Product Review: Pisen 10000mAh (TS-D182) Power Bank
Unlike its other more cosmetically glamorous models, the TS-D182 power bank does not have colourful exteriors and eye candy extras. It does, however, have the capacity to store power and has only one purpose – to be used as a portable power solution.
The power bank has an input of 5V (2A) and output of 5V (1A/2A) and has an intelligent sensor for fast charging devices like iPhone 5+, Galaxy 5+ or tablets.
The TS-D182 also has smart IC current protection which prevents overheating, shorting or overcharging. It also has LED indicators which show battery status; the light turns green when the device is fully charged and red when still charging.

There are also two other indicators labelled 2A and 1A which light up depending on which is being used. It usually starts off at 2A but if battery capacity drops below a certain threshold, it will automatically switch to 1A. The large capacity does come at the cost.
The power bank is about the length of an iPhone 6 and a bit heavier. It weighs 9.9 ounces or 280 grams, is 5.5 inches (approx. 14cm) in length, a height of 1 (approx. 2.5cm) and breath of 2.5 inches (approx. 6.4cm). The dimensions are probably a factor in its pricing.
The TS-D182 is cheap compared to the more cosmetically appealing models. I bought mine at the Huazhong University of Science & Technology (HUST) market in Wuhan for RMB 50 which roughly translates to around K25. However, in usage terms, it is worth more.
The power bank can charge an iPhone 6 at least twice before needing a recharge depending on how much charge the phone needs. I’ve also found other uses for this device.
Attaching a USB LED light to the power bank creates light that can be used in our black out prone city of Port Moresby and the great thing is that it will last for hours fully charged.
Attach an LED light and you have a torch that can last for hours.
The Pisen brand is relatively unknown in Papua New Guinea (PNG) but is well-known in China and other Asian countries. They produce a number of quality electronic items including power banks, chargers, data cables and headphones.
