Disappointing. Not 15,000mah
Scroll to 3rd to last paragraph for summary.So the idea of this device is really awesome. I like that it is a built in wall charger so you don’t need a power brick to charge it, the fact that it has a built in usb c cable with an iOS lightning adapter built in as well, the clear display, and the wireless charging. But there’s one thing that really irks me about this and it’s the capacity of the battery.The title and description read as 15,000mah. I do not think it is and here’s why. I have an Anker power bank, not wireless charging, and it’s capacity is at 10,000mah. I’ll get back to that in a moment.(I didn’t write these numbers down, but I did this test yesterday and I’m pretty confident the percentages are within 1-2% of each other)When I unboxed this power bank it was at 60%. I plugged it into my wall to charge for a while. Came back and it was at 86%. So I decided to test it out. I turned it on with the button on the side and placed my iPhone 12 Pro on top. My iPhone at the time was at I think 28%. I let it sit there for about 15min. I came back and it was down to 73%. So that’s 13% of power used up from this 15,000mah. My iPhone was at 44%. It charged my phone 16% in around 15min and it used up 13% of the power bank.Let’s do some math. If this power bank was at 100% and charged my phone around 16% every 15min while using 13% in that amount of time, that would mean if my phone was completely dead, it would take 90min to charge my phone from 0% to 96%. To charge my phone for that long from 0%, the power bank would use 78% of its capacity. For 15,000mah, that’s a lot of power being drained. 15,000mah should have no problem charging an iPhone 12 Pro roughly 3 times. From the way these numbers are, it would barely make it to one charge and half of another.Remember that Anker power bank I mentioned earlier? There’s a reason I mentioned it. Anker power bank has 10,000mah capacity. It can charge my phone 2 times and a little bit more on its last remaining capacity. It also has 4 indicator lights on the button. Each light representing 25% capacity. When all four lights are lit, it has anywhere between 75% and 100%. On Sunday night, I used my Anker power bank to charge my coworkers phone from 4% to 78% in about 2hrs. It still had four lights on, telling me it didn’t even use 75% of battery. Monday night, he used my power bank again. This time for half an hour. Not sure what percentage it brought his phone up to but the capacity on the Anker was still at 4 lights. Still hasn’t reached below 75%.Now here’s the real test. I had charged my Aimpire power bank while I was at work. It was at 100%. I took my old Anker power bank and used the Aimpire to charge the Anker. Remember, Aimpire has 15,000mah and Anker has 10,000mah capacity. I took a USB A to USB C cable and plugged the A end into Aimpire and the USB C into Anker. I did not keep track of time, but time is irrelevant. The Aimpire RAN OUT OF POWER BEFORE IT COULD FULLY CHARGE THE ANKER POWER BANK!!!How is that possible? It is mentioned in the description Aimpire is 15,000mah. Anker is 10,000. Aimpire should have had enough capacity to charge it 1.5 times. I do not believe Aimpire is being truthful about the capacity of this power bank, and that capacity was one of the main selling points for me along with everything that’s built in. But what’s the point of having all these built in features when the power bank itself can’t barely charge what you need it to or drains like crazy? Maybe mine is defective, idk. I’ve emailed them and yet to get a response.If you still want a good power bank that’s wireless, I would suggest the wireless Anker power bank and the rapidX power bank. Anker is just a good trustworthy brand, I just wanted to try Aimpire cause of everything built in seemed very versatile. The RapidX is really cool and in my opinion on par with Anker. RapidX has a docking station for the power bank and you can rest your phone against it when you sleep to charge your phone and when that’s done it will continue charging the power bank. You remove it from the dock when your ready to take it with you. It’s really cool, even the power bank itself can be charged wirelessly. But I would stay away from Aimpire and not be fooled by the built in features. Get something that actually works and will be reliable when you need it

Very cool design and works as advertised
I quite like the design of this battery pack. It has it's own charging prongs, so you don't even have to bring another charger with you when you travel. I like how the USB C cord is included as part of the charger, so you don't have to carry around extra cords. I also like the wireless charging, though it works better when you set the phone down on top of it than when you're carrying both around in your pocket. The iphone adapter is a nice touch, and its well integrated with the unit so it won't fall out. The 90degree folding stand is another nice touch, though having the phone straight up and down is not ideas, so it would have been be nicer if somehow they were able to make it a 60 degree stand instead. I like how it has a USB-C outlet as well, in case you want to use a longer cord, and I like how you can charge the unit through the USB-C outlet as well as charge from it. One improvement I would make to the design is that it would be nice if the integrated USB-C cord were detachable somehow, and you could use it to charge the unit from USB, but maybe that would have interfered with being able to fast charge from that cable. Overall I'm really happy with this battery pack and how well thought out it is.

Most versatile battery pack
I have owned many USB battery packs over the years, large and small, cheap and expensive. They are incredibly convenient when A) it is with you when you need it B) you have the right cable and C) they have a sufficient charge left. If any of these things are missing it is incredibly frustrating. This pack addresses each potential problem. A) it is small enough to fit in a pocket, purse, definitely backpack, or even a small bike frame bag. So you won't be tempted to leave it behind because it is not too bulky or heavy. B) it has built in cables for USB C (Android devices) and a built in adapter for lightening (iPhone). I have and Android phone and I often forget to bring a cable for my wife's iPhone This is eliminates that problem and having bulky extra cables. Or charge with wireless charging. The only minor break here is the cannot charge the device wirelessly and via the cable at the same time but this makes sense because that would generate a lot of heat C) The device holds enough charge for a phone and a half in my experience which is less than what is advertised but not surprising that a battery pack slightly under rivers on capacity. Only brands like Anker I have found a good accurate emoji capacity. And crucially if you find yourself out in about and the pack is insufficiently charged the built-in wall charger allows you to charge it while charging your phone from anywhere. Other battery packs if the charge is out and you're just stuck because you usually don't have a USB wall adapter to charge it from. With this guy if you're in an airport or a friend's house or anywhere with a plug in charge if the battery pack is empty. Great!

Awesome and smaller than the images portray! Amazing portable charger for every day carry! Compact!
This thing is amazing compared to other portable chargers. I own several wall plug battery banks and this by far is amazing. It offers great specs such as 22.5W power delivery, which charges my Note 20 Ultra Samsung Phone fast! It is slimmer than other portable battery banks than offer both the USB C and Apple cable built in. This features 1 singular USB-C cable with an Apple adapter, reducing the design footprint! IT HAS WIRELESS CHARGING with 15,000 mAH capactiy! I don't need to carry a wall adapter anymore since it's an all in one. This thing is an amazing purchase and I am satisfied, especially since I am a tech nerd.Fits into your briefcase, crossbody, sling bags, backpacks, etc so neatly and smoothly. This thing is king compared to Anker or Mophie Power, overpriced brand name stuff with little to offer compared to Aimpire or however you say the name.

Don’t waist your money
It is super slow and the unit gets hot quick with wireless and wired charging.Also, advertised as 20,000 mAh but it’s actually 15,000.
