Introduction #

Over the past while, China has introduced a new regulation for power banks on flights.

CCC logo

As older portable chargers do not have this label, this prompted me to keep a lookout for new portable chargers that do have this logo. If you carry portable chargers without this logo, it may be liable to be confiscated.

In the box, there is a portable charger together with a pouch to carry it.

After personally using it for a month, I really liked the portable charger. Here are the points that I found useful

  1. Not a very big foot print and can easily fit into my bag
  2. For short overseas trips, I can bring this portable charger along and not have to bring any chargers for my phone
  3. This also passes the CCC check in China without much hassle
  4. The screen shows the battery cycle count and is of very high quality
  5. Supports Fast Charging 2.0 on my Samsung phone.

However, there are also some points which I found not as useful.

  1. The weight of the portable is on the higher end, which make the device seem very dense.

If you are planning to get the portable charger, I will recommend getting them together with the rubber covers. The cover makes it makes it easier to hold and gives it a better feel.

Overall I will definitely recommend this portable charger to anyone who are looking for:

  1. A large capacity power bank / portable charger
  2. That does not take up too much space
  3. That supports fast charging

If you are in China, I do recommend that you buy it from their local websites instead (Usually cheaper). Otherwise, feel free to use the links below.
