What is it?
The Aulumu M10 is a sturdy premium aluminium power bank with charging features for small gadgets.
Good points?
With a 10,000mAh battery, the M10 provides a useful reserve of portable power for smartphones, smartwatches and other compatible devices.
The USB-C output can deliver up to 35W using Power Delivery Technology, charging compatible devices considerably faster than basic low-power power banks.
The same port can be used for input to replenish the unit. Compatible smartphones and watches can attach magnetically making wireless charging particularly convenient. Dual-device wireless charging is supported at several power levels including 5W, 7.5W, 10W and up to 15W. The available speed depends on the connected device and its charging capabilities.
The integrated 160mm USB-C cable is a welcome space-saving feature that means you don’t have to pack additional accessories for modern devices.
Other handy features include a quick visual battery indicator that’s easy to read, dedicated cooling technology that allows the device to be handled comfortably in use and a sturdy lanyard, for portability and fast access.
Bad points?
The available power is shared when multiple outputs are being used. This means you shouldn’t expect every connected device to charge at maximum speed simultaneously. At approximately 252g the unit’s weight is noticeable in a pocket or hanging from the lanyard on clothing.
Best for ...
Those who travel or commute with multiple devices that may need charging along the way.
Avoid if ...
Your priority is an ultra-lightweight power bank or you mainly need a high-capacity battery for extended trips away from mains power to charge larger devices.
