Pineng PN-969 20000mah powerbank review

My PNY Powerbank (7800mAh) of 3 years died on me months ago which leaves me with just one remaining Pineng powerbank (10000mAh). Not entirely enough for someone who brings tons of gadget every trip. Good thing I saw a sale on Lazada Philippines for a Pineng powerbank with 20000 mAh for only P849.00. It was already a good deal considering I got my Pineng PN-968 for P848 2 years ago and PNY 78s for P1.2k 3 years ago.

Available colors are white+gray and black+red. I ordered 2 pcs , one for each color. My officemate wants to get the black+red one so the white ended up on me.

So this is a true rated powerbank which means, it really is closed to the claimed 20000 mAh as compared to the typical cheap chinese powerbanks you can buy anywhere. It has a intelligent logic controller, which on paper will save my devices from electric damage in case something happens while charging.

So why do I need such huge capacity? 

I will be charging the following devices - during trips:

1. 2 iPhones
2. 1 iPad mini
3. portable fan
4. bluetooth speaker
5. GoPro
6. Some led camp lights
7. Mirrorless camera

I can get by from the 7800mAh and 10000mAh so I assume this new combination of 10000mAh + 20000mAh should be enough for me.

Package includes just the box, the powerbank and a short USB-microUSB cable.

Pros

• Thin
• True-rated power
• Can charge iPhone 6s up to 6x
• Affordable
• High quality led indicator

Cons

• Heavy (but still lighter compared to same 20000mAh powerbanks)
• No built-in flash light
• Bulky

Issues

1. As per the website there should be a free pouch but I didn't get one from the package
