Benks ArmorGo Power Bank is available in two capacities, 5,000mAh and 10,000mAh.

Since it is a new Benks product, it is unavailable on both their Shopee and Lazada stores. You have to get it from their website. The pricing varies depending on the design and capacity.

For 5,000mAh, the Aurora and DawnLight Gold retail for US$44.99 (S$57.63), while the 600D retails for US$39.99 (S$51.22).

For 10,000mAh, the Aurora retails for US$50.99 (S$65.31), while the 600D retails for US$45.99 (S$58.91).

Benks sent me the Benks ArmorGo Power Bank 5,000mAh in DawnLight Gold for review. They also sent me an iPhone 16 Pro Max ArmorTint Case in DawnLight Gold to match the power bank.

I love the DawnLight Gold finish on the power bank.

It looks beautiful, and the color stands out on its own. It’s very different from my usual black or white power banks.

This is now my number one color from Benks, overtaking the 600D and Aurora.

The 5,000mAh, which I have, is very thin and lightweight. The thickness measures about 8.8 mm and is as thin as my iPhone 16 Pro Max, which measures 8.3 mm. Weight-wise, it measures 114g.

A USB-C port at the bottom supports both input and output. Input up to (5V3A) 18W to charge the power bank, and output to charge USB-C devices is also up to (5V2A/9V2A) 18W.

You cannot use it to charge two devices at once. The USB-C port will take precedence if you wirelessly charge your iPhone and plug in a USB-C cable to charge other devices.

Since this is not a Qi-certified powerbank, your iPhone will only wirelessly charge at 5W, while Android will charge at 7.5W. This is the only downside of this powerbank.

There are 5 LED status lights on this powerbank. The first four white LEDs represent the battery levels, while the 5th blue LED indicates whether it is wireless charging. If you use the USB-C port to charge devices, the 5th LED will not light up.

The button on the right is the power button. Pressing it once will turn it on and display the battery level. Pressing it twice will turn it off. Pressing and holding it for two seconds will activate the low current mode, allowing you to charge lower-powered devices.

You will not be using the button much since it charges automatically when you attach it to the back of your iPhone. You can remove the power bank when you are done, and it will be turned off automatically after 15 seconds.

Overall, I love the design and color of this power bank. As for the price, it is relatively reasonable. The only downside is that it is non-Qi certified, so you only get the maximum charging speed of 5W for iPhones.
