Also thinking of getting a small upto 5000 maH handy powerbank for travel. Aukey doesnt seem to deliver to India though.
Any other good brands to go for ?

Can some one please explain which type of powerbank to go for ? QC 2 or QC 3 ? I want it to be able to charge all devices.

Weird, can you confirm you ordered from the original Aukey store? I have ordered 3 so far, and all are doing great.

The packaging looked genuine and I was marveling at the price.

Better to go with reputed and trusted brands. Also the 2a charger and cable seems worth the price.

If you want to get good quality cables delivered quickly, get it from the Mi India website.

This cable is the one which comes bundled with the phone. I have been using it for 1+ yrs and some friends have also bought it. It is running great.

Since this is the same cable as the one which comes with the charger in the phone package, it carries 2A current without any issue.
I had a Bandridge cable (bought from Amazon India). It struggled to deliver 1A current effectively. But cable quality was great.

This one is cheap and effective. Buy as much as possible since they are not always in stock.

Thats from a 3rd party seller from Amazon.in. Don't be fooled by the packing.

Additionally, electronic equipment can fail - just get it RMA'd
 
I have the lightning cable by Cellbell and can vouch for it.
Excellent build quality and value for money amongst the available options.

Looking to buy a USB cable shortlisted these two.

http://www.amazon.in/BlueRigger-Pre...d=1497771266&sr=1-5&keywords=bluerigger+cable

Which of these do you guys think is better? Looking at cellbell there seems to be an awful lot of top reviewers reviewing the product little bit fishy because this is the first time I am hearing of them. Both are priced at 300.

Currently these are out of stock. But keep checking it. It comes in stock regularly.
These are the cables which come with the charger in the Mi phone box. Can carry 2A current easily. Will last for quite some time.
 
Actually more than length it depends on the gauge of the wire inside. I forgot which gauge was better - 22 or 24!
The cables sold in India do not mention gauge anywhere(mostly). So pretty hard to buy a 3rd party cable.
Also it is better to keep it within 100cm.

Anker makes good quality cables. The Mi one is very good. I am very happy with its performance. The Anker cable that I had got frayed in 8-9 months. This one is still going strong since 13+ months

Most long cables will have higher resistivity and hence won't be able to deliver 2A current. So the device will charge much slower.
I had a very long Bandridge cable. It really struggled with higher wattage chargers.

The ones with samsung phone are decent long and deliver 2A fast charge

The cable which comes with Sony CP-AD2 charger is very long and carries power properly. But I have not seen the cable being sold separately.

I bought the Sony cp-ab150 cable for my brother used it but found it to be a bit heavy when using it while charging
 
I connected my moto g4 turbocharger cable to my PC and it was charging at 280ma , connected to a Ac adaptor it charges at 2200ma
 
I think I need to enable the fast charging in the bios, I remember my gigabyte motherboard had this feature.
