CD-R King Mobile Power Bank 5600mAh PWB-065-R(PB-201) - Review


This is my review of CD-R King's Mobile Power Bank 5600mAh PWB-065-R(PB-201).  I had it more than a couple of months now, and had charged it more than a couple of times and used it on multiple of devices.

Here is my impressions and review of the product, after using it more extensively on a number of days:

  • It retains the charge and does not drain as fast without using it for a while
  • High capacity device such as a tablet (iPad mini) drains it super fast and will only charge the tablet a fraction and completely drain the power bank within an hour.
  • Heats up on charging with tablets, and large capacity 2400mAh battery phones
  • Its indicator is helpful in determining the charge capacity of the power bank and pretty useful in cases where you need to drain and recharge it


Pros and Cons for the Mobile Power Bank 5600mAh PWB-065-R(PB-201)

Pros

  • you get a led flashlight, a quick mobile charger with power level indicator, for the cheap price of Php580.00 (around $13 USD).
  • it's small and easy to put on your pocket or bag.
  • it can charge phones several times without recharging for a while

Cons

  • there are times it heats up a bit when charging with a phone, really heats up when charging a tablet.
  • not all devices are compatible with this charger (notably the Galaxy S Duos)
  • it takes about 5-6 hours to fully charge.



The verdict on this device:

It's a nice portable device that does not take much space on your bag.  It can retain it's charge for more than a month without recharging.  You may have to check the charge level at times and need to recharge it in a couple of months to maintain good battery life, when you don't usually use it.

This is a good choice for a power bank, since it has a LED flashlight that can be used in cinemas or when you need a quick light in the dark.  And the LED charge level indicator is very helpful to determine if you need to recharge it already.

My verdict: This is a good buy, just don't expect it to last long.  I'm sure after a couple of years you need to change it with a new model, depending on how much you use it over time.

Last time I was in CD-R King - SM Megamall branch, this model is still available and for sale.

  1. as of now:
    .
    Iyong ibang Power Bank ng Cdr-King ay DI Worth(sulit) It.,
    .
    Bakit?
    .
    Una., Iyong Mah(capacity ng battery) na nakaindicate sa product ay di totoo,. mismo technician ng cdr-king nagsabi sa akin., pero kung ganun pa man dapat indicate nila ang totoo MAH
    ..,
    Pangalawa, Matagal magcharge ang powerbank,. tapos ang bilis pa malowbat
    .
    Halimbawa:
    Meron ako 14400 mah na CDR-KING POWER bank
    Kaya nito magcharge ng 1000 mah NA BATTERY na 14 times pero base sa dry run test ko within 1 week ko nabili.,
    Only 9000 mah lang kinaya..
    .
    fyi:almost 15 hours(full hour charge ng 14400 mah) ko chinarge ang powerbank
    .
    Gusto ko man ibalik pero parang mabibiwsit ka lang sa mga staff ng cdr-king dahil sa pagtanggi nila sa produkto nila na binili ko. Para sa akin,Magsasayang lang kau ng pera para sa mga powerbank nila.,Maari magamit mo man pero iyong pera na binayad mo para sa specification ng product nila ay hindi sulit.,
    .
    Last try na ako bibili ng powerbank ng cdr-king., Mas mabuti bumili ng branded kahit mahal, totoo ang MAH na nakaindicate doon at tumatagal.,
    .
    Gusto ko lang ishare sa inyo ito para di rin kau madisappoint pagdating ng araw

    1. Thanks for posting your experience norton malcolm. It will help most people who are deciding to buy power bank from CD-R king. It's a gamble buying from CD-R King.

      I also bought mp3 players from them way way back, and it never last. It's a mix bag of china made products, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

  2. F-EYE Power Bank is the most trending gadget for the mobile phone users to keep their battery alive to allows working for a long time. It is actually a battery operated product which is based on the concept of the external charging battery that can charge the mobile phones without any external power supply.

  3. The Mobile back covers are the best protective mobile accessories to protect the mobile phone from scratches and external damages. Similarly, if in the case the mobile falls down, the back cover will help it to protect from the damage and keep it to be the scratch proof and damage proof.
