VRURC T6S Electric Power Bank Review
The T6S is a small power bank with a striking appearance. The light pink color of my review unit is certainly shocking, and the small rainbow stripes add a nice accent to the overall finish. It also comes in black, white and light blue finishes.
I’m not sure about the reason for the digital camera design 20 years ago, but it does make it fun, retro charm. The artificial camera lens also cleverly doubles it as an LED display, although it only shows the T6S’ battery level, nothing else.
T6s are very compact for 10K power banks, shorter and thinner than some The best power bank Have the same capacity. However, in terms of depth, it is thick so some people may struggle to keep it comfortably in their pockets. The weight can also be a bit heavy for this carry-on style, although it’s still not what I’m talking about.
It doesn’t have any type of interface, except for the very discreet power button hidden on the back, it’s flush with the chassis and done in the same color to avoid damaging the T6S’s contours.
There are two USB-C ports and a lightning port, all of which act as inputs except the output. However, the Lightning port and adjacent USB-C port are heavily recessed and the opening is too small to fit any of my many spare cables. Thankfully, the other USB-C ports on the other side are not embedded, so there is no problem here.
The T6 comes with a USB-C to light cable that fits these slots like a glove. At first, this connection type threw me away because I couldn’t see this. Then I realized it was actually versatile and could charge a USB-C device by plugging the end of the lightning into a bank or an older case apple The device is plugged into the USB-C terminal.
What’s more, since these inputs are adjacent to each other, you can plug in the ends of the cable to create a carry loop, thanks to a safe fit of durable cable material and ports. However, the disadvantage of this cable is its short length, so you need the device next to the T6S when charging.
All ports can charge 20W PD and can also charge three-way simultaneously. I managed to charge my 4,385mah Google The pixel 7a uses the included Lightning-to-USB-C cable from half to full load in just over an hour, which is a great performance.
However, the T6S’ battery drained 40% in the process, which is impressive and does not seem to make sound at a capacity of 10,000mAh. The other electric banks I’ve tested are the same, while the same capacity is down by about a third, and I hope it will be close to two full fees compared to me. It takes about four hours to charge the bank itself, which is about the average of its size.
Given its portability, fun appearance and clever cable, the T6S is just over £20, representing good value. Other power banks at this price offer similar features, but not many have the same quirky style as the T6S, so if this is important to you in power banks, there aren’t many people who can match the T6 in that respect.
