Charging On The Go: A Stylish And Compact Power Bank Under Rs. 1000
Need a pocket-sized portable charger that delivers big power without costing a fortune? Portronics’ new Luxcell Mini 10K power bank could be the ideal solution. Priced at just Rs. 999, this pint-sized powerhouse packs a surprising 10,000mAh battery and supports fast charging of connected devices.
Sporting a uniquely retro design, the Luxcell Mini stands out from the crowd of no-frills power banks. Its vertically lined facade and partial see-through panel give a nostalgic “transistor radio” vibe. Measuring a mere 11.6cm long, it slips effortlessly into any pocket or bag. Despite the compact chassis, Portronics have maximized internal space to accommodate a generous 10000mAh lithium-ion battery.
This efficient battery ensures multiple full charges for most smartphones. During testing, it replenished an iPhone 15 Pro Max to 50% capacity in around 40 minutes, nearly matching wired charging speeds. Android handsets like the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ also charged quickly from empty to 50% via the Mini’s 22.5W Type-C port. Dual device charging is supported, though speeds may decrease slightly.
Recharging the Mini 10K takes approximately 3 hours using its 15W fast charge input. Battery levels are clearly displayed via four LED indicators on the front. An extra green light activates during rapid charging cycles. Safety features like short circuit protection provide peace of mind. Heat management is also effective, with only slight warmth produced even after extended sessions.
Combining retro good looks, portable ergonomics and solid charging performance, the Portronics Luxcell Mini 10K proves that value need not compromise on versatility. Its affordable price makes it a budget-friendly everyday companion to keep all your gadgets juiced up wherever life takes you.
