![Three power banks priced in this read of Vijay Sales' shelf - the Rs. 1,499 Xiaomi Power Bank 4i, the Rs. 899 Swiss Military Electra and a Rs. 1,149 Ambrane Force 10K - shown in their own listing photographs]()
Twenty-three of the twenty-seven power banks on Vijay Sales' shelf print the same capacity in their own titles - 10,000 mAh. They cost Rs. 899 to Rs. 2,049. The extra Rs. 1,150 buys magnets, wireless output and a kickstand; it does not buy a single milliamp-hour more.
The discount badges sort by something else entirely. Apple states a list price 1.09x what it charges, Xiaomi 1.67x, and Swiss Military - on the cheapest battery here - states 5.33x and prints 81% off. Below: what each price actually buys, the brand-by-brand MRP multiples, and why 13 of these 27 rows are the same six products.
📅 Update log:
1 October 2026 — first published. The shelf was read on 1 October 2026 from vijaysales.com's own power bank category response, logged out, in India, with nothing purchased; 27 listings were returned. Capacity is taken from each listing's own printed title. Every selling price, stated MRP and discount badge quoted was read on that date, and every multiple is the stated MRP divided by the selling price.
The same 10,000 mAh costs Rs. 899 or Rs. 2,049
We read Vijay Sales' own power bank category on 1 October 2026, logged out, in India, with nothing purchased. 27 listings came back. Twenty-three of them state the same capacity in their own titles - 10,000 mAh - and they run from Rs. 899 to Rs. 2,049. That is 2.28 times the money for the same printed number.
The cheapest is a Swiss Military Electra at Rs. 899 with two USB ports. The dearest is a URBN 3-in-1 Curve MagTag at Rs. 2,049. In between, the money buys features rather than capacity: magnetic attachment, 15W wireless output, a kickstand, 20W or 22.5W wired charging. An EVM EnBolt with 22.5W and dual output is Rs. 999; a Xiaomi 4i with 22.5W is Rs. 1,499; the MagSafe-style models from URBN, Muvtech and EVM cluster between Rs. 1,399 and Rs. 2,049.
If you want a battery and nothing else, the bottom of this shelf is where the shelf ends - the only listing that states a larger capacity is the 20,000 mAh tier, where a Xiaomi 4i is Rs. 2,449 and two Ambrane Stylo listings are Rs. 1,799. The Ambrane at Rs. 1,799 states twice the capacity of the Rs. 2,049 URBN. Capacity figures here are the listings' own printed text and we have charged nothing to check them.
| 10,000 mAh at Vijay Sales, read 1 Oct 2026 | Price | Stated MRP | Badge | MRP multiple |
|---|
| Swiss Military Electra, 2 USB ports | Rs. 899 | Rs. 4,790 | 81% | 5.33x |
| EVM EnBolt, 22.5W, dual output | Rs. 999 | Rs. 2,399 | 58% | 2.40x |
| Ambrane Force 10K, 22.5W | Rs. 1,149 | Rs. 2,999 | 62% | 2.61x |
| Ambrane Stylo, fast charging | Rs. 1,199 | Rs. 1,599 | 25% | 1.33x |
| Xiaomi Power Bank 4i, 22.5W | Rs. 1,499 | Rs. 2,499 | 40% | 1.67x |
| Muvtech Slim II MagSafe, 20W PD | Rs. 1,599 | Rs. 5,999 | 73% | 3.75x |
| URBN Kickstand MagSafe, 20W | Rs. 1,799 | Rs. 6,999 | 74% | 3.89x |
| URBN 3-in-1 Curve MagTag, 20W PD | Rs. 2,049 | Rs. 4,999 | 59% | 2.44x |
The one-line version: every price in the table above buys the same stated 10,000 mAh. What separates Rs. 899 from Rs. 2,049 is magnets, wireless output and a kickstand - decide whether you want those before you read a single badge.
The less you know the brand, the bigger its list price
Divide each stated MRP by its own selling price and the shelf sorts itself by how familiar the name is. Apple states 1.09x. Xiaomi states 1.63x and 1.67x. Ambrane runs 1.33x to 2.61x. EVM runs 2.40x to 3.08x, URBN 2.31x to 3.89x, Muvtech 3.75x to 4.00x - and Swiss Military, on the cheapest listing on the shelf, states 5.33x.
That is the whole badge story. The 81% off at the top of this shelf is not a deeper discount than Xiaomi's 40%; it is a higher claimed list price. Rs. 899 against a stated Rs. 4,790 and Rs. 1,499 against a stated Rs. 2,499 are both just a price - the first simply has more headroom printed above it. An MRP is the figure the listing displays and we have not verified that any power bank here was ever sold at one.
The honest end of the shelf is the Apple listing. An iPhone Air MagSafe Battery at Rs. 10,899 against a stated Rs. 11,900 - 8% off, the smallest badge on the page, and the only listing that does not print a capacity figure at all. Nothing on this page alleges wrongdoing by Vijay Sales or by any brand named on it; this is a description of published figures on one shelf on one date.
| MRP multiple by brand, power banks, 1 Oct 2026 | Listings | Badge range | Stated MRP vs price |
|---|
| Apple | 1 | 8% | 1.09x |
| Xiaomi | 2 | 39% to 40% | 1.63x to 1.67x |
| Ambrane | 7 | 25% to 62% | 1.33x to 2.61x |
| EVM | 4 | 58% to 68% | 2.40x to 3.08x |
| URBN | 8 | 57% to 74% | 2.31x to 3.89x |
| Muvtech | 4 | 73% to 75% | 3.75x to 4.00x |
| Swiss Military | 1 | 81% | 5.33x |
Nothing on this shelf has a review
Not one of the 27 listings publishes a star average or a review count. Vijay Sales does not show them on this category, so a buyer comparing a Rs. 899 Swiss Military with a Rs. 1,499 Xiaomi has the price, the printed specification and the badge - and the section above is about how little the badge carries.
It also means the duplicate listings are hard to spot. Thirteen of the 27 rows are repeats: the Muvtech Slim II appears three times at Rs. 1,599 against the same Rs. 5,999; the URBN Kickstand twice at Rs. 1,799; the URBN Slide Pro, the EVM EnMag 17 Pro, the Ambrane AeroSync PB 12 and the Ambrane Stylo twice each at identical prices. These are almost certainly colour variants of six products rather than thirteen different batteries, which is ordinary retail practice - but with no rating counts to compare, the title and the price are the only way to notice.
Counting the repeats once, this shelf offers about twenty distinct products, of which sixteen or so state 10,000 mAh. On a shelf this small, searching the exact model name rather than browsing the category is the cheaper way to buy.

Method: how this shelf was read
Read on 1 October 2026 from vijaysales.com's own /c/power-bank category response through api_prep.py's Vijay Sales reader, logged out, in India, with nothing purchased; 27 listings were returned. Capacity is taken from each listing's own title, where '10000mAh' or '10000 mAh' is printed; one listing prints no capacity. Multiples are the stated MRP divided by the selling price. Listings are treated as repeats of one product where the printed title and the price are identical, and no claim is made about how the retailer classifies them. Category listings are ranked and change continuously, so a different reader on a different day will not see this same set of 27.
Before you buy: fix the capacity first (10,000 mAh covers one phone charge and a bit on most current handsets, by the brands' own arithmetic rather than ours), then decide whether you are paying for magnets and wireless output. The badge is the last thing worth looking at on this shelf.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a 10,000 mAh power bank cost at Vijay Sales in October 2026?
In this read of 27 listings, the 23 that state 10,000 mAh ran Rs. 899 to Rs. 2,049, with a median of Rs. 1,599. The cheapest was a Swiss Military Electra with two USB ports at Rs. 899; an EVM EnBolt with 22.5W charging was Rs. 999, a Xiaomi Power Bank 4i Rs. 1,499, and the magnetic MagSafe-style models from URBN, Muvtech and EVM between Rs. 1,399 and Rs. 2,049. These figures describe the listings returned on 1 October 2026, not Vijay Sales' full catalogue.
Why is one 10,000 mAh power bank Rs. 899 and another Rs. 2,049?
Not because of capacity - both print the same 10,000 mAh. The money buys features: magnetic attachment, 15W wireless output, a kickstand, 20W or 22.5W wired charging, and in some cases a built-in cable. The Rs. 899 listing is a plain two-port battery; the Rs. 2,049 one is a 3-in-1 magnetic charger. Whether those features are worth Rs. 1,150 to you is the actual decision, and no listing on this shelf carries a review to help you make it.
Are the 81% off power bank deals at Vijay Sales real?
The badge is arithmetic over two numbers the listing itself states. The 81% badge sits on a Rs. 899 power bank against a stated MRP of Rs. 4,790 - a 5.33x multiple, the largest on the shelf. For comparison, Xiaomi states 1.67x (40% off) and Apple states 1.09x (8% off) on the same page. An MRP is the figure the listing displays and we have not verified that any power bank here was ever sold at one, so a bigger percentage means a higher claimed list price rather than a measured saving. No wrongdoing by Vijay Sales or any brand is alleged; compare the rupee prices instead.
Does Vijay Sales show ratings on power banks?
Not on this category. All 27 listings in this read published no star average and no review count. That is how the shelf behaves rather than a quirk of our read. It also makes the duplicate listings harder to see: 13 of the 27 rows repeat six products under identical titles and identical prices, which on a marketplace would usually be visible through differing rating counts.
Is a 20,000 mAh power bank better value here than a 10,000 mAh one?
On stated capacity per rupee, on this shelf, yes. Two Ambrane Stylo listings state 20,000 mAh at Rs. 1,799 - less than the Rs. 2,049 URBN that states 10,000 mAh - and a Xiaomi 4i states 20,000 mAh at Rs. 2,449. The trade is size and weight, and none of the 20,000 mAh listings here offers magnetic or wireless charging. Capacity figures are the listings' own printed text; we did not buy or charge anything, and real delivered capacity is always lower than the cell rating for reasons of voltage conversion that no listing on this page discusses.
Prices & codes last verified: October 1, 2026
Zoutons may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page. Every selling price, stated MRP and discount badge here was read on 1 October 2026 from vijaysales.com's own power bank category response, logged out, in India, with nothing purchased; 27 listings were returned. Every count, median, range and multiple describes those listings on that date rather than Vijay Sales' full catalogue, and a power bank sold there that did not appear in this category response does not appear here; category listings are ranked and change continuously, so a different reader will not see the same set. An MRP is the figure the listing displays and we have not verified that any product here was ever sold at one, so every percentage and multiple on this page is arithmetic over two numbers the seller chose rather than a measured saving; the observation that stated MRP multiples are larger on less familiar brands is a description of published figures on one shelf on one date and is not an allegation of mispricing, misleading advertising or of any breach of the Legal Metrology Act, the Consumer Protection Act or any other law, rule or platform policy by Vijay Sales, by VS Retail, or by Apple, Xiaomi, Ambrane, URBN, EVM, Muvtech, Swiss Military or any other brand or seller named or unnamed, and no wrongdoing is alleged or implied. Listings are described as repeats of one product where their printed titles and prices are identical; that judgement is made on published text alone, we have handled none of these items, and listing colour variants separately is ordinary retail practice. Capacity in milliamp-hours, wattage, MagSafe and magnetic attachment, wireless output, pass-through charging, port counts, cycle life and 'fast charging' claims are the listings' own printed text, reproduced as printed and not measured, charged or tested by us - the energy a power bank actually delivers to a phone is always less than its cell rating, and nothing here is a statement about real-world capacity, charging speed, battery safety, airline carriage rules or fitness for any purpose. We did not buy, unbox, charge or use any item on this page. Product photographs are the listings' own images as published on vijaysales.com and may be styled or retouched. Prices change without notice and can differ at checkout after coupons, bank offers, exchange offers or delivery charges; the price shown at your checkout prevails over anything here.
