A power bank is no longer just about battery capacity, but also a whole range of additional features. For example, the Vinga 10000 mAh 22.5W/15W/2.5W Wireless (VPBB1022WL) offers a substantial output power of 22.5W, two USB Type-C ports, a built-in cable for connecting devices, a foldable stand, and wireless charging with Qi standard.

Moreover, the power bank itself charges relatively quickly thanks to the support of 18W input power. For such a set of features combined with a battery capacity of 10,000 mAh. How it looks and works in practice — we'll try to figure it out further.

Specification

Packaging and Supply Kit

The box is quite informative, and the translation into Ukrainian is done well. It also states a 1-year warranty period, while the device's shelf life is 3 years.

The kit includes a booklet with useful information. For example, it mentions that during use, the device should not contact the human body for more than 10 seconds — which is obviously related to the presence of wireless charging.

Appearance and Functional Features

The design of the Vinga 10000 mAh 22.5W/15W/2.5W Wireless (VPBB1022WL) resembles other devices from the manufacturer. Familiar gray smooth matte plastic with the Vinga logo and rounded edges...

...is combined here with a darker and more textured material on the back of the device.

However, there is also an unusual round element — a pad for Qi wireless charging with a power of up to 15W. The induction zone in the middle is intended for charging iWatch with a power of up to 2.5W.

Below is a support that allows the device to lie flat on the table. Next to it is the usual list of ports with their input and output power values.

On the top edge, there is a screen to display the battery charge level in percentage.

This display placement is chosen for a reason, as it is well visible even when using the foldable stand, which allows the device to be set at an angle.

Next to it is a USB-C port and a 20-centimeter cable with a similar connector. Each of them can output power up to 22.5W and be used to charge the internal battery with a power of up to 18W.

On one of the sides, there is another necessary element of every power bank — a button to check the charge level.

Meanwhile, the other side and the bottom edge are devoid of any significant elements.

Thus, the Vinga 10000 mAh 22.5W/15W/2.5W Wireless (VPBB1022WL) is a fairly compact power bank with dimensions of 112 × 71 × 18 mm and a weight of 223 g, which can always be at hand. Moreover, you always have a cable, wireless charging, and an additional USB-C with you, which sets it apart from simpler devices.

Testing

Let's move on to the tests. The actual battery capacity at a voltage of 12.2V and a discharge current of 0.17-0.23A is 34.6 Wh. This value is very close to the declared 38 Wh, obtained when discharging with a lower voltage of 5V. Overall, this is an expected indicator for a device with a nominal capacity of 10,000 mAh.

A full battery charge requires about 50 Wh and takes almost 3.5 hours using an 18-watt adapter (9 V, 2 A).

Additionally, it was able to power a laptop with a power consumption of about 24 W — which even slightly exceeds the stated output power. In this mode, the power bank will provide about 1.5 hours of autonomous operation. At the same time, no significant heating of the case was observed. By the way, the manufacturer claims the presence of overheating and overcharge protections.

Still, using the Vinga VPBB1022WL for charging gadgets or powering a portable router seems more optimal — in this case, the charge will last for 10-15 hours of operation.

The presence of two USB ports allows simultaneous charging of the internal battery and the gadget connected to the power bank. After disconnecting the external power, the process is briefly interrupted and then automatically resumes.

Conclusions

The power bank Vinga 10000 mAh 22.5W/15W/2.5W Wireless (VPBB1022WL) made a positive impression due to its functional features. The considerable output power of 22.5 W allows powering even a not too energy-consuming laptop, not to mention a tablet, smartphone, or router. The capacity matches the stated value, and the useful value is about 6000 mAh — this is enough to maintain the autonomy of your favorite gadget throughout the day. In turn, the input power of 18 W provides a full battery charge in approximately 3.5 hours.

The price of the tested device was significantly influenced by the presence of Qi wireless charging with a power of up to 15 W or 2.5 W for small electronics. Therefore, such a mobile battery will be most interesting to owners of devices with this function. Otherwise, for a similar amount, it would be more logical to purchase a model with a larger capacity and higher output power.

Another bonus is the presence of two USB Type-C ports, one of which is represented by a built-in cable that will always be at hand. It is also worth noting the foldable stand and built-in display for charge control.

In conclusion, Vinga 10000 mAh 22.5W/15W/2.5W Wireless is not a leader in capacity, but primarily a universal and functional power bank that offers many useful features for its price.
