Flipkart launches ‘Made for India’ power banks starting at Rs 799

E-commerce market place Flipkart had recently launched a budget smartphone called Billion Capture+, and now the company has launched a range of Power Banks, called the Billion Power Banks, under its Made for India brand.
These power banks come in two storage capacities of 10,000mAh and 15,000mAh priced at Rs 799 and Rs 999 respectively. While the former is available in Copper and Black colour options, the latter comes in Rose Gold and Black colour options. Both are already exclusively available on Flipkart. The 10,000mAh battery power bank has three USB ports and weighs 260g whereas the 15,000mAh battery power bank has two USB ports and weighs 320g.

Both Billion Power Banks come with 5V/2.1A USB ports, that are claimed to charge twice as fast as regular 5V/1A power banks and are said to last up to 500 charge/discharge cycles. Also, they have an in-built temperature protection, which is said to protect the power bank from overheating while charging the devices and provide short-circuit protection. These power banks have A+ grade high-energy density Lithium-ion battery and are said to suffer less than 3-4% charge loss when left idle for one month. They also sport a torch light, for emergencies.

Hrishikesh Thite, category head, added, “Our range of power banks has been built with Indians’ needs at the core of its design – right from the colours, where research with customers showed Indians prefer rose gold and copper colours over the usual white and grey, to the multiple fast-charging ports. We’re delivering all of these thoughtfully designed features at a very compelling price point.”

Coming back to the Billion Capture+ smartphone, the handset comes in two variants based on RAM and storage capacities — 3GB RAM+32GB ROM and 4GB RAM+64GB ROM configurations. The 3GB RAM version costs Rs 10,999, while the 4GB RAM variant is priced at Rs 12,999. Both the variants will come in two colour options — Mystic Black and Desert Gold.
