PICKUP10

Greetings everyone, TGG have just put all of their Cygnett chargers on sale, and combining with the current 10% off sale for picking up in store, brings it to it's equal cheapest price ever again. This is approximately $100 or more elsewhere, and has been since the last sale from what I can tell.

Plenty of stock available nationwide for C&C.

Description:

The Cygnett ChargeUp Pro 20k is the most advanced power bank we have ever developed, featuring Power Delivery (PD) technology. With a 63W total output, and a 45W USB-C port, the ChargeUp Pro can now support charging the latest USB-C laptops, smartphones, tablets and gaming devices. Including Qualcomm (QC 3.0) technology allowing up to 75% faster charging than a standard 5W USB output. The 20,000mAh capacity gives you the ability to charge your smartphone up to 10 times, a tablet 2 times, or a laptop up to one full charge.

With the restrictions placed on importing Powerbanks from overseas, this seems like an excellent deal for everyone looking for a reliable powerbank with power delivery and a large capacity. The added advantage is that this comes with local warranty which is awesome :)

This is within the flight regulations for batteries.

The powerbank is on sale for $83.30, so if you can't C&C, you can still use P5OFF to save 5%, or order via their website.

As always, enjoy!

Big thanks to Price Hipster by Jazoom for the find.

    Good price! Grabbed one

    • Xinjiang on 21/12/2018 - 11:13

      Is this a lot better than the Xiaomi ZMI apart from 65w output? This is bit Bulkier than zmi, isn’t it?

      • Mostly Melbourne on 21/12/2018 - 11:19
        +2

        I think they are on par with each other, performance and reputation wise.

        Main differences from a user perspective:

        • The ZMI QB820/QB815 one uses Li-Ion 18650 cells whereas this one uses LiPo which makes the Cygnett slimmer but longer (Weight: 450 grams, Size: 171mm (W) x 102mm (H) x 15mm (D)) vs ZMI QB820 (405g, 160 x 81 x 21mm).
        • Case material: Metal vs Plastic
        • ZMI's additional Hub functionality
        • Cygnett can output 63W max using both ports at the same time from the specs?
        • Xinjiang on 21/12/2018 - 11:21

          Guess will stick to my ZMI then, seems a better choice for my pocket :)

      Higher output power to support laptops, less capacity, slimmer size

      • forumninja on 21/12/2018 - 09:32

        Here's the specs:
        Cygnett: https://www.cygnett.com/products/20-000mah-usb-c-power-bank-…
        Weight: 450 grams
        Size: 171mm (W) x 102mm (H) x 15mm (D)

        RAVpower: https://www.ravpower.com/p/ravpower-xtreme-26800mah-pd-power…
        Weight: 16.1OZ (456g)
        Size: 6.83.20.9 Inches (173mm81mm22mm)

        The RAVpower is thicker, but weight wise is around the same.

        • wtfnodeal on 21/12/2018 - 10:50

          Thanks. I will just wait for the RAVpower to go back down to $72 again then.
          My concern is it might not hold charge as long as the Cynett but if it is holds charge just as well I will get it over Cynett.

          • Trojan on 21/12/2018 - 11:10

            @wtfnodeal: Ravpower has higher capacity. Cygnett has higher PD output (45w vs 30w).
            Other than that, there is not much difference between them so really depends on whether you need to power a laptop or multiple ipads/phones/switches.
            Personally I have the Ravpower from the last deal but would choose the Cygnett if they were both the same price.

        • forumninja on 22/12/2018 - 15:06

          Here's a comparison on the sizes:

    • TheRealCJ on 21/12/2018 - 14:08

      Ravpower is decent if you're just charging phones or iPads, or lower-power laptops (Like the Macbook)

      However, for more powerful laptops it won't charge it, my Lenovo Yoga 920 for example requires 40w minimum to charge. The Cygnett provides that. So if you're looking for something that will charge most ultrabooks with USB PD, go the Cygnett.

        It will charge off an A port also. It's been tested by youtubers. The A port can deliver more charge than it is consuming while playing, therefore you should not run out of power while playing if charging. And therefore, C is not necessary if your fear is that the charger can't keep up with the power consumption of the Switch.

          Can charge the switch but not power the dock through USB-A though, right?

            +2

            @cwongtech: Oh sorry, you're probably right about the dock. It needs a lot more power than the A port can provide.

            I actually forgot that people play through the dock! To me it's a portable system that can connect to a TV like a wired Chromecast.

            I've only ever played it in portable mode and have never considered the TV.

            I guess you can say my reasoning for not thinking about the dock is, I didn't expect anyone to run it off a power bank. If you're hooked up to a TV, you're probably at home anyway, and can just use the supplied AC adapter.

            • cwongtech on 22/12/2018 - 01:20

              @lostn: It's true, you would normally have a power outlet next to the TV.
              However in an environment where all the wiring is hidden, this is not the case :p
              HDMI is usually still exposed because most TVs will have it on the side.

              This is where portable power for the dock comes into handy ;)

              • lostn on 22/12/2018 - 02:03

                @cwongtech: Set it up once so the dock is permanently connected, and then just insert the Switch when needed?

                If you want more game time it will be more convenient this way.

                • cwongtech on 22/12/2018 - 13:25

                  @lostn: Shared office environment. The wall socket seems to be hidden somewhere behind in the fake ceiling panels.

    Fantastic power bank - I use it almost exclusively for my Switch when out and about. Handy that the other port is QC3.0 (though its annoying that you need to press the button to start charging whereas the Type-C port automatically starts charging).

    Good deal, however I don't know if TGG eBay should even be allowed to have deals posted on OzB with a 96.8% Positive feedback

    I'm sure a small business wouldn't be allowed with a track record like that and this is a larger sample size… just my take on it!

    EDIT - just checked posting guidelines and I thought sellers had to have a 98% positive feedback score (can't find it so I guess I was wrong) ;)

    • eagerfisherman on 21/12/2018 - 11:23

      Why would 98% be some golden number? 96.8% over 200,000+ transactions is excellent by any measure. That rule would be very silly.

      • urbancartel on 21/12/2018 - 11:49

        Ask eBay - basically TGG aren't a top rated seller by their own metrics - I also think 96.8 is pretty ordinary but each to their own

        Becoming a Top Rated Seller
        Becoming a Top Rated Seller indicates that you consistently deliver outstanding customer service, and also makes you eligible to receive a prominent eBay Premium Service badge on qualifying listings.

        To become a Top Rated Seller you'll need to:

        Have an eBay account that's been active for at least 90 days
        Have at least 100 transactions and AU $1,000 in sales during the last 12 months
        Have a Feedback score of 100 or more, with at least 98% positive Feedback over the past 12 months
        Comply with eBay's selling practices policy
        Meet the requirements for transaction defect rate, cases closed without seller resolution and late shipment rate. You'll find the requirements in the table below

        • eagerfisherman on 23/12/2018 - 09:01

          Yeah I've met it as a personal seller, it means very little and favours smaller volume of sales.

          I don't think eBay have any concern with TGG, they are regular partners and feature on the front page constantly. Sort of meaningless to say they're not "Top Rated" when they receive that much direct promotion.

    This one did not work with my Dell XPS 9370, which uses a 45W input but accepts a min 27W for charging. I had to return it yo TGG (bought it on previous 20% sale for $130 something)

    But the KOGAN which was recently on OZBargain does work. (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/425013) I received it a couple of days ago. I am using it now. I shall do a full charge to my laptop and see how many times it can actually charge it. But yes the KOGAN does work with Dell 9370.

    According to the specs, it comes with a USB-c to USB-a cable. That means you need an extra USB-c to USB-c cable for any PD charging. :-(

    • lostn on 21/12/2018 - 13:37

      Should have one included with your device?

      • TheRealCJ on 21/12/2018 - 14:11

        Not all devices come with a C-to-C Cable. Lenovo for instance provide a powerbrick that has a fixed USB-C cable.

        • bozbargain on 21/12/2018 - 14:47

          Also, this is supposed to be used in addition to a charger (ie when you’re not in a position to use a wall charger). For a charger at this price, I’d think an extra cable would have made sense.

    I bought tbis exact powerbank from tgg ebay 3 month ago, paid for postage, they cancelled my order, told me they are out of stock from my local preston store. FXXK, i know it is out of stock from my local shop, because i can not C&c from it, that is why i paid the postage, they do have stock at other stores but at a higher price because the special price is only for a short time. Their ebay store really sucks, so be warned that you may not receive yours even you paid for it.

    On the other hand, I also bought the ravpower from amazon market place for under $50, the seller honored the price error, receiived the power bank in 2 days. Took it overseas with me now, works great with my switch and 2 phones, it come with 1 usbc-usbc cable and 2 micro usb cable, the cables are sturdy and strong. So highly recommend to buy the ravpower bank when they are on special. BTw, the ravpower is 26800 mah and 99.6wah, the highest you can bring with you on flight.

    Remember three month ago, the cygnett seems to be the only powerbank support PD charging which sold locally, but now, there are better and cheap options availlable, such as the kogan 26800 before.

              On the other hand, Dr Lui seems to be knowledgeable and based in Sydney.

                @Mostly Melbourne: Thank you. I am familiar with Chongdiantou.com and thought since it is a Chinese website they are not very relevant to AU market.

                We tested our power banks use same methods and also teared down them to evaluate build quality etc. But our own report may not seems reputable to ozbargainers :)

                I will try to reach Dr Lui and see if he is interested to test a free sample. If he want to charge for testing then that will be a bit more difficult.

                Also a shout out to other independent reviewers. If you are interested in testing our Kogan brand power banks, you can send reach to us and mention you would like to write a review/video reviews for a particular model and some briefing of your background(like Dr Lui), ask the customer service to send your request to relevant category managers and we may can provide free sample to some selected reviewers.

      But also weighs 33% more at 600g.

        26800 power bank will need to use extra battery cells compare to 20000, so 33 percent more weight is unfortunately hard to avoid, plus we use aluminum body, which cost more and weight slightly more.

          Thanks. I iust couldn't reply for 5 posts limitation.
          Because of an eBay error I didn't buy on eBay but I paid without any issue on TGG website. No 10% off but still good deal.

    This is a great power bank to keep in the car. It charges my Google pixel multiple times and fast !! Recommend!

      Should you just use the usb charging port in the car to charge your phone? Also is it safe to leave a powerbank in the car, especially on those hot summer day?

        I have a portable car starter for that purpose. It's something like 50,000 mah but charges USB also. Though it doesn't have PD obviously.
