Not voting either way, as I would only vote cold. For me, having a power bank that was compact is key and I found KINPS to have the highest power density, as they use Li-Po rather than 18650 cells which waste valuable space.

I can thoroughly recommend the KINPS KP-S007, took it on holiday and it has been flawless!

Or if you spend a quid more, 20'000 mah:

Or spend £21 for 25'600mah

Oh and here is my spreadsheet of power bank comparisons!

There is always a trade off between power and portability, but you need to get what is right for you, and the most powerful is not necessarily the right one. Example, I have a number of these in different formats. I have a 20,000mah Anker and it is a beast. It will power my phone a number of times over, BUT, it is way too heavy for me to carry around in my pocket for adhoc use. I also have a much smaller Lenovo at only 5,000mah, BUT this thing is so slim it isn't much bigger than a credit card (A bit, but not that much), and it is shaped like a credit card and is slim and flat and will power my phone fully 1.5 times.

Now, my phone will last most of the day on a full charge, so I can pretty much guarantee that even with heavy usage, my smaller lighter less powerful Lenovo will do what I need it to do, so anything else more than that it is overkill and a pain to carry round. It fits in my pocket without me even noticing it is there, so is my first choice almost every time.

So the moral of my long winded story is just be aware of what you actually want it for, do the comparisons, and avoid paying for something extra that you won't necessarily actually use, or would in fact be a pain to use.

Oh by the way, standard rule of thumb is that you will only ever get about 70% of the stated power, so if it says 12,000 you can probably bank on getting circa 8,500, or if it says 10,000 you will probably get circa 7,000. Just the way it is. If it says 10,000 you get 7,000, so if your phone is 3,500 you will get 2 full charges out of it. Rough and ready calcs only but generally in the right ballpark.

Just ordered thanks

Most definitely :laughing:. Have a fab Friday vassy :smile:

Thanks Maccy. Have a nice day.. :smiley:

Ordered. Thanks

This is a pretty good item, and I've been through a fair few power bricks over the years.

Got one to take on holiday and paid 20£ on a "Black Friday" "deal". The fast-charge beats all my wall-chargers (lost my Note 4's original plug), the build quality is really nice, the size to power ratio is bang on compared to what I've had before.

Once fully charged how many iPhones 6/7 does it charge and how long does it takes to give them a full charge? Been after a powerbank for a while and wondering if this is the one to punt on

Thanks vassy.

One last one - how does it compare to the EC https://www.amazon.co.uk/EC-Technology-22400mAh-Capacity-Flashlight/dp/B00F5Q4F0U/ref=zg_bs_5520530031_7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=55SPC1NEEE46EPHSNSZ3 - the latter seems to have almost double the charge for a reasonable price?
