What You're Actually Getting

Fifteen quid for a 20,000mAh power bank with an integrated cable and a digital percentage display. That's the pitch. And honestly, for the capacity alone, it's not half bad. Most batteries this size cost double or more from the likes of Anker or Belkin. INIU sits in that middle tier: not a brand you'd brag about, but not some no-name unit that arrives smelling of warehouse, either.

The built-in cable is the bit that'll either sell you or lose you. If you've ever scrambled around a bag for a USB-C lead at an airport, you'll appreciate it. If you're someone who already has cables everywhere and just wants raw capacity, it adds bulk for no real reason.

The 45W Claim

Here's where I'd pump the brakes slightly. 45W output sounds impressive, and it can deliver that to a compatible laptop or tablet. But that's the peak, not the guarantee. Your phone almost certainly won't pull anywhere near that. Still, for topping up a phone quickly or keeping a small laptop alive on a long train journey, it does the job.

The digital display showing exact battery percentage is a small thing, but I genuinely find it more useful than those four tiny LED dots most budget banks use.

Who It's For

This is a solid pick for commuters, students, or anyone who needs emergency power without spending proper money. It's not for anyone who needs USB-A ports (there are none mentioned), and it won't satisfy power users running multiple devices simultaneously. But at this price, with this capacity? Hard to argue with it.
