INIU Power Bank, 25000mAh 100W High Capacity USB C Laptop & Phone Portable Charger, Fast Charging Flight Cruise Ship Travel Essential Mini Battery Pack for College Students Travelers Boys Girls, Red

Every once in a while a generic brand finds their stride and eventually becomes something. This is how popular brands like Anker and Ugreen got their start. I think INIU is another one, where engineering, quality, consistency, and value have started to make them stand out.Build quality is solid. This power bank has a slim profile but feels substantial and heavy in the hand. The shell is decent quality and the LCD percentage indicator is neat. It comes with a padded yet ventilated drawstring bag which allows the battery to be protected while in use.Anker does not carry a battery in this size and capacity with the same 100W output which is what sold me this one. Their most similar option is a thick rectangular pack not that suitable for strapping to a portable gaming device. However I bought an Anker 736 100W wall charger to go with this and the two are a great combo. This battery will use up to 65W and charges relatively quickly given its large capacity. I haven't measured actual capacity but I'd wager the 25000mAh rating is pretty close to genuine.Power output is spectacular. The first USB-C port can output 100W when used by itself but drops to 65W capacity when using the other ports. When using just Port 1 + Port 2 it can output 65W+45W and Super Fast Charge a pair of smart phones from 15-20% to full in about an hour. Can confirm it allows my ROG Ally X to play in 30W boost mode, normally only accessible via the wall charger. Very impressive performance.The only weird behavior is when you try to use Port 2(USB-C) and Port 3(USB-A) at the same time. It drops the charging capacity of both ports to 15W total between the two even though other combinations allow much higher total output. Port 1(USB-C) stays at 65W minimum output no matter what. I personally would use EITHER Port 2 OR Port 3 but avoid using both together to get around this issue. However if you did have to charge 3 things at once, It will surely do that.For the money this is hard to beat. I paid less than $60. INIU is starting to be reviewed and tested and the nerd community has largely approved their products. In this case the hype hasn't let me down. Thanks Reddit!

The media could not be loaded. Hey guys so I’d like to start by saying I absolutely adore this powerbank I love batteries and solar stuff in general and I just love the way this powerbank feels in the hand the capacity is pretty true enough to specs it’ll charge my iPhone 11 Pro Max from 0 to 100% using 100% down to 84% of its starting power. Of course you do tend to get the less drain when the bank is high percent. So maybe it would take say 20% of its numerical value from 40% and under to charge same said phone. However this has been a near daily partner for me love love love it. I used the 20k version I’d say a good 6 months or longer before they invented this 25k unit. Love them both and I would say the 20k has juuuuust about the same capacity almost identical in real world use just about down to the percent guys. Except this bad boy can output 65 watts for the big boy devices. And what’s better is is can solar charge off a small foldable 60 watt panel at 45 watts in 65 out. So this guy charges pretty quick in about 2 hours. But mines always less cause I take care of my batteries and I very rarely ever let my lithium batterys drop below say 30s percent. And I don’t think this boy has ever been close 0% and only 100% maybe 6-10 times max I always try to keep it around 50-80% I think it has held its capacity great absolutely great I can’t notice a real world difference in percent loss when charging since day one and i use (2) phones at work daily. Love the powerbank live the carring case it comes with it’s just a nice soft sell formed rubber coating and just feels quality and solid weight in the hand no rattles just a solid brick in stylish formate with a great (percentage based display) I love being able to offer my family charges while on trips to church ect and brag about the banks performance and stellar recharge (itself) time. It charges 3 times faster then it’s 20k little brother and can triple the power out for devices. I’d say their is a bit of a let down as this power bank isnit pps compatible charger. And that’s basically needed to fast charge say my Samsung ultra 2023 at 2.0 max speed. Samsung requires a charger to be pps. I guess it’s basically like a chip that slows the charger to talk to Samsung phones or maybe other devices and androids. However that’s to achieve fast charge 2.0 display to pop up on the s23 ultra to say hey I’m getting like a lot of watts (up to 40). However this power bank gets the job done just fine and plenty quickly enough as the s23 ultra don’t really ever use 45 watts unless it’s really really low and even that’s temporary. So you hardly notice much a difference in using this power bank opposed to a 45 watt (pps) wall charger. You may get from say 30% to 85% 5 or 7 minutes faster so but the time you really notice it’s already been those extra handful of minutes and it’s sitting at 85% so still plenty fast enough so won’t doc it to hard there. However I will say I take such good care of this bank it’s my daily companion and I was pretty dissapointed today that the 65 watt port the (charging the bank port) no longer functions. I trued different cables and then eventually tried to detail clean it being gentle however it simple has given out. Now let’s see how iniu as a company responds and will get back to you guys for an update! By the way the other ports are working flawless and the capacity is still spot on. I do however wish at least one other port could take over the responsibility of recharging the unit itself as guys your relying on one port significantly to keep this powerbank lasting for years and unfortunately even with good care this all important 65 watt port decided it would it call it a day for good. However I will update you guys and see if iniu will step up and stand behind thier power banks! That’s for the read sorry about the length :))) I’ll update my rating after we see how it’s handled thanks guys!UPDATE *** 11/13/23I’m very happy to say both Amazon and Iniu both had great reps and they had sent me a new unit out with all the bells and whistles. A new carry bag and two new cables just like buying it brand new. I would like to change my review to 5 stars simple because I truly do love this unit. Iniu is one of the good ones who do actually put the amount of mAH in their battery banks. You’ll get plenty of goo steady power from this champion and I put it to the test for over the 7 months. Everywhere I went it went suppling power two 2 phones (one on hotspot). You’ll love the feel of this case and the easy read (%) display. Battery bar displays are a no go for me I really like to know the exact amount of power that I’m using and what I have left. It also allows me to monitor the capacity as when I first charged my iPhone 11 Pro Max for 0% to 100% the battery bank went from 100% to 84%. That’s good to know as time goes by to see if you end up around the same. And I’m happy to say this champ was about in the exact same percent over daily use for 7 months. I also was using a 45 watt charger a decent portion of the time so the 65 watt port was well used and ports do unfortunately fail from time to time. But it’s a good test for iniu to see how how they approach their warranty. And I’m happy to say they backed it up 100%. Their warranty says they’ll replace your unit with a refurbished if they have then stock if not you’ll get s brand new unit. This one has what looks to be (possibly) the smallest little pinprick on one side where maybe they had repaired it… but it could be just a little speck of of torn rubber sticking up. However this unit is more prestine then my first that had scratches on the lcd screen. This one’s flawless besides the little thing in mentioned. Overall I can say I’m very satisfied with both Amazon rep I talked to and iniu who made sure I was taken well care of without sending anything back or to much hoops to jump through they got me set back up with go to companion once again and I’m very thankful to Amazon but Expecially iniu they passed the test guys so you won’t have to worry if your bank kills over from a port or something months down the road even 2 or 3 year I presume so out it to use and enjoy the convenience the comfort and feel of this premium power bank and know if anything goes wrong with it your covered. I’ll update again if anything happens with this one. In the meantime i may consider using about a 30 watt charger to charge the unit. Just because it can charge at 45 watts doesnit relaky mean you Must charge at max speed everytime. But the battery stew didnit mind it and no other port failed so it could be absolutely fine. It’s just eh if im not rushing to charge I may opt to enjoy still good speeds around 30 or so maybe 36 watts that would give my belkin charger a chance to be used and also may just be a little easier on the all to over used and important 65 watt port. The only post that recharges the unit itself… so guys as I said in the video shew I really do love solar and batterys and geeky powebanks and this one justFeeels so good in the hand you it let’s you know to take care of it you’ll enjoy this one and this company. But just to be sure I’ll update if anything happens :) if not we’ll I’ll be out there somewhere using this powerbank daily once again thanks to iniu :)

Amazing battery bank. It keeps my Steam Deck and all my attached peripherals running (peltier cooler, 2nd screen) for hours on end while playing my emulators or even AAA games. Size is perfect for my use case and price was very competitive. Has pass through charging and the screen is bright. Problem I am facing and why I gave it a 3 star is because no matter what I do, this will NOT charge at 100w. I have used multiple 240w cables, 100w cables, and even the one that came with this and still nothing. I have tried 3 different 100w chargers and nothing. Even my 240w charger maxes out at 60w while charging. Not sure if mine is a dud but the In/Out claim of 100w is not true for me.Update: After receiving and 2nd one to test, confirmed that I will only charge at 60w. I pulled the Spec sheet and saw that it indeed charges at 65w (losses) but again, thus is an amazing product and DOES output at 100w. Charging might just take slightly longer because it only charges at 60w and not 100w. Don't even start with the size. Smallest one out there with this capacity.

Updating my initial review which was negative. The unit i received was defective. May have been damaged in shipping but it would not hold a charge. I was contacted by INIU who sent a replacement which is an updated version. The updated version is smaller and more compact. So far it has worked a treat. I use it to charge my surface pro and it works great. It does not get hot during use. Also the new unit had a carrying strap which is the USB C cable which is super swift. If you are reading this review, make sure and check for the newer version of this charger and purchase that.
