A few days ago, I talked about ordering some goods on Oraimo for a very discounted price. I was able to get more than a 30% discount on the product plus a free item worth close to 50% of its price. Isn't that lovely?

So I happened to be with Pearl when my order arrived, but unfortunately we didn't get to take any pictures of us together, so there is no picture to share.

But here is the picture of the order when it arrived:

As I said earlier in this post, I was able to order this item for the price of 30,800 naira, taking a thousand naira for a dollar; this is equivalent to $30.8.

Immediately, I went in to unbox it, making sure to take pictures while unboxing it.

In the picture above, I placed the box on my table to see how best I could remove the nylon around the packaging. You know how these nylons can somehow be a little challenging to remove as they are always well sealed.

Finally I have been able to unpack the items and there are my two items. The first item which is my 40,000mah power bank and a selfie stick.

The Oraimo 40,000mah Ultra Capacity Powerbank

This power bank is a lithium battery type with two inputs, which means it can be charged either using a type C or a micro-USB port and also has five outputs.

This power bank comes with a fast charging technology called AniFast, and what this does is identify the fast charging protocol of your device and give it the best or fastest charge possible.

The Anifast technology is incorporated in the output 1, output 2 and output 5.

After removing the power bank from its packaging, it was placed in very smooth clothing. I love it! I think the clothing can be kept for future use; maybe a place to keep your power bank when not in use in order to prevent scratches.

There is something I forgot to mention about this power bank: the first input USB, which is the USB for charging, can also be used as an output to charge your phones or even your USB-type C laptop.

One more thing I like about this power bank is the flashlight that comes with it. I know that not many people are fans of flashlights in power banks, but this can be helpful in situations where you don't have a torch, and your power bank could serve that purpose instead of using the flashlight on your mobile device.

There is also something confusing I found while unboxing the power bank, and here it is:

Here is what was written in the paper:

We recommend that when using this product for the first time, use it normally until the battery level shows zero, then charge the product to 100%. This will complete the screen activation, allowing for normal use thereafter. Failure to follow the activation instructions may result in inaccurate displays.

and the second one, which was written on the power bank, says:

We recommend fully charging your power bank for the first use in order to correct the battery level display.

I feel these two instructions are against each other. The first instruction was saying I should use the battery until it is completely down, i.e., drain the battery, before charging it up to 100%, while the second instruction is saying I should fully charge the battery before my first use.

I don't know if I am not reading this well, but it got me confused at first as I didn't know which instruction to follow, but at the end, I chose to follow the first instruction by draining it before charging.

I have been charging for the past 4 hours now with a 30W charger, and the battery has only gotten to 27%.

What do you think about these two instructions?
