Then comes the TZLA Magnum 15000 mAh power bank also by PowerLogic. This brother is theoretically 3 times bigger than the TZLA Slim 5000 mAh power bank – that’s a lot! This review will be very similar with the TZLA Slim 5000 mAh which you can always check it out here, so let’s get down to this review!
The experience is exactly the same as the Slim 5000 – even the box size is the same.
Contents and everything inside is also the same, so might as well just skip ahead.
Getting the same contents as the Slim 5000 – a charging cable, a user manual, the power bank itself, and a silicon case.
[nextpage title=”Usability”]This is where everything is different with the Slim 5000.
The TZLA Magnum 15000 is huge in size, with the thickness comparable to the Xiaomi’s 10,4000 mAh power bank. The Magnum is also a lot taller than the Xiaomi one, but a little narrower on length.
Main point of this power bank is that the Magnum 15000 has 3 times the battery capacity as compared to the Slim 5000, as told by the name. That translates to a much larger and heavier power bank, as expected.
To charge your device, you’ll have to manually press the power button after plugging the USB cable. I really hope that they have an auto-on feature, as even I myself had a lot of mistakes where I plugged it in and did not turn on the power bank at all.
In terms of the ports, there are two outputs – one 5V, 2.1A and another 5V, 1.0A output port. Then here comes another question – “Can I use both outputs at once?” The answer is – yes.
And yes, it even supports pass-through charging! A definite plus for those who travel a lot and doesn’t have the chance to charge the devices up.
One nice addition from the TZLA Slim 5000 series is the little screen that displays how much battery is still left in the power bank in terms of percentage. However the screen would not turn itself off, and that will cost some battery. The placement of this screen however is another issue… as there are many people who held this power bank and asked me this question :
I do realize one thing though, the product page over at PowerLogic’s website stated a bunch of protections but they don’t have self-charging protection. I have no idea what this is called, but when you connect the cable from the power bank’s output to its input, the power bank turns on automatically.
The rating of 15000 mAh didn’t exactly hold up, as the small little screen does use quite a bit of juice from the power bank itself. While charging my OnePlus One on the 5V, 2.1A output port, for some reason the entire power bank heats up to a point where it feels uncomfortably warm while charging. This heat also affects the capacity. Might be due to the plastic housing or the silicon case, whereby both of them do not conduct heat well.
It does however charge my OnePlus One from 6% of juice all the way up to about 50% in only 30 minutes on idle. That’s an amazing feat for a power bank!

I really do like the form factor of this power bank – it’s huge, but arguably acceptable for its capacity, and definitely a plus for its weight. The screen might need a little modification, but other than that, this is a very solid product by PowerLogic.
For the price of RM179, this power bank is great for those who are travelling where you need to use your devices for an extended period of time (days maybe?) without having to rely on a wall plug. You might even want to share this with a friend and charge everything at the end of the day.
Plus, you get a free silicon case that fits like a glove.
This is one power bank that I will recommend for those who want to get one with enormous capacity, and PowerLogic did a decent job here.
