So, I recently splurged on the Anker nano power bank and the Iniu pocket rocket mini power bank in my quest for the ultimate 10,000mAh fast portable charger that will last forever. I got both to test them out, with the intention of keeping just one. This decision-making process has been a real head-scratcher for me, and now I’m thinking of returning one and maybe getting a 65W charger for my laptop as well.
The thing is, the Anker power bank is a 30W charger, while the Iniu one boasts 45W, but oddly enough, they both seem to charge my devices at the same speed. The Iniu power bank is a tad smaller and lighter compared to the Anker, which is about the same size as my old 5000mAh power bank. On the other hand, I really dig the cable that comes with the Anker—it’s not just any cable, it cleverly doubles as a loop that makes it super easy to handle and use the charger while it’s plugged in.
However, the Iniu power bank’s carry loop is actually part of the charger itself, which gives it a sleeker look but makes me a bit nervous about hanging it off my bag securely. Plus, the Iniu’s design means you can’t really use it while your phone is charging, which is a bit of a bummer.
So, here I am, torn between two options: one that’s more lightweight and easy to carry around, and the other that’s more practical and user-friendly. Decisions, decisions.
