Like the previous product MobilePal Gen-2 Wireless Charging Pad in m last review, I didn't pay for this unit; I got this as a review unit and I'm going to put my honest opinion here. Please consider this if you're looking for a power bank.
I do have several other power banks and to start this review, this one isn't very different. We are reviewing MobilePal 10000mAh Universal Power Bank. I'm sure you must have noticed the product listing on Amazon says "MobilePall" instead of "MobilePal" but I'm pretty sure it's the latter.
Anyway, we'll just split this up in following 4 categories:-
- Boxing & Contents
- Build Quality & Design
- Functionality & Performance
- Pros & Cons

Like any typical power banks, the box comes with the following items inside:-
- MobilePal 10,000 mAh Power Bank
- 1 x 2-in-1 Charging Cable (Micro USB & MFi Certified Apple Lightning Port)
- User Guide
Now, the charging cable do support iPhones and other Micro USB Phones, so you wouldn't really have to separately buy or carry around a long cable. MobilePal has found a very nice way to fit both the ports in a tiny USB Cable.
Build Quality & Design
As a 10,000 mAh powerbank, it's definitely smaller and lighter than any other powerbanks out there with equivalent capacity. The body is made of solid plastic with matte surface. Overall, the finishing looks great unlike some cheap products out there. The powerbank doesn't have any LED to show the charge status, instead they have integrated a small LCD display which is very cool. It shows the battery capacity in percentage and it also displays, which output the charging unit is connected to.
It has 2 USB Outputs and 1 micro-USB input. It also has an LED flashlight and a power button to turn on/off the flashlight and powerbank.
Functionality & Performance
I've been using this unit for like 3-4 days now and I must say that it did dissapoint me a couple of times but given the price, the performance and the quality is easily acceptable.
Before I started using the powerbank, I charged it to 100% using a Samsung OEM Charger and quite frankly, it charged pretty quickly compared to my other 10,000 mAh powerbank. I didn't get a chance to use the powerbank for next two days and it did hold up nicely too. Clicking the Power Button on third day, it did show me 100% on the inbuilt LCD Panel (with bright blue backlight). Once connected, I was able to charge my iPhone 6 Plus from 10% to 100% in around 160 minutes (2 Hrs, 40 Min). It is important to mention that both the USB outputs have different specification, the one on the left has 1 Amp while the other one has 2.1 Amp output. During my iPhone charging, I was constantly connected to 2.1Amp output. Now, I know that an iPhone may not charge at full 2.1A rate, but if it took 160 minutes, then I'm assuming the charging rate was at approximate 1.1A which is a bit dissapointing.
To check the output of both the ports, I connected an USB amp meter next time and charged the device back to full. For verifying simultanous charging of 2 devices, I connected my S6 Edge+ and Nexus 4 together. Here's a summary of the result:-
The result clearly shows that the 2.1 Amp output doesn't deliver upto it's claims although, my S6 Edge+ was charged faster than the iPhone (about 125 minutes). Another thing that I noticed is that initial drop in the % (displayed on LCD) is much faster but it gradually slows down. So do not worry if just after the first full charge, the value drops to 60%, it did hold up more than 2 times to charge my S6 Edge+ easily. Another good thing about it is that the charging rate isn't affected much even when two devices were charged simultaneously.
About the flashlight, there's nothing extraordinary about it. It's just a casual flashlight for emergencies, do not depend on it while going for a camping or any other dark places.
Pros & Cons
Pros:-
- Good Build Quality
- High Capacity
- Small in size
- Built-in LCD Panel
- 2 USB Outputs
- Built-in Flash Light
- 2-in-1 USB Cable
Cons:-
- Lower Output
- 1 in-box Cable
Overall, it's a decent power bank at a decent price. Even though this one is just 10,000 mAh, MobilePal has one for massive 20,000 mAh battery at just $30.

Tronsmart reached out to me a week back and asked me if I would like to review one of their new products and share my opinion with them. I liked the fact that they didn’t specifically ask me to write good things about the product or highlight only its pros, which many companies do when they offer you a free review product. I decided to do a detailed review of this product and give my honest opinion.
Two days later, I received this Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Certified Tronsmart 54W 5-Port desktop charger (I know! That sounds great). It’s been 4 days since I’m constantly using this with my 5 different devices that need USB charging. Two of my cellphones (S6 Edge+ & Nexus 4), a ZenWatch, a BlueBuds X and a BlueSYNC Bluetooth Speaker (another review product).
Before I start with the review, let’s look at the product page here and see what really does this product claim to do ?
Here’s the list of features mentioned on their website:-
1. Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 technology in one of the ports (distinguished by blue color)
2. VoltIQ – Smart Circuit to identify the power level required for charging each connected device
3. Backward Compatibility – Charge older smartphones which didn’t have high amp charging adapters
4. 54 Watts max output through 5-ports (not each)
5. Ultra Compact
6. Safety Guarantee – No Overcharging, No Overheating and Over Current protection
7. 18-Months worry free warranty
List of items received in the package:-
- The desktop charger
- A Power Cord
- 6 Feet USB Cable
- A Cable tie
- User Manual
Since we have set the base, let’s start the review..
It came in a nice and sleek cardboard package (probably recyclable), the content didn’t seem like shaking at all. The whole package was sealed with a plastic wrapper (which kind of makes the idea of recyclable box dumb). A paper seal would have made more sense here.
Here’s an overlook of the box (I’ve taken out the plastic wrapper already):-

}
Moving on, here are the contents of the box:-
Let’s be frank here. Nobody would actually trust their $900 brand new phone with a third party charger even if it’s a brand like Tronsmart. So, before I connecting this to my Galaxy S6 Edge+ and to make this review really worthwhile, I used this USB Current/Voltage Tester to check the power output of the product and compare it with my original charger. Usually less volt/amp wouldn’t harm your device but a higher power output may have an adverse effect if the device is unable to handle such high power. Even though I was pretty sure a product from brand like Tronsmart wouldn’t do such a thing, but better be safe than sorry… This tester is connected as an interface between the device (S6 Edge+) and the charger and displays power drawn by the connected device.
I connected the tester with my Edge+ and the genuine Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging Adapter. [Adaptive Fast Charging is almost equivalent to Quick Charge 2.0, only major difference being, Adaptive Fast Charging supports 5V and 9V adapters while the Quick Charge also supports 12V along with 5V and 9V. So, there’s the reason for my worry]. So, when connected to the genuine Samsung adapter, S6Edge+ was drawing 1.59Amp at 9.13V.
Next, I connected the tester between the Tronsmart Quick Charge port (Blue colored) and S6Edge+ and Edge+ was drawing 1.62 Amp at 9.00 V. Being a third party adapter, I didn’t really expect such accurate results. I know there is a marginal difference in voltage, but this kind of difference doesn’t matter at all.
Here's the image comparison:-
Galaxy S6 Edge+ can distinguish between a fast charger and a regular charger, so when I connected the Edge+ to a Tronsmart regular port, this is how Samsung tells you that its not utilizing the fast charging:-
Since I’m assured now that my S6 Edge+ is perfectly safe and compatible with this Tronsmart Desktop Charger, I wanted to move on to older devices which draws 1 Amp equivalent current and see if the charger’s VoltIQ detects and delivers the right amount of power. So, I connected my Nexus 4 to an Asus 1 Amp charger and recorded the readings as below: 0.87 Amp at 5.17V.
With Tronsmart Charger connected to the nexus 4, it was pretty amazing to see the following result:-
I didn’t stop there. Ofcourse my trust level has increased significantly on this charger, however, I wanted to go further with devices which draws extremely low current like my Asus ZenWatch and Jaybird BlueBuds X. And again, I was pretty amazed with the results because these devices, specifically my BlueBud X, draws extremely low current, like 0.01A (connected to laptop) and VoltIQ was able to detect just the right amount of Volt and Current for my device. Here’s the result from the test on my ZenWatch, BlueBud X and BlueSYNC Speakers respectively:-
I also verified that the readings are consistent even when all 5 devices are connected simultaneously.
Once I was totally satisfied with the output range it gives, I also wanted to verify the time it takes (the blue port) to charge my S6 Edge+ from 3% to 100%, so I ran a separate test. And again, result isn’t very different from what an actual Samsung Adaptive Fast charger claims to do. Here is the breakup of the charging time of S6 Edge+ from 3% to 100% :-
By now I should have, but I didn’t stop here either. I connected 5 devices to all 5 ports and have been doing the same for last 4 days to test if the charger heats up and trust me, it doesn’t even a bit. It’s been performing well and it stays cool. And it cleaned up the mess I had with 5 different charges connected to an extension.
Overall, I’m extremely pleased with this charger’s performance and the build quality definitely looks nice with good finishing. It doesn’t look like cheap plastic item at all. And I’m sure there’s no point in telling this since nobody would probably carry this in their daily bags, but this thing is really small. Look at the image below comparing it with credit card sized gift card.
Finally, here’s my pros and cons list for this item:-
Pros:
1. Fast Charging with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Certification and compatibility with Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging
2. Smart enough to detect all my device power limits - VoltIQ (this is what makes it useful)
3. High Power output even in regular ports (helps charging high end smartphone devices faster which doesn’t support Qualcomm QC2.0 or Adaptive Fast Charging)
4. No heat
5. Very Compact
6. 18 Months Warranty (should be enough for the money you pay for this one)
Cons:-
1. No LED to show charger is turned ON (personal preference)
2. Only 1 USB Cable inside box
3. Power Cord could have been longer
I know the cons section isn’t really applicable to everyone; it’s just my personal preference. However, if anybody asks me, I would definitely suggest this product in a heartbeat. It’s very cheap too. I know there are more such brands like Anker or Aukey, but I haven’t reviewed them, I reviewed this one and I’m totally satisfied.
Here’s a video review I created earlier:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR8W9ozZgAs
*Please note that the readings of the first day (when I made the video) and the day when I wrote the review aren't going to match accurately due to reasons like % of charging. However, the values are approximately same and the difference can easily ignored.
Will consider this for my next purchase. Thanks for the detailed review :good:
After a 54W Desktop Charger a few weeks back, this is my second review unit from Tronsmart. It's been 6 days since I'm using this product and I'm definitely inclined towards writing another great review on their product.
Before I start with the review, here's the product listing on Amazon
Like most of my reviews, I'll split this up in following categories:-
1. Packaging & Content
2. Build Quality & Design
3. Functionality
4. Pros & Cons
I'll go through each of them, one at a time.
Packaging & Content
The Tronsmart Rapid Car charger came well packed in a colorful display box with every detail written all over it. Unlike last time, this box isn't one of those recyclable brown boxes but this one do give an impression of a renowned brand too. And there's seal on the box (It's kind of important to me).

Following are the in-box items you get:-
- Tronsmart Rapid Charger ( 2 x USB Output )
- 2 x USB Cables (premium quality)
- User Manual
- VoltIQ Info Card
Even if it makes sense to give 2 USB cables since the Rapid Charger has 2 USB Outputs, honestly, I didn't expect that. And both the cables are premium built and long enough to use confortably even while charging (unless you have cigerette lighter port located somewhere far away from the dashboard). Infact, as per Tronsmart, the USB cables are custom made standardized 20AWG cables (thick cable for less voltage drop and strength) specifically designed for Quick Charge 2.0 Ports.
Moving on to the next category...
Build Quality & Design
I'm very picky when it comes to design & build and let me say this outloud, so far, Tronsmart hasn't dissapointed me at all. The rapid charger's quality feels top notch and I couldn't find any flaw in the finishing of the product either. With it's matte black surface, green colored USB Ports and engraved brand name, the charger looks absolutely gorgious. Look at the images and decide for yourselves:-
Overall, this is a beautiful charger which is small (for a 2-Port charger), very light and yet feels very sturdy in hand.
Functionality
Inspite of it's small size, this rapid charger packs 2 USB Outputs with both having Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Certification. In other words, it's a tiny powerhouse which can charge 2 of your power hungry USB devices rapidly and simultanously. The specification on Amazon listing claims that this charger can charge 2 QC2 devices simultanously at 9V/2A (max) and for non QC devices 5V/2.4A (max). With that said, one must know that a phone incapable of handling such high power (mostly old phones) might be adversely affected due to high current/voltage flow. And that's where VoltIQ comes into play.
The VoltIQ
The voltIQ is a smart circuit that controls the flow of current and voltage by identifying the connected device and it's maximum supported power input. For example, a 3 years old Nexus 4 doesn't support rapid charging and it could draw only upto 5V/1.25A (avg) max power. Even, the genuine adapter that came with it had rated output of 5V/1.2A. So what happens if I connect it to Tronsmart Rapid Car Charger ? No, it certainly doesn't damage the battery of nexus 4 thanks to VoltIQ which detects that the device can draw only upto 5V/1.2A and delivers the same power for efficient charging. Similarly, when a rapid charging capable device is connected, the charger delivers an optimum fast charging output to charge that device at a much faster rate.
To validate the claims made by VoltIQ, I tested the review unit with an iPhone 6 Plus, S6 Edge+, ZenWatch and Bluebux X. Following are the results of the OEM charger output and Tronsmart Rapid Car Charger:-
Although I'm more than satisfied with the performance of this tiny charger, there's one thing that I'm not fully convinced about. The Amazon description of the product says this adapter would deliver upto 5V/2.4A for Apple products, however, my iPhone could only draw 5.12V/1.15A which is significantly lesser than the power advertised. But then again, the description could have been for an iPad since I know the iPad comes with a higher power rated adapter compared to an iPhone. I'm just going to ignore this because my iPhone is charging faster than it's original adapter(Yes, iPhone 6 Plus supports fast charging via iPad's adapter).
Update [9/19/2015]: Just heard back from Tronsmart. Here's what they said on charging Apple products:-
Because VoltIQ technology will automatically detect the demanding current for the devices needed. For the iPhone 6 with empty battery capacity, Tronsmart charger will offer the largest currect 1.5A, for iPhone 6 Plus, the largest current offered is 1.8A, and for iPad, the largest current is 2.4A. So in the description it says this adapter would deliver upto 5V/2.4A for Apple products.
When I was charging the iPhone 6 Plus, the current drawn initially was 1.25A (at 90% battery charged) and finally settled for 1.15A (at 93% charged) few minutes later. So the explanation do make sense. As I suspected earlier, only the iPad utilizes the full potential of this charger but either way, the iPhone 6 Plus charges way faster than it's original adapter and it's battery is definitely not affected since it supports fast charging (high current input) - source
Overall, if you're looking for an affordable car charger, this is the way to go. And if 2 ports aren't enough to juice up all of your devices while you travel, you can look into several other Tronsmart Accessories which offer upto 4 USB Outputs on a Car Charger.
Still looking for a external battery that either has QC 2.0 on more than one port, or on one port with all others charging at up to at least 2.1A

I doubt you could find such a external battery, 1 QC 2.0 port(18w) + 2.1A port(11) = 29W output, it would generate too much heat with a case on.

Yeah, Right! Pardon me, I didn't read the complete comment. Just posted a url for QC 2.0 powerbank!

Ordered me one of these and then I came across this review... Nice.
It's been some time since I've reviewed another Tronsmart product. I got this Tronsmart 3-Port Wall Charger as a review unit almost 3 weeks back and I didn't get enough time to write the review since then. On the brighter side, I'm using this for 3 weeks now, so I can probably be more precise while writing it now. So here it goes...
I'll be splitting it up in following 4 categories and talk about each of them one by one:-
- Packaging & Content
- Build Quality & Design
- Functionality
- Pros & Cons
Packaging & Content
Tronsmart has never dissapointed me in this category, so I do not have much to say here. It comes in one of those recyclable brown box with a printed cover wrapped around it.

On opening the box, you can expect the following items:-
- 3-port USB Wall Charger (TS-WC3PC)
- 1 x 6 ft USB Cable (20 AWG)
- User Manual
- VoltIQ Information Card
One thing to notice here is, even though it has 3-ports, it comes with only 1 USB Cable. So, if you're buying it, make sure you have that many spare cables to use it with.
Build Quality & Design
If you're one of those who can't withstand a product with bad finishing, you and I are no different. Luckily Tronsmart understands us and give its products the best quality in terms of material used and overall surface finishing. Here's a look:-
The quality is absolutely fantastic. What makes it even better is its folding type plug which also makes it easy to carry around. It has a green power LED. From the size perspective, it's very small, not OEM Charger small though, but tiny enough to hold it in your palm. Here's a comparison between a Samsung OEM Charger and the Tronsmart 3-Port Wall Charger:-
The in-box USB Cable is a 20 AWG (for high current flow), very durable 6 ft long cable which should do a descent job if the device is to be used while charging.
Functionality
The unit has 3 USB outputs out of which, only one port supports quick charge output at 12V/1.5A while the other two ports are powered at 5V/2.4A each with VoltIQ Technology.
While reviewing the unit, I connected 3 of my mobile phones simultanously to check it's output. First I connected the USB Amp meter to the Quick Charge output which is connected to my Galaxy S6 Edge+. The total power drawn was around 14.76W which is definitely an output we can expect from a fast charger.
Next, I connected the USB Amp meter to a regular port which is powering my Nexus 4. One of the reasons for using a Nexus 4 here is to validate how much current is drawn since Nexus 4 is pretty old device and as far as I've seen, it draws only upto 5V/1A even from its OEM Charger. Like we can see below, the total power drawn is just 5.05W which is almost equivalent to 5V/1A and this ensures me that the VoltIQ is not just a marketing gimmick. I also turned on the display of Galay S6 Edge+ to validate that it is utilizing the fast charging even with all 3 devices connected simultanously (See the Fast Charing in notification ?).
Now, everything was good till this moment except when I went pull back the charger from the socket after an hour, it was HOT. Not burning hot, but you'll definitely feel it when you touch it. Not that it affected any of my devices (none of the 3 devices heated up during charging). It's the same common problem with all the small multi-port quick charge adapters available (3rd party) on Amazon. I did contact Tronsmart regarding the same and they told me that since the adapter is so small, heat dissipation is slow and they assured me that their chargers have passed CE ,ROHS,FCC, PSE etc certifications of conformity and the temperature exhibited is within the safety standard range.
Pros & Cons
Pros:-
- 2 x High Power Output + 1 x Quick Charge Output
- Superb build quality
- Small size with retractable Plugs
- Long and durable USB Cable
Cons:-
- Heats up quickly
- Only 1 in-box USB Cable

My Review :
I got this power bank for £29.99 from amazon and i think its worth every single penny. And I really like the high quality build of this power bank with matt finish. It charge my phone in 1 hour 45 minute from 0 to 100(S6 ) and This power bank’s high power capacity makes it great for charging multiple devices, especially considering its USB charging speed 2.1A output.And it allows me to charge my phone 3 time from 0 to 100.
The first thing you notice about this unit is it’s size ,weight and it cool designee . Believe me at this point I thought there is no way this device roughly the size of a smart phone could possibly jump starter my car. I've always used a heavy, bulky and cumbersome 18kg jump starter/battery pack, so it's hard to believe something measuring just 18 x 8.5 x 4.5cm and weighing 617g (vs 18kg!) can perform the same role - but it does!! I tested this unit on a standard car battery AND a van battery and both started perfectly ON ONE CHARGE!!
I've now used a few of these compact jump starters, been impressed by the performance of them all and they have each started our 1.6 Citroen Berlingo, 2.0 Diesel Renault Laguna and 1.4 petrol Megane. Of them all, however, this one seems to be the best, most powerful and it's the only one to include a red warning lamp to indicate a hazard - essential for roadside breakdowns.

Tronsmart is a new chinese company that emerged in the last few month and is seen more and more, while their main product line was android and windows based media boxs, they moved to chargers as well.
In The BoxThe box itself is simple white looking, nothing fancy but i don't want it to be anyway... don't judge a book by it's cover or a charger by its box.
In the box itself we can find:
the charger
power cable

The biggest issue i have with this is the fact that Tronsmart decided not to include any USB cables with the charger, while most of the users will have their own cable, it's still something i would want to see, considering their other products come with a charger.
SpecificationsThe main feature of the Titan is the 5 ports that supports qualcomm's quick charge 2.0, not something you see every day with a charger.

This isn't the smallest of lightest charging station around, but it is the only one i know that has 5!!! QC2.0 ports, and while it might be considered an overkill (who has 5 QC supporting devices anyway?) it isn't one once you think about it, more and more devices support QC or QC compatible charging technologies (an Asus Zen2 worked with QC charger for me) and for someone who has many devices in the house this is the perfect solution.
Closer LookThe charger itself in my case is black with rough finish on the top with only the sides and the logo smooth (and attract finger prints)
In the front we find 5 green USB ports that match the green led indicator on the top right side of the charger.
On the bottom there are 4 small rubber legs that prevent it from moving on the table and on the back we find the power port and ON/OFF switch.
Charging TestsI did my tests with both my note 4 and 5 with the 4 being my "old" device and was tested without a working sim (so no interruptions) compared to my "new" 5 that was tested while having a sim.
I used BATTERY LOG to log the charging state and time.
well, with the note 5 we can see that more or less both the original samsung "quick charge" and the Titan do the same great job having in both cases charge the device from 3% to 60% in 35 minutes, a bit over the claimed 0-60 in 30minutes but this was a "live" working devices, still good in my book.
The note 4 tests (with 2 small issues... started at 5% and missed 70%) we find a big difference after the 60% mark, with 10 minute difference at 70% and almost an hour at 100%.
In both cases the Titan work as well or even better then the original charger.
Final WordsWhile not everyone need a 5 port QC charger, it is still something that is good to have if you own several devices at home, that fact that all of the ports are QC2.0, this tech in getting into more and more devices so we might see if more often later on.
for the current price of about ~38$ it's not the cheapest charging station but far from being the expensive one with the fact that it has 5 ports and a 90W behind them.
