40,000mAh Power Bank FD5656 Review: Ultra High Capacity Portable Charger
For weeks, I’ve been putting the FD5656 40,000mAh power bank through its paces. This behemoth promises to keep multiple devices charged on even the longest adventures, and I’ve been testing that claim in various scenarios – from long road trips to weekend camping excursions. This review delves into its performance, features, and overall value.
The FD5656 boasts a considerable 40,000mAh capacity, which, on paper, should provide ample power. Beyond sheer capacity, it offers several key features:
- Fast Charging: The advertised fast-charging capabilities were a major draw. I tested it with several devices, and the speed was generally impressive.
- Multiple Ports: The inclusion of both USB-A and USB-C ports is a significant plus, allowing for simultaneous charging of multiple devices with different charging requirements.
- LCD Power Display: The LCD display offers a clear indication of the remaining power, eliminating the guesswork.
- Durable Design: The power bank’s build quality felt robust, with a casing that seemed resistant to minor bumps and scratches. It’s noticeably weighty, reflecting its significant capacity.

In real-world use, the FD5656 largely lived up to its promises. I successfully charged my phone (multiple times), tablet, and even topped up my portable Bluetooth speaker on a single charge. The fast-charging feature noticeably sped up charging times compared to other power banks I’ve used. The LCD display was consistently accurate, proving invaluable in gauging remaining charge.
However, I did encounter a minor issue. During a particularly demanding charging session (simultaneously charging three devices), the power bank got noticeably warm. While not excessively hot, it did raise some concerns about potential overheating under sustained heavy load.
Charging the FD5656 itself took a considerable amount of time, reflecting its large battery capacity. While this is expected, it’s something to keep in mind for planning.
Pros:
- Massive capacity (40,000mAh)
- Fast charging capabilities
- Multiple charging ports (USB-A & USB-C)
- Accurate LCD display
- Durable build
Cons:
- Gets warm under heavy load
- Long recharge time
- Weighty
Overall, the FD5656 40,000mAh power bank is a powerful and reliable device. While the warmth under heavy load and the lengthy recharge time are minor drawbacks, the sheer capacity and fast-charging capabilities make it an excellent choice for travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone needing extended power on the go. I would recommend it to those who prioritize capacity and charging speed above absolute portability and instantaneous recharge times.
