sat in a puddle for over an hour is great, I thought it was done for, for sure. However I was pleasantly surprised when it lit up and carried on working!
This takes a while to charge using my S22 ultra phone charger (USB-C) but it holds its charge very VERY well. I used this whilst camping to charge my phone twice and my e-cig about 10 times. it charges my phone from dead to full (when completely dead and not power on until fully charged) in just over an hour which I haven’t seen from a portable charger of this price before.
The flashlight built in isn’t very bright but I was surprised how useful it actually is.
The % display is useful as well to know exactly how much juice you’ve got left.
3 outputs, 2 USB 3 ports (the blue ones) and one USB-C which is both an input and an output.
Will definitely buy another if I lose/break this one, wont be using any others in the future.
This is my first purchase of a power bank and I am very impressed with just how much charging capacity this holds and how quickly it recharges my devices. I have had 3 of my devices all charging at once, and even more impressed how quickly it does charge all 3. I would certainly recommend this device to anyone thinking of purchasing a power bank.
This little but mighty power bank keeps both our phones topped up on days out, even with the added drain from kids
Even without the kids watching videos our iphone se’s batteries only manage to the early evening.
This battery charger prooved to be very useful on a trip to disneyland, where you have the disney app open all day checking ride queues, e-tickets, apple payments etc.
We charged an iphone se from 20% to 80% via usb-c in the time we queued for a ride (around 30min).
It only used about 8% from the power bank if i recall.
It certainly has enough to keep our 2 phones charged for a few days.
Now, I can confidently say this powerbank is a tank. It charges everything I throw at it with the maximum possible charging speed, very close to the rated 22.5W. I have both Samsung devices and Xiaomi devices. This turbo-charges my Xiaomi at 22.2W. It doesn’t end here. I used my Fnb48 to measure the battery drain from 100% to 0%. I got a total of 69.4919Wh. For a device rated at 74Wh, this equals to 93.91 efficiency. Most other powerbanks out there have over-stated capacities. That’s not the case with this one from the results above. I highly recommend this powerbank.
A powerful handy charger. Amazing battery output just like charging your phone from a mains. my samsung recogises it as being an ultra fast charge which is great. I charged a strangers phone after her phone died at a party for only 6 min (i timed it) she went from 0 to 11%
Although its a bit heavy – best portable charger ive ever bought also comes with a torch built in – although i havent used i
My first time purchase of a power bank and I was very impressed with how much charging capacity this holds and how quickly it recharges my devices. After a few weeks I was then disappointed that there seemed to be a software fault – the power bank continues to charge devices, but the digital display doesn’t show how much battery life is left. I contacted customer service team for the product and they were very friendly and helpful… they quickly sent out a replacement under warranty and in fact sent me two replacements by mistake, but then were happy for me to keep the additional one as a gift! Superb customer service.
I bought this to go on holiday as it would charge several devices. However, the model I received was not the one advertised (an older model). I therefore sent it back (be aware returning lithium battery products is not straight forward). I received a refund without any problems. A couple of months later the supplier offered a complimentary new one to try. This was the newer model and works well. It charges my phone quickly and due to the large capacity battery can charge several devices. It is a heavy and bulky device, so not one to simply slip in your pocket, but that is to be expected due to its large capacity. Had I received this model originally I would have kept it and been pleased with it. Overall, the replacement does the job well, providing you are OK with the weight and size. I do like the display showing the percentage charge for the Powerbank and also the torch/flashlight as well. I would have given it 5 stars if it was not for the fact that I had to return the original one I was sent.
The USB/PD is in fact just 18W, and I was not able to charge my laptop with it, it was telling me that the power was not enough and had to return it. It needs 25W charger, I was assuming that 22.5W would be on the edge, but the real 18W was too low.
— UPDATE
I have just received a few days ago a completely different model from INUI through Customer Support (Karlin) after checking my reply above.
I have found it here: INUI BI-B63 https://www.amazon.com/INIU-Charging-25000mAh-Ultimate-Compatible/dp/B08VDJP7WN (Currently unavailable)
This is a completely different beast at the same level than the Anker PowerCore III 60W that I have, and it is even better if you are only using the 65W output charging the laptops.
I had tested it with a Fujitsu Laptop and it recharges at 15v x 3A / 45Wh (max allowed by the laptop). From 30% to 70% in 20 mins (powered on but not used). It was also able to recharge (not so fast) my macbook pro 16 (intel) while I was working with it, by chance using also an INIU 100W cable: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08J41QTNN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The powerbank has and indicator (small thunder) on the display when the charge/recharge is “fast charging”
Using an older Samsung Galaxy 9 for charging, I went from 12% to 78% in an hour – an increase of 66% in an hour – so more than 1% phone battery increase per minute. During this time the charger itself decreased around 12%.
Slightly heavy but same weight as all the others I’ve had. Fine for my handbag, backpack or laptop case.
The powerbank is easy to charge, charges tablet even when watching it. Works wonderful to charge off our solar panel.
Only small moan is the charging cable is very short, but we’ve worked around that. All in all a great powerbank.
Best charger puts Xiaomi pick x3 NFC into mi turbo charge mode ! As powerful as the plug in charger when connected via 100w c cable ! (I would buy the 45w version as this version doesn’t have the very handy phone clip to hold your phone) ! That’s my only critism 🙂
We have bought it 2 weeks ago, husband extremely happy with his new “toy”.
This Power bank charges extremely fast and lasts for a few chargings.
We only had an issue when the light came on and we didn’t know how to switch it off.
The seller replied very quickly. We just needed to press the switch twice in once…. problem solved !!!
I will write an update if anything changes but so far, so extremely GOOD !!!!
I bought this for my husband who loves gadgets. He has said that he is very impressed with the power, length of charge etc. It can actually charge three things at once. For the price it is very good quality
So far very impressed, charges my S10 really quickly and multiple times. I like the LED battery percentage display, far better than a few vague LED lights.
Also the handy little light was a bonus I didn’t know I was getting…handy for camping
A great power bank, not the cheapest but I reccon it’s the best out there, I can charge my phone from 0 – 100% at least 9 times. A real quality power bank (and I’ve had lots of rubbish one’s over the years. Highly recommended.
My brother-in-law recommended me to buy this product, really quick in charging up my phone but find it heavy to travel with in my handbag, so only take it with me if I am travelling on a far journey. This is the best power bank I have invested in all the others have not been that grea
I have a Samsung galaxy s22 ultra it takes a good few hours on a normal charge and to be honest with heavy use does not last the day so I needed a decent portable charger. I have read many reviews and thought I would need to spend a fair bit for a halfway decent one.
However this charger was very well priced and since arriving,straight from box it had 77% charge already and I have charged my phone twice already and with the cable it came with it has also fast charged!!!
Very very happy with this purchase
Received power bank yesterday 12 April 22. It arrived sealed and well packaged. Mine arrived dead, 0%. After reading other reviews people got theirs with at least 80% battery.
So put it on to charge which took 10 hours.
Charging my phone today as had 10% battery on my phone. It took 2hrs 15 mins to charge my phone to 100%.
Power bank still has 79% battery left.
So far so good.
I have had many power banks, my recent one was a Juice one which would charge your phone but then when the power bank got to 56% it dropped to 0%. So that got returned.
Hoping this one doesn’t do the same.
Will update review if there are any faults but so far so good. Only con is, it is quite a heavy device.
UPDATE: 17 April 22. This power bank is actually very very good. It didn’t drop any power. I managed to charge up my iphone12 pro 3 times and an ipad mini once in one power charge with still 6% left in the power bank.
I think this is one of the best power banks I’ve ever had, apart from the heaviness it’s a great product.
15 May 22. Ok so far so good, only bad point is I can’t charge on the go, power bank has to be stable on a table in order to charge properly. I’ve taken it out in my bag a few times to charge on the go and it just switches off. So I probably need to find a lighter and more smaller one to be on the go. But overall it’s a good power bank and battery stays in the power bank even after not being used for a week or 2.
Update review:
Contacted INIU support who were responsive and proactive. In no time at all they arranged delivery of a replacement unit.
It works exceptionally well so far and charges in about 6 hours with a fast charger. The replacement unit now charges an iPhone quickly and handles multiple devices.
I will update on longer term performance.
Original review:
Initial impressions are extremely disappointing.
The INIU BI-B5 power bank delivered product was not the new updated 2022 version with a 22.5W output as advertised. , Me and few others have received 2021 version with 20W output.
To then make matters worse after a long time charging the output is not as advertised. It is probably more like 10000mAh.
I will update if there are any changes. Currently I would advised you to save your money and purchase another power bank that delivers what is promised.
Only used the power bank as my secondary charging option I’ve noticed one of my ports has stopped working with light usage.
Edit: the company has kindly reached out to me and sent me a free replacement. Thank you very much.
This has by far met my expectations, the speed in which it charges is phenomenal I get at least several charges from it and it keeps going on and on it recharges quick which is one of it great selling points and light enough to carry around.
Firstly, warranty extension is needed for purchases on Amazon. You need to know this. It is an easy process to set up. In your internet search engine type in extended warranty for INIU products and a box will appear. You just put your name and amazon order number in and the extended warranty is complete.
The product arrived and had no charge. The first charge did take a long time, but I expected that as it was new. I have tested the product and to charge up my fitbit Verse 3, from zero, only 1% of the INIU battery life was used. To charge an S9, having just 15% battery life left, used 11% of the INIU battery. This will give youvan idea of how many charges you can get out of a full charge. The unit comes with a padded storage bag which protects the unit well. Charging leads and battery have plenty of room. The unit itself is heavier than others, which once again, for the size, I also expected. Showing the batterage life left in the unit, as a percentage is a huge plus. It gives a more accurate measure of what battery life is left and how much you use for different gadgets. More accurate than a lit bar. I am now looking at purchasing the Mini charger to use on smaller journeys.
Seems to charge and be charged pretty quickly. A good size for carrying and robust. Good indication of charge level. Rather it did not have the light but that is personal preference.
Would recommend and it has now become the preferred chargebank to take away.
Feels like great quality, looks great and feels tactile.
Comes with 12″ USB-A to USB-C charging lead AND it comes with a fantastic little USB LED TORCH that will come in VERY handy..
Overall very pleased so far.
Well done INUI…
I can’t fault this thing. It gives you 4 charges on a semi-decent smartphone (at least if you don’t charge from much lower than 15% – even then 3.75 charges is pretty good going). Did me wonders camping at a festival and even comes with a handy light. Having 2 USB outs so you can charge 2 phones at once is a nice touch too. I’ve only had this for 6-7 months so I don’t know how it’ll hold up X many years down the line but you could do a lot worse at this price.
I already have 3 of these brick chargers for when we go camping, but they have a slow output so I wanted this for fast charging. It does that very well and I charged my Samsung phone twice and my ipad once before it ran out of battery.
The little USB light attachment that comes with it was a nice touch and made a great bedside lamp when I visited a relative (although I have misplaced it as it is so small). The built in torch would also come in handy. It also has a lovely smooth exterior that’s nice to hold, and a decent pouch to keep it in. I’ve already managed to drop it twice in the first week but thankfully it seems pretty resilient!
It’s pretty heavy so you wouldn’t want to carry it round in a handbag every day ‘just in case’ but I have a small charger for that, and it is a decent compact size for the capacity. I tend to use this most sitting on the sofa where I’m out of reach of a plug but my phone is running down, and it will be great for longer trips away from home.
We have 4 different power banks from small trouser pocket sized ones to larger Multi charge, multi connection units and I honestly have to say that so far (after a month) this is the best. It charges my Iphone at least 7 times and sometimes even more, it charges multiple units and the digital charge display is really handy. it also came with a bag to carry it in. Downsides, as you would expect from a larger battery it does take a while to charge up. I put it on charge last night and it was at 57% this morning. So if you are going away or on a trip make sure you put it on charge with plenty of time! It’s not really pocket size as its too thick and heavy. But these are being picky. I really do rate it and would recommend it.
I was suprised by the weight of the charger as it was heavier than I expected. However when I checked back on the weight stated it was ok. It appears to be very efficient. So far I have only used it a couple of times but it charged my phone from under 50% to 100% in about 35 minutes. If this continues I will be very pleased.
INIU customer service is outstanding and I would recommend their products.
The only downside with the model BI-B5 is that “fast charging mode can not be activated when charging multiple devices simultaneously” – as you can read in the manual. But apart from that it is a great power bank to have at home for all occasions.
Because of this issue, the customer service offered me another model (BI-B62) and I received it the next day.
INIU Power bank BI-B62 is an excellent product. Feels and looks premium. It is sturdy and efficient, a perfect device to fast charge your mobile and all your gadgets. It does what it says in the advertisement and even the flash light is stronger in comparison to the other model. If this review was about the model BI-B62 I would definitely give it 5 stars!
I’ve only used this a handful of times but already the charge drops from 40% remaining to zero in a matter of seconds. You only get 60% charge out of this, buyer beware.
UPDATE
After reading my review the company sent me a new product. I have used it half a dozen times now and all is well. The only question now is will it stand the test of time. I will use it regularly for a month and then post the results.
UPDATE 2
I’ve been using this replacement regularly for around a month now and am happy to report that everything is hunky dory.
I received my power bank and to my disappointment the display was faulty and it wasn’t displaying the power percentage as it should.
I contacted Amazon to ask for replacement I was told to return it and I have to pay for the postage when it is faulty in the first place.
To update:
I got contacted by INIU who they apologised for the inconvenience and offered to send me a replacement. I did receive the replacement and it work perfectly. Thank you for your excellent customer service
Use my mobile phone to connect my I pad and tv on line a lot. Can recharge my mobile more than four times without any problems you can also recharge the power bank while it’s recharging your phone ie overnight. My mobile phone is due for a replacement battery and loses it charge quite quickly the power bank is a life saver would highly recommend. *****
UPDATE:
Having being contacted about my faulty product they promptly sent me a replacement. Great customer service that a lot of companies can learn by. Thank you Nicole from Iniu.
had mine for a while but dont use much..always stored as it should be..charged and discharged sensibly…however it only drains to 60% and then cuts out completely..completely dead, no ore power…should have 60% of its supposed 20,000 Mah battery power left. i suspect they arnt as advertised, or a cell inside has failed. will be using a better known brand for my next one.
The power bank itself is great. Takes a looooong time to fully charge and the torch is mediocre (you could have a touch with incredible lumens with that battery!) But it keeps my son’s phone charged so he doesn’t have the excuse of not phoning us when late from school…
Was so impressed with this battery pack. Charged 2 phones at the same time rather quickly and had lots of power left. Unfortunately, after being used a couple of times it stopped working and despite being charged would not charge the phone. I contacted their customer services who asked a few questions and immediately sent out a replacement which arrived the following day!
Hopefully this one lasts longer but I know customer services are great no matter what!
Unboxing this power bank was a delight. It’s really well-presented in its simple eco-friendly packaging with nice touches like end caps on the USB plugs. It’s a solid unit, reassuringly heavy with sturdy USB sockets. Even the snug-fitting carry-bag is robust enough to provide protection from knocks and scratches. In use it seems fine. Rapidly charging from my Moto adaptor and providing turbo power to my phone using my existing cables without any user intervention. Just plug in anything that needs charging, and it’ll automatically be done at its highest rate. Slow charging peripherals too.
I purchased this power bank for my other half, he loves it .Its well made ,charges at a rapid pace and comes with lead , two usb ports plus a usb light that you could use for a million purposes. The product can be registered very easily on there website to extend the warranty to 3 years . A you have to do is copy and paste your order number from Amazon website and enter it on the registration page along with your name etc, and bingo done . Brilliant quality ,pleased with it so much ordering another today .
If you need a power bank then this is the one for you.
Just received my INIU Power Bank I order yesterday and noticed the seal on the box was broken and on opening the box the Power Bank was half out of the wrapping (see photos).
It isn’t marked and seems to be working; it’s shows 80% charge, so I will charge it then fully test it.
So 3 Stars because of the condition it was received in, having paid fully price for a secondhand product. I’m also as yet unsure if it’s a returned faulty product that I’ve been sent.
I’ll amend this review in due course
UPDATE (22/12/21):-
I was contacted (completely unexpectedly) yesterday stating they wanted to send me a replacement, this was delivered today. It’s a 100% new unopened, sealed item (see additional photos).
Great customer service that other companies should be emulating.
Great Customer Service; Originally Received a used product, but….
When I first got this it was on about 80% charged and 2 weeks later it’s on 71% (but I’ve only charged a watch every 2 days which takes 1 hours). When I opened it the torch was on in the box but I just turned that off.
One of the USB ports doesn’t seem to keep whatever is plugged in charging for some reason and will only start to charge if I press the on button but stops charging when the percentage light goes off.
It does charge things quickly though. Bit heavier than I expected but is fine for travelling. Also came with a strange plug in light which is quite bright but haven’t found a use for it yet. I recommend getting this. The battery percentage is really helpful!
When I first held the INIU POWER BANK my first impressions were that it was heavier than I had anticipated.
But it is a powerful unit and with it must come weight. It is a really well built unit and looks and feels great in the hand.
For me it is ideal. When my wife and I go on holiday we take two IPhones and two IPads and consequently we often find either a lack of power plugs in hotel rooms meaning you have to disconnect a kettle to charge the above. Plus because the IPhones and IPads have a mix of lightning and usb-c connections we also have to haul a selection of chargers and leads. Now we will not need to worry about the number of plugs in the room. Just the INIU power bank placed anywhere in the room. For that reason alone I think it will prove to have been a good buy.
The other thing I like is the fact that you can charge almost anything. See my photo above of me charging my electronic candle lighter. I am already finding the power bank very useful at home.
Early days but I think I will be glad I purchased the INIU power bank.
Bought this as a replacement for an older portable charger. The USB C port is up to date for most goods now and I was using it to keep a charge on an old IPad, which was constantly losing charge. Used it on a 4.5hrs flight and only used 16% to keep the IPad charged. Would recommend.
Plug in, powers up in a few hours with display to show progress. Charges other devices quickly shows charge remaining. Bought for backup in case of power cuts. Quality produc
Bought to use with new iPad Pro. Charged it fully and quickly. Only problem to do so used almost half its power so not sure it could cope with charging multiple devices at once.
First time I’ve owned one of these. But impressed. Charges phone and tablet at the same time if required. Slightly heavier than I’d envisaged but if you’re on a long holiday and bags are stowed, no problem. I tend to use it at home more than the power points as its more convenient.
A little bit bulky but holds its charge really well and I can recharge my phone multiple times because of that.
*Edit* Added another two stars due to the excellent customer support. They contacted me and said the unit was faulty and replaced it. The new unit is not loosing power!
If you read the positive review about this product then believe what you read and heard is indeed true- go buy it- you won’t regret it. I am happy owner and I strongly recommend this product.
Fast charging. Can charge 2 phones at once. Will FULLY CHARGE phone twice before the pack needs recharging
Brilliant product for our recent cruise. Seems to charge our iPhones quicker than back home? Great bit of kit.
0% to 100% took 14754mAh. It is enough to get a few phone charges from so serves its purpose.
Fast charge from all ports. However if more than 1 device is connected this negates the fast charge but a small inconvenience when able to charge multiple devices at once.
Standard power bank, ideal for kids devices on long journeys
It was to charge my mobile phone up as a go on long walks
INUI have replaced my power bank. Excellent customer service anyone in doubt about after sale customer service be assured you’re in good hands very pleased with power bank and excellent customer service.
Looks to be well made works ok torch could be brighter and it’s a bit heavy
Fab little battery pack, 2 nights away it did my phone and watch and had a bit of charge left to spare.
I brought this product for when I’m travelling and I don’t want to runout of charging my phone.
This powerbank is excellent at doing its job and quickly charges my device several times (currently using a Huawei p20 lite)
I bought this, there was a better price offer as well. I have been using it for few months and it has been a great product. I recommend this purchase.
Ideal fast charging power and normal charging port, comes with a little sack for keeping it getting damaged too, really good and prompt delivery.
Overall great device, but screen broken after one week, do not display but it still charge
Managed to get a few shifts done with no need to recharge as this unit takes a while to discharge with the items I run off it.
Highly recommended item.
This charger is good for the money paid. It has fast charging and is a convenient size for on the go.
The battery life is incredible. It charges my Samsung 21 ultra from 0% 4 times. I never touched the battery bank for 6 months and it never lost any of its power at all. I am amazed with this product!
It’s sturdy, holds a LOT of power, you can charge more than one phone at a time and it lasts for ages!!! It’s pretty heavy, but you’d expect it to be since it’s so powerful. Had it a few weeks now and only charged it up once so fa
I bought two power banks for my hols. This one which is smaller and lighter for carrying on trips out, the other for days out. This was the smaller one. I’m very impressed with its charging power, battery life feature is reliable and speed of charging is very good. Highly recommended
Honestly beat my expectations. The build quality is really good, the LED display works well and is bright enough to see it in even sunny conditions. It has a torch which although abit of a gimmick, a nice feature. And it does support fast charging which is pretty reliable, very happy overall.
The first one I got stopped charging I got in touch with them and they were great, they sent out a replacement straight away which is working great I will definitely be buying another in the next few months. Good company good produc
Bought to replace a ~10 year old 10Ah pack that was finally starting to lose capacity. This pack is less than double the weight for twice the capacity whilst also including USB C and a useful digital display. Looks smart, feels nice in the hand and arrived well packaged.
I’ve only used it a couple of times because I went to Creamfields But it seems dece
Perfect, I love this! It goes most places with me if I’m out for the day. It fits in my clutch bag, comes with a handy bag to keep it all in one place, got a torch on it, a USB to C wire. Would definitely recommend it.
This portable charger meant the world to me. It was long lasting, easily portable, and even had a lovely screen displaying the amount of charge it had. Sadly, somewhere down the line I have lost it. But I will never forget the service it offered me during its tragically short life span. So long INIU Power Bank 22.5W Fast Charging 🙁
For a battery of this large capacity and quite high weight, it seems a pity you can only charge two devices while charging.
Great for charging on the move. It’s not a particularly fast charger, but it’s own battery lasts a long time and provides more than one charge (up to three plus charges of my S21 Ultra). So impressed I bought another for my kids and would recommend.
Best purchase for my recent travels with great battery life. The only downfall is that it takes quite a long time to charge the powerbank up to 100% usually about a day or so. When it is fully charged however it is extremely efficient and it lasts. I would recommend this produc
After first full charge I’m charged Samsung S21 4 times from 10% to 100% plus some usage while charging and 12% still left in the powerbank. I think it’s a good results. So far happy after first week. I will update review if anything goes wrong in a future.
Arrived quickly. Used at a festival for 7 days. Charged the power pact twice to charge samsung s20 once a day. Solid and seems to be well built.
The battery capacity is great and easily charges my phone from dead to 100% 4-5 times from one charge. The fast charging capabilities are also very good and works with both android and apple products. The only downside i can think of is it takes alot of time to charge the powerbank itself. I think the next improvement should be supporting a higher wattage supply to charge the powerbank i.e. 60-100 watt input would drastically reduce charge time. All in all though a great product.
Brilliant power bank for the price. Not big enough to be a pain to carry or use and not small enough to be fragile. Solid bit of kit for the price! Comes with a padded carry case and a USB to C charger cable which is also super fast charging (charges my P30 Pro in 50 minutes to 100%). Easily worth the money and looks good too
I bought this battery after a long hunt to find a better pack for my wireless vive pro setup and so far I’ve not encountered a single issue with the battery. Can’t speak for normal uses but for those looking for a vive battery this is compact and high enough capacity to comfortably do 5+ hour dance events in VR without having to worry about charge.
A friend had this and thought it was great so I bought it for myself. It charges a phone 4 times full or two phones at the same time then another two items. Was brilliant. From an empty phone it gave a speedy charge for a few minutes to 50 % and then the next 50% charge is slower but still quicker than a mains charge. Brilliant and well recommend
Not had it long. So far, so good. Its just had its first major usage at a festival and it handled it well. Got it down to 5% and it charged my energy hungry phone a few times
but when putting back on to charge it immediately jumped to 49% from 5, not sure what that means, but so far, so good
I had their 10000mah one (old and new design) my phone is 5000mah so i expect to charge twice on them ones and 4 times on this one..
HOWEVER i feel its not true size.. after 3 charges this is flat– (and 1 and half on the lower mah ones)
so its great value and works well for samsung fast charging etc – but i would say this is more 15000 not 20000 – but works for couple days – just not in your pocket as its quite heavy.
One of the main selling points for me was the power indicator, allowing me to know how much charged I have left.
I have just been on a long flight to America and was able to take it through security and on the flight with no problems. The charger allowed me to keep my phone alive all the way to my destination =-)
Went to a festival, charged/powered various items over the weekend and came back with power to spare. Power indicator really useful, charges very quickly, feels satisfyingly heavy and solid with rubberised finish.
This is the second powerbank I have purchased from INIU. It does at least 4 full charges of an iphone and is well made and easy to operate. Built in torch is a bonus for any festival goers. You won’t be disappointed, this is a high quality charging device.
his power bank is beautiful made out of great quality and the style of the black on is amazingg, I absolutely love the power bank.
only the little downside would probably be the weight of the power bank as it is a little heavy but overall I really do recommend this produc
All good and charges my S21 from zero to 100 percent in less than one hour. Only slight issue is the weight. It is a heavy block of a charger and not something to slip into a pocket.
Yes it’s quite chunky and takes a while to charge up itself but that’s because you’re getting a 20,000mAh pack.
Look beyond that and you get a great power bank that’s very good value. It’s kept our three Samsung phones topped up all day and still had bags of power left in it.
The percentage display is very handy too.
The only reason that this gets 4 stars rather than 5 is that the cable it came supplied with snapped on the second use. Fortunately we had a spare with us that day.
I bought this in time for an overseas trip where I knew I would be out and mobile practically the whole day and evening with little chance to re-charge the power bank, which means the only chance for that is overnight. The recharging is not swift as already reported by others, but once that done, I have used the charging continuously 4 to 5 hours a time with no problem. The good thing about multiple charging – and the device itself being recharged simultaneously – is an excellent feature. Also, to charge devices, plugging the cable to the bank, and the other end to the devices (phone etc) will initiate the charging, without having to “turn it on”. On fully charged, I have used it down to about 40% on the most demanding day. Most days it was about 70% left at the end of the day.
This is a replacement unit that was sent as my original stopped working a few months after receiving it. So far it is working great.
I am glad that the company did contact me and did finally replace my unit just wish they had a better process as I was no able to contact the company directly and was only able to get the item replaced after leaving a negitive comment.
The charger is really good, it seems to last a fair amount of time, it’s handy that you can see how much % is left on it. My only negative is that when we first charged it, it was stuck on around 86% for hours to the point I thought it was broke but it up eventually
The build quality is really good, feels solid and the rubberized texture gives it a nice touch.
I normally don’t leave reviews but this one deserve it, if you’re looking for a decent power bank with loads of capacity and charge speed this is the one!
It’s my second 20000mAh power bank, a bit bigger than the other one. Bought it for solar panels but doesn’t work with it, for some reason solar panels don’t charge it even the indicator flashes. Charging from wall charger works fine.
I bought this power bank in May 2022 and it worked quite well. It has good battery life and is light enough to travel with. However after just 3 months, the battery pack stopped working. Even when it is fully charged, it doesn’t charge anything. I’ve tried it on multiple devices using multiple cables to ensure that it was not my devices fault.
Product would be 4/5 stars if it weren’t for this issue
I am really impressed by this company, I had one previously which was great then I ordered one for my Grandaughter but it was faulty so I threw it away. A while later the company emailed asking what I thought of the charger so I told them in no uncertain words that I was pretty unhappy. They immediately sent me a new charger which worked perfectly at no cost. I was so impressed that I ordered another one to take on holiday ‘just in case’ it is brilliant!
I have so many problems with my Pixel 6 that I am starting to wonder if I actually have a broken phone. Anyway, the first issue I had with the Pixel 6 was that I couldn’t charge it with any existing charger (unlike every other phone), and plugging it into the PC said was charging but no charge ever occurred. It also has a terrible battery so it is quite frequently useless!
This power bank changes that slightly. I can now charge the phone, and charge it multiple times. I can use the phone as a GPS and not run out of power half way.
The power bank’s power level display is maybe a bit too big and overdone, but it is very useful!
The fact it didn’t break after being sat in a puddle for over an hour is great, I thought it was done for, for sure. However I was pleasantly surprised when it lit up and carried on working!
This takes a while to charge using my S22 ultra phone charger (USB-C) but it holds its charge very VERY well. I used this whilst camping to charge my phone twice and my e-cig about 10 times. it charges my phone from dead to full (when completely dead and not power on until fully charged) in just over an hour which I haven’t seen from a portable charger of this price before.
The flashlight built in isn’t very bright but I was surprised how useful it actually is.
The % display is useful as well to know exactly how much juice you’ve got left.
3 outputs, 2 USB 3 ports (the blue ones) and one USB-C which is both an input and an output.
Will definitely buy another if I lose/break this one, wont be using any others in the future.
This is my first purchase of a power bank and I am very impressed with just how much charging capacity this holds and how quickly it recharges my devices. I have had 3 of my devices all charging at once, and even more impressed how quickly it does charge all 3. I would certainly recommend this device to anyone thinking of purchasing a power bank.
Even without the kids watching videos our iphone se’s batteries only manage to the early evening.
This battery charger prooved to be very useful on a trip to disneyland, where you have the disney app open all day checking ride queues, e-tickets, apple payments etc.
We charged an iphone se from 20% to 80% via usb-c in the time we queued for a ride (around 30min).
It only used about 8% from the power bank if i recall.
It certainly has enough to keep our 2 phones charged for a few days.
A powerful handy charger. Amazing battery output just like charging your phone from a mains. my samsung recogises it as being an ultra fast charge which is great. I charged a strangers phone after her phone died at a party for only 6 min (i timed it) she went from 0 to 11%
Although its a bit heavy – best portable charger ive ever bought also comes with a torch built in – although i havent used i
I bought this to go on holiday as it would charge several devices. However, the model I received was not the one advertised (an older model). I therefore sent it back (be aware returning lithium battery products is not straight forward). I received a refund without any problems. A couple of months later the supplier offered a complimentary new one to try. This was the newer model and works well. It charges my phone quickly and due to the large capacity battery can charge several devices. It is a heavy and bulky device, so not one to simply slip in your pocket, but that is to be expected due to its large capacity. Had I received this model originally I would have kept it and been pleased with it. Overall, the replacement does the job well, providing you are OK with the weight and size. I do like the display showing the percentage charge for the Powerbank and also the torch/flashlight as well. I would have given it 5 stars if it was not for the fact that I had to return the original one I was sent.
The USB/PD is in fact just 18W, and I was not able to charge my laptop with it, it was telling me that the power was not enough and had to return it. It needs 25W charger, I was assuming that 22.5W would be on the edge, but the real 18W was too low.
— UPDATE
I have just received a few days ago a completely different model from INUI through Customer Support (Karlin) after checking my reply above.
I have found it here: INUI BI-B63 https://www.amazon.com/INIU-Charging-25000mAh-Ultimate-Compatible/dp/B08VDJP7WN (Currently unavailable)
This is a completely different beast at the same level than the Anker PowerCore III 60W that I have, and it is even better if you are only using the 65W output charging the laptops.
I had tested it with a Fujitsu Laptop and it recharges at 15v x 3A / 45Wh (max allowed by the laptop). From 30% to 70% in 20 mins (powered on but not used). It was also able to recharge (not so fast) my macbook pro 16 (intel) while I was working with it, by chance using also an INIU 100W cable: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08J41QTNN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The powerbank has and indicator (small thunder) on the display when the charge/recharge is “fast charging”
This charger is way faster than my old one.
It arrived with 80% battery which was helpful.
Using an older Samsung Galaxy 9 for charging, I went from 12% to 78% in an hour – an increase of 66% in an hour – so more than 1% phone battery increase per minute. During this time the charger itself decreased around 12%.
Slightly heavy but same weight as all the others I’ve had. Fine for my handbag, backpack or laptop case.
The powerbank is easy to charge, charges tablet even when watching it. Works wonderful to charge off our solar panel.
Only small moan is the charging cable is very short, but we’ve worked around that. All in all a great powerbank.
Best charger puts Xiaomi pick x3 NFC into mi turbo charge mode ! As powerful as the plug in charger when connected via 100w c cable ! (I would buy the 45w version as this version doesn’t have the very handy phone clip to hold your phone) ! That’s my only critism 🙂
We have bought it 2 weeks ago, husband extremely happy with his new “toy”.
This Power bank charges extremely fast and lasts for a few chargings.
We only had an issue when the light came on and we didn’t know how to switch it off.
The seller replied very quickly. We just needed to press the switch twice in once…. problem solved !!!
I will write an update if anything changes but so far, so extremely GOOD !!!!
I bought this for my husband who loves gadgets. He has said that he is very impressed with the power, length of charge etc. It can actually charge three things at once. For the price it is very good quality
So far very impressed, charges my S10 really quickly and multiple times. I like the LED battery percentage display, far better than a few vague LED lights.
Also the handy little light was a bonus I didn’t know I was getting…handy for camping
A great power bank, not the cheapest but I reccon it’s the best out there, I can charge my phone from 0 – 100% at least 9 times. A real quality power bank (and I’ve had lots of rubbish one’s over the years. Highly recommended.
My brother-in-law recommended me to buy this product, really quick in charging up my phone but find it heavy to travel with in my handbag, so only take it with me if I am travelling on a far journey. This is the best power bank I have invested in all the others have not been that grea
I have a Samsung galaxy s22 ultra it takes a good few hours on a normal charge and to be honest with heavy use does not last the day so I needed a decent portable charger. I have read many reviews and thought I would need to spend a fair bit for a halfway decent one.
However this charger was very well priced and since arriving,straight from box it had 77% charge already and I have charged my phone twice already and with the cable it came with it has also fast charged!!!
Very very happy with this purchase
Received power bank yesterday 12 April 22. It arrived sealed and well packaged. Mine arrived dead, 0%. After reading other reviews people got theirs with at least 80% battery.
So put it on to charge which took 10 hours.
Charging my phone today as had 10% battery on my phone. It took 2hrs 15 mins to charge my phone to 100%.
Power bank still has 79% battery left.
So far so good.
I have had many power banks, my recent one was a Juice one which would charge your phone but then when the power bank got to 56% it dropped to 0%. So that got returned.
Hoping this one doesn’t do the same.
Will update review if there are any faults but so far so good. Only con is, it is quite a heavy device.
UPDATE: 17 April 22. This power bank is actually very very good. It didn’t drop any power. I managed to charge up my iphone12 pro 3 times and an ipad mini once in one power charge with still 6% left in the power bank.
I think this is one of the best power banks I’ve ever had, apart from the heaviness it’s a great product.
15 May 22. Ok so far so good, only bad point is I can’t charge on the go, power bank has to be stable on a table in order to charge properly. I’ve taken it out in my bag a few times to charge on the go and it just switches off. So I probably need to find a lighter and more smaller one to be on the go. But overall it’s a good power bank and battery stays in the power bank even after not being used for a week or 2.
Contacted INIU support who were responsive and proactive. In no time at all they arranged delivery of a replacement unit.
It works exceptionally well so far and charges in about 6 hours with a fast charger. The replacement unit now charges an iPhone quickly and handles multiple devices.
I will update on longer term performance.
Original review:
Initial impressions are extremely disappointing.
The INIU BI-B5 power bank delivered product was not the new updated 2022 version with a 22.5W output as advertised. , Me and few others have received 2021 version with 20W output.
To then make matters worse after a long time charging the output is not as advertised. It is probably more like 10000mAh.
I will update if there are any changes. Currently I would advised you to save your money and purchase another power bank that delivers what is promised.
Only used the power bank as my secondary charging option I’ve noticed one of my ports has stopped working with light usage.
Edit: the company has kindly reached out to me and sent me a free replacement. Thank you very much.
This has by far met my expectations, the speed in which it charges is phenomenal I get at least several charges from it and it keeps going on and on it recharges quick which is one of it great selling points and light enough to carry around.
Firstly, warranty extension is needed for purchases on Amazon. You need to know this. It is an easy process to set up. In your internet search engine type in extended warranty for INIU products and a box will appear. You just put your name and amazon order number in and the extended warranty is complete.
The product arrived and had no charge. The first charge did take a long time, but I expected that as it was new. I have tested the product and to charge up my fitbit Verse 3, from zero, only 1% of the INIU battery life was used. To charge an S9, having just 15% battery life left, used 11% of the INIU battery. This will give youvan idea of how many charges you can get out of a full charge. The unit comes with a padded storage bag which protects the unit well. Charging leads and battery have plenty of room. The unit itself is heavier than others, which once again, for the size, I also expected. Showing the batterage life left in the unit, as a percentage is a huge plus. It gives a more accurate measure of what battery life is left and how much you use for different gadgets. More accurate than a lit bar. I am now looking at purchasing the Mini charger to use on smaller journeys.
Seems to charge and be charged pretty quickly. A good size for carrying and robust. Good indication of charge level. Rather it did not have the light but that is personal preference.
Would recommend and it has now become the preferred chargebank to take away.
Feels like great quality, looks great and feels tactile.
Comes with 12″ USB-A to USB-C charging lead AND it comes with a fantastic little USB LED TORCH that will come in VERY handy..
Overall very pleased so far.
Well done INUI…
I can’t fault this thing. It gives you 4 charges on a semi-decent smartphone (at least if you don’t charge from much lower than 15% – even then 3.75 charges is pretty good going). Did me wonders camping at a festival and even comes with a handy light. Having 2 USB outs so you can charge 2 phones at once is a nice touch too. I’ve only had this for 6-7 months so I don’t know how it’ll hold up X many years down the line but you could do a lot worse at this price.
I already have 3 of these brick chargers for when we go camping, but they have a slow output so I wanted this for fast charging. It does that very well and I charged my Samsung phone twice and my ipad once before it ran out of battery.
The little USB light attachment that comes with it was a nice touch and made a great bedside lamp when I visited a relative (although I have misplaced it as it is so small). The built in torch would also come in handy. It also has a lovely smooth exterior that’s nice to hold, and a decent pouch to keep it in. I’ve already managed to drop it twice in the first week but thankfully it seems pretty resilient!
It’s pretty heavy so you wouldn’t want to carry it round in a handbag every day ‘just in case’ but I have a small charger for that, and it is a decent compact size for the capacity. I tend to use this most sitting on the sofa where I’m out of reach of a plug but my phone is running down, and it will be great for longer trips away from home.
We have 4 different power banks from small trouser pocket sized ones to larger Multi charge, multi connection units and I honestly have to say that so far (after a month) this is the best. It charges my Iphone at least 7 times and sometimes even more, it charges multiple units and the digital charge display is really handy. it also came with a bag to carry it in. Downsides, as you would expect from a larger battery it does take a while to charge up. I put it on charge last night and it was at 57% this morning. So if you are going away or on a trip make sure you put it on charge with plenty of time! It’s not really pocket size as its too thick and heavy. But these are being picky. I really do rate it and would recommend it.
I was suprised by the weight of the charger as it was heavier than I expected. However when I checked back on the weight stated it was ok. It appears to be very efficient. So far I have only used it a couple of times but it charged my phone from under 50% to 100% in about 35 minutes. If this continues I will be very pleased.
INIU customer service is outstanding and I would recommend their products.
The only downside with the model BI-B5 is that “fast charging mode can not be activated when charging multiple devices simultaneously” – as you can read in the manual. But apart from that it is a great power bank to have at home for all occasions.
Because of this issue, the customer service offered me another model (BI-B62) and I received it the next day.
INIU Power bank BI-B62 is an excellent product. Feels and looks premium. It is sturdy and efficient, a perfect device to fast charge your mobile and all your gadgets. It does what it says in the advertisement and even the flash light is stronger in comparison to the other model. If this review was about the model BI-B62 I would definitely give it 5 stars!
I’ve only used this a handful of times but already the charge drops from 40% remaining to zero in a matter of seconds. You only get 60% charge out of this, buyer beware.
UPDATE
After reading my review the company sent me a new product. I have used it half a dozen times now and all is well. The only question now is will it stand the test of time. I will use it regularly for a month and then post the results.
UPDATE 2
I’ve been using this replacement regularly for around a month now and am happy to report that everything is hunky dory.
I received my power bank and to my disappointment the display was faulty and it wasn’t displaying the power percentage as it should.
I contacted Amazon to ask for replacement I was told to return it and I have to pay for the postage when it is faulty in the first place.
To update:
I got contacted by INIU who they apologised for the inconvenience and offered to send me a replacement. I did receive the replacement and it work perfectly. Thank you for your excellent customer service
Use my mobile phone to connect my I pad and tv on line a lot. Can recharge my mobile more than four times without any problems you can also recharge the power bank while it’s recharging your phone ie overnight. My mobile phone is due for a replacement battery and loses it charge quite quickly the power bank is a life saver would highly recommend. *****
UPDATE:
Having being contacted about my faulty product they promptly sent me a replacement. Great customer service that a lot of companies can learn by. Thank you Nicole from Iniu.
had mine for a while but dont use much..always stored as it should be..charged and discharged sensibly…however it only drains to 60% and then cuts out completely..completely dead, no ore power…should have 60% of its supposed 20,000 Mah battery power left. i suspect they arnt as advertised, or a cell inside has failed. will be using a better known brand for my next one.
The power bank itself is great. Takes a looooong time to fully charge and the torch is mediocre (you could have a touch with incredible lumens with that battery!) But it keeps my son’s phone charged so he doesn’t have the excuse of not phoning us when late from school…
Was so impressed with this battery pack. Charged 2 phones at the same time rather quickly and had lots of power left. Unfortunately, after being used a couple of times it stopped working and despite being charged would not charge the phone. I contacted their customer services who asked a few questions and immediately sent out a replacement which arrived the following day!
Hopefully this one lasts longer but I know customer services are great no matter what!
Unboxing this power bank was a delight. It’s really well-presented in its simple eco-friendly packaging with nice touches like end caps on the USB plugs. It’s a solid unit, reassuringly heavy with sturdy USB sockets. Even the snug-fitting carry-bag is robust enough to provide protection from knocks and scratches. In use it seems fine. Rapidly charging from my Moto adaptor and providing turbo power to my phone using my existing cables without any user intervention. Just plug in anything that needs charging, and it’ll automatically be done at its highest rate. Slow charging peripherals too.
I purchased this power bank for my other half, he loves it .Its well made ,charges at a rapid pace and comes with lead , two usb ports plus a usb light that you could use for a million purposes. The product can be registered very easily on there website to extend the warranty to 3 years . A you have to do is copy and paste your order number from Amazon website and enter it on the registration page along with your name etc, and bingo done . Brilliant quality ,pleased with it so much ordering another today .
If you need a power bank then this is the one for you.
Just received my INIU Power Bank I order yesterday and noticed the seal on the box was broken and on opening the box the Power Bank was half out of the wrapping (see photos).
It isn’t marked and seems to be working; it’s shows 80% charge, so I will charge it then fully test it.
So 3 Stars because of the condition it was received in, having paid fully price for a secondhand product. I’m also as yet unsure if it’s a returned faulty product that I’ve been sent.
I’ll amend this review in due course
UPDATE (22/12/21):-
I was contacted (completely unexpectedly) yesterday stating they wanted to send me a replacement, this was delivered today. It’s a 100% new unopened, sealed item (see additional photos).
Great customer service that other companies should be emulating.
When I first got this it was on about 80% charged and 2 weeks later it’s on 71% (but I’ve only charged a watch every 2 days which takes 1 hours). When I opened it the torch was on in the box but I just turned that off.
One of the USB ports doesn’t seem to keep whatever is plugged in charging for some reason and will only start to charge if I press the on button but stops charging when the percentage light goes off.
It does charge things quickly though. Bit heavier than I expected but is fine for travelling. Also came with a strange plug in light which is quite bright but haven’t found a use for it yet. I recommend getting this. The battery percentage is really helpful!
When I first held the INIU POWER BANK my first impressions were that it was heavier than I had anticipated.
But it is a powerful unit and with it must come weight. It is a really well built unit and looks and feels great in the hand.
For me it is ideal. When my wife and I go on holiday we take two IPhones and two IPads and consequently we often find either a lack of power plugs in hotel rooms meaning you have to disconnect a kettle to charge the above. Plus because the IPhones and IPads have a mix of lightning and usb-c connections we also have to haul a selection of chargers and leads. Now we will not need to worry about the number of plugs in the room. Just the INIU power bank placed anywhere in the room. For that reason alone I think it will prove to have been a good buy.
The other thing I like is the fact that you can charge almost anything. See my photo above of me charging my electronic candle lighter. I am already finding the power bank very useful at home.
Early days but I think I will be glad I purchased the INIU power bank.
Bought this as a replacement for an older portable charger. The USB C port is up to date for most goods now and I was using it to keep a charge on an old IPad, which was constantly losing charge. Used it on a 4.5hrs flight and only used 16% to keep the IPad charged. Would recommend.
