    Perfect for camping. Can use them with cheap USB lights.

    • wtfnodeal on 18/12/2018 - 22:55

      Exactly the same reason I bought 2. Thanks OP.

    How much is originally?

      I think they mean you can get 1 full charge of your phone per 1 recharge of the USB charging device. My phone has a 3300mah battery so this wouldn't even fully charge it.

      Generally these have a single 18650 in them and they can be replaced with a bit of work. The charge controller is a single board unit with both USB input and output soldered to the board.

        2500mah at 3.7v
        = 1850mah at 5v
        Less ~10% efficiency losses
        Probably would charge an iPhone 7/8 to 80%; XS and most other Android phones maybe 50%

        I have one of these but use it for little USB powered devices - mini fan, LED light, arduinos

        • aussieprepper on 18/12/2018 - 23:57

          I think they would use a 3000mah cell? Also i doubt the voltage is boosted to a proper 5v more like 4.5v ish.

            @aussieprepper: Usually the mah rating refers to the capacity cell in the Powerbank ie 2500mah? Unless cygnett understate it

  • JerryB on 18/12/2018 - 23:24

    The cheap Laser and Audiosonic ones I have just sit around unused but this is still tempting because it is a respected brand for just $5.

    • dm01 on 18/12/2018 - 23:38

      I bought a few Laser ones cheap two years ago, and respected brand or not, they've worked great and get used every couple of days.

      • ozhunter68 on 18/12/2018 - 23:43

        Well said. I'm sure there are many respected ( read expensive ) powerbanks also sitting in draws sitting around lol.

          And now there are two more. Couldn't help myself.

      • pennypincher98 on 19/12/2018 - 06:27

        Laser ones are the worst. The Target and Kmart brand power banks work alright (nothing special) but Xiaomi Mi Banks are an Ozbargainer's go to :D

          Agree. But even if you bought/were given a laser ( or any other no name brand that is working ), using that even for leaving in car glove box or a day bag is better than not having any and being caught out empty handed.

          I would not recommend anyone buying a Laser over a Cynett or Xiaomi ( even Target or Kmart ), unless short of time and only cheap option in an emergency.

          • pennypincher98 on 19/12/2018 - 11:08

            @ozhunter68:

            using that even for leaving in car glove box or a day bag is better than not having any and being caught out empty handed.

            Actually no, it's worse. Lasers don't keep charge for anymore than a few days, maybe a week tops. It's when you need it, know you've got it and think it has charge it becomes worse than having nothing.

            Of course, you can charge it up every few days (with no indication that it is actually charged) but I am sure you'll miss a cycle eventually.

              @pennypincher98: Really, that bad. Is that just one you tried, or for all/most Laser powerbanks? If so I could not agree more, hinders rather than helping.

              Have been tempted to get the Laser wireless powerbank few years ago when on sale to try on my old Nexus 4, but even then I read that Laser was not so good, but could not imagine ANY powerbank could be this bad unless faulty or after abuse.

              Years ago I got a couple of those cheap $1-$3 ( delivered direct from China ) small powerbanks, and sure they did not hold much charge, but a few weeks at least.

              • pennypincher98 on 19/12/2018 - 13:43

                @ozhunter68: That's for both the 2200mah and 4400mah wired power banks with the 3-in-1 cable. They still charge but they overcharge and then decline rapidly.

      It will probably give you an extra 50% battery life by maintaining the battery level while playing.

      Probably - especially because Broden lives in Erina and it's in stock there :P

  • kiLbiL on 19/12/2018 - 00:09

    thanks OP bought 2 from the Coberg HN.

    These only give 1 charge but dayumn, mine has saved me in tight situations so many times. Especially when travelling - throwing this thing in your bag can be an absolute life saver.

  • Wayne44 on 19/12/2018 - 00:45

    anyone know what brand of 18650 they use, this might be a decent priced source

    Note: After my purchase store stock is now showing "Not Available". May be I ordered the last one.

  • Kranbone on 19/12/2018 - 01:51

    Sadly none around me locally. Good deal if you can get it, which is surprising for HN.

  • SomeRandom on 19/12/2018 - 02:21

    Thanks for the tip OP!

    Ordered 2

  • pennypincher98 on 19/12/2018 - 06:28

    Central Coast and Newcastle still seems to be in stock- Erina, Newcastle, Maitland, Lake Haven

    Can't find any in Sydney though (only looked around North, Inner West and CBD)

    • ozhunter68 on 19/12/2018 - 11:11

      Be quick as apparently "Broden" lurks/works/lives around Erina lol.

    • JerryB on 31/12/2018 - 00:09

      You're at the airport or train station. You need to call someone to come and pick you up but realise you're down to 3%. It's small enough to carry in a purse or a jacket pocket, whereas your 20000 mAh one probably isn't.

  • lastq on 20/12/2018 - 17:37

    Anyone actually managed to pick theirs up? Called my store and they said its been backordered and will have to wait till the new year's for more stock..?

    • io on 21/12/2018 - 12:53

      Walked in to the Launceston store this arvo and grabbed two. Marked as $19.00 but scanned as $5. If they're trying to clear them out then they might have more luck if they actually put the right price on them.

      • ozhunter68 on 31/12/2018 - 10:42

        So true. Sounds like the politics between their online store and bricks and mortar store.

        Apparently Gerry outsources a different company/business for their online side, but obviously have to work closely together. That would explain their sometimes aggressive online pricing and non advertised Hardley Normal in store pricing.

      • JerryB on 01/01/2019 - 23:38

        The online price is up to $12 now.
