Featuring an included dual-interface cable, it can charge Type-C and Lightning phones right off the power bank and can be used as a nifty little hanger when not in use. Let’s take a closer look as we find out more about this power bank in this review. Read on!

Closer Look
The Vention 5000mAh power bank isn’t officially called the “lipstick” power bank but rather a marketing nickname because of its look. As the packaging states, its official name is just a power bank but the box image shows the actual product and capacity. Inside the package is a documentation slip and the actual power bank and dual interface cable.
The Vention 5000mAh power bank’s included cable is part of the design as it connects to both ports to serve as a loop to hook it in a bag. Its fairly light weight means it won’t pull on the cable much so the only risk of it falling is by actually pulling on it.
As I mentioned, this power bank comes with two interfaces: a Lightning plug for Apple devices using the older connector and the more widely used USB Type-C. The button above is for bringing up the charge status.
Usage is very straightforward and the reversible cable is very, very convenient especially if someone with an older iPhone needs a battery top-up.
And yes, you can use other cables without a problem. The included lanyard-style cable is unique to this powerbank but any compatible cable end can plug to the main powerbank.
User Experience & Conclusion
To test the power bank’s stability, we charge a PD-compatible laptop using the Vention power bank and we see a total drain time of 1 hour and 38 minutes. Overall output is stable with the tapering of the output due to battery depletion compensation but overall very, very good output and efficient.
Overall, the Vention 5000mAh lipstick 20W power bank is a stylish product and a great recommendation for a loved one that carries an older iPhone but also has a USB-C product onhand but loves to enjoy a more trendy lifestyle. It supports Power Delivery (PD) up to 20W and its nifty lanyard cable pulls out anyone in a pinch. Available in 4 colors, it comes in a very durable body to protect the battery and circuitry inside. Would’ve been great if they designed a way to really secure the cable like a sliding lock notch but overall, its a very convenient design.
Available now from Vention Mall @ Shoppee Philippines and authorized dealers.
