(Last Updated On: December 14, 2020)

Power banks that feature Quick Charge technology are becoming very important parts of portable charging. This is mostly due to the increase in devices that are compatible with the fast charging technology that is Quick Charge, and it makes sense because who doesn’t want fast charging?

However, it’s quite rare for a power bank to just have a single charging port and also feature Quick Charge because Quick Charge is sought to be a special charging technology but at the same time not too common.

That’s changing because most people that use an Android smartphone have one that is compatible with QC. With that said, this CHUWI power bank is one of those portable chargers that has just a single charging port also take takes advantage of Quick Charge 3.0.

Let’s see if it’s also useful for those that don’t have Quick Charge compatible devices too.

Power Capacity:

The power capacity of the CHUWI power bank starts at 10,050mAh and the usable power capacity that you’re going to receive is going to better than most power banks on the market.

This is because of two main reasons: It uses LG battery cells that can give a better conversion and there is only a single charging port and that means energy is only being sent through one chord.

With that said, you can either fair about 70% of a conversion rate or 75% if you’re not using the Quick Charge tech. As a result, it’s going to leave you with an Output power capacity of about 7,000mAh that you’ll be able to use.

Is the Output power capacity Good?

Well yeah, it’s great if you’re charging smartphones because you’ll be able to get about 3.5 full charges to an iPhone 7 and you can fair about 2 full charges for a Samsung Galaxy S7.

Both of those smartphones have large battery capacities and yet the power bank can charge them to full multiple times. If the smartphone you have has a lower battery capacity, then it’ll be able to charge those more times.

Charging Tablets

Charging tablets with the power bank isn’t too bad, as long as you’re charging mini ones like the iPad Mini 2 or iPad Mini 4 that will be able to get 1 full charge. The same goes for the Galaxy Tab A series from Samsung that will also be able to charge to their full power, while still leaving the power bank with the power to spare.

If you wish to charge Full-Sized tablets, like an iPad 12-Inch version, the CHUWI power bank can charge the iPad to 70%.

Output Charging:

There is only a single charging port and the main attraction for this power bank is that it uses Quick Charge 3.0.

Charging with Quick Charge

So if you’re using a Quick Charge 3.0 compatible device the charging speed that you’re going to receive is 3.2V-20V/3.0A, and the Amperage that it offers throughout its Voltage ranges are either 3 Amps, 2 Amps, and 1.5 Amps.

Since Quick Charge 2.0 compatible devices are also compatible with Quick Charge 3.0 Tech, you can also charge them at Quick Charge 2.0 speeds of 5V/9V/12V and the same Amperage levels follow that of Quick Charge 3.0.

Normal Charging

Can this power bank still charge Non-Quick Charge compatible devices?

Yes, however, the charging speed that is offered to standard charging devices is only 5V/2.0A. It’s good, but for a power bank that is built on the premise of delivering fast charging speeds, it doesn’t deliver too well for the standard crowd.

Input Charging:

The Input charging adopts the same charging speed as Quick Charge and this is something that not a lot of power banks do. Recharging speeds are 5V/2A | 9V/2A | 12V|1.5A.

With that said, as fast as the recharge is, you’ll have to use a Quick Charge wall charger to recharge the power bank as fast as possible, when that’s done, then you’ll be able to get a full recharge within 4-5 hours.

Design

Size and Weight:

For its power capacity and charging capabilities, we’d say that the CHUWI power bank does a great job at making itself portable as possible.

This is because it has a length of 4 inches, a width of 2.3 inches, and a thickness of 0.8 inches. The weight of the power bank is about 8 ounces, so not too heavy but too light either.

Functional Components:

All of its functional parts are on a single side and this is where you’ll find the power button, 4 LED power capacity indicators, a Micro-USB Input, and a USB Output charging port. Charging DOES NOT automatically start, so just press the power button to begin charging your smartphone or tablet.

 

Build

Structure and Material:

It’s a very sturdy power bank that’s perfect for everyday use. However, we don’t think it can take falls because there aren’t any protections to make it withstand shock damage.

Tech:

On the tech side, the CHUWI power bank takes advantage of the basics such as being able to shut-off when you’re device is fully recharged, Short-Circuit, and Surge Protection. The use of LG batteries is really good because these kinds of batteries can last longer.

Reliability

Reliability is going to be most useful for those that own smartphones that are compatible with Quick Charge. This is because if you’re just using a standard charging device, then all you’re going to receive is a charging speed of 2 Amps.

However, those that own Quick Charge smartphones, are going to be able to charge their device VERY quickly while they’re on-the-go.

Also when you take into account that the recharge speed for the power bank is also Quick Charge, then it’s most reliable for Quick Charge smartphone users because the chances are that they have a Quick Charge wall charger to recharge the power bank as fast as possible.

Summary:

Power:

The power capacity doesn’t take that bad of a hit when it converts and you’ll be able to charge most smartphones to their full power about 2 full times. The charging is mainly meant for smartphones that are compatible with Quick Charge.

Design:

A small and lightweight design that’s perfect for taking anywhere. All the functional parts of the charger are on a single side, and you must press the power button to begin charging. Although, charging automatically should be implemented because that’s more of the standard nowadays.

Build:

It doesn’t have a rugged build but it does have a strong enough build.

Reliability:

Those that own either Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0 devices are going to get the most from this CHUWI power bank.
