A thin 5,000mAh power bank with its own cables and fold-out wall prongs, so you never need a charging block.
I have so many plain silver and black power banks that I picked this one partly for its color. It’s a 5,000mAh bank from Heloideo with a granite-like finish, built-in USB-C cables and prongs that fold out so you can plug it right into an outlet. Built-in cables and prongs are a huge deal for me. The exact listing is gone, so the button goes to a similar slim 5,000mAh bank with built-in cables and an AC plug.
- Built-in prongs, so no charging block needed
- Built-in USB-C cables
- Can also charge over USB from a computer or solar panel
- Slim, light and comfortable in the hand
- Nice-looking stone texture
- Prongs are stiff at first
- 5,000mAh is a top-up, not a multi-day bank

First look
It comes with an instruction book and a light brown drawstring pouch that is more than big enough, and you can throw a cable in it too.
The finish looks like granite, a matte texture that looks like stone. I haven’t seen anything like it. There are three LEDs and a slightly recessed power button.
Prongs and cables
The prongs fold out so you can plug the bank right into an outlet. They’re pretty stiff, but I assume they’ll soften up with time. I love not needing a separate cable or block to recharge it.
USB-C cables flip out of the sides, one for input and one for output. So you can charge it from a USB port or a charging block, or even off a solar panel. There are also two regular USB ports for micro-USB, Lightning or whatever cable you have.
About the buy link
The Amazon listing from my video now returns a 404. The button goes to the miisso Ultra Slim 5,000mAh power bank, which also has built-in cables and an AC wall plug. It’s a different brand, so check the listing for its exact ports.
In the hand
Press the power button and it shows the charge, about two of three lights when I got it. It’s slimmer and lighter than I thought it would be, with a slight curve and a little crown to the case, so it doesn’t feel sharp.
Five thousand milliamp hours with built-in prongs and cables is the cat’s meow. Don’t leave home without power.
