That's half the capacity though, no fast charging and no display readout.

Also more limited ports

As has been said, not as good as the one in this thread, but if you need one in a hurry from bricks and mortar it'll do a decent job too I'd expect. If I hadn't got one of the thread power banks I would have probably picked one of the Aldi ones up, the guarantee from Aldi is always nice too.

Yes if it's 13 euro then not bad for a shop here if you want a light one and don't need faster charging

I'm wondering if my order is delayed or has gone astray. This is what I can find in the tracking section of AliExpress. I'm not sure if that just reports it as being delivered to the postal facility or to a home address. I certainly haven't received it. Checking back over the CCTV nothing was delivered around that time.

That looks like UPS tracking. Did you pay to have it sent express ?

Nope. Just bought it as usual from the site. The tracking information is for DHL.

Fairly impressed with this charger, it's the only one to charge my Pixel 5 with a rapid charge so far....

Used about 25% of it, with size of battery in phone seems to make sense...

It should fully charge that 4,080 mah battery 0 to 100 about three and a bit times.

think that it was An Post who delivered it but not sure as was just put through the door.

Was at "postman" time tho so would be relatively sure that it's An Post.

Could try looking at your tracking number in the An Post system - slim chance that you might find something there

just checked the aliexpress tracking number in an post tracking and it was there (dhl packet from Germany to An Post)

so you could try to follow up with an post

CoBo55 · 15-06-2021 12:09pm

Looks like DPD are handling mine it has been dispatched already. I ordered mine from France as they were the only supplier with blue in stock. 1 email and 1 text so far, about 5 more of each to go, I can't fault them for notifications anyway:D

Opened a dispute anyway.

Anyone remember there was a deal on Bargain alerts for an xiaomi 10000 powerbank, for around $15 on ali, I bought one at the time, worked perfectly until it got hit with a grass mower a few weeks ago. Already tried searching the forum. Was just wondering how long I had it for.

Edit, it was January 2017

nc6000 · 15-06-2021 2:42pm

Have just bought one, says it will be delivered on the 30th.

That's not how it works.

20000mah at 3.6v Vs 5100mah at 5v

All power banks are at 3.6v
All phones are at 5v

Then I'm confused as my phone has a 33W adapter and a 3A-rated USB-C cable and fast charges with that, and the power bank can output 9V/2A or 12V/1.5A or even 5V/3A but I'm not seeing these.

The battery pack input is able to charge at 9V/2A ok as per spec.

kave2 · 15-06-2021 4:39pm

Just received mine. Currently charging, looks good so far.

Because he's talking about a battery capacities at different voltages not charging speeds.

Wh=mAh × Voltage ÷1000

At 3.7V capacity is 20000mAh

74wh

At 5v for your phone @ 5100mAh

25.5wh

So at 100% efficiency it would charge your phone 2.9times. It's only 74% efficient based on a quick google (is wasted through heat) so 2.15 times.

15-06-2021 6:50pm

I'd say there is about 70Wh available, allowing for efficiency - the Russian guy's test (link somewhere in thread) got about that

that's a reasonable result

the power bank can only charge out at 18W (9V 2A etc) through the usb-c port and the cable has to be able to support that also and the device has to be able to accept at least 18W

mine arrived this morning. Delivered by the postman. I ordered it from Belgium.

brightkane · 16-06-2021 1:36pm

Thanks OP

Just ordered black from Belgium.

I have 2 older power banks but they are temperamental so this will be a good addition.

My phone is charging at 9/1.8 today. If I press the button it goes back to 5v. so nice to have the fast charging.

buyer95 · 16-06-2021 10:26pm

Power bank arrived today. Seems to be a very decent piece of kit. I'm a total idiot when it comes to voltage so just a few questions.

Put it charging with the charger it came with and was only getting 5v. Changed to my charger for my android (USB C fast charge) and it is charging at 9.2v. Is that the best way to charge this thing, with my phone charger?

fast charge it unless you like waiting 80% longer

deckie27 · 18-06-2021 8:16pm

So in simple terms I charged my phone and another taking from and to%
Eg from 15% - to 80% = 65% battery
@ 5160mah capacity so charged 3354mah

From full charge the power bank charged 13,160 mah of battery power most of this at QC 3.0

As with others this seems good to me but I can't figure the last bits of maths &#55357;&#56835;

convert total capacity to Watt Hours to remove the voltage difference

Power Bank -> 20000 Mah x 3.6V = 72 Watt Hours

Phone Battery -> 5160 Mah x 5V = 25.8 Watt Hours

72 / 25.8 * 90% charging efficiency = 2.51 times

2.51 times x 5160 Mah = 12950 Mah - close enough. in fact the charging efficiency is actually maybe a bit better than 90%

Yip, Watts are the way to calculate it.

There are a few different links on the first page, could someone please post the link for the powerbank that people are buying and recommending?

timple23 · 21-06-2021 10:01am

So I've opened a dispute and i get this response from seller

hello dear,
we just see your package was delivered already.
and because we can not make sure who received this package, please take your
ID Card and Aliexpress Order Information go to the local post office or contact the logistics company directly to issue a Proof of nothing you received,
then show me here, ok?

the proof of nothing received should include Logistic number, stamped by the post office. Package content (products you bought), certifying that the content of the copy indicates that you don’t receive this package any more

Accompanied by a photo of a letter written in spanish dated 9th March 2021 and says Barcelona with a GLS logo. Also the link for tracking shows that Package was shipped out, but when I entered tracking on DHL website all i get is "
The instruction data for this shipment have been provided by the sender to DHL electronically."

Is there any way I can just escalate to Ali so I don't have to keep rejecting seller's proposal?

CoBo55 · 21-06-2021 10:27am

Mine arrived this morning I plugged it into the honor laptop charger, charging at 9V 2.0A it looks a very nice piece of kit.
