    if anyone has an Ali account and you copy a link of any item at all in your order history ("my orders" section) of items it seems to add on an extra string - not sure what it is but (unfortunately for me in this case) it's not an affiliate kickback link!

    no.

    you need 45W output typically for that.

    costs about 40 to 50 euro for one of those

    e.g. mi power bank 3 pro

    https://www.xiaomi.ie/xiaomi-mi-3-pro-45w-20000mah/

    Is that website legit?

    Definitely not an official site

    That's a virtual address - not a real business address
    Quick check on reviews and EU plug supplied so...

    button just turns on display (which comes on anway when charging in or out)

    usb a ports always for output only and 5v 2A (10W)

    usb c for fast charging input or output (up to 9V 2A or 18W)

    lightning for 5v 2A charging input or output

    micro-usb for 5v 2A input

    So I paid €45 at Harvey Norman for an Adata with QC 3.0 and USB-C and a digital battery readout last weekend. Can verify the QC does register as "fast charge" on a Samsung Galaxy and you can fast-charge it up. Too bad the thing is nearly the size of a laptop brick!

    This looks as good spec-wise so if the QC works and it's smaller that would be great even if the capacity isn't as high as advertised.

    Received already today from Germany (has selected Czech Rep as Germany button was disabled at time of ordering). Very happy to report it also fast charged my phone. Was able to fast charge it as well. Little read-out is neat it displays the voltage and amps. Pretty much the same size (140x68x28cm) and weight as the more expensive one from Harvey Norman.

    Got mine today, no idea why I ordered one really. Anyway, it's a lovely shade of green. Does it ever get to 100 when charging, or is 99 the most it gets to?

    Ordered mine from Poland, but came from Germany. Just nice to be able to order something on AliExpress from Europe to be delivered here, so many items have multiple countries as options and none post to Ireland.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Thanks, I had it in my head I waited a lot longer for it to go from 99 to 100 but I think it was probably my imagination, I'll try again in the morning.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Wouldn't get obsessed if the reading only goes to 99 instead of 100 unless you have really bad OCD tbh

    It will work fine at 99

    So I guess folks here are recommending this - should I or shouldn't I :-)
    I have only ever used Anker power banks (2) - but lost the main one recently, have a smaller one - but due to Amazon not delivering power banks anymore, looking for an alternative

    Haha, that's another thread entirely... 1,2,3,4.


    Oh and thanks for the clarification of what port does what. (and your initial post too)

    Yep, I was exactly the same with Amazon which is why I paid twice as much at Harvey Norman. I got this and it seems equivalent to the locally bought one. Obviously, none of us here have had them to say about quality but I can confirm it didn't get hot charging or being charged. I'd say the chips in these things which regulate safe voltage/QC are widely available at this stage so it blowing up isn't too likely. For the money, why not try one and join the party?

    It has arrived and it’s on charge - waiting for it to hit 100% not 99% :-)

    I just copied the link from chrome when I was logged into Ali - no affiliate on my part anyways unless inserted by some extension on Chrome

    Boards sometimes adds affiliate tags to links I believe - pays for the electricity i guess.. they have mentioned this a few times.


    I got recently a USB power bank at a boot sale - so sorry no link - as well as usb and torch it can start my car - its really amazing - my car being left up over covid months has knackered my car battery so this tiny power bank has saved me several times. You get 3 or 4 car starts on a charge.

    There is no model name on it - so I cannot be sure - but Its looks exactly like the one below.

    $21 !

    How do you start a car with a power bank? Is it an electric car?

    Edit- nevermind, saw the leads in the link. What car boot sale was it?

    Mine arrived today but 2 ports look broken. The left USB A and the lightning port.
    The USB A looks fixable by plugging in a cable but not sure about the lightning port:
