    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy a high capacity USB power bank for charging Iphones and Ipads on the move. Ideally 20000mah+.
    Anyone seen any bargains. A lot of the Amazon ones say that they don't ship to Ireland.

    Picked up one of these recently. Not the cheapest or the most compact but is Quickcharge 3 enabled and has three outputs. Build quality is good and comes with a case and a long braided USB cable.

    Similar Anker brand batteries are nearly twice the price on amazon. No issues with delivery from mymemory either.

    The Amazon ones won't ship because it's a battery and prohibited. You could use AddressPal to get around it I think.

    Are these allowed on flights as carry on ? I'm flying tomorrow with a 10,000mh one and really don't want to have to bin it

    Should be fine as long as you carry on and you are not flying from restricted countries into UK or US.

    I forgot turkey and others were put onto some stupid new laws flying into UK and US as I didn't originate on that trip from the UK I forgot however these new stupid laws could come in. We had additional search getting on plane too.

    Have flown with my 10K mah battery several times with aer lingus, ryanair and emirates as recently as a couple of weeks ago, never had an issue. Just put it in the same tray as your phone for screening.
