    What a rip off!! Only 1A would take 9-11h to charge just 10000mAh! Buyer BEWARE Harvey Norman have had bad reputation for lying to customers about consumer rights.

    Xiaomi 10000mAh QC3.0 $30,
    Xiaomi 20000mAh QC2.0 $31, or
    [Aukey 30000mAh QC3.0] $50 is what I would offer(http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/182199164287?_trksid=p2060353.m14…) with combined dual input of 4.8A are much better buys!

      If these are 1A output, many phones will actually lose charge while using it if you are doing something intensive like pokemon go.

    • ryang on 13/07/2016 - 15:22

      The 5200mAh says 2.1A on the back… That's the only details I can see.

      Where are you getting 1A from?

        I'm amazed people would buy such a small capacity such as 5200mAh that I didn't bother checking, only the 10000mAh

        • WantToPayLess on 13/07/2016 - 19:02

          Your link is to a slightly different model. If you search for the model number on HN's site (98010), you will find that the output is 2.1A max, just like the 5200mAh one.

    • uccoffee on 13/07/2016 - 15:39

      I thought xiaomi only support high voltage out, but not really QC3, I still dont get how they work~

        QC 2.0 supports "high voltage out".

        The QC chips send some "negotiation signals" out and if they gets a reply, then the charger and the portable device have a bit of a chat. They say like….

        Oi - I have 5V here
        - Bahhh, that's old skool, got any 9V?
        Yeah baby, 9V for the win!
        - Bet ya don't have 12V.
        Bet I do - ner nerr!
        - OK, bro - gimme 12V and 4 Amps
        Errrr, no.
        - Why not?
        I only have 12V 1.5A
        - Pox! OK, got the good gear on 9V?
        Yeah, 9V at 2.5A
        - Hmmm… 9V 22.5W vs 12V 18W…
        - Give me that 9v goodness, baby!
        Going in dry, here it comes, ready or not.

      Did you get the "[Aukey 30000mAh QC3.0]" for $50? The link you have is showing it for $67?

    10,000mAh
    ~AU$21.50

  • Lukian on 13/07/2016 - 15:19

    These aren't good prices if they are only 1A output.

      Chargers these days are at least 2A

      • llama on 13/07/2016 - 16:39

        SOME chargers these days are at least 2A

        Some chargers aren't. Who cares… it's a powerbank.

        I don't grasp the obsession with charging speed, like people are inconvenienced and bored while they sit and watch the battery change.

        My powerbanks get plugged in to charge and forgotten. I come back sometime later, and find that the lights have switched off… so I unplug them and put them back in the pouch. And they go back into the drawer with their friends.

        Gosh - it's not as if I only own one powerbank, so it's dead-set mission-critical that it is 100% charged between the time I get home from school and 5.45pm when mummy drives me down to the skate park.

        If fact, I am struggling to imagine a world where the speed of a Powerbank charging would matter to me. In the slightest! It's like fussing about the read speed to copy all the photos off your camera card… as if that is somehow preventing you from taking more photos until it's completed.

        • lovepeoplenotmoney on 13/07/2016 - 16:43

          Speed is important because if the power bank doesn't charge by the time you finish work, or by the time you wake up; there will be systematic decrease to a limit where the user doesn't take advantage of the power bank capacity, and has shorter usage time. Even a slow speed like 1A won't be able to charge the phone…

        • llama on 13/07/2016 - 16:52

          @lovepeoplenotmoney:

          Speed is important because if the power bank doesn't charge by the time you finish work, or by the time you wake up…

          Hardly a critical issue. Just buy another one - that way you can charge one while you use the other.

          Now, that's INNOVATION!

          As I said, I cannot imagine a world where the speed of a Powerbank charging would matter to me. In the slightest.

          Not sure why you bring that up.

          It's totally irrelevant to this deal and discussion. In fact, it doesn't even EXIST.

        • lovepeoplenotmoney on 13/07/2016 - 18:40

          @llama: the speed is demonstrated relevant. In the near future, power banks will be redunant

        • WantToPayLess on 13/07/2016 - 19:20

          @llama:

          I think @lovepeoplenotmoney was talking about the rated output current, not the input/charging current to the power bank. The output would be relevant as that determines how quickly your phone/tablet/etc gets charged by the battery pack or can be used while being charged.

          However he wasn't that careful when researching the product parameter that he thought critical. The 10000mAh model actually has a stated output of 2.1A max, not the 1A he thought.

        • llama on 13/07/2016 - 20:02

          @WantToPayLess:

          I think @lovepeoplenotmoney was talking about the rated output current

          No - if you look at the thread, you will see that the reply is directly to this:

          Comments are demonstrated irrelevant. In the near future, phones will be redundant once we are all embedded with communication chips.

      It's scary when people post comments like that. Not only for the misinformation it spreads, but also because it's generally not worth the time and effort to try and re-teach the person who stated it.

        You can cook your battery because the battery redox state goes through expansion-contraction cycles during charge-discharge cycles. Power curve management and optimisation is needed to decrease the effects and prolong battery life.

          ROFL. No, it doesn't. It doesn't charge and discharge "in cycles" simultaneously. It EITHER charges or it doesn't charge.

          Power curve management and optimisation is needed to decrease the effects and prolong battery life.

          If you charge with something that can deliver 1A and your phone is consuming 0.8A, then that gets drawn from the charger and the remaining 0.2A of charge current that's available will be used to slowly recharge the battery.

          There are only 2 wires to the battery… it cannot charge AND discharge at the same time. All that stuff is sorted out by the charge controller connected to the USB port. If there is power available to charge the battery, then it charges. If a small amount of current is needed from the battery to supplement what comes from the USB port, then the battery discharges.

          Think about it.

          Consider a laptop - that almost always gets used while it's being charged.

          You don't even need a battery in the phone (or laptop) to run it. They power up just fine from the charger power… that's what they draw from first. The internal battery is only used if necessary.

    Hardly a bargain, considering that there have been cheaper options on OzBargain recently.
