Features
Design
The design of the Topaz PP-80AR is exquisite and it’s one of the core reasons why you should consider buying the power bank. Most people are used to power banks being ugly, heavy and generally an accessory that you don’t want to carry around, but you have to.
The Topaz PP-80AR power bank is different, it’s beautiful and light. You get a svelte profile, rounded corners and an awesome finish. The power bank is available in three colors, Black, White, Gold and Pink.
The power bank also comes with four Indicator lights at the bottom that provides info about how much battery juice you have left.
USB Port
The Topaz PP-80AR has one USB port placed strategically at the top of the power bank. The USB port is reversible, meaning that you don’t have to fumble in order for you to find the correct way to connect the power bank to your smartphone.
Most modern power banks come with at least two USB ports, the power bank has one only one. Therefore, it’s kind of a deal breaker, especially if you prefer to charge two devices at once. However, the set-up is okay for someone who wishes to have a power bank just for their smartphone.
Charging Input
The Topaz PP-80AR has an 8000 mAh capacity and it takes between 3.5 hours to 4 hours to charge it from 0 to 100%.
Charging Output
The Topaz PP-80AR power bank has an output rating of 2.1A which similar to the rating you will find in most non-fast charging smartphones.
It takes you about 2 hours to charge a standard 3000 mAh smartphone battery from 0% to 100% using the Topaz PP-80AR power bank.
The charging speed is average and I would give it a 7/10 rating. I would, however, have preferred if the power bank had a slightly higher charging output rating since fast-charging technology is gradually becoming common place.
Accessories
The Topaz PP-80AR power bank packaging includes a USB charge cable. The cable is really short and thus of inconvenience especially if you want to use your smartphone while it’s recharging.
However, using the normal USB charge cable that comes with your smartphone sorts out the issue.
Warranty
The Topaz PP-80AR power bank come with a 6 months limited warranty. By limited it means that the warranty does not cover misuse of the power bank or the normal wear and tear.
Verdict
The Topaz PP-80AR power bank is a fantastic especially if you are out shopping for a solid accessory that offers more than what you pay for.
The Topaz PP-80AR has a suggested retail price of Ksh. 2,690
