Saw this deal on Kogan.com on Wednesday and bought this pink one, as it was the only colour available or this price. Already have one of this from big W for $27 on sale quite a while ago and using it. They charge quite fast(similar to wall chargers) although it doesn't support quick charge. Has two ports- one amp and two amp. One amp charges my E7(max 2900mah, battery may have deteriorated after using my phone for two years) in 2h 30min and 2 amp in 1h 30min.
And brave entering the powerbank debate as first post!
Thanks for posting.But the Xiaomi Powerbank 2 when on a sale is same price and way way better than this. No point in buying these ancient tech powerbanks.
I bought this with during the free delivery period, thought it'd be a good deal.
but thanks though
this is what most people buy http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/XiaomiMi-Power-Bank-2-10000mAh-Qu…
don't know much about powerbanks so won't comment, nevertheless thanks for the first post.
Although Laser its an Australian company, which seems more reliable than Xiaomi, which is a Chinese company(personal opinion)
@dsw460p:
The products are from China, generic powerbank rebadged. Some bad reports on OzBargain about their other powerbanks.
See
Straight up don't buy these. They don't work, we get heaps returned. Cheap laser crap - BigW staff member
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/310841 or search laser powerbank on OzBargain.
The exterior of the product may look ok (pink?), but it's the charging circuit & quality of batteries that matter. Reports of circuit board running hot (shortens life) on other Laser models.
I bought Xiaomi Powerbank 2 from this deal
Currently $28.85 local stock, delivered - sent next business day. Very happy with service. Even better when I got $10 ebay discount off $30 by adding a cheap cover for it from another site.
@Infidel:
What eBay discount code did you use? Also, please post the link to the cheap cover that you mention above.
@DoctorCalculon:
Targeted expired $10 off $30 deal.
No idea of cover. Hasn't arrived yet. Just Google it.
Delivery from Kogan shows as $9, bringing cost to $33.36. That's not a bargain. Laser is the low quality generic brand sold cheap by BigW, HN, etc.
And no quick charge at a dearer price than the Xiaomi models with it!
Assume is plastic case against sturdy metal of Xiaomi.
Can sometimes pick up the 20000mAh Xiaomi Powerbank for that price.
Last week Kogan had the Xiaomi Powerbank 2 Silver 10,000mAh $29 Shipped which was ok, now $48 delivered!
What do you guys think of this ? The capacity seems a little bit flaky, I saw one at ALDI not long ago for $49 which has much less mAh. Anything similar would works
Kogan on Ebay still selling Xiaomi Power Bank 2 Black for $30.02 with free delivery.

Cheaper than $48 delivered on Kogan.
Still slightly more expensive than this site that delivered very quickly. Bought 11pm Thursday, delivered early Monday. (I'd rather not deal with Kogan.)
Never had a good experience with a Laser product, and for a similar or better price, I don't understand why one wouldn't buy a fantastic Xiaomi power bank, which I and many other Ozbargainer's have had positive experiences with.
Welcome to OzBargain! thanks for posting
