Belkin Power Bank with Integrated Cable review: Compact fast charging for life on the move

Belkin’s Power Bank 10K with Integrated Cable offers fast, fuss-free charging with a built-in USB-C cable in a lightweight, compact design.

Power banks often promise convenience, but many fall short when it comes to real-world usage. Belkin’s Power Bank 10K with Integrated Cable delivers on that promise with a design that’s compact, practical, and refreshingly easy to use. While it also comes in a 20K version for heavier users, this review focuses on the more portable 10K model.

The 10K version stands out not by doing everything, but by doing the essentials very well. It charges devices quickly, fits easily into daily life, and removes the usual hassle of tangled cables. With its integrated USB-C connector and a second charging port, it’s a tool you’ll actually want to carry around, not just keep in a drawer for emergencies.

After using it across a typical work week, on the MRT, at cafes, during meetings, it consistently kept devices powered without adding bulk. It’s not the biggest power bank or the most advanced. But it nails the fundamentals that most people need from a daily charger.

Compact and minimal, with colour options to suit your style

Visually, the power bank keeps things sleek and understated. It comes in four colours—black, blue, pink, and white—offering more personalisation than many other power banks in its range. The black model is the most discreet and business-friendly, while the blue and pink add a pop of character for those who want their accessories to stand out a little.

The design features curved edges that enhance portability and give it a friendlier look compared to some of the hard-edged, industrial-style models on the market. This softer profile is especially welcome if you’re carrying it in a shirt pocket or handbag.

In terms of dimensions, it measures just 9.9 cm long, 6.4 cm wide, and 2.3 cm thick. That’s small enough to sit comfortably in one hand, or slide next to your phone in a sling or laptop bag. It weighs just enough to feel solid, without adding noticeable bulk. It’s also flat and low-profile enough to stack neatly behind your device while charging on a cafe table or flight tray.

The button to check battery status is subtly placed on the side, blending into the design. It doesn’t stand out visually, but it’s responsive and tactile. Next, four small LED indicators will light up to show the remaining battery life in 25% steps. The USB-C port for charging a second device is also located near the built-in cable slot, keeping everything within easy reach.

Fast charging when you need it most

While the design may be understated, the charging performance of the Power Bank with Integrated Cable is impressive for its size. Its 10,000mAh capacity is more than enough to charge a modern smartphone one to one-and-a-half times. In real-world use, using the built-in USB-C cable, it took an iPhone 15 Pro from 0 to 50% in just under 27 minutes. That’s not just fast, it’s genuinely helpful in those moments when you need power in a pinch.

The unit supports 20W Power Delivery, which is ideal for fast charging most USB-C smartphones, tablets, and portable devices. It also handled a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and an iPhone without issue. Even a Nintendo Switch charged smoothly during a lunchtime gaming session, confirming that it’s a good match for more power-hungry gadgets, too.

One of its most useful features is pass-through charging. This lets you charge a device from the power bank while also charging the power bank itself. It’s perfect for overnight situations where only one power socket is available, or for travel scenarios where you want to top everything up at once. It worked reliably in testing, without affecting charge times.

During multi-device use, the power bank still performed steadily, charging from the integrated cable and the USB-C port simultaneously. Charging speeds were slightly reduced, but not enough to be noticeable for everyday use. Most importantly, the unit stayed cool throughout. Belkin’s built-in safety protections, including over-voltage, over-current, and thermal control, clearly do their job behind the scenes without drawing attention.

The verdict: Belkin Power Bank with Integrated Cable

The Belkin Power Bank 10K with Integrated Cable is one of those rare tech accessories that feel genuinely useful from the first use. It isn’t trying to impress with flashy extras. Instead, it focuses on what really matters: fast charging, portability, and minimal hassle.

While there’s a 20K version for those who need more capacity, the 10K model is the better all-rounder. It’s compact enough to carry everywhere, powerful enough for at least one full charge, and simple enough that you never have to think twice about using it.

Belkin’s integrated cable design is a game-changer for USB-C users. Add in the extra port, pass-through charging, and eco-conscious materials, and you have a power bank that covers all the essentials with surprising polish.

This is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a dependable, easy-to-carry charger for your daily life. It’s not the biggest or the flashiest, but it might be the one you actually end up using every day.
