Hi everyone! Today we’re about to check an item I got from Lazada and that is the Romoss A10 Ace series 10000mAh powerbank.
I was forced to get a new one since my 2 year old Bavin powerbank is trying to say goodbye to me. It’s not yet totally wrecked but it acts up from time to time. As a commuter it’s always necessary for you to have a powerbank all the time. Well I’m not sure if it’s really necessary. I guess it’s just for me who keeps on browsing the web, playing music and playing mobile games while commuting.
My usual mindset when getting a powerbank is that I have to get a higher capacity so that I can always have a back up battery. But that was before. I realized that having higher capacity means longer wait time for charging the powerbank. Also it’s heavier. I only use powerbanks when commuting so technically I am not being able to consume my old powerbank in a day. So instead of getting a bigger capacity, I decided to get a smaller one.
If you would see on the image the Romoss A10 is almost half of the Bavin powerbank. But it seems to have same weight despite the fact that Bavin has 15000 mah capacity.Before I get in to the review here’s the Romoss A10 specs. Please don’t ask me to explain this part. Hehe
Color: Rose Gold
Dual Input: lightning or micro usb
Input: 5V max 2.1A
Output: 5V 1A/2.1A
Battery Capacity: 10000mAh
Rated Capacity: 7400mAh(based on other reviews and 6400mAh(based on the powerbank’s label)
So since I really have no means to prove the specs above I will just tell you guys my total experience with it. Just to give you a heads up, I had this powerbank for 2 months now. I guess it’s about time to review it.

Verifying my powerbank’s authenticity
Good thing there’s Google translate 🙂
Good thing there’s Google translate 🙂
I got this from Lazada and sometimes it is hard to tell if an item is legit or not. A reviewer from Lazada gave a tip that you can check it from Romoss website if it’s original or not. Even though the packaging of this powerbank is written in Chinese, I was able to check and verify that this Romoss A10 I got is original.
The message from their website was also in Chinese but good thing there’s Google Translate. I was able to translate the message.
The appearance
For a girl like me I am sure everyone would love to have the rose gold color. It is just so appealing to me. It’s made of metal just like the fake powerbanks you can find at the streets. However, this Romoss A10 definitely looks legit. It’s quite heavy but it is super handy.
Performance and functions
-
I really did look for dual input powerbanks. The thing is sometimes I tend to lose my micro usb cable. Unlike my lightning cable it’s with me all the time for sure.
-
I also like the fact that I can recharge this powerbank for just 4-5 hours. Unlike my old powerbank it’s almost 12 hours.
-
It charges my iPhone 6 for almost 5 times or 3 times when using it while . Since there’s an output for 2.1A, it charges my phone fast.
-
To my surprise, I was able to charge my phone while the powerbank is being charged. That has never been possible in my old powerbank. It won’t really harm the powerbank nor the phone if the input is higher than the output. In this case, I used a 2.1A charge to charge the powerbank and used the 1A output.
Now let’s go to the downsides of it. Honestly there are only quite a few.
Dual-Input feature could’ve been better if…
it allows you to hasten the charging time of the powerbank by using both inputs to charge it. Some dual input powerbanks allow you to charge it faster by plugging in your chargers into both inputs. It’s not possible with Romoss A10 though. I tried to charge it while using both inputs but nothing has changed.
Charging the power bank using lightning cable is quite slow. It’s like taking more than 6 hours. Unlike with micro USB, it’s only taking 4-5 hours.
Dunno the purpose of the button
Most powerbanks has power button but all the powerbanks I ever owned automatically turns on whenever I plug in the cable to it and my phone. So what’s the sense of the button there? Lols.
The only thing I am waiting to figure out with this is the durability. How long will this thing last???
Anyways, I added a buy button below to purchase this item from Lazada. It is an affiliate link that gives me a little commission when you purchase. I made sure that the linked item on the ad is the one posted by the seller where I got my Romoss A10 Ace Series.
