With the rise in Smartphone features, the requirement for battery is also increased. There are many Smartphone's that are not very well equipped with battery that can offer you a full extreme usage for an entire day. The battery on high usage is limited to 4 to 6 hours. And if you are using your device for gaming, then the battery life is lot lower. Here having a good and reliable power bank can help you to extend your device usage without worrying much about battery life. There are various models in the market that comes in different shapes and battery size. And the price also differs. If you want a serious power bank that can give you long battery life with a few extra features then Asiapower Powerbank AP-10400A is worth to check. This model brings a 10400 mAH battery capacity that can hold upto 10hours of battery life. You can charge multiple devices with this charger at a single time.

It is an effective charger with multiple charging ports. To fill it completely you have to connect the charger atleast for 6 hours and max 8 hours.

Design:

Asiapower AP-10400A has a decent look. It comes in black color with multiple usb ports where you can charge upto 5 devices at a single time. And this can be done by having an usb extender. You can connect 4 port usb hub to the power bank and charge multiple devices which will surely work. It takes a bit time to completely charge the power bank. At around 6 hours it will load maximum battery. The best part here is that it has as screen where you can see the charging left. So that it won't be tough for you to find out what is the minimum or maximum battery level. Due to high charging capacity, it is a thick and heavy charger. Ideal to keep in your bag.

Top/Bottom:

There is a small LCD screen on the top side that gives all basic type of information that we need for using the power bank. Like when you press the power button once it turns on and shows you the amount of battery left. In the same way when you connect the power bank to pc for charging it shows you the total amount of charging loaded in percentage. It is a blue backlight light with battery indicator.

Sides:

At the left there is a torch that turns on when you hit the power button two times. This torch can be a useful utility when you are trying to search something. A power button is placed on the right side. Handling is easy due to its thick size. But it is better to keep the same in our bag. It has a slippery surface.

Front/Back:

At the front there are three ports. There are two usb ports for Smartphone and tablet charging and a single micro usb port for the power bank charging. One good thing about this power bank is that the usb ports are not limited to some devices. It can charge upto 5 devices at a time. Two ports are very useful. But the cable provided in the box is single. Asiapower AP-10400A is a reasonable high capacity power bank. The design is nice here with glossy finish and mostly it is plastic on the cover. It is not a durable charger. And also it is not waterproof. So avoid carrying it in rain or near water.

Performance:

Asiapower AP-10400A works well once it is full charged. 10400mAH is a high capacity power which is capable of holding more than 8hrs of battery life. Depending on your Smartphone usage, you can charge it anytime when you need. You can just connect your phone to the charger and keep it aside for few hours. It will get loaded up and you can later use it. Once you have such a high capacity charger you have to worry less about battery usage. You can play games, watch HD movies, use portable wifi hotspot, etc. Small size makes it portable and handy to carry. I still did not found it comfortable keeping in pocket due to its thick design. The LCD screen is one of the biggest plus point of Asiapower AP-10400A. You can find out the amount of power left anytime and put it on charging.

Conclusion:

Asiapower AP-10400A is an affordable power bank. The power bank comes for Rs.1500 approx. The cost on the box is marked around Rs.3000. But after searching on few eCommerce sites I found some seller, selling it for Rs.1500. So this is the cost I am going to consider. It is a good choice under the low cost budget. There are other portable charges also but you won't be getting a nice LCD screen showing battery percentage on the same. AsiaPower must add more usb cables in the package of power bank so that we can charge Apple and few Samsung devices also. There is one single micro usb cable only.

Pros:
