Best iPhone Power Banks in the Philippines 2020 - 2021

The growing dependence on our smartphones these days is taking a toll on their batteries. And if you own an iPhone, you probably know that its batteries are smaller and drain faster than its Android counterparts.

It's a headache when your iPhone battery gives out when you're on the go, but your power bank can save you: it will enable you to quickly recharge your device and carry on with whatever you were doing.

Myriads of power banks are available in the market with which you can charge up your iPhone and other Apple devices. But before purchasing one, you should pay attention to some specifics of the power bank that you're planning to buy.

Here's a list of essential features you should check before buying a power bank.

Picking the Right Power Bank for Your iPhone

Battery capacity

First and foremost, you should check that the power bank you are going to purchase is at least three to four times the capacity of your iPhone battery. Buy one with at least 10,000mAh capacity so that you can charge your phone more than two or three times. That will come handy when you're on the road for a few days.

Number and type of ports

Power banks in the market nowadays have two or three charging ports. If you carry more than one device, purchase one that features more than one port.

Traditionally, power banks came with USB 2.0 and Micro USB ports but newer models offer a USB Type-C port too. Picking a power bank with a USB Type-C port will save you the hassle of owning different types of cables.

Output voltage

The output voltage of the power bank is very crucial. It should be equal to or greater than your iPhone. If the output voltage is less than your iPhone, the power bank will charge slowly; its efficiency will also drop significantly when powering more than two devices at once. It can even damage your iPhone's charging port and battery too. The standard output voltage of a power bank should be at least 5V.

Portability

Portability is a paramount aspect. You should choose a power bank that's lightweight, robustly built, and easily fits into your pocket. Many companies are focusing on making less bulky power banks.

Now let's move on and look at the best iPhone power banks available online. We tried to keep the list simple by picking ones within the affordable PHP 1,000 range, and made sure that our selection offers the best value for your money. They all are equipped with a 10,000mAh battery at minimum and feature USB Type-C ports for added convenience.

Best iPhone Power Banks Under PHP 1,000

PINENG PN-957 10,000mAh

PINENG has in a short period captured the heart of many online shoppers. The PN-957 power bank offers comprehensive solutions at an affordable price, making it one of the most sought-after power banks.

The PINENG PN-957 can charge multiple devices as it comes with three built-in cables comprising of a USB, Micro USB, USB Type-C, and a "Fruit" cable used for discharging.

What's great about the PN-957 is that it comes with integrated cables. Each of the three output ports has an in-built cable in addition to another USB cable for input. This will save you from the hassle of carrying too many extra wires.

The device has a 3.7V 10,000mAh lithium-polymer battery with a rated output capacity of 6,300mAh. The four LED indicators let you know the battery status.

The high-density battery and the carbon fiber outer shell is the secret to the device's slim appearance and light weight, enabling users to easily carry it by sliding it into their pocket or backpack. The power bank comes with a pouch and a Micro USB cable, which are included in the box.

Infinix 10,000mAh Portable Quick Charge

You may be familiar with Infinix smartphones, but the brand offers electronic accessories too, the hallmark of which is affordability. But it doesn't gloss over the quality aspect ― the Infinix 10,000mAh Portable Quick Charge is an excellent example.

This power bank has a two-way 18W fast charging support via USB Type-C port, which supports Qualcomm's Quick Charge (QC) 3.0. The Micro USB input and output, however, do not support QC 3.0.

The power bank can charge two devices simultaneously, regardless of platform. It uses a 10,000mAh lithium-polymer battery while the superior circuit protection includes protection from short-circuiting, overcharging/discharging, among others. It also has an LED indicator that shows battery status.

This Infinix power bank is smaller than a deck of cards and fits easily into your pocket, despite being slightly thick.

Xiaomi 10,000mAh Mi Fast Charge Power Bank 3

The Xiaomi 10,000mAh Mi Fast Charge Power Bank 3 is the successor to the Mi Power Bank 2 with the addition of a USB Type-C port, which charges both ways with 18W fast charging support. The 18W fast charging support also applies to the Micro USB input.

There is a 10,000mAh 3.7V lithium polymer battery inside the power bank with approximately 5,500mAh 5.1V of output. The battery takes four hours to fill to the brim if charged at a rate of 18W.

The LED indicators tell the battery level. If the power button is pressed twice, the power bank goes into low-power mode, which is ideal for charging low power devices such as Bluetooth headsets and other small gadgets.

The Mi Fast Charge Power Bank 3 employs nine layers of security safeguards that include overcharging/discharging protection and protection from short circuits and incorrect insertion.

It comes covered in aluminum with a CNC finish, making it look premium and durable. Interestingly, the supplied cable has both a Micro USB and Type-C connectors at the end. The power bank is available in Silver and Black color options.

BAVIN PC150S 12,000mAh

The BAVIN PC150S is distinct from the other power banks on the list. Unlike other entries, it comes with the highest 12,000mAh battery capacity and a variant of this model also features a small digital display instead of an LED indicator, indicating accurate charging status in percentage points.

The power bank intelligently identifies a device connected to it to supply the fastest possible charge. It also stops supplying power if the connected device is not removed after getting fully charged. In all, seven safety protection layers prevent the batteries from charring.

The input ports include Micro USB and USB Type-C, while the output ports include two USB 2As. For both input and output charging, 10W fast charging is standard. Like the Mi Power Bank 3, this product also comes in two color options.

Aukey Slim 10,000mAh Powerbank

True to its name, the Aukey Slim 10,000mAh Power Bank is slim and lightweight (200g) with a very pleasing curved-edge design. It charges fast and offers broad compatibility with iPhones, iPads, and several other Android devices.

This power bank supports 5V/3A input charging through USB Type-C, fully filling up a 10,000mAh battery in just five hours. The Micro USB also charges at a 5V/2.4A power supply rate. The plugged-in devices draw charge from the power bank via two USB A ports at a maximum rate of 12W.

This product is secure, taking care of short-circuiting and overcharging risks.

VEGER 10,000mAh Powerbank VP1018

If portability is your top priority, then the VEGER 10,000mAh VP1018 power bank is perfect despite its ABS plastic build. At just 180g and 4.5 inches, it's lighter and smaller than the Aukey Slim 10,000mAh Power Bank that we mentioned earlier.

Moreover, this power bank retains a 10,000mAh Lithium battery, which is touted to have the ability to fill 3.5 times an iPhone 8 and an iPad Air 2 once. The multi-layer protection prevent overcharging, short-circuiting, and overcurrent. The four LED indicators can allow for checking battery status.

The VP1018 has a Micro USB input port alongside a USB Type-C input. The latter also serves as an output port, charging devices at a 5V/2A rate. There are two USB outputs as well, so there's nothing to worry about if you want to simultaneously charge multiple devices.

Mitsushi C10 Powerbank 10,000mAh

The Mitsushi C10 is another pocket-sized power bank weighing just 170g and can be carried anywhere with ease. It has a 10,000mAh lithium polymer battery, which, if fully juiced, can charge an iPhone about 3.5 times.

A single USB output port can charge your iPhone or any other device at a maximum rate of 5V/2.1A. The two input ports ― one USB Type-C and the other a Micro USB ― charge the power bank at a top rate of 5V/2.0A. The only drawback is that you can't charge multiple devices at once.

Conclusion

The devices we mentioned are readily available online. Hopefully, we've been able to help you with our recommendations for the best iPhone power banks priced under PHP 1,000. We're pretty sure, though, that the models listed here will work pretty well on Androids too.
