Charging Your Devices (Output)
You can charge your devices using either the built-in cable or the external ports.
Method A: Using the Built-in Type-C Cable
- Gently pull the built-in Type-C cable from its slot on the side of the power bank.
- Connect the loose end of the cable directly to your device's Type-C charging port.
- Press the power button on the power bank to begin charging. The LED indicators will illuminate to show the power bank's remaining capacity.
Method B: Using the External Ports
- Use your own USB-C or USB-A cable.
- Connect the cable to the corresponding port on the power bank (USB-C PD or USB-A).
- Connect the other end to your device.
- Press the power button to start charging.
Dual Charging: You can charge two devices simultaneously by using both the built-in cable and one external port, or both external ports with your own cables.
LED Indicator Guide
The LED lights indicate the approximate remaining battery level of the power bank.
- 4 LEDs lit: 76% - 100% capacity
- 3 LEDs lit: 51% - 75% capacity
- 2 LEDs lit: 26% - 50% capacity
- 1 LED lit: 10% - 25% capacity
- 1 LED blinking: Less than 10% capacity. Recharge the power bank.
Carrying and Storage
The built-in cable can be looped for hanging the power bank on a bag, hook, or your wrist for easy portability. Ensure the cable is securely tucked back into its slot when not in use to prevent damage.

How to Charge Type-C Laptops (35W) with the Powerbank
- Use a good quality Type-C to Type-C charging cable that supports 35W charging. Plug one end of the Type-C to Type-C cable into the Powerbank’s Type-C port and the other end into the Type-C port of your laptop.
- The LED indicator will start glowing according to the battery status.
NOTE:
- While charging the laptops, do not charge any other device using the powerbank simultaneously.
- This powerbank only charges laptops that support 35W or lower. Example: MacBook Air.
How to Charge the Powerbank
Use a good quality Type-C charging cable. Plug the Type-C connector of the cable into one Type-C input port of the Powerbank and the other connector into the matching port of the power adapter. The LED indicator will start flashing according to the battery status.
- We recommend using a 35W power adapter to get an enhanced charging speed. If charged using a lower-wattage power adapter, the charging rate will be slower.
- While charging the powerbank, it is recommended to not charge your devices using the powerbank simultaneously.
- While charging, the green LED indicator will glow (In case of QC/PD fast charging) and the corresponding battery capacity indicator (White LED) will blink.
- When fully charged, all white LED indicators will turn ON and the blinking will stop.
- After the Powerbank is fully charged, disconnect the cable from the Powerbank.

PRECAUTIONS
- Some USB cables that are not compatible with the power bank or can't be used should be avoided, instead, choose or purchase the charging cable of the same mobile brand to get adequate speed.
- Do not use two charging cables simultaneously in both Type-C ports.
- When the power bank can't charge digital products, please check whether the charging cable and connectors are connected properly or change the cable. After digital devices are fully charged, please unplug the charging cable timely to avoid power loss.
- Because of the high charge and discharge current, please choose good quality charging cable and connectors.
- Please make sure the power bank is fully charged when using it for the first time. Make sure that the product is fully charged at least once in two or three months.
- During charging the power bank, please unplug the cable within 30 minutes when the power bank is fully charged.
- While using output through a single port, the powerbank delivers maximum power but if dual or more ports are used at the same time, then the power bank will divide power into two or three.
- In single port usage, the Power bank will operate in only one parameter whether QC or PD and will provide the output ratio mentioned.
- If all the ports are used in a single phase, then the Power Bank will work on basic parameters and the current will be divided into all the ports.
- It’s always suggested to discharge the powerbank completely before recharging to get enhanced battery backup. Frequent top-ups after minimal use may reduce long-term performance.
