Power banks have a weight problem, which is why you keep leaving them at home. The $50 10,000mAh brick in your desk drawer charges fast and holds plenty of juice, but it’s shaped like a deck of cards and weighs close to a pound, and soon you’re deciding it’s not worth the bag space and definitely not the pocket space. INIU’s Pocket Rocket P50 is a welcome response to that pattern: 10,000mAh, 5.6 ounces, 45W output, and three ports for just $28 when you use the code TasteMe15 at checkout.
If you just did a double-take at that code, nobody is suggesting the Pocket Rocket P50 is in any way edible. But it is snack-sized — about the same as two macarons stacked together. And yet, it’s a 45W powerhouse. The P50 charges an iPhone 17 from zero to 70% in about 25 minutes, which is roughly double the speed of what most similarly sized competitors manage. On a commuter’s timeline, that’s the difference between a phone that’s ready when you leave the coffee shop and one that’s still at 30% when you hit the platform.
[Ounces, Not Pounds
At 5.6 ounces, the P50 is lighter than most wallets once you’ve loaded them up with cash and cards. It fits in a jeans pocket without that rectangular lump that announces itself every time you sit down. There’s also a built-in detachable USB-C lanyard cable, which sounds minor until you’re at an airport and your charging cable is in the other bag. The P50 handles three devices simultaneously through its USB-C and USB-A ports, so your smartphone, wireless earbuds, and tablet can all run off it at once.
The generous 10,000mAh capacity gives you about two full iPhone 17 charges, which comfortably covers a long day of heavy use or a full travel day. It also clears the FAA’s 100Wh lithium-ion cabin limit cleanly, where a lot of 20,000mAh banks don’t. That’s worth knowing before you hit the TSA line only to discover that you’re probably needing to leave your charger behind.
Pastel Power
There are six color versions of the Pocket Rocket P50, a far greater variety than the standard black or silver options most manufacturers offer. You also have the option of free custom engraving when you order from the INIU store, which converges nicely with the impending back-to-school shopping season.
INIU backs the Pocket Rocket P50 with a three-year warranty, which is notably longer than the one-year coverage most competitors offer at this price. Don’t forget the checkout code TasteMe15 when you visit INIU’s site to take advantage of their extra discount that knocks down the price of the 45W Pocket Rocket P50 to just $28.
