INIU P41: The Attached Cable Becomes a Little Carry Handle

A small power bank with a paw-print indicator and a built-in light.

Article published November 4, 2026.

This INIU power bank is smaller than I expected from the box. Then I notice the little paw-print indicator and the way the attached cable tucks into the side. Those are the details that make this unboxing fun.

A cable you do not have to remember separately

I pull out the attached USB-C cable, then fit it back into the holder to make a loop. It doubles as a small handle, and I demonstrate that releasing it involves moving it out of the holder rather than just tugging upward.

That is a convenient physical design for a phone-sized battery pack. I also take out the manual and support card before looking over the connections.

Sorting out inputs and outputs

I explain the built-in USB-C cable and separate USB-C port as the charging options, with the USB-A port used for output. It takes me a moment to phrase that clearly in the video: the ways to charge the bank and the ways to power another device are different things.

This part is a tour of the connections, not a measured charging-speed, capacity or simultaneous-output test. The 10,000mAh and fast-charging figures belong to the product listing.

The paw print has a job

Pressing the side button lights up the paw-print indicator to show the remaining battery level. I also turn on the small light and switch it off again. It is a simple extra, but one I can see being handy while carrying the pack around.

INIU sent this one over for the video. I also thank Geeksoutfit for the shirt I am wearing; that is separate from the power bank itself. The original Amazon and Patreon links supplied in this video's description are below.
