The power bank is never the problem on a trip. It’s the cable you left in the other bag. The VRURC 20,000mAh power bank (model T2066) gets around that by building the cables in: Lightning, USB-C and Micro-USB for your devices, and a USB-A cable to recharge the power bank itself. We paid $50 for it.
What’s in the box
A square, black 20,000 mAh power bank with a fabric-look finish, three flat cables clipped into the back, a USB-A cable on the side, a USB-A port, a USB-C port and a small display that shows the battery percentage. Nothing else is in the box, and nothing else is needed. Ours is black, and it also comes in Green, Blue, Pink and White.

The built-in cables
Three flat cables sit in grooves on the back of the power bank: one Lightning, one USB-C and one Micro-USB. Each one clips in flush, so they don’t catch on anything in a bag. Pull out the one you need and plug it in.
Between them they cover almost anything you take camping: older iPhones on Lightning, newer phones, tablets and head torches on USB-C, and the older lights and speakers that still use Micro-USB. With the USB-A port as well, the power bank can charge up to four devices at once.
The fourth cable is for the power bank itself. It’s a USB-A cable that loops out from the side and docks back into the body, so you can recharge it from any USB socket in the car or on a wall charger without finding a cable first.
The trade-off is that the cables are part of the power bank. If one wears out, you can’t swap it for a new one.
Charging and display
The power bank gives up to 22.5 W, with 20 W PD over USB-C, which is fast charging for a phone. That power is shared: with several devices connected, each one charges more slowly.
There are three ways to recharge it: the built-in USB-A cable, the USB-C port, or the built-in USB-C cable, which works in both directions.
The label gives two capacity figures. The battery holds 20,000 mAh (77 Wh), and the output capacity is 11,000 mAh at 5 V, which is what actually reaches your devices after the voltage is converted.
Next to the ports is a small display that shows the remaining charge as a percentage, so you know exactly how much is left. A press on the orange button on the side wakes it up.
Size and weight
It measures 9.5 × 8.9 × 2.6 cm, so it’s nearly square and fits in the palm of a hand. It weighed 308 g on our scale with all four cables on board.
That’s heavier than the other VRURC 20,000mAh power bank we reviewed, which is 255 g, but that one needs separate cables. If 20,000 mAh is more than you need, the 10,000 mAh version has the same cables in a slimmer 241 g body for $30, without the fast charging. At 77 Wh this one is under the 100 Wh that most airlines allow in carry-on bags.
Conclusion: VRURC 20,000mAh Power Bank with Built-in CablesConclusion
The VRURC T2066 is a 20,000 mAh power bank that carries its own cables. Lightning, USB-C and Micro-USB are built in, a USB-A cable recharges it, the display shows the percentage, and it’s a compact square of 308 g. The power is shared when several devices are connected, and the cables can’t be replaced if one wears out. I paid $50 for it. For camping and travel, where a missing cable is the usual problem, it’s a very practical power bank.

- Campers
- Travellers
- Families
Yes. I paid $50, and for that you get 20,000 mAh and every cable you need in one block. If you’d rather use your own cables and save some weight, the other VRURC 20,000 mAh is 255 g and has more ports.
