Power Banks / Ekrist
Ekrist HX160Y8 25800mAh
Huge raw capacity for $25 — but no USB-PD, so everything charges slowly.
Overall score 4.4/10
Pros
- + Enormous raw capacity for around $25
- + Still one of the best-selling power banks on Amazon
Cons
- − No USB Power Delivery at all — 5V/3A output means roughly 15W, so a modern phone charges slowly and a laptop not at all
- − The 25,800mAh headline is a cell-count marketing figure, not usable output
- − No watt-hour rating is published, so you cannot verify airline compliance
- − A 2019 design still being sold in 2026, with micro-USB input
Ekrist HX160Y8 25800mAh review: what the specs say
Huge raw capacity for $25 — but no USB-PD, so everything charges slowly. At $25.99, Ekrist's 2019 model sits among the cheapest we cover — the power Banks we compare run from $25.99 to $229.99. It scores 4.4/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Capacity at 8.5/10 — how many full phone or laptop charges it actually delivers. The weakest is Features at 2.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: no USB Power Delivery at all — 5V/3A output means roughly 15W, so a modern phone charges slowly and a laptop not at all; and the 25,800mAh headline is a cell-count marketing figure, not usable output. Every specification on this page comes from Ekrist's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
