Need portable power that’s not bulky but still packs a punch? A Cygnett 10000mAh Power Bank hits the sweet spot. It's small enough to slide into your pocket or bag, but powerful enough to charge your phone up to two or three times.
It's just what you need to power through the workday, jump between meetings, head to a festival, or take on a long train ride with confidence.
Plus, with USB-C, USB-A, and even wireless charging options available, it’s no wonder 10000mAh Power Banks are some of our best sellers.
Should I get a 10000mAh or 20000mAh Power Bank?
A 20000mAh Power Bank offers double the battery capacity, making it ideal if you’re travelling for days or need to charge a laptop. But for most people, the 10000mAh Power Bank is perfect.
This portable charger wins in both portability and practicality. The 10000mAh size is easier to carry around daily. Plus, it gives you up to 2.6 phone charges, depending on your device. That's more than enough to get you through your day without hunting for a power supply.
It's especially ideal for:
- Charging on the bus or train
- Staying powered during a workday
- Keeping your iPhone topped up during long events
- Giving your Bluetooth earbuds and tablet a quick recharge at uni
Is a 10000mAh power bank fast charging?
The charging speed will depend on the Power Bank output (measured in watts) and your device. In general, you need at least 20W of output to fast-charge a smartphone. Larger devices like iPads and laptops need higher wattages.
Many Cygnett 10000mAh Power Banks support fast charging with USB-C ports delivering outputs up to 45W. They’re also equipped with fast-charging technologies like USB-C Power Delivery (PD) or GaN for safer top-ups.
However, keep in mind that 10,000mAh may not be enough to fully charge a laptop, especially high-capacity ones like the MacBook Pro.
Picking the perfect Power Bank for your everyday use
Not sure how to pick the right 10000mAh model for you? Here's a quick guide on what to look for:
- Wireless charging: MagSafe-compatible wireless Power Banks give you cable-free charging for newer Apple and Android phones.
- Ports: USB-C input/output is essential, and having at least one USB-A port is a bonus for older devices.
- Multiple device charging: Some Power Banks let you charge up to three devices at once.
- Digital display: Models like our new Encore Series have LED displays that let you check remaining battery and charging status with a quick glance.
- Built-in cables: Handy if you forget your USB-C cable or Lightning cable. Our ChargeUp Pocket, for instance, has built-in USB-C and Lightning cables, perfect for both old and new Apple devices.
- Recharge speed: Some models support fast input via USB-C, so your Power Bank recharges in less time.
- Safety features: Look for built-in protection against overcharging, overheating and short circuits.
- Compatibility: Make sure it works with all your devices.
How long does a 10000mAh Power Bank last?
A 10000mAh Power Bank can give you:
- Around 2.5 full charges for an iPhone 12 or 13
- Up to 2.6 charges for Samsung Galaxy models
- Around 1.5 charges for a standard iPad
- Multiple recharges for earbuds or Bluetooth headphones
Keep in mind, actual performance depends on your device’s battery size, the Power Bank’s output (USB-C or USB-A), and how many devices you’re charging at once.
If your Power Bank has fast charging functionality and smart power management, it can be even more efficient. Bonus points if it has a digital display to help you keep track of battery levels and output usage.
Can I bring a 10000mAh Power Bank on a plane in Australia?
Yes, you can. In fact, a 10000mAh Power Bank is carry-on approved for most airlines flying in and out of Australia. Because it’s under the 100Wh (about 27,000mAh) airline limit, you’re free to pack it in your hand luggage.
But make sure to always check with your airline before flying. Some carriers may have specific rules or require you to declare your portable Power Bank at check-in. These rules can also change from time to time, so make sure to confirm your airline’s policies on the day of your flight.
Due to safety concerns, most airlines also ban the use of Power Banks during flights. If you don’t want to get caught with a dead battery before landing, make sure to fully charge your devices before boarding.
