Aukey 30000 PowerBank Review, Don’t Let its Price or Looks Fool You And This Battery Pack Does it All

Note: The following is part of a roundup of USB-C battery packs.The Aukey 30000mAh Type-C Power Bank ($35.99 on eBay) is a mixed experience. On the one hand, it offers accurate Quick Charge 3.0 support with a C-C port. On the other hand, its giant 30,000mAh (111) battery could be more efficient. During the discharge test, the power bank reported 89.10 of power released, amounting to 80.27% efficiency. It’s a decent number, but it could be better out of the bunch. If you’ve ever picked up a brick, you already know the battery pack’s overall shape, size, and weight. Aukey more or less slapped a plastic housing around the internal batteries circuitry and called it a day.

The Ports

On the top of the pack is a power button, which you’ll need to press before the pack begins charging any connected devices. If you continue holding the button in, a small flashlight turns on, helping you find your way in the dark. At first, the thought of a small light being built into a battery pack is a bit puzzling. But after more thought, I can see the value in having a flashlight built into a battery pack during a power outage. The first thing I usually reach for is a flashlight, followed by a battery pack.
The front of the pack has four ports. A USB-C port for charging other devices and a micro USB port for charging the pack only. And then two standard USB-A ports. The orange-colored port is the QC 3.0 port. The green color port is a standard 5V/2.4A charging port. The ports work as advertised, triggering QC 3.0 on the G5. And rapidly charging the Pixel X using the USB-C port. Charging the power bank took 9:43, beating the similarly sized Tough-priced pack by nearly 4 hours.
Included with the pack is a USB-A to USB-C cable.
