We all know that smartphones drain there batteries fast and most of the time we're frustrated because they are always dead or in low battery state. Fear not, the Millerton Roadside Power bank is to the rescue. This powerbank badass has 11800mAh Samsung batteries.

| The bubble wrap of the power bank was threw. XD |
- 11800mAh True Samsung Batteries
- Dual charging capabilities (1A and 2A)
- Flashlight function
- Overcharging and overcurrent protection
- Free of hazardous substances
- Capable with all phones, tablets, music players, feature phones, and brands
- Contoured, well-built designs
- Free charging cable and 6 connector tips
Here the charging cable, and the 6 connector tips. I've tried to use it to charge my mom's Xperia ZL, and it charge it fast. It's like it was plug-in into a wall socket using its wall charger. I think what's missing here in a lightning connector but since it has a USB slot, you can just plug it there.
The Millerton Roadside Power bank has 4 LED indicator which indicates the battery life of the power bank. Well, I think that each circle-like indicator is equivalent to 25% of its battery. So when it only have 75% of its battery life, it will just light 3 LED indicators and so on.
Last thing about the Milerton Roadside Power bank is its ability to be a flashlight by holding its power button. It can't replace your ordinary flashlight but in some emergency cases, you can use it as a flashlight.
That's it. Oops I almost forgot. You can buy this on Kimstore for the price of Php1,999 (Original price os Php3,000).

Hi quick question, I just bought one but I can't seem to turn off the device, do you know how to?
ReplyDeleteWell, I think you can't turn off the device. It's like on standby mode all the time. The purpose of the "power button" is to check the remaining stored battery life and to use the flash light. :)
DeleteIs it really blinking fast when it's about to run out of juice??
DeleteYes po. :)
Deleteso any problems with the power bank? i want to buy this one but found no other reviews using this one.
ReplyDeleteI have no problems with the device. :)
Deletegaano katagal i-charge yung powerbank?
ReplyDeleteAround 6-8 hrs straight. :D
Deletebakit wala pang 1 hour may 3 lights na yung light indicator, yun yung nagiindicate pag full charge na diba?
DeleteHow do you charge the powerbank itself?
ReplyDeleteYou can charge the powerbank by inerting microUSB cable to its microUSB slot and plug it in to a laptop or pc. I ask kimstore last week if I can use a smartphone charger to charge the powerbank, and they said I can't. :D
Deletedoes this mean that I can only charge it with my laptop or pc? thanks
DeleteThat's what kimstore said. But I'm planning to use my G2's wall charger to charge it.
DeleteHello, please let us know po if the wall charger works! :) Thanks!
Deleteilang devices na from low to fullbat kaya i charged po nito??
ReplyDeleteHmm... At least 3 to 4 smartphones, not sure with tablets since they have bigger batteries.
Deletepwede ba ito sa ipad air or iphone 5s?
ReplyDeleteYou can charge your Apple devices on the powerbank, but just bring a lightning dock connector. :)
DeleteHow do you know if the powerbank is full charge? cause the blinking of the last circle is taking forever.
ReplyDeleteIf the 4 LED dots are not blinking. What I do is when I can't fully charge the powerbank, I unplug it to my pc or laptop and continue it later.
DeleteThanks for the info bro but have you tried charging it using smartphone wall charger?
Deletegood morning just got one yesterday and I charged it for 8hrs as instructed by kim's staff but when I tried to charge my nexus 7 with it it only charged 60% of its battery,why is this so? and you said I can't charge it with the use of a smartphone charger, so that means I can only charge it through my pc or laptop?thanks
ReplyDeleteHave you tried to contact or ask Kimstore about it? I'm only using the powerbank for charging smartphones. That's what Kimstore said about charging the powerbank. But I'm planning to charge it by using a smartphone wall charger.
Deletehope you can answer my query.. thanks
ReplyDeleteYou can charge it using smartphone wall charger. That's one of the agents of kimstore told me but after 8 hours straight charging it's still not full. Let me know also what you've experienced once you've tried it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that information. I'm going to try it once my powerbank runs out of juice. :D
DeleteHi! I tried to charge 2 iphones at the same time. Only worked on one iphone. Did anyone had the same problem?
ReplyDeleteI also bought this one from Kimstore and I'm using it with my Note 3 (3200mAh). Twice lang nia na full charge un Note 3. 3rd time hindi na. Ganun lang ba talaga un?
ReplyDeleteIs your powerbank is fully charge when you use it to charge your Note 3?
DeleteYes. Fully charged po.
DeleteBy the way, 9 hours exact ang charging time ng powerbank. I've observed it many times.
Either using your smartphone's wall charger or charging it on your PC, it takes 9 hours exact to make it fully charged. My only problem is that it can only make my Note3 battery (3200mAh) full twice. Anyone here having the same observation? Please do explain Mr. Juan. SUPER THANKS!
ReplyDeleteTheoretically speaking, I think the entire 11800mAh battery of the powerbank isn't mean to use for charging. There's a certain amount of battery capacity for the flashlight. It's like the whole battery was partition in order to use the things that it can do.
DeleteI'm really not sure with my answer since I don't know how Millerton created this device. Sorry. :(
Regarding the capacity, yung 11,800mAh ay rated sa 3.7V battery cells (same battery cells used on laptops)
DeleteAng power output ng powerbank is 5V, ibig sabihin nag i squeeze out ka ng 5V mula sa 3.7V na cells.
bale magiging computation nya, 3.7 divided by 5.0 which is 0.74 (3.7/5=0.74) meaning 74% lang ng 11,800mAh yung true capacity
11,800 * 0.74(para sa 74%) = 8732mAh
yung 8732mAh ang true capacity ng powerbank na ito.
Since 3200mAh yung battery ng note 3 mo, malamang 2 beses lang sya ma fully charge.
8732/3200 = 2.73 times lang ma cha charge yung note3

pareng Jed, gusto ko i-try ito sa gadget ko:

gagana ba? matsalam
pwede po ba ang charger ng iphone 5 gamitin pang charge nito? xempre using it's right connection
ReplyDeletePossibly yes. :)
DeleteI mean i will charge the millerton powerbank with iphone 5 charger. is it ok? And lastly what charger are you using for the powerbank? thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI think you can use your iPhone 5's charger to charge it. Just be sure that you use a USB cable instead of the stock lightning cable.
DeleteI used my LG G2's wall charger once. Planning to use it again after I drain all of its juice. :D
Hello pwede kaya to sa cellphone ko? nadodoubt kasi ako kasi yung nasa output ng charger ko is : 5v ; (1.5A)1500ma while itong powerbabk na to is 5v ; 2A(2000ma) at 1A(1000ma) .. Hindi kaya makakasama sa phone ko to ? I mean hindi kaya lomobo ang batt ?
ReplyDeleteHi! Does it work with Lenovo K900 and Blackberry? Just making sure before purchasing.
ReplyDeleteyup it will work in all devices...
DeleteI've been using the millerton power bank for almost 4mos but unfortunately all of a sudden Hindi na sya gumagana....what do you think happened? Hindi naman sya gamit na gamit.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried to use other USB cables?
DeleteYup...I tried already different cables...btw, it's only 3 mos old pala.I bought it last October 23. Kimstore told me that the warranty is only 3 mos so hindi daw ako umabot. Last night I tried to open it, you can never avoid having the sides with marks kasi hindi mo sya mabubuksan although I already unscrewed the single screw which is covered by the back sticker. Halos masira yung plastic casing kasi sobrang tigas.yun pala meron adhesive tape in the middle part holding the battery.
DeleteFortunately I was able to make it work again =).but it almost made my power bank a total mess since its not as good looking as it was before.
Jom, the Millerton Power Bank was sold only last December so impossible na 4 months na siyang nagagamit.
DeleteSorry but if you will check the photo albums of kimstore you'll find out that mid September they are already selling millerton power banks.
DeleteJom, ano ginawa mo para gumana sya ulit??? Share your knowledge! hehe thanks! :)
Deletewhich usb port is 2A? the left or the right?..
ReplyDeletethnx in advance...
Higher ampere(A) rating usually fast charges your battery. But it also heats it up. Slow charging with appropriate ampere extends your battery life. Usually using your laptop's usb port wont fully charge since its ampere raring is low as compared to your usb wall chargers.
ReplyDeleteAnong dimensions nung powerbank? Thanks
ReplyDeleteJUST GOT MY MILLERTON POWER BANK VIOLET LAST MONDAY. THANKS KIMSTORE, WORKING PERFECTLY AS DESCRIBED. CHARGING IPAD AIR AND NOTE 3 SAME TIME.
ReplyDeleteBeen using Millerton Power Bank smoothly and safely. All's well with my Z1 and ipod touch. Good product, affordable price
ReplyDeleteI think I will agree with *Jed's explanation about the true capacity of the powerbank. That's what I complained with Kim Store... Sa isang full charge ng powerbank (used samsung charger with 2,000mAh output) isang beses nya macharge yung Xperia V (1,750mAh) ko at di na mafull charge ang Galaxy Tab 2 (4,000mAh). Siguro nga this powerbank is for smartphones only (below 2,000mAh) and not for larger or higher capacity device
ReplyDeleteAnother question alin sa dalawang USB slot yung 1A at 2A?
ReplyDeletekadarating lang ng millerton ko kanina. as per the included user manual, the one on the left is the 1A port and on the opposite site will be the 2A port.
Deletesame question which of the 2 ports are for the apple devices like iphone 5s and the which side is for the other smart phones?
ReplyDeletesame question which of the 2 sides are for the iphones5/5s and whoch one is for the other smart phones.... If Jeds explanation on the capacity is correct 8000mah still cost around the same. so i think ndi pa den talo sa power bank nato... most likely other powerbanks have the same concept so kung 5000-6000mah sa kanila edi mas mababa pa lalo yung nakukuha nila just my opinion
ReplyDeleteJed's computation is correct. Actually, 11,800mah is not the true capacity as what Jed said, because it uses Lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion) with output voltage of 3.7V. You need 5V to charge you devices like smartphones and tablets so you need to convert 3.7V to 5V before it can charge. For example, this millerton powerbank w/ 11,800mah, we will compute for the energy of the power device since energy is transferred not the capacity (milliampere-hour).
ReplyDelete11,800mah x 3.7V / 1000 = 43.66 Watt hour (energy of powerbank)
watt = volt x ampere
43.66Wh / 5V = 8.732Ah = 8732mah (output capacity of powerbank at 5V)
Actually this is not yet the final conversion since there are things you need to consider like energy loss. Lets say 5% or 10%, say 10% loss we have:
8732mah x 90% = 7858.8 mah (output at 5V)
So for 3200mah battery of Note 3, you can only full charge it twice. Hope this hepls.
hahah patoxican ng computation po..pero helpful padin po ung mga computation..salamat mga sir!!
Deletehala po ibig sabihin kung bilhin ko ung 12kmah na powerbank halos once ko lng pla ma full charge ung ipad mini ko ahahah nasa 6.4k mah ata un
DeleteSalamat sa detailed explanation!! :)
Deletepano po malalaman kung lowbat na yung powerbank?
ReplyDeleteWill this work with the samsung s5?
ReplyDeleteSIr Juan Gadget na try mo na icharge ung Power bank using smart phone charger???
ReplyDeleteYes. In fact I use my G2's charger to charge the power bank.
Delete"Gin Leynes January 7, 2014 at 6:13 PM
ReplyDeleteHow do you know if the powerbank is full charge? cause the blinking of the last circle is taking forever."
I am experiencing the same also.. 9 hours na pero hindi pa din siya fully charge cause the blinking of the last circle is taking forever kelan kaya matatapos to? Also, nung binili nyo ba to sa kimstore may kasamang user manual? yung skn kasi nitong July 18, 2014 ko lang binili sa kimstore walang kasamang manual. Thanks...
Maybe the unit of yours is defective? There's no user manual when I bought it.
DeleteSir kapag forever nag blink yung 4th led light ibgsbhn po ba nun ay defective or ganun talaga sha hnd tumitigil ang blinking?
ReplyDeletemagsstop ba dapat ung blinking pag fully charged na or not?
ReplyDeleteIm thinking of getting one of these, kaya lang, based on the reviews and the comments, parang and daming issues. Over all ba marerecommend ninyo ang item na ito?
ReplyDeleteThank you sa sasagot.
Same as others. I bought one from kim then now after 2 going 3 months this may hindi n sia gumana. Ayaw mgcharge ng iphone/ipad ko pero sa pocket wifi ngcharge sya. Then when i bought it its takes 20hrs to fully charge the powerbank.
ReplyDeleteHi. Nagtanong po ako sa Kismtore ang sabi nila 2-3hours para magfull charge. Pero nung tnry ko pong icharge yung sakin less than 1hour palang, 1 led nalang nagbblink. Almost 9hours na po pero nagbblink parin sya. 12,000 MAh po akin.
ReplyDeleteilan m chacharge ng 6000mah ilang cp
