    goes with me on any trips business or family and its a godsend

        I have a current charge at the moment that I charged to full about 5 months ago and then used to charge a iphone 6 to full. I still have full bars on the powerbank

        Charge time sounds about right, I just usually plug it in at night and leave it

  • ESEMCE on 07/08/2015 - 11:32

    The GearBest $AU price is less than the real exchange rate (from $US to $AU), so best to pay in $AU through the site.

    Pretty sure it converts back to US$ when you checkout.. so no point even looking in any other currency.

  • placard on 07/08/2015 - 11:39

    Are these genuine or fake?

    I bought a previous Romoss (can't remember where from, but similar type website), and I think subsequently found it to be fake. However it works equally as good - providing 4 solid phone full charges.

    • hluu0111 on 07/08/2015 - 16:03

      Same story with me. I got this type of brick several years ago, can't remember where from (meritline? gearbest? bangood?) and I think subsequently found it to be fake too using guidance from several sites.

  • cakesy on 07/08/2015 - 12:07

    • Izefyre on 07/08/2015 - 12:13

      Most likely that's 30,000 chinese mah.

    • AngryAlfred on 07/08/2015 - 12:14

      Pretty sure that's fake, every picture I've seen from this brand has Romoss written on it, not Power Bank.

    • voter1 on 07/08/2015 - 13:40
      +4

      All of these large power banks use 18650 batteries inside them
      the classic xiaomi 10500 type uses 4 in a 4x1 pattern
      the newer xiaomi 16000 type uses 5 in a 3x2 pattern with one missing

      the romoss equivalent 10500 one uses 4 also but in a 2x2 pattern (so longer but thinner)

      this 20000mah one appears to be twice as wide physically so I would assume its a 4x2 pattern.
      this fake one above is still the standard 2x2 pattern so its physically impossible to fit that much charge in that small space.

      so just be aware that this OP 20000mah one is a big brick - its like 2 of the smaller 10500 ones glued together.

      • highground on 07/08/2015 - 16:19

        This ones shows as a 4x4 pattern on the product page.

        • highground on 07/08/2015 - 19:27

          Sorry, meant 2x4 as per Voter1 has assumed.

      I'd be concerned about leaving a li-ion/poly battery pack in the hot sun. Heat degrades them.

      • imcold on 07/08/2015 - 13:04
        +1

        I highly doubt you can fit 48000mAh into that tiny enclosure. I have one of a similar size and only 5000mah.

        • voter1 on 07/08/2015 - 13:55
          +4

          yeh its probably only 4800mah - what you call a chinese typo lol.

          Plus these solar ones are REALLY bad - from what I gather they take forever to charge and they never charge to full.

          For a real emergency you are probably better off with a hand crank (dynamo)
          something like this
          http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dynamo-Wind-Up-Torch-Mobile-Phone…

          although I've never tested it to say either way if its good or not.
          The specs do say its only 550ma rate of charge which is slow; but at least its weatherproof.

    • hoxygt on 07/08/2015 - 15:17

      A solar panel of decent quality would take a week to charge that - a solar panel associated with - "Solar Mobile Power Bank Accompany Your Livelong Trip" should take 3 times that amount of time.

      Oh Mr Phoebus, you do go on!

      Seriosly though, does your have the ability to charge a laptop? because that is something i could use

  • groook on 07/08/2015 - 13:15

    Not too sure about this one, no mention of a "Sense" series on Romoss's website at all and in the specs there's this " Capacity (mAh): Cell Capacity: 20000mAh, Rated Capacity: 12580mAh " wouldn't that make it a 12580mAh power bank??

    • voter1 on 07/08/2015 - 13:44
      +4

      I think there is 2 ways to report the capacity - xxx mah @ 5v and xxx mah @ 3.75v

      this is because the original 18650 batteries inside them are 3.75v and then the circutry converts it to 5v for USB use.

      so in this case its 20000mah @3.75v or 12580mah @ 5v.

      You can see here on a xiaomi powerbank they report both mah on the label but the bigger number is more prominent.

      https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7498/15864152647_b1b2fa1cef_b.…

      Also note that it says @ 1A usage - so in practice when charging @2A (which the powerbank is capable of outputting - you actually get less

    • cheapoguy on 07/08/2015 - 13:51
      +2

      Is this really a 20000mAh power bank though? Romoss' website lists a 20000mAh solo 9, but that doesn't have an LCD display.

      The closest match I can find for the advertised product is the solo 6 plus. And that is a 16000mAh power bank!

      • voter1 on 07/08/2015 - 13:57

        I cant speak to if its genuine or not but if its PHYSICALLY twice as big as the old 10500mah power banks then yes obviously its a "real" 20000mah.

        From the picture it does look twice as big as the 10500mah ones.

        • eug on 07/08/2015 - 14:42

          if its PHYSICALLY twice as big as the old 10500mah power banks then yes obviously its a "real" 20000mah.

      • groook on 07/08/2015 - 13:57

        That's my worry, chances are it's a fake

        • voter1 on 07/08/2015 - 14:02
          +2

          You probably have to look up the history of gearbest to see if they have a track record of selling fakes. I have no idea as I dont buy from gearbest because of the slow shipping - not because of fake.

          The only other thing I can say is that a lot of the generic fakes are using this romoss type housing with the good fakes printing the romoss label and the bad ones just saying "power bank" on it.

          Oh also - having the need for a 20000mah one is interesting as I would think it would be smarter to have 2x of the smaller 10500 ones - that way you can use one charge one or charge both up and bring both of them if you are away from power for a while and i assume it would be a family situation so having 2 physical banks is more convienient than 1 big one?

      • AngryAlfred on 07/08/2015 - 14:21

        I couldn't find it on there either which worried me, but I found this:

        https://www.sendo.vn/shop/hong-phuc-mini-shop/san-pham/pin-d…

        The device itself or manual doesn't specifically say "Plus" but you can see the LCD screen which the non-plus doesn't have. Printed capacity on the device and manual is 20000mah. I think this device is legit.

        • cheapoguy on 07/08/2015 - 14:27

          I have no doubt the item being sold by GearBest is authentic. I'm just wondering why GearBest (and Sendo) is advertising it as 20000mAh, when Romoss labels it as 16000mAh.

          As you said, the manual and device actually mentions 20000mAh, so maybe the info on Romoss' website is outdated?

        • AngryAlfred on 07/08/2015 - 14:36
          +1

          @cheapoguy:

          The Romoss website makes no mention of a "Sense" only "Solo" power banks and it shows the Solo 6 Plus as 16,000 mah. I just feel like they are a different series that hasn't been put on their website yet. It's not really unusual to find products missing from manufacturer websites. Sendo is showing non-stock photos and it looks pretty legit from them. Mind you a further inspection shows they have the same dimensions which maybe shouldn't be the case.

          I'll ponder on this one a bit more.

      iPhone 6 Plus battery is 2915mAh so theoretically 6.86106346483705 times.
      In reality I'd say somewhere +/- 5 times.
      I have a Samsung S6 with a 16000mAh power bank, I'd say upwards of 4+
      To answer your question 4-6 but probably around 5

      if you dont have a problem waiting and want something cheap

      buy this:

      plus this
      http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HOT-5V-USB-Power-Bank-Case-18650-…

      gets you roughly the same thing and for less than $6.83 too.

      YES I know that ebay battery is fake - Im assuming the reported 3800mah is really just 1800mah - If you are really worried about it you can buy genuine japanese batteries but they are around $10 each.
      Dont worry I think that dse $6.83 one is not using genuine japanese batteries either,

      • AngryAlfred on 08/08/2015 - 22:46

        I tested those batteries myself. Got 25% on a 2000mah phone ie. 500mah. It was the first time a Chinese seller has specifically requested I don't leave feedback. I would have been happy to get 1800 but 500 was wow.

        • voter1 on 10/08/2015 - 15:42

          ok yeh 500ma really does suck - they must have recycled those from the bin.
          I have read though that some of the cheap (under $3) batteries are around the 1800mah mark though - but obviously you have to be lucky?

          oh hang on - 2000mah phone? oh so you are measuring NETT not gross?
          you know there is some loss in the transition process right - even those xiaomi powerbanks dont give you 100% effectivness.
          So I would think when you say 500mah its probably closer to 600mah - a bit better but still horrible of course :)

      • plague69 on 09/08/2015 - 14:06

        Well, alarm bells should really ring when you see they also sell 6000mAh single cells lol
