My friend has the same one as this and also speaks of how good it is. Definitely worth consideringlopsyfa said:https://www.mi.com/uk/product/xiaomi-22-5w-power-bank-10000/ or https://www.mi.com/uk/product/10000mah-mi-power-bank-3-ultra-compact/ will be hard to beat in terms of quality and value. Have been using a Xiaomi powerbank for about 6 years now and still works well.0 -
I'd like to add another relevant question and that is - if it's for emergency use and needs to be kept charged how quickly does the battery drain if not in use?
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

My Anker one generally keeps its charge pretty well even without use. It won't be 100% but will still be more than 75% powered even after several weeks. At least that's what the charge LEDs say!

Same here - My larger one is used maybe every 3 months and holds its charge well. I'd check them twice a year if part of a bug out bag.I'm not an early bird or a night owl; I’m some form of permanently exhausted pigeon.1

That's good to know. Thanks.
Had a breakdown in a remote spot and the calling and unusable links sent etc my phone was getting low which added to the worry.I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
