Well the stated capacity is apparently a lie based on the reviews, so that casts some doubt on its reliability. Could be fine though.belmichel wrote: ↑ This one might offer a better deal at $40.95 ($5 off coupon) with 15W wireless, 30,800mAh, and 25W PD QC4.0.

Not an Anker so I can't speak of its reliability, but it's been on my watch list for a while.
Keep in mind that powerbanks are NOT permitted in checked in luggage. And power banks allowed for carry-on baggage in the aircraft cabin must not exceed 100 Wh, or equivalent to less than 27,000 mAh. So you MAY have an issue bringing this onboard with you if you travel.belmichel wrote: ↑ This one might offer a better deal at $40.95 ($5 off coupon) with 15W wireless, 30,800mAh, and 25W PD QC4.0.

I got one on the weekend and tried wireless charging today. When charging wirelessly, it was able to charge my 4355mAh battery from 20% to 100% with a bit left to spare (last LED on the indicator). I think wireless charging is simply less efficient as it gets really warm. I'm guessing that it will be able to give me 1.5 to 2 charges if I plug it into the battery instead of charging wirelessly.LondonBilly wrote: ↑ Really mixed reviews with this.

Anyone here have an my experience with this?
The cheapo brand X ones often have a bogus capacity, and 30800mAh is suspect as it's over 100Wh allowed on airlines. From a review:belmichel wrote: ↑ This one might offer a better deal at $40.95 ($5 off coupon) with 15W wireless, 30,800mAh, and 25W PD QC4.0.

After using it for a while I've noticed that it doesn't have nearly as much battery life as advertised. It won't fully charge my ipad pro with a 9237 mAh battery. Should easily be able to charge it. I watched a video confirming my suspicions and after tearing it apart, the power bank only had 8000 mAh capacity. Blatantly misleading item description.
In addition to the misleading item description, charging from usb c doesn't work. Initially it will output the power but then shortly after it stops charging the device.
You can spend half as much on a power bank that has the same actual capacity and that works properly.
I’ve been eyeing that thing since it was released, just can’t justify such a high cost.
Ya def not worth $200. It has 6x Lishen 21700 cells, so not even brand name Samsung or LG.OleSolskjaer wrote: ↑ I’ve been eyeing that thing since it was released, just can’t justify such a high cost.
If it drops to around $120 then we’re talking lol

He won't have any issues, 30,000 is a lie. probably half of that if he's lucky.Emporium wrote: ↑ Keep in mind that powerbanks are NOT permitted in checked in luggage.

Too bad RavPower is no longer sold on amazon. I have one of these that I had picked up a while back from amazon (when RavPower was still there) and it works very well. Even keeps my HP Elitebook powered for a few extra hours, which is nice. Had bought it for my daughter to be able to get that extra 2 or 3 hours on her laptop while in class and not needing to plug in. Then covid happened and she didn't need it much any more, so I've been using it and it has been great.
Problem is what it is LABELLED as. I know it is probably not even half that, but if you get stuck with a border agent who woke up on the wrong side of the bed, it doesn't matter what the "real" capacity is. And with some of this crap, they may even confiscate it for now having the appropriate safety labels.
Ive had mine for about a month and love it. I literally have a wireless charger everwhere I go. It is great. I have no clue what you are referring to on not being able to turn it off or charge once per cycle... I use mine on and off throughout the day.LondonBilly wrote: ↑ Really mixed reviews with this.
