SKA PC1010 Ultra Compact 10000mAh Power Bank Review

The SKA PC1010 Ultra Compact 10000mAh Power Bank promises high-speed charging in a remarkably small package. After several weeks of rigorous testing, charging various devices, and pushing its limits, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This little power bank surprised me in several ways, both positively and negatively.

The PC1010 boasts several key features: its compact size (a true marvel of engineering!), a digital LED display for precise battery level monitoring, and support for both Power Delivery (PD) via USB-C and Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 (QC 3.0) via USB-A. This allows for versatile charging of a wide range of devices. The built-in smart chip is a welcome addition, promising protection against overcharging and overheating.

The SKA PC1010’s charging speed is impressive. I tested it with both my iPhone 13 and Samsung Galaxy S22. Both phones charged quickly, noticeably faster than with standard chargers. The 22.5W output truly lives up to its “Super-Fast Charging” claim. The LCD display is also a useful feature, providing a clear indication of the remaining battery life. However, I did find the single charging port slightly limiting. Having the ability to charge two devices simultaneously would have greatly enhanced its practicality. While the advertised 10000mAh capacity seems accurate, the actual usable capacity is somewhat lower, a common occurrence with power banks due to energy conversion losses.

The compact size is a definite plus, easily fitting into a pocket or bag. The build quality feels solid, and the included carry pouch adds to its portability and protection. The device has also performed well across many charging cycles without any signs of degradation.

Pros:

  • Fast charging speeds
  • Compact and lightweight design
  • Accurate digital LED display
  • Solid build quality
  • Included carry pouch

Cons:

  • Only one charging port
  • Slightly lower than advertised usable capacity
  • Overall, the SKA PC1010 is a solid power bank. Its fast charging capabilities and compact design make it an excellent choice for anyone needing a reliable portable power source. The single charging port is a drawback, but the speed and convenience it offers still outweigh this limitation for my personal use. I’d recommend it to those who prioritize speed and portability above all else.
