QUICK SPECS What: Asus ZenPower Power Bank At a glance: 10050mAh battery, 'credit card' size, battery level indicator USP: Quick charge, sturdy build quality Best buy: ₹1,598 on Flipkart Rating: ****

Every year, you pick from a selection of shiny new smartphones — ones that claim to produce billboard-quality photos, are waterproof, or have screens that spill over the sides. But even with price tags that require you to brace for minor heart attacks, there's one issue they cannot seem to fix — battery life. Ergo, smartphones haven't just spawned an industry for apps, but for power banks as well.

What's good: Here's a thumb rule that seems to hold true for power banks in general — the bigger the size, the more effective it is. So, if you're thinking of going for one of those cheese-stick-sized devices flooding the low-end market, don't. They might keep a dying phone alive for a bit, but won't recharge them completely, or fast enough. The ZenPower delivers splendidly in this department — it charges your smartphone entirely and is as fast as a plug-in charger. It also charged our Nexus 5, thrice on one charge. Another convenient feature is the charge indicator — four little white lights in a row. Also, the brushed metal body makes it look classy.

There’s nothing much to say in terms of design. It looks premium, sleek and neat. It does not look complicated and serves it purpose pretty well. The ZenPower Pro weighs at 230g and 22mm in thickness. I have tried slotting it in my pocket and it looks as though you’re having a cigarette box. There’s two USB slots for you to charge your devices. As usual, you can charge this Powerbank with any micro USB charging cable that you have. There’s 4-level LED power lights which indicates the level of juice left within the ZenPower Pro. In addition, there’s also a LED flashlight which might come handy in the dark. Lastly, there’s the usual power button for you to press whenever needed to activate the Powerbank and to check on the remaining power left. Yup, this Powerbank does get activated automatically the moment you connect the USB cable to the device that needs to get charged.

Features

The ZenPower Pro has a capacity of 10050mAh with the rated capacity set at 6400mAh. (Rated Capacity = Power Bank Battery Capacity x Battery Voltage 3.7V / voltage boost 5V x Conversion Efficiency). The selling point of this PowerBank will be it’s Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 support which charges your smartphone up to 60% within 30 minutes. If you have a smartphone which supports Quick Charge 2.0, this PowerBank utilizes this technology and charges your device at the same speed the original charging adapter provides.

The LED Flashlight on the ZenPower Pro uses 70-lumen LED that has a cool temperature of 5000K. Of course, it comes in two different modes- high intensity mode and power saving mode. When things get too dark, use the high intensity mode while when you need a little light during selfie, use the power saving mode. In order to turn on the LED Flashlight, you have to press and hold the power button for 2 seconds. To enable the power-saving mode, tap power button twice when the LED flashlight is on.

This Powerbank has an intelligent safety technology (JEITA) which monitors ambient temperatures and adjusts the charging current and voltage accordingly. This ensures the ZenPower Pro to be much safer and yet longer lasting as this technology extends the life of this Powerbank.

It takes about 6 hours to fully charge the ASUS ZenPower Pro with a 2A charger while it takes about 9 hours with a 1A charger. Simultaneous charging on both USB ports will be able to output 23.5W per hour. The QuickCharge 2.0 features works on USB Port 1 (DC 5.1V/2.4A (Max) or 9.1 V2.0A or 12.1V/1.5A- QuickCharge 2.0) only while the USB Port 2 is limited to a max of DC 5.1V/2.4A. The only way to differentiate between USB Port 1 and USB Port 2 will be the “Silver-ish trim” on the edges of USB Port 1.

Price & Availability

The ASUS ZenPower Pro ABTU010 is priced at RM 129 inclusive of GST and will be available at authorized retailers by end of July. The original box will have the “ECS ASTAR SDN. BHD.” sticker on the back. In terms of color, there will be Black, Silver-Gray and Pink made available in Malaysia.

Conclusion

I have always used PowerBank the way most people will use, to just charge my device when in need. I never gave any priority to the features and was not aware of it either. Since I started using the ASUS ZenPower Pro on my Quick Charge 2.0 enabled smartphone, I find it to save a lot of time and there’s no need to carry the original wall charger together when I travel. There’s no need to look for your smartphone in order to use a flashlight anymore as the ZenPower got your back covered. For a Powerbank which is pocket-friendly and light-weight, the ASUS ZenPower Pro is a wise choice to accompany your smartphone especially the one which supports quick charging.
