The first surprising thing about this power bank is how thin it is. It’s really thin, much thinner than my iPhone, and about the thickness of a few credit cards or a few coins.
When I first saw it, I thought it was plastic and was worried that the battery might bend in my pocket and cause a fire. Luckily everything is encased in a stainless steel shell and so far it has withstood everything I’ve thrown at it.
Sure, I guess you could bend it in half if you tried, but the same goes for phones and tablets. What matters is whether it is strong enough to withstand daily life.

Perhaps most importantly, the success of this power bank means I don’t have to carry around the biggest thing I can find all the time. It offers a capacity of 5,000mAh, which is not a large capacity. huge The amount is enough to charge a modern smartphone approximately once. If you need more than that, you’ll need a larger pocket to store a larger power bank or access to AC power.
ZDNET purchase advice
of Auskang 5,000mAh mobile battery Perfect for using your smartphone on the go. It’s small, light, and packs a punch. My only criticism is that you can’t charge it using the built-in USB-C cable. You will need another cable for that. Furthermore, the more things you carry, the more difficult it becomes to travel light. Think of this power bank as a one-time use case.
All in all, Auskang is a great value for around $20. If you’re looking for something small, thin, and durable that you can carry in your pocket or bag, this is a great buy.
