Top 5 Portable Power Banks in 2015 Under 1500 INR

No matter how good your smartphone’s battery life is claimed to be, there will be situations when you’ll find yourself running out of juice. If you’re traveling, or need to stay in touch after a long work day but can’t get to a charger, portable power banks are the way to go. These handy little devices let you top up your phone’s battery in about the same time as a regular charger, and unlike a couple of years ago, aren’t unnecessarily expensive. They can be especially useful when you’re traveling or are in an area with a spotty network connection, because your phone will run out of battery faster since the radio is struggling to get a signal. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of cheap power banks on the market which will either: a) not have the capacity they claim or b) fail after a couple hundred charge cycles. Some of the more well known companies like Samsung and Sony do manufacture good power banks, but they tend to be a tad too expensive, so we’ve picked out 5 high capacity yet affordable power banks you can buy this year!

Ambrane may not be a particularly well known brand compared to the others on this list, but it definitely is worth a buy. This power bank has a capacity of 10400 mAh, features cells made by Samsung, and comes with multiple attachments, so it’s not just smartphones you can charge. There’s attachments for Apple devices (non Thunderbolt), older Nokia phones, and of course, micro USB. Dual ports let you charge two devices at once, with one port offering 5V 2A output, and the other offering 5V 1A. Plus, it also has a torch and an LCD display. Quite a lot to offer for the price, isn’t it?

Mi 10400 mAh Power Bank

5 Best Power Bank Devices in 2015 Under 1500 INR - Mi Power Bank 10400 mAhXiaomi does one thing best, and that’s offer excellent products for very affordable prices. The Mi Power Bank is no exception. Almost a year ago it was probably the highest capacity power bank you could buy that actually performed well, and it still remains one of the best. It’s actually pretty simple, and doesn’t feature multiple ports or an LCD display, but is very stable and well built. As promised, 10400 mAh capacity is on offer, and even with multiple charge cycles performance is quite good. There’s just one catch though, it’s available only through Flipkart, and is rather difficult to get because of stock issues. You might find one on other eCommerce sites, but those aren’t original ones. Do not purchase it from other sites, because you’ll probably get a sub par product and waste your money, or worse, risk damaging your smartphone.
