TP-LINK 10000 mAh Power Bank PB50 review

By Gogi Rana on September 6, 2015 24 Comments

Here is another Power bank from TP-LINK, Model No. PB50. This is a 10000 mAh Power Bank with a 1 year warranty and it comes with intelligent charging technology with 6 safety protection features. This power bank will be available in India from 7th September 2015.

TP-Link Power Bank Unboxing
Inside the box you will find the Power Bank, user guide, technical information booklet, data cable and a travel pouch.

Design
The TP-LINK PB50 Power Bank looks a bit different when compared with the other Power Banks available in the market. It looks more like a Hip Flask. PB50 comes in black and glossy silver colour combination. The black material is soft to touch, gives a good grip and covers most of the area. This power bank weighs about 283 grams.

It has got a curvy body with no sharp edges. There is TP-LINK logo on one end and on the other end you will find two USB ports and a micro USB port. USB port 1 is with 5V/2A output and the USB port 2 is with 5V/1A output. You can charge this Power Bank using a 5V/2A charger.

There are 4 led indicators and a status button that when pressed will light up the LED thereby giving you an idea about the battery levels (4 LED’s lighting up – battery full, 3 LED’s – battery 75%, 2 LED’s – battery 50%, 1 LED – battery less than 25%).

Hardware and Performance
This TP-LINK 10000 mAh Power Bank is using LG Polymer Cell battery that is thinner and safer and it comes with intelligent charging technology that identifies the device connected and delivers fastest possible charge. You can simultaneously charge up to 2 devices.

This Power Bank can be used to charge smartphones, headphones, tablets, camera and Gaming devices. It is compatible with android, windows and iOS platforms.

Battery performance
I was able to charge this Power Bank from almost 0% (no LED) to 100% (4 LEDs) in 6 hours 30 minutes using a 5V ~ 2A charger. If you are using a lower capacity charger (say 5V ~ 1A) it will take a longer time to charge.

After a full charge this 10000 mAh Power Bank was able to re-charge an android smartphone with a 2000 mAh battery for almost 5 times (4.5 times to be precise).

Verdict
The TP-LINK power bank looks different and comes with intelligent charging and built in safety protection. The bank has got an elegant look and performed really well.

There are cheaper and higher battery capacity power banks available in the markets, the TP-LINK 10000 mAh power bank (PB50) is also a good option, it will be available from 7th September for a price between ₹2500 to ₹3000.

    I can’t understand why the current generation of powerbanks is popular at all. Most phones give you at least a day’s worth of battery life(If not, just change your phone. Even under 10 k you can get phones like Moto E and Zenfone Laser 2 which can give you almost two days battery life) What forest are you going to get lost in so that you need to recharge your phone four times before you can find a wall charger?

    The only time it may be useful to have a powerbank is when you go on a trip and you stay in a hotel where the A.C. wall outlet is looking dangerous and you don’t want to risk your expensive smartphone. Then you can use your powerbank to charge your phone and you can charge your powerbank using the wall outlet. The powerbank is much cheaper than a phone and has built-in safety features so that it can get safely charged even in poor conditions so that the risk is less. But how often does such a situation arise?

    On day to day usage, the powerbank is actually a nuisance. Instead of charging your phone up in two to three hours you are repeatedly charging your powerbank for six to seven hours at a time. And since you don’t get lost in a forest very often, you will not really get any benefit from lugging around this extra item. That is why I find it especially funny when I hear that a 16000 mah powerbank is better than a 10000 mah powerbank. Apparently it is worth charging this thing for ten hours repeatedly for those special occasions when you will get lost in such a big forest that you will need to charge your phone 8 times before you see another wall outlet!

    It would be different if these powerbanks could be charged very fast(and also charge devices at a reasonable rate, at least 80% of the speed of direct charging) Let us say you had a 10,000 mah powerbank that within 15 minutes of charging, could pick up enough charge to charge a 2500 mah battery up to 50%, within 1 hour 15 minutes enough to charge a 2500 mah battery completely, within 3 hours to charge a 2500 mah battery twice and within 4.5 hours get charged completely so that it can charge a 2500 mah battery 4 times. Then you are getting real value. Without getting an expensive flagship device, you have fast-charging technology in your hands. Even better because you are not risking your phone’s battery(especially a non-removable one!) with whatever wear and tear is caused by fast charging but a much cheaper device which you can replace every twelve months or so!

    The next generation of powerbanks should have these features
    1) 10,000 mah battery with its own USB charger in the box with fast-charging with the kind of figures I’ve given
    2) Safety features which enable it to get charged even in poor and dangerous conditions without any damage.
    3) Smart charging so that the charge rating of your device does not matter. Like your computer USB port, it can charge a device of any rating. No fixed rating on the outlet.
    That set of features will actually be worth around 3.5 k. The current crop of powerbanks are wasteful even at 1 k.
