Getting ready for zombie apocalypse ehhh… we always need to be ready with our gears :)
Yeah mate :)
So anyone know if it will hold its charge for a decent length of time?
Will be pretty useless to me if it doesn't…
Told myself I wouldn't buy another portable charger. But then this hit 100 upvotes. Figured I should just join the crowd..
DAMMIT OZBARGAIN!
Now down to $22.99!! Bought one. Thanks OP.
It's a US $ rate - final price in AUD is $ 26.50
my bad. didn't realise. Thanks for the heads up.
Or $25.94AUD if using citiplus visa debit(via paypal) see hamza23's instructions.
I think no ozbargainer would/should pay at PayPal's horrendous exchange rate. :)
$25.35AUD if using bankwest platinum.
Mastercard > Visa
I've already have one from Kogan, this one is tempting me, ordered, thanks OP.
Anyone successfully ordered one using a Mac this morning? I have tried Firefox, Safari, chrome, but none of them working for me. I couldn't add the item to cart, was asked to clear cookies, which i have done multiple times and still not working. Maybe i just shouldn't spend this money…
Try using your phone, but u need to switch to full site first.
Thank you. I just tried with my Windows phone, still the same.
Tried repeatedly but couldn't get it to work. Worked fine when I used my Windows PC.
Out of 106 comments, 50 comments are only about them thinking the price has dropped without even looking at other comments.
Maybe they have too much OZBargain spirit that they can't wait to read and have to tell us all :)
Does anyone know if macbooks can be recharged with this?
From their website, they offer another series to do this, not this model:
Anyone have issues with not having their state in the address?
Comes up as 'non US'
But shipping address is taken from PayPal.
So I wouldnt stress about it :)
$26.50 each for paypal rates as now from this time of comment
Coupon code doesn't appear to work anymore.
Coupon code is NOT working for me.
Can't apply the code, says invalid code
Coupon code expired.
Yep, Dead for me too.. ah well.
Nice find. Deserves a Merit
whoaaaaaa…..Ozbargain sense is tingling
Anyone bought from them before? Are they reliable?
Very reliable. Never had a problem in 15+ purchases.
Cheers, Altomic. Bookmarked aliexpress.
how's the Sweden Post delivery service? are you required to sign? can they just leave the parcel at your front door?
it comes to aust and is picked up by austpost.
so it becomes like an austpost poackage. i.e. you have to go to your locak post office to pickup if you miss the postal officer
nice price. But 60 day delivery :(
shipped 10 days ago and they say most customers get it in 2 weeks. So we'll see if it shows this week.
let us know when you receive it
just got it today! within the timeframe they said.
battery in a sturdy box; comes with USB - micro USB cable. You'll need to provide a 5V USB charger or plug into PC's USB. Feels sturdy, clean white/grey colour scheme, english and chinese instructions.
Hopefully the battery is decent and actually goes the distance.
Just ordered one for AUD$34.78 and forgot to try the code.
for that price i rather order from eBay.
$35.90 Delivered.
Highly recommend these chargers, I've got 2 of the 5200mAh ones (Sofun 2), charges my SGS3 around twice from empty and has a little torch built in :) only issue I noticed with mine is that iPhones on iOS7 sometimes don't like it.
Anyone else have their order refunded?
Just ordered mine from Aliexpress.
Will let you guys know when i receive it.
Just received mine today. ordered on 11/3/2014. Came fully charged and the build feels really good but doesn't have an LED light as mentioned in one of the posts here.
Does anyone know if it's safe to charge these with a 2.1A 10W ipad charger? The max input on this appears to be 5V 1A which works out to be 5W. Would like to charge the battery faster when i am travelling.
Also, has anyone received one with an inbuilt LED light? :)
nope..no LED light on mine…I've got a 12W 5.2V 2.4A iPad Charger…you go first :)
Hahaha.. i bought the Kogan power bank as well and have had problems with the charging ports of the 2 units they have sent me. Now waiting for a 2nd replacement Kogan unit. Don't think i will risk this Romoss power bank, which has been working really well so far, by using a high powered charger with it.
hehe..yeah…who knows what will happen!
I received mine yesterday at the office….I used a 12W 5.2V 2.4A iPad Charger until it's fully charged…works fine
Mine shipped today.
Will let you know when arrived!
Im interested to know if the one u ordered is legit from the fake/real comparison near the bottom of this page
http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1594738389.html?tracelog=stored…
I ordered mine from meritline and it seems its not fake (except mine didnt come with a protective pouch)
will let you know when it arrives.
thanks for the link!
Mine got delivered on friday last week. Packaging was a lil damaged.. but I guess thats what packaging is for. It takes a lot of time to charge fully. I can charge my s3 and ipad mini fully with it. Anyone else noticed long charging times on this unit. Mine takes 4 hours.
Mine arrived last week but I only got around to picking it up from the PO Box today.
Unit seems well built, hefty weight to it. Just stuck my SGS3 on it to see how it goes.
Seems to have 1 x 2A and 1 x 1A USB charging slots. So one for Ipad and one for Phone?
A bit bulkier than I expected but should get around 4 full charges of the phone out of it at least I hope.
Was going to write something but then realised I could just copy and paste your post. I did exactly the same thing and had exactly the same thoughts lol.
I only got 2 full charges but i have a pretty old phone (htc sensation) so that could be why
I have gotten multiple charges on my S3 - a couple from sub 15% and another 3-4 from around 40% and it still wasn't flat. Pretty happy with mine!
Yeh I've tested it too. Got 75% of my iPad 2 which is about 5000mah+ and then still has 1 light left after 50% of my 2800mah battery. Considering I was using these devices from some of the charge time it should hit that 80-90% of effective charge nicely… or something like that - I don't really know the details but there's always energy lost somewhere.
Received mine today. Looks sleek and came fully charged. Haven't tested it yet, but thanks again OP this will be much useful on my holiday :)
is everyone else still waiting for theirs?
I have looked at the tracking they gave me and so far its been 12 days in customs?
apparently it was shipped on 17th…… still not here
I'm also still waiting.
Some people may receive it faster than others. In my case, it arrived late. I bought on 11 March. Shipped 17 March. Received on 11 April. Just a reference
got mine a couple of days ago - seems like a solid product (whether its fake or not!)
Can this thing be charged up then left for say 6 months, and still be able to recharge a phone etc (ie: does it hold its charge)?
This could be something for the bug-out bag :)
