Long time no gadget review. Courtesy of one of you readers, I give you a quick review of the HEPU 65w 60,000mah powerbank.
This powerbank is one of those random offerings from China. I don’t think there’s any serious company backing this product as the website on the packaging doesn’t yield any meaningful info.
This review is mainly a summary of Busuyi’s experience using the device to charge his Xiaomi poco f5 from 10/15% – 100% till the powerbank was drained completely.
The Xiaomi Poco F5 has a 5000mah battery…..just in case you’re wondering.
Below are images and a 360 video of the powerbank before I get into the details.
The HEPU 65w 60,000mah powerbank has 4 usb type-a ports, 1 dc port and 2 pd usb type-c port.
On paper, this powerbank looks great but in usage, its inconsistencies leave a whole lot to be desired.
Like all I see are cons left, right and center but some of you wouldn’t mind at all.
Cons Of The HEPU 65w 60,000mah Powerbank
1. The PD1 usb type-c port supports a maximum input of 65w whilst PD2 supports 18w max input. PD1 supports input/output functionality but PD2 only supports input. When plugging the poco f5 into pd2, the screen of the powerbank went blank so PD2 is just there for slow input charging at 18W
2. Fresh out of the box, it took almost 6hrs to charge the HEPU powerbank from 72% to 100% using the 67w poco f5 charger. Now the wierd thing though is that when the powerbank was completely drained, it took 8hrs to fully charge it using the same charger.
3. The powerbank lost between 7-10% of its capacity whilst charging the poco f5 from 10/15% to 100% but by the tenth attempt of charging the phone, the powerbank completely shut down despite showing 26% charge remaining.
4. The usb type-c pd1 maximum output is 20w whilst charging the poco f5. The powerbank probably lacks the charging protocol required to charge the poco f5 at its rated 67w. This isn’t neccesarily a con as on the packaging the maximum input/output on all ports is rated 18w.
5. In testing, the red usb type-a port is capped at 13w output whilst the remaining 3 blue usb type-a ports are capped at 7w output.
Assuming the HEPU Powerbank has an 80% efficiency, it was able to deliver 40,000mah against its rated 60,000mah which is not bad at all.
If you’ve used the HEPU powerbank before, what has your personal experience with it been like? Do let us know in the comment section down below.
Conclusion by Busuyi as a current end-user: The Hepu Power Bank is a valuable travel companion, particularly for areas with unreliable public power, like Nigeria, despite its inconsistent capacity. Its integrated LED light provides an essential emergency light source during frequent power outages. A price point below 50k would make it even more appealing.
