CONCLUSION
FSP may be one of the leading PSU (power supply unit) manufacturers in the world but manufacturing power banks is something completely different so no one here knew what to expect from the PB Runner 10400mAh. Of course a manufacturer with a perfect track record like FSP wouldn't leave anything to chance but the truth of the matter is that we can never be certain about anything, at least not until we see for ourselves. Well after testing the PB Runner 10400mAh for almost 3 weeks and after using it with 2 tablets and 5 smartphones many times over we've concluded that it can output anything from 6900mAh and up to 7300mAh (we can't pinpoint the exact output unfortunately). True even 7300mAh is not the advertised 10400mAh but if you've been following our power bank reviews then you should know that no model ever delivers 100% of the advertised capacity so this was not unexpected. The upper side with this result is that it's better than we had hoped when we initially started testing the PB Runner 10400mAh and certainly much better compared to many other power banks (perhaps due to the Samsung cells used or the craftsmanship a company like FSP can offer). Recharging the battery takes slight less than 6 hours which is not bad at all for a power bank with a real capacity near 10000mAh.
The PB Runner 10400mAh is a rather new product so we didn’t' expect to find the best availability around. However things are even worse since we were unable to locate it anywhere online, at least not in the usual places we look when we finish our reviews. Still FSP assured us that this will change very soon and that the PB Runner 10400mAh has a recommended price tag of USD49.9/49.9Euros inside the USA and EU. Well if that's on the spot we're talking about a very honest offering by a very large manufacturer and i really don't think you can go wrong with it so if roughly 10000mAh is sufficient for your use and you don't care much about the rather simple design then simply go for it, it did get our Golden Award after all.
