Kogan 26800 mAh PowerBank, 60 Watt with PD, QuickCharge 3.0 $69 + Delivery @ Kogan

970

I haven't seen this one before, a 60W USB-C PD powerbank (Specs say 20V 3A) for $69 is quite a good deal. My email says this price is for the next 32 hours or so. For comparison the Cygnett 27000 which also does 60W PD is $140.

You can get free shipping with shipster (which all good ozbargainers should have gotten for free) - otherwise shipping to metro melb was around $9-10.

You can also stack with 10% off kogan gift cards

So you can potentially get this for around $64 shipped (10% off $50 gift card and free shipster shipping)

Quick specs:

Battery Capacity 26,800mAh
Input Type-C: PD 5V=3A, 9V=2A, 12V=2A, 15V=2A, 20V=1.5A
Output Type-C: PD 5V=3A, 9V=3A, 12V=3A, 15V=3A, 20V=3A

    PD 3.0 supposedly.

    Sounds like a good deal. I need to see some reviews on it. You never know who Kogan is rebadging.

    • +4

      Oh I miss the zmi powerbank old prices, such a great Powerbank. Not sure about these ones tho, kogan’s rebadging normally not that quality build tho.

      • I can't find any reviews for it. It must be a new product.

        • +1

          Must be.. testing the water now 😬

    • +4

      I understand your concerns. You may seen some 300,000 power banks on ebay before, we all know that is not true. But at Kogan we cannot and will not do false statements.

      This is our most advanced power bank so far. All the Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 power banks are proper certified, include other 18W power banks. They are all real capacity as well.

      Some good things to notice for this model are:

      1. this model support charge passthrough

      2. with PD 3.0 and anti reverse charge, when you charge your laptop via type c, it will always charge the laptop, not taking power from the laptop.

      3. Type C to C cable included so it can be used for fast charge out of the box

      The new range of 18W power banks have good reviews, and I am confident people will like this one.

      Also I suggest to check this out, our portable 5000mAh type c power bank , with free A to C cable included.

      https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-5000mah-super-portable-po…

      It is at lowest price ever, it may be the smallest 5000mAh type c power bank on the market. Cannot do fast charge on this size though.

      • What is the total watts it can output at a time? I know the C port is 60w, but if you have QC3.0 ports being used at the same time, will it eat into the 60w going through PD?

        this model support charge passthrough

        You have one USB C port which is shared between input and output, so how do you support passthrough?

        • +2

          We marked it as 60w total but the actual total output can reach 78w. You can get one full speed QC 3.0 a port and 60w pd, or two normal speed a ports and pd. We were conservative so marked as 60. You may seen other brand Mark as peak output 73w or 78w while actually is the same thing.

          Passthrough is type c input and USB A output.

          • @Talaria: So no passthrough PD charging then?

            • +1

              @ChadHominem: I thought passthrough usually refers to USB out, never heard of PD passthough since as you mentioned PD is for both input and output.

              Can you share me an example of a power bank has PD passthrough? I am interested to do a bit research and see if it is something we can improve.

      • Are you sure there is a cable included with the 5000mAh model as the description does not mention that. Your 10000mAh 18wPD does list it in the box.

        • +1

          It is listed at the top part of the listing. See the dot points section, type c cable included.

  • +1

    Just wondering if this is compatible with the Lenovo E485 by any chance? Cheers.

    • +2

      From what I can see E485 is 65w pd.

      Most of the time it will work, but please note if you running your laptop at full power, since this is 60W, you may experience a slight drop.

      Otherwise if it is for normal use it will be fine.

      We tested it with major brands and Lenovo models have no issues, but I forgot which models being tested. If you are not happy with it just use 14 days change of mind to return it.

      • Hi there,
        Cheers for the reply, will be purchasing one!

        • Hey, mind sharing your thoughts on it if you did end up purchasing one?

        • Hey mate how is it?

  • +1

    In the box
    Kogan 26800 mAh Powerbank (60W)

    No type-c cable?

    • There as I’ve gone one of these

    • +2

      It has a black 30cm type c to c cable included. In the box section updated, thanks

  • No idea what this is but seems decent for the price. I've only just picked up the Cygnett 27k 73w unit but this is significantly cheaper. Wonder if it's any good.

    • Cygnett is a better brand.

        • No seriously, if all you’re going to contribute is “_____ is a better brand” on an ozbargain sale thread, then it doesn’t help and it shows your distaste and nonpreference and disinterest in the actual sale item. Ergo, there actually is no purpose in you being in the thread if all your intention is to dissuade buyers from that sale item.

          • +2

            @yoke2018: Look I didn’t neg you, and I don’t disagree that “cygnett is a better brand” is not that useful as a comment (because it doesn’t really answer the OPs query).

            But cygnett was mentioned in the description, and was mentioned in the comment that was being responded to. Hence why discussion of Cygnett IS completely relevant (and not just coming into the deal to say something else is better to diss the deal*).

            melblover could very well be interested in powerbanks, including the Kogan, hence why they looked at this deal. And they are simply responding to the comparison being made to Cygnett (not only in the deal but also that specific comment).

            Ergo, your ergo is incorrect. ;)

            *In addition: Even if the sole reason to comment on a post is to dissuade people from buying it - so what? Stopping others from buying (what you consider to be) a bad deal is as valid as any other reason to comment on a deal. That is precisely what neg votes on a deal are for.

            So again, your conclusion is based on a false premise. So your ergo is incorrect, even if you are correct about melblover.

            Quod Erat Demonstrandum: Your ergo is turd, bro!

            • +1

              @caprimulgus: I respect your reply, it was thoughtful and accurate. I apologise for the inaccuracy of my statement as I did not see that Cygnet was mentioned in the description as a comparison branded device. Thanks for the clarification, lol and the latin.

              • +1

                @yoke2018: All good mate! :)

                (And I appreciate that you took my response in good faith, as was intended!)

      • +1

        Anything is a better brand than Kogan.

        • Ruslan doesn't make his own stuff. He just pays someone else to put his name on it. Same as Coles and Woolies.

          • @lostn: So you're telling me it could be a rebranded Cygnett?

            • @Julius: When he rebadges them, they maintain the previous shape and design, just new branding. This does not look like a Cygnett, so no it's not a rebranded Cygnett.

      Eventually most Powerbank will get bloated over time. I'd just get the cheapest one

      • +2

        powerbanks need to lay off them fries

    • +1

      Cygnett one is same with 60w pd but seems they only have one USB output capped at 12W, which means you cannot fast charge your devices to 15w or 18 w via USB A. Kogan one have two USB A ports at 18W each, so you can charge two phones via USB A at 18W full speed.

      Kogan one is aluminum body while Cygnett is ABS plastic, so it depends on if you prefer better heat management and solid metal feeling or a slimmer and lighter experience.

      And depends on your preference of the brand as well.

  • It’s actually pretty damn good. Charges my devices pretty quickly. Unlike cygnet rav and Anker I don’t know what the actual capacity is; whether 26k mark or much lower or what. Never used Anker or rav but only cygnet.

    • +1

      Have you tried it on a Nintendo switch? That's my only concern (switch is picky)

      • switch wants 15v 2.6a - ive not found anything that does that

        • RAVPower RP-PB058 26800mAh PD Portable Charger works well for the Nintendo Switch

        • This says it can do 3A @ 15V, so I don't see why it wouldn't work with the Switch, if the Switch only draws 2.6A at 15V

          • @Harold Halfprice: the switch may not accept it though - tests have shown it often staying in its lower power profile…

            • @Wilburre: What tests are you talking about? Link please.

              As long as it supports the 15V profile at 2.6A or more, it should work.

              • @caprimulgus: I think he's talking about feedback from forums and many comments on here with people own experience and testing using many different chargers and powerbanks, On/Off/Playing or not, Docked/Undocked etc.

                • @ozhunter68: Yeah, but do you have any examples?

                  This is the first I have heard if it (and I have read quite a bit about Switch charging), so i find this quite surprising. Not saying it's not true - but could you please provide links to back up these statements.

            • @Wilburre: But devices draw however much power they need

              This battery can output up to 3A at 15V. If the Switch is only drawing 2.6A then the battery should only output 2.6A

              • @Harold Halfprice: well that sounds promising. i would love to hear from anyone who has tested this with the switch.

    • +1

      Have you tried charging any laptops with it, and which ones?

    • Feedback/review two weeks later? Thinking of picking one up :)

  • Nice got free shipping with Shipster.

      Kogan brought out the scraps of Dick Smith fyi.

    • How do you get free shipping from shipster? I have an account with hipster. Can you help me please.

      • I think as long as you have a current Shipster Account, the delivery from Kogan should be free.

  • Anyone know if this is safe to take on planes. I think there may be a max mAh for planes now after the Samsung debacle.

    • This is 134Wh and the limit in most of the world is 100Wh. Really comes down to where you're going and how competent the security are.

      • +1

        Don't forget mah are quoted at 3.7v to inflate capacity for marketing :p

    • +2

      Manual says this is 96.5wh so it just fits under the 100wh limit for flights.

      • Yeah depends on what voltage they're measuring it at. So 3.6v would be just short of 96.5Wh.

    • +1

      These powerbanks are designed with that in mind as 26800 is right on the limit.

    • +1

      It's on the border of what's allowed.

      100Wh is the limit, which is about 27000mAh.

    • 32000 at Bali airport

  • Would this fast charge my P20 Pro? None of my current powerbanks do.

    • What other powerbanks have you tried? If PD what are the specs? Would think your using correct cable yeah.

    • +4

      This will not work with the P20 pro.

      Huawei uses their own proprietary fast charge system called Super Charge.

      The only power bank which supports this is one made by Huawei themselves, the AP09S which will set you back around $90-$100 imported from China. (Damn that is overpriced)

      • +3

        Actually, USB PD does do "fast charging" on my p20 pro (quicker than normal). Supercharge is another level above that in terms of speed. I settle for PD charging, which my aukey powerbank and my kogan wall charger do :)

        • +1

          Ah, TIL :)

          Thanks!

        • Ahhh, I see. Can I just use a "qualcomm" ported powerbank?
          I have a car charger with 1x "qualcomm" port and it does supercharge so there must be aftermarket powerbanks that do the same?

          • +1

            @Tuftsdude: Unfortunately those simply labelled with qualcomm quick charge won't work (well no faster than regular ports) . I believe there is another "Huawei Fast Charge (HCP?)" protocol that some power-banks have, which should also work.

            • @frogduck: Thanks for the info. Excuse my ignorance, how does my 4 port car charger I got for $5 supercharge my phone, but I can't get a powerbank that does the same thing? :(
              (Unless I want to spend a fortune)

              Looks like I'll stick to my Xioami

              • @Tuftsdude: Oh, they should all charge the device, but just not as fast as PD, Huawei fast charge, or Huawei supercharge.

            • @frogduck: Theoretically this should work?

              It was from the official Qualcomm website.

              • +2

                @Tuftsdude: Yep that will definitely charge, but won't take advantage of the QC charging as the p20 doesn't come with a qualcomm chip.

              • +1

                @Tuftsdude: Basically any powerbank that doesn't have PD, HFC or supercharge won't fast charge the phone, they will Max out at 2.4 (or 2?) Amp charging.

          • +2

            @Tuftsdude: I suggest wait a bit until the new generation PD3.0 PPS powerbank comes out, that will be backward compatible with QC, Samsung AFC, Huawei SCP, FCP, and USB PD

        • +1

          "frogduck" Could you please add which model Auckey power bank you successfully use to "fast charge" your Huawei P20 Pro

          as there are most likely various models ( even with usb c pd ) and that might help some people on here.

  • What's the output for type A? I couldn't zoom any of the pics to see

    • It has two USB A output, Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 certified.

      5V 3A 9V 2A 12V 1.5A

      18W each port.

  • Giving this a go. Do not disappoint me Ruslan!

    • Any feedback? Thinking of getting one

      • +1

        It is pretty good. The fast charging works great on my LG G6.

        For some weird reason if I use the USB C port to charge my phone I get some kind of notification of moisture on my phone, but USB A to my phones USB C uses the qualcomm fast charge with no issues. Not sure about this issue it might be user error or something up with my phone.

        I wish it was lighter, but I guess that is what you get with the huge capacity :)

  • You know what they say" you can fool some of the people some of the time,and generally speaking that's enough to make a profit!

  • What's a good case to put this in?

  • +3

    I have numerous large PD chargers and ive found the biggest issue if your device requires a high wattage PD charge to keep the charge (Eg. XPS 15), it will only charge for a few minutes before the voltage or current drops below level in which its not longer putting how as many watts and therefore its only useful or charging lower wattage devices until its next full charge.
    Ill admit the other two i have are 20,000, so id be interested in what the 27,000 would do, but unless it has seriously high grade cells and electronics, im not confident im going to find anything soon that would even half charge the small battery version of an XPS 15 (56Wh), forget about the 97Wh version….
    Macs seem to be a little more forgiving, might need to try my new Macbook pro 15 2018 and see what the cutoff is. I actually have one of those USB in-line digital displays so show voltage and current, wish i had the time to do a full rundown of them all for you, but my baby eats all my time these days….

    • +1

      Can you please elaborate on the xps 15 details? I am considering getting this and I am happy for the oowerbank to keep the battery level afloat or even to slow battery usage. Will it work or will it stop after a few minutes like you said?

  • +1

    Ordered for my MacBook Pro 15 2018.. let's hope it does 60w charging

    • What's your thoughts on the powerbank now? Thinking of getting one.

  • +1

    I brought one of these on Presale and it arrived last week, I can confirm that it took 9.5hrs to charge using a QC.30 charger from 20% battery.

    Something is off on these specs.

    • Hi alpha bravo, thank you for your purchase, hope you like it.

      QC 3.0 charger provide up to 18W input, if you use a PD charger this power bank can take 30w input and the time will be much shorter. If you have a laptop PD charger like the MacBook one you can try again with that one.

    Its still 69 dollars

  • +2

    Can anyone else provide feedback with this product?

    • +1

      I bought one of these yesterday, the only feedback I can give thusfar is "hope you have a USB type C to type A cable or a type C charger", as the included cable is a C > C cable. I wouldn't really be able to give much else in the way of proper feedback for a while though.

      • Updated review/feedback on the powerbank? Looking at getting one.

    • +3

      Bought it, received it 2 days ago and it charged my Xiaomi Air laptop 12.5in 2017 from nearly empty to full while in use day after I received it. I was able to charge my phone as well while charging the laptop which was an LG V20 with QC 3.0 pretty quickly without dropping the charging symbol on the laptop. I wasn't really being careful with the capacity so I managed to drain the entirety of it the same day. Also, it's able to charge the Nintendo Switch on the day that I got it after it was fully recharged as it said on the manual. That's all I gotta say and that's all I have. I have no comment on the cable that came with the power bank as I have used the one that came with my ZMI QB820 instead.

      Several edits because I can't proofread and Grammarly still needs work on sentence structures on the free model if you can't tell with the youtube adds that have been running around on there.

  • Don’t keep in the car during the day because it heats up a lot.

    It charges devices very fast.
    It takes a long time for the powerbank itself to charge but with a 30w input charger it takes a much shorter amount
