I have no idea how good these ebay shop from china/hk/taiwan are. Open to buy from retail shop e.g. Officeworks BigW JB etc if purchase from online wasn't trustworthy, but ones from retail shop aren't have as powerful charger as I seen many online. e.g.

      Thanks. I don't have Xiaomi phone. Is this ok for others phone? my phone is Blackview P1 Pro. Banggood reliable?

      • BargainShopaholic on 04/04/2017 - 01:29

        Yes you don't need a Xiaomi phone to use a Xiaomi powerbank. You just simply connect via the normal charger cable for your phone.

        I bought my Xiaomi powerbank from Banggood 3 years ago and it's still running beautifully. Lasts about 2 days on full charge.

        You won't go wrong with a Xiaomi powerbank. Overwhelming positive reviews for it here on OzB.

    Just upgrade ur phone or change the battery, both costly compared to a power bank but carrying that thing around is not solving your problem which will get worse. been there :(

  • altomic on 04/04/2017 - 01:59

    What phone do you have?

    • shortgum on 04/04/2017 - 02:28

      Blackview P1 Pro. ideas?

        Damn, the Alife. I have/had the same phone. the battery crapped out on me. it expanded pic1 and pic2 about 12 months ago and the battery has been sitting in the shed since.. finding a replacement (at a good price)has been a drama. though this one has only recently popped up on aliexpress for US$17.15 delivered - if buying from this seller (seems to be the only seller with this battery) - then don't forget to grab the US$2 off coupon as well - so US$17.15 delivered

        I located one supplier in India but they wouldn't ship to Aus. then when I was going to India they had sold out :(

        so the phone is sitting in a drawer without a battery.

        for some reason I had bought a Lenovo note at the same time as the Blackview so I just swapped to that. The blackview is a decent phone. I should order a battery and get it firing again, and have it as a back up.

        edit- grabbed one.

        • shortgum on 28/04/2017 - 19:32

          @leehungfei: so far it seems ok. I'm running it through a few charge/discharge cycles before I make a comment.

          It looks like an original battery.

          there is no sim card in it currently and it's in aeroplane mode.

          I charged it last week and this morning the alarm went off for some reason???

          so far so good.

    If your battery is 1 to 2 years old, consider buying a new one? That said, I bought one from eBay which has stopped working after a month.. Reputable seller selling dodgy batteries perhaps?

    Xiaomi 10k is your best choice.

    Comsol Notebook Power Bank 20000mAh for $70.

    This is not bad either. Meant for laptop, ultra book but can still charge tablets and smartphones.
