Yoobao Magic Cube 4400mAh Power Bank (YB-627)

With mobile phone getting more and more powerful and the battery technology still pretty stagnant at the moment. It is no wonder power bank is such a popular device nowadays. Facing the same problem, i also bought a power bank just to make sure that i never run out of battery juice when i am outside.

The power bank i bought is from Yoobao and i got it from Rochor Centre for SGD 27. Comes with nice packaging, Yoobao does feel like a quality product compare to those no brand power bank.

Comes with different connectors for different phones


Size comparison compare to Samsung Galaxy S2

The power bank itself shape like a square box. It is not really big as you can see from the photos above but it is quite thick. There is a LED torch light which will come in handy if you need some light and capacity indicators to tell you how much capacity left in your power bank.

It takes about 5 hours to fully charge this power bank. Once fully charge, it can charge Samsung Galaxy S2 twice with a little bit power left. Initially, i found it not possible to charge S2 twice and usually S2 will feel very hot during charging which is unusual. After talked to the seller, i used the cable come with the phone instead of using the power bank cable and the problem solve. Not sure whether the cable provided is of low quality or it is just bad cable but at least the power bank itself is working fine.:)

As there is no pouch in the package, i went to Daiso and able to get the pouch below for SGD 2 which can fit the power bank nicely with the cable.
