Hi,

Need a power bank that is slim and short.

C type and preferably fast charging.

Even a 5000 mah would do, but the power bank should be slim, short and light weight.

Cheers.

I have that. Its compact but is thick. If you want something thinner, get the cheaper Mi 3i at 1k which ahs Type C + 18W fast charging. I bought the pro one for its 22.5W fast charging.

Anything more short or compact and thinner. Would be great if it is 18w plus.

Even a 5000 mah would do.

Like apple magsafe battery pack?
That would qualify as an emergency battery

You can't defeat physics. Wireless chargers need space. Buying a wireless power bank is a huge waste of energy and resources IMO.

Then please suggest a slim, short and compact wired power bank with fast charging.

What is your expectation from the size ?
Do you want it to be fit in Front Pocket of your shirt or Jeans/Trousers pocket ?

Most of the power banks in the market now are of size of 5" phone.

This one is 15cm is length

This one is the size of your palm (deal of the day on Amazon)

Actually I have a Z flip 3. It charges wirelessly on the lower half. So need a compact power bank.

Fast charging, is required. Even a wired power bank would do.

Brother, that is not compact
That is relatively compact by powerbank standards. What you are looking for might not exist in Indian market. For compact, I'll prefer those long & thin power banks instead of the thick one that I have.

Fast charging is the norm now a days. But how much compact you need. The ones available on Amazon/Flipkart are around 15cm in length.

This is the smallest compact one I found in Amazon and they named it as "Ultra Compact"

The smallest one I can image is the size of a Credit Card.

This looks good.

Any 18w variant in this size?
bad_till_bones
Mar 1, 2022 at 8:48 AM
If you check its product dimensions, its very similar to Mi Powerbank pro, just cheaper.
Actually yes.

I hope 5000mah ones would be a little more slimmer. Correct me if I am wrong.

Any fast charging compact and slimmer piece in 5000mah?

That's why said, what you are looking for might not exist in India. Big companies mostly dropped 5000mAh because it can't even charge a phone 1 time. In case you didn't know, 10000mah power banks have actual capacity of like 7000mah. Even that power bank has mentioned that it will charge a 3000mah phone 2.4 times, not even 3 times. Most phones these days have 4000-5000mah battery.

i think it comes to around 65-70% of the capacity of the powerbank which most people don't know / understand and then write bad reviews.

Yes, about 70%.

I don't trust small companies because of their QC. I will prefer ones from big brand even if supplier for Xiaomi & some small company is same, better not be early adopters for small company IMO.

Will this give a decent charging speed?

Get a quality one instead of focusing on the dimensions.
Size is also of great priority for me. Pls suggest, will this have a decent charging speed?

Don't fall for the Cuteness Trap!! Might rob you ;)

i usually don't need it. few months back, bought mi 3i 20000 for sister when she went to another state for some work. she was satisfied with it. was thinking of going for 30000mAh one but that is not allowed in flights so got the 20000mAh one. she gave it away to someone who asked for it; need to get it again today or tomorrow as she might be going out again by the end of this week or next week.
we have bought many items in the past for cuteness knowing fully well their low quality. :-D

What does "7 days service center returns" mean? Does it mean I need to give it to service center for return?

wow nice find but its like a brick. Best use case is to put it in a bag and leave it there forever, route a wire through your bag and you are a portable power source.

Thanks, But I am genuinely looking for one such thing for long trips. I was confused by the returns offered by flipkart, as "7 days service center returns" does not seem good.

Hi, are you still using the flip 3 ? Can you put a long term review of Flip 3 ?
