Short version: three power banks between €29.99 and €37.99, all 10,000 mAh except the solar one. The number on the box is not the number you get: a 10,000 mAh bank delivers roughly 6,000–6,500 mAh to your phone after conversion losses. Everything below is about what that actually means.

Power banks are the category with the widest gap between the specification and the experience. Here is the honest version.

Why 10,000 mAh is really about 6,000

A power bank stores energy at the cell voltage of roughly 3.7 V, and delivers it at 5 V (or higher) over USB. Converting between the two loses energy as heat, and the charging process inside your phone loses more. In practice you get 60–65% of the rated capacity.

So a 10,000 mAh bank gives you roughly 6,000–6,500 mAh at your phone. For a modern phone with a 5,000 mAh battery, that is one full charge plus about a quarter — not the "three charges" some listings claim. Any brand quoting three charges from 10,000 mAh is either measuring an unusually efficient phone or not measuring at all.

The three, compared honestly

Model Capacity Output Price Buy it if
Xiaomi Magnetic 10,000 mAh Standard USB-C €32.99 You want wireless magnetic charging on the go.
Xiaomi 67 W 10,000 mAh 67 W fast charge €37.99 You want to top up a laptop or charge a phone fast.
LogiLink SP0074 Small, solar/crank Low €29.99 Camping, emergencies, radio and torch included.

The €5 that matters. Between €32.99 and €37.99 the difference is 67 W output. On a phone that supports it, that changes a 90-minute charge into roughly 30 minutes. If you charge on the move and time matters, the €37.99 model is the right buy. If you leave the phone plugged in overnight, the cheaper one is identical in practice.

The LogiLink is not a phone charger. It is an emergency device: solar panel, hand crank, torch and radio. Its capacity is small and the charge is slow. It belongs in a car boot, a camping bag or a power-cut drawer — not in your daily bag.

What to check before buying

  1. Airline limit. Most airlines cap power banks at 100 Wh. A 10,000 mAh bank is about 37 Wh, so it is fine for hand luggage — but it must go in the cabin, never in checked baggage.
  2. Pass-through charging. Not all banks charge themselves and a phone at the same time. If that matters, confirm it.
  3. Cable quality. An integrated cable is convenient and the first thing to fail. A bank with both an integrated cable and a spare USB-C port is more durable.
  4. Real output wattage. "Fast charge" means nothing without a number. 67 W charges a laptop; 18 W does not.

What you will not find on this page

  • No "3 full charges" claims. A 10,000 mAh bank gives you about one and a quarter charges on a modern phone. That is physics, not marketing.
  • No free shipping. Delivery is calculated at checkout.
  • No 30-day returns. You have 14 days, as stated in our policy.
  • No invented cycle life. Where the manufacturer does not publish a figure, we do not invent one.

Frequently asked questions

How many times can a 10,000 mAh power bank charge a phone?

About 1.2 to 1.3 full charges on a phone with a 5,000 mAh battery. Conversion losses mean roughly 60–65% of the rated capacity reaches your phone.

Can I take a power bank on a plane?

Yes, in hand luggage, up to the airline's limit — usually 100 Wh, which is about 27,000 mAh. Power banks must not go in checked baggage.

What does 67 W mean on a power bank?

It is the maximum output power. At 67 W the bank can fast-charge compatible phones and top up a thin laptop. At 18 W it will charge a phone slowly and will not charge a laptop.

Is magnetic wireless charging slower?

Usually yes. Magnetic wireless charging is convenient but less efficient than a cable, and some of the bank's capacity is lost as heat. If speed matters, use the cable.

Can I return it if I do not like it?

Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to return it in the condition it arrived with its accessories. That is the EU distance-selling period, not the 30 days some retailers advertise.

How long does delivery take and what does it cost?

Between 3 and 7 business days from dispatch. The cost depends on weight and destination and is calculated at checkout before you pay; there is no free shipping.

What warranty do they carry?

2 years against manufacturing defects, handled by us rather than by the manufacturer, so you do not deal with their service centre.

Is the stock shown real?

Yes. The unit counts in each block come from the catalogue inventory at the time of writing, and the product page shows live stock.

What our inspection actually covers

“Tested” means nothing without a checklist, so here is ours.

Each unit is powered on, driven through the functions the listing claims, checked for cracks and dead pixels beyond the declared grade, confirmed complete with its accessories, and matched to its serial number.

What we cannot tell you: how it will behave in two years, or how it will sound, feel or fit for you specifically. Those are the reasons the return window exists.

The limits of this page

Any shop can list virtues. Here are the constraints.

We do not invent specifications. If a number is missing, it is because we could not verify it, not because it was inconvenient.

We also do not promise to be cheapest on every line. Our claim is narrower and checkable: real stock, an inspected unit, and a price that does not move at checkout.

Delivery, returns and warranty

  • Delivery: 1–3 working days in Spain, 3–7 working days to the rest of the EU. Preparation takes 1–3 working days.
  • Returns: 14 calendar days from delivery, per EU Directive 2011/83/EU. Return shipping is paid by the customer unless the item arrived damaged or incorrect.
  • Warranty: 2 years of legal guarantee under EU consumer law.
  • Shipping: flat rate by zone, no free-shipping threshold.

FAQ

Is the stock figure on this page real?

Yes, it is read from the live catalogue. Sold-out units change or disappear.

What is the spread between the cheapest and the most expensive option here?

The range runs from €29.99 to €37.99, a difference of €8.00. That gap buys specification, not brand prestige — read both rows before deciding it matters to you.

How many units are available across all models?

4 models are listed, with a combined 100 units in stock. The thinnest line is Xiaomi Power Bank Magnetic 10000MAH With Cable Integrado at 25 units.

Can I return an item if it does not suit me?

Yes, within 14 calendar days of delivery, complete and resaleable. Return shipping is at your cost unless the item was faulty.

Do you ship outside the EU?

We ship to the UK, Norway and Switzerland at a higher flat rate. We do not ship to Malta or Cyprus.

Where we ship from, and on what terms

Orders leave our EU warehouse and arrive in 3 to 7 business days. Shipping is calculated at checkout by weight and destination — we do not offer free shipping, and the cost is shown before you pay.

You have 14 days from delivery to return an item under EU distance-selling rules, provided it comes back in the condition it arrived with its accessories. Every item carries a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects, handled by us rather than by the manufacturer.

What we do not sell, and why

This article reviews reference models from the market because readers compare against them. Not all of them are in our catalogue, and the prices shown next to them are market references, not an offer. What we do sell is the selection above: real units, with the price you see and a two-year warranty.

We do not invent specifications: where the manufacturer does not publish a figure in the product data, this page does not fill the gap, and we do not claim compatibilities or output figures that the product itself does not declare. We also do not include installation or accessories that are not in the box.
