NEWS – Yes, I know that keychain-sized power banks aren’t unusual, but the YINGK Pills EDC power bank has a feature that I think makes it interesting enough to share with you. First of all, I’m giving it points for its design style. I like the orange cable that doubles as a lanyard. But that’s not the feature that makes the YINGK Pills interesting. It’s also not that it has a capacity of 5,000 mAh|22.5W and offers fast charging. The feature I think is interesting is the Lightning or USB-C connector (you can choose), that can rotate to create a stand for your phone. Is that enough of a reason to buy one? You tell me. It’s priced at $35 and you can get one directly from YINGK.tech.

The Anker Nano offers the same specs (5,000 mAh, 22.5W) in the same form factor (3″x1.45″x1″) in either USB-C or Lightning for $24-$27.
This is like a lot of the latest wave of Chinese power banks – it has lightning and usb-c. Ideally if you chose a usb-c bank it would have a usb-c vertical plug and a usb-c tail as you don’t always want to plug the battery directly into the phone (it makes it awkward to handle).
