Cheero Power Plus Danboard Version Battery Pack Review: Danbo goes Mobile!

Danbo, or Danboard, is a relatively well-known character around the world; if you don’t think you’ve ever specifically heard of Danbo, you’ll probably recognize him in one of these photos from the well known photo project called 365 Days of Danboard by Arielle Nadel (check out the whole Flickr album here). The Danboard character actually originated from a manga called Yotsuba&! who unsurprisingly plays the role of a robot made from cardboard boxes. I think Danboard is absolutely adorable, so when I saw Danboard featured on the cheero Power Plus battery packs, I had to take a look.

The three products we’re going to be looking at today include:

If you want to take a closer look at all the products in detail, I’ve put together a unboxing/review video to give you a better idea of how all these products look in person:

As you can see, some really great, well-made products to be seen, especially if you’re a fan of Danboard. As I mentioned in the video, I did do some more scientific testing of the battery pack charging performance which I’ve detailed below.

cheero Power Plus 10,400mAh Danboard Version

Using Battery Monitor Widget to keep an eye on the charge rate, the 10,400mAh Power Plus managed to charge my Moto G from 20% to 50% in a pretty spritely 40 mins despite starting off quite slowly. According to the recorded results, this would result in about 45% charged in an hour, though we can see from the history tab that at its peak charge rate the Power Plus was pushing almost 53% per hour. Compared then to the uNu battery pack I reviewed a few weeks ago which could only achieve about 37.5% per hour, the cheero Power Plus has shown some pretty impressive charging performance.

cheero Power Plus 6,000mAh Danboard Version

Likewise, like its 10,400mAh counterpart, the 6,000mAh starts off slowly, however does end up achieving quite a quick charge rate. Over the course of the brief test, the 6,000mAh Power Plus managed a very respectable 42% per hour which is likely more than enough for most people in need of emergency charging.

What I like about the cheero Power Plus battery packs

As I mentioned at the start, I’m extremely fond of Danboard, so the styling of both the battery packs is a big win in my books, and will be in yours too if you’re a fan or looking for something a bit different.
The charging performance from the battery packs is very impressive and is more than suited to your required uses
Both Power Plus battery packs are quite small and very portable, especially with the addition of the pouches that each battery pack comes with.

What I don’t like about the cheero Power Plus battery packs

While I’m sure it does require a bit more battery power, I’m a big fan of lights staying on or blinking while charging is occuring which the cheero battery packs don’t do; particularly with the Moto G where there isn’t a light to signify the device charging, it’s difficult to tell if the battery pack Â is charging or not.
On the 10,400mAh Power Plus, I’m a bit disappointed that they opted to add lights and a button on the face instead of making the eyes lights like on the 6,000mAh version, but that’s probably just personal preferences

Closing Thoughts

I really like both these cheero Power Plus battery packs; they perform the job they said they would and they look extremely unique. The fact that they’re themed and so well-made, you’ll definitely be the envy of every Danboard fan around.
