Tukzer 10000 mAh Power Bank Comprehensive Review

After a lot of research and a budget of around 1000 INR, I decided to buy the Tukzer 10000 mAh power bank. A decision I do not regret at all!

If you want to see the result of that research, check out this post - Which are the best quality, reliable and high output Power Banks and Chargers for USB devices?

This is by far the best power bank for the price of 1.1K INR. I got this in Lightning Deal on amazon.in

Most important points:

• Micro-USB cable included is of a high quality and ensures maximum charging speed.
• It gives a charging current of 1.5A from the 'Tablet' output port and 1A from the 'Phone' output port.
• It takes about 9 hours to fully charge when drained.
• It charges my 3100 mAh Galaxy Note II battery 3 times.

Pros:

1) It is extremely light (about 300g) and compact for 10,000 mAh.

2) High Quality Li-Po batteries ensure maximum efficiency.

2) Overcharging protection circuitry.

3) Shake to see how much charge left on LED indication feature works great!

Cons:

1) Should have had a power ON/OFF button.

2) Does not support pass-through charging, that is, does not charge phone if power-bank is charging.

Verdict:

If you need a stylish power bank of high capacity, high efficiency, light weight and safe, then go for it without second thought! Great bang for the buck!

Powerbanks: Which one to buy? What is mAh?

I have got this question a lot! "My phone's battery life has reduced, which power bank should I buy?"

Things to keep in mind for buying

1. Charging speed matters. Make sure it has a 2A output or at least 1-1.5A.
2. Make sure you are ready to shell out around 1-1.5K INR or more for a well-known good quality powerbank. If it is selling too cheap, it is poor quality/first copy and will definitely stop working after max 4-5 cycles, give you a low current output or could be of a much lower capacity than it states on the box.
3. Buy a good quality cable. If you buy a cheap cable it might provide a higher resistance, obstructing electric current and thus reducing charging speed. 
4. Preferrably buy from Amazon and Flipkart. Avoid Ebay as the listings are not verified and the seller may cheat by taking cost of original but sending a duplicate. Always read reviews. 

What is mAh?

Coming to the second question, milliampere-Hour or mAh simply put, is the unit of the amount of energy your battery can store. Higher the mAh, more will be the time for which the battery lasts.

For example, if you have a 10,000 mAh or 10 Ah powerbank and you are pulling 2A current for charging your phone, it will provide 2A for 10/2=5 hours before completely discharging.


So far in my experience, the best powerbanks that I have seen are the original Tukzer (1-2K INR), TP-Link (1.2K INR), Xiaomi (1K INR) and Sony (2K INR). For more details on these, check out my latest post, if you are not coming here from that one:
