Belkin BoostCharge 15W 10000mAh USB-C Portable Power Bank Black

This power bank heats up my phone or AirPods every time I use it. It makes them very very hot, and the phone is new! It was a gift but I'd like to return it.

Stopped working after 6 months. Seems like a lot of people are having the same problem. It charges up itself, but doesn't charge anything plugged into it

Just got it but so far definitely loving it!!!!! I find myself out and about alot and if I'm in my car it has to be on in order for me to be able to charge my phone, so this power bank is exactly what I needed!!! I was a little skeptical about it because I've gotten power banks in the past that didn't work very well, but this one definitely works very well and has been fully charged since I got it!!! Plus it's Rose Gold colored instead of black or white like everything else. Definitely recommend!!!

I was traveling to London and forgot to bring a power bank, so I purchased this at the airport (for what turns out was double the price). Then get to London only to find out that I can't charge the power bank without a USB-A plugin. Very disappointing, for what is otherwise a product I immediately enjoyed using. Nowhere on the box does it indicate this.

Bought at airport, was happy it charged my phone out of box. Could never get the Power Bank to recharge via the USB C. Support chat took :30 min and was't paying attention, kept telling me to to send a jpeg of device after receiving SN and Model number. Then said it came with cable when it did not and blamed that as issue. I used three different USB C to USB C cables and a couple different wall chargers with none of them being able to charge the power bank. Bummed I over paid for a branded power bank that doesn't work properly and has no resolutions. Stick to the cheap no-name devices, at least when expectations of support isn't met, it won't compound the frustration of purchasing a device that doesn't work right.

Actually is a good power bank. However it has useless instructions/support. I have this a year or so, and went looking to charge it up again for a forthcoming trip. Logically it seems like a USB-C power block to the USB-C input would be best. So I did that, and .... nothing happened. Note that it took a while to work out nothing is happening since in normal operation there are no lights displayed anyway. It was only through reading another review on here that I found that a USB-A power block to the USB-C input is the only way to charge this block. (You do not need the specific supplied cable, any USB-A to USB-C will work). Why Belkin cannot make this clearer, preferably on the device itself, or at least on the rather useless support page (why is there not just a simple one-page PDF user-manual?) is beyond me. If you are still reading this far: 1) The button on the side always displays the current status of the block, even if nothing is being charged. That is it's only function. 2) When the block is being charge (using a USB-A power input to the USB-C middle connector) then the lights show up, solid for the already charged and flashing for the power sector being charged. eg. right not mine has 1 solid light an 1 flashing light showing it has >25% but <50% charge. 3) When the block is charging something, the lights show up in the same way.

I bought this at the airport when I was running out of power on my way to Brazil. No instruction but I was assured it would work with my iPhone 15 pro max and my laptop. It works with neither. I can charge it. But it's basically a useless brick of unreachable power. I paid $65 at the airport. Utter waste.

Purchased this on a recent trip as my phone ran out of power. It served its purpose out of the box, but the issue is with the charging, as others have stated. You can only use the supplied cable to charge the device, which makes absolutely no sense. It's a USB-C which plugs into the unit, and a USB-A on the other end. I'm sure they made this decision either to save money on the production cost of the unit, or made the assumption that they could get additional revenue from cable purchasers once you lost the one supplied. This is one of my first Belkin products and based on this charge bank experience, it will probably be my last one.

Works well so far. My power bank is green. That color was not available when I registered it.

You'll see countless reviews here saying that you can't recharge the unit. This is entirely Belkins fault, and frankly I'd like an explanation from them. After using the Power Bank to flawlessly recharge my iPhone & watch over a two day camp, I then set about charging the power bank. I plugged it into my reliable Satechi power brick (which has 2x USB-C PD ports, and 2 USB-A ports). I plugged it in via usb-c (on both ends) using a good quality cable - It didn't charge. I changed ports (as one has a higher power rating than the other) - it didn't charge. I then used the supplied, ridiculously short, usb-a to usb-c cable - I plugged it usb-c to the power bank and usb-A to my power brick - and now it is charging. So what is going on? Looking carefully at the packaging it doesn't say usb-pd anywhere - so I guess it can't be charged from a usb-pd port?? How nuts is that! None of the technical information or FAQ or packaging mentions this very important limitation!

Buyer beware - bought 2 of these for Europe trip - neither could charge! Neither one of these power banks charge more than 1 light. Tried multiple plugs, multiple cables, nothing. Have loved Belkin products in the past, these are horrible, now just paper weights.

Worst power bank I've ever used. This power bank does not change. I charge it all day and overnight and it's still on one bar. Unless I have a dud - avoid

I bought the gold colored 10k Belkin 5 years ago and it has worked so well I bought 4 more for Christmas gifts this year for my kids and their spouses.The gold is not offered anymore and it came with 2 USB -A and 1 micro USB that you charge it with.I use the old gold all the time still and it hasn't failed me. I bought pink's and blue's and love the colors for my kids.I probably will treat myself to one of the new ones with the USB-C although my old one is still going strong.

Needed some portable chargers and bought 4. Connected them to fast USB-C chargers for hours, and nothing happened. No blinking light, no progress lights - nada. I tried Apple USB C cables, Thunderbolt cables, third party USB-C cables. Nothing happens. The ONLY cable that works to charge the Powerbank 10K is the included 5" USB-A to USB-C. It must be a nonstandard USB-C port in that it only recognizes Belkin's cable. But - what a stupid decision. Fast charge? No. Moved to your gear to USB-C? Better hold on to an old charger just for this PowerBank. For a product that claims it frees us from having to charge all the time, it actually requires two additional items to be in your carry if you ever want to charge it. This is so "un-Belkin-like" I can't even believe I need to warn others about this dud product. Shame on you, Belkin .

Heavy, but powerful. Recharged our, and others phones on a multi-day tour away from power outlets for 16-18 hours each day.

Don't shop with Belkin direct. Their customer service is non existent.

Battery promotes 78 hours worth of charge but thats total cap. Most i've gotten out of it is like 15 max before it dies. Recharging the battery to full charge takes wayyy too long, I have plugged it in completely dead, came back about 4 hours later and it was barely half charged. And my biggest issue is the charging cable provided to charge the battery - why did yall think it was a good idea to make it like 5 inches long? You have to have something just the right height next to the outlet to sit it on otherwise you're straight out of luck. I have tried using other charging cables for it and it wont accept it, only the cable provided will work. It has been useful sometimes but totally not worth the $40 I spent. If I had known I definitely would not have bought this.

Purchased a pre-charge power bank, BPB 011, but it was only charged to 50%. Tried charging later, only charges to 75%.

Worked twice. Now won't charge my phone at all. It's fully charged, all four lights come on but it won't charge my phone. I am using the same cable that I have always used. Cable is fine. Now it's just a frustrating paperweight. I don't have the money to waste on things that aren't going to work.

charges fine but sometimes randomly stops charging and the usb-a to usb-c charger doesn't fit my iPhone 14 Pro so I have to use another cord. Any idea why this is???? Alternatives??

Bought it, charged a cell phone from 50 % to 100 %, that worked. Then when I figured out how to charge the belkin back up, it remained at 3 blinking lights ( indicating it is being charged ?) for 8 hours, Never got to a 4 light charge .

You have to dig deep down through internet to figure out how to charge the power bank in order to use it. It's crazy. This should be 100% intuitive.

it does not have power passthrough. its totally useless if you want to use it as auto power failure backup for a router or camera. i mean, it can not charge itself and power up a device connected to it at the same time. when the charging of powerbank starts at usb-c port, it cuts off the power at usb-a ports. are you kidding me?

I've tried charging it through both the usb and usb-c ports and neither will even charge it to one of the dots

I bought the charger at the Curry's in Cheetham Hill (UK) in June 2022, and it worked fine for a while with my Android phone (though it is rather bulky and heavy). In recent months, even when fully charged it struggled to fill my empty phone to 40%, with the 5 lights on the side quickly fading to just one, and that involved my constantly unplugging and replugging because it would doze on the job. That's just not something you need to bother with when on the run, and it's a timely process. I would not recommend, sorry!

I have a puzzling problem, and phone support was not helpful. Of the four charge status lights, only the first shows life: it blinks steadily after the status button is pressed. I have left the unit plugged into a charging station for more than 24 hours with no change. Despite the fact that the status lights seem to indicate the unit is discharged, I can connect to my iPhone and see that unit is receiving power from the Belkin. Any idea what is happening?

I bought this about a month ago and only now tried it to charge my iPhone 15 and this power bank DOES NOT WORK FOR IPHONE 15. I tried using my apple provided USB-C charging cable into the USB-C port on the power bank, but it does not work. This product is falsely advertising that it can charge devices through the USB-C port but it doesn't. I'm upset now because it's too late to return the product to my local store. If you have an iPhone 15 DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Deserves 0 stars. Can't get it to charge. Tried 2 different cables and 2 different proven sources. Not intuitive. But also no instructions on how to get it to work. Heading back to Walgreens to return it.
