Which Apex Model Fits You?
Apex PB445 for fast charging. The top model offers 45W two-way Turbo Fast Charging and a glass top design. The “two-way” part means the power bank can both charge devices quickly and be recharged quickly. At ₹2,899, it is the pick for people with fast-charging phones or small laptops that accept 45W.
Apex PB400 and PB400 Pro for everyday carry. Both have 20,000mAh capacity and 22.5W two-way charging. The Pro costs ₹400 more at ₹2,599. The launch details we reviewed do not spell out what extra the Pro adds beyond naming, so check the product page for the difference before paying extra.
Apex PB332 MagnaCharge for wireless convenience. This 10,000mAh model offers 22.5W wired and 15W magnetic wireless charging, plus a built-in foldable stand. It is handy on a desk or bedside table, and at ₹1,999 it is the cheapest of the four. Magnetic wireless charging typically suits compatible phones and cases, so confirm yours supports it.
All the models are said to have dual-port connectivity and built-in cables, which reduces the need to carry extra wires.
How Many Charges Can You Expect?
A 20,000mAh power bank does not deliver a full 20,000mAh to your phone, because some energy is lost in conversion. In practice, think of roughly 60 to 70 percent of the rated capacity being usable, which can still mean two to three full charges for many phones. A 10,000mAh model gives about one to one and a half charges. Wireless charging is slower and less efficient than wired charging.
Buying Tips
Match the output to your device. A phone that supports 45W will not charge at full speed from a 22.5W bank. If you fly, remember that airlines limit power banks to specific capacities and require them in cabin baggage, so check the rules before travelling. Prefer reputable brands with safety certifications and keep power banks away from heat.
It also helps to recharge your power bank overnight on a regular schedule, rather than waiting until it is completely empty, and to avoid leaving it in a hot car. If the casing swells, smells unusual or gets very hot while charging, stop using it and contact the brand’s support.
What Is Not Confirmed?
We have not tested these power banks, so real charging speeds, heat and capacity are unverified. Prices may change during sales. They are listed on Amazon.in, Flipkart, boAt’s official platform and retail channels. For the company’s background, see boAt on Wikipedia or the official site.

Power Bank Safety and Care Basics
Even a budget power bank is a lithium battery, so a few simple habits keep it safe and long-lasting. Use the cable that came with it or a certified one, avoid charging it under a pillow or in direct sunlight, and do not use a unit that has been dropped hard or shows swelling. Keep it out of very hot places such as a parked car in summer.
When you shop, compare the output ratings written on the unit with what your devices accept. A phone that charges at 45W will only draw what the power bank can give, and some laptops need more than 45W to charge at all. If you carry the bank on flights, keep it in hand luggage and check the airline’s watt-hour rules, which are printed on most banks in small text.
Finally, treat festival sale prices with care. Check the listing for the exact model number, look at buyer reviews after the first few weeks of sale and keep the invoice so that warranty claims are easy.
