INIU Power Banks are popular for their reliability, sleek design, and advanced features, offering a convenient portable charging solution for various devices. However, users may occasionally face issues such as the power bank not charging. Understanding the common causes and how to troubleshoot these issues can help ensure your device operates efficiently.
Troubleshooting INIU Power Bank Charging Issues
Common Causes:
- Faulty Charging Cable: Damaged or incompatible cables can prevent the power bank from charging. It’s essential to check the cable for visible signs of wear or damage and ensure a secure connection.
- Insufficient Power Source: An inadequate power source may not provide enough power to charge the power bank. Try using a different power source with the appropriate voltage and current output.
- Power Bank Overheating: Overheating can disrupt the charging process. Keep the power bank in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
- Battery Level and Sleep Mode: A critically low battery level or a power bank in sleep mode may not charge until addressed. If the power bank has a sleep mode, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to wake it up.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Check the Charging Cable: Inspect for damage and ensure it’s properly connected.
- Verify the Power Source: Use an alternative device to test the power source. If the device charges, the source is likely fine. Consider trying other power sources if available.
- Allow the Power Bank to Cool Down: If overheating is suspected, disconnect and let it cool before attempting to charge again.
- Check Battery Level and Wake Up Sleep Mode: Ensure the power bank’s battery isn’t critically low and wake it from sleep mode if necessary.
Additional Tips:
- Regularly read the user manual for specific instructions and maintenance advice.
- Avoid extreme temperatures to prevent damaging the power bank.
- Clean the charging ports regularly to remove dust and debris.
- Don’t overcharge or completely drain the power bank to maintain battery health.
- Check for firmware updates from INIU to resolve potential issues.

The process involves connecting the USB C input port to the USB A output port with the included USB cable, usually for less than 20 seconds. Some models may require pressing and holding the power button for about 16 seconds to reset. Ensure the power bank is charged or has some battery left before attempting a reset.
