YU recently launched the YU Juice a 10,000 mAh power bank in India with a price tag of ₹1,099. They also launched a 5000 mAh version for ₹699. Here is the review of 10000 mAh YU Juice.
Box pack
The box pack was pretty simple, inside I found the Juice Power Bank and warranty card. Cable is also included in case when you remove the cardboard that holds the power bank and do not find the cable just look under the cardboard.
Design
This power bank looks good but really does not match up with the finishing and the quality when compared with the Mi Power Bank. Build quality is good, it’s using Aluminum alloy shell, grayish colour and the two ends have shiny silver borders.
On one end the battery mAh capacity is mentioned – 10,000 mAh in this case along with input 5V 2A max and output details. On the other end there is LED indicator, input (micro USB port) to charge this device and two USB ports – one port supports 5V ~ 1A output and other supports 5V ~ 2.1A output.
Usage
To charge the device just plug in any charger with max 5V ~ 2A output, you can charge this power bank with low output but make sure it is not higher than 5V ~ 2A (check the rating it will be mentioned on the adapter that you will be using for charging).
There are two USB ports, you can simultaneously charge 2 devices. When charging the LED indicator will turn on – the LED colour will also give you an idea about the power bank battery level.
There is no button to check the LED indication, but surprisingly the LED shows up when you shake the device, at times when you are picking it up and sometimes when you are softly throwing it on the bed. Finally it has been confirmed that you can check the battery level by tapping the device – the same was not mentioned in the user manual.
Performance
It took me about 5 hours to charge this power bank from 0% to 100% using 5V ~ 2A adapter. The LED will glow red when battery is under 30%, orange when it is between 30 to 75% and green when battery level is over 75%.
I was able to charge a smartphone with a 2000 mAh battery for 3 times first time and after charging the Juice again to 100% near about 4 times the second time.
Sometimes when you connect the smartphone charging does not start instantly, even the LED is off, but it does work after sometime. Some users have mentioned that they need to shake the power bank to start the charging (I did not face that issue).
But there is one thing that was bothering me – Whenever I am holding the power bank in my hand and shaking it a bit, I can feel something moving inside.
Verdict
Here is another low cost power bank from YU, called the YU Juice priced at ₹1,099. It does not really compete with the Mi Power bank, if possible (depends on availability) better go for the Mi Power Banks or choose any other bank.
YU Juice Power bank starts from ₹699.
How we know that Yu power bank is fully charged
Hey Ankit once you plugin the usb in a charger and start charging the power bank itself you would notice one thing first if the power bank is fully discharged you would found the light indicator would start blinking in red once it get 25% charged then it would change colour to yellow then for 50% it would blink in orange and 80 or above it would blink in green. The device once gets full charged it would continually reflects green light here my friends you need to plug out your charger from the wall. As per my observations it takes 3 to 4 hours if you have a fast wall charger like samsung note 3 or above. Overnight charging is also recommended for better use.
Hi,
Even after charging it whole night, not able to charge nexus4 even 2 times fully. Doubt if the product provided is defective . Suggest…
All of them and geetha…listen
don’t measure the capacity of ur phone with power banks power bank’s capacity..is totally different.. we cannot charge the 2000mah battery with 2000mah power bank..ot have some formulae..I just forgot that..
iphone 5s has a 1570 mah battery which could be charged 6+ times. Unfortunately with this PB, I can charge hardly 3 times in 2 days PB standby period. Feels useless when thinking about the capacity in mah.
My yu juice power bank is not working well when I plug in my phone.
How is honor 13000 mah power bank, which one is better when compared?
Gogi sir please tell whether to buy ambrane p1500 power bank over yu juice or not?????
I have not checked Ambrane, but if you can go for Mi Power bank.
Green light is coming after charging but when I charge phone it doesnot show any light nor it is charging.
I am using this power bank for some time the indicator do not reflect the status of the charging.
Probably, there is a jaadu(krish) alien inside your power bank..he is the power supplier . he is moving for dhoop.. xray may find him.. 😛 😀 , btw I feel the same when I checking one of my frnd, i thought it is the heart beat of the bank 😛 …
That sounds great.many reviewers won’t keep the product after review.
Gogiji is it useful for longer use and I have request too please use at least one month and review that, can you do that.
I am using it, if there is any issue I will update.
How is Asus power bank. Snapdeal is giving 10050 mah power bank of Asus for 1k…is it good to buy.?? Or should i buy Mi power bank??
Thank God,I successfully ordered MI 5000Mah power bank yesterday via MI Store App,Mi already shipped my item via FedEx Bangalore & it will be today!
When YU is purely Indian company, then why it is written on the battery body it is made in china.
Hey Gogi Please Suggest Me A Good And Affordable 5V-2A Charger For Xolo Smartphone
You can use any charger, your other brand phone charger will also do, just check the rating mentioned. If you don’t have one you can get it from a local mobile store.
Probably you got some defective piece because the product that I received came with one short length white Micro USB cable along with some documentation and warranty card. there was nothing written on warranty card. my yu power bank is of same 10000 mAh and it doesn’t feel anything moving with in while shaking.
That’s strange!, anyone got cable + documents?
Well, i got a white small usb cable but no documentation..
and yes the contents are mentioned on the box… didn’t you find cable written there..
Yes written charging cable, warranty card. But did not get the cable.
hmm.. then complain it..
Hi sorry have got it, if you have not got the cable check the cardboard that had the Power Bank on, remove that and look under it, it will be there. The cardboard is light weight and most of us will not look under it to see what is there.
Yes, there is no documents, nothing other than warranty card. Today one of my frnd received….
Gogi plz suggest me about any other brands…as service availability..
Cable is placed erratically, b/w the gaps inside the packaging. At first, I too couldn’t find it. But I don’t understand the shaky thing inside. For sure, you got a damaged piece. And for the backup, I got 3 times from 0-100 and a 4th time till 42%.
Ah I see the cable, thanks it was stuck inside the gap on the removable cardboard. I just picked the cardboard and there was nothing, but when I looked under that there is the cable.
Shaky thing exists even in mine, requested replacement, did you shake it… try..
The shaky thing is not an defect. Its probably for the tap to charge feature so that it fan sense when it is being shaked.
I too got cable+powerbank+warranty card.
