    I want to know how they're shipping it to you. The airlines won't accept anything over 20Ah in a single battery.

    • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 10/06/2019 - 22:13
      +6

      That hasn't been true for years as power banks can be sent through Auspost easily if compliant and it so happens Amazon AU are. Last deal had ~1000 send out without issue. Besides why don't we hear about it in the dozens of other power bank deals?

      The situation regarding travel with airlines through airports has also been covered. The actual limit without permission is ~26,800mAh and not 20,000mAh as you say :)

      • Nukkels on 11/06/2019 - 09:15

        "If compliant" - Most power bank deals are for 20Ah or less and so aren't affected.

        https://www.master-instruments.com.au/files/product_warranty…

        To make sure that your item is safe to send you must:
        • Check that the amount of lithium in the battery is not more than the permitted amount. This is 100 Watt-Hour/lithium ion batteries.

        At 5V that's a limit of 20Ah.

        • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 11/06/2019 - 09:34

          The 100Wh restriction applies to lithium ion batteries while the power bank in this deal is lithium polymer which is a lot safer. Amazon and Auspost have allowed these to be sent with no difficulty as they loosened the restrictions around November 2016-17.

          At 5V yes, but power banks are not rated at that voltage. Usually 3.6 or 3.7v.

          • turbodude on 11/06/2019 - 10:05

            @Clear: I would be very interested to see evidence that LiPo is safer than LiIon. I would have thought it was the other way around. LiPo can generally supply way more instantaneous current than LiIon. I am not saying you are wrong (haven't researched it myself).

            • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 11/06/2019 - 10:11

              @turbodude: Worth doing some research then 😉

            • dansblackcat on 11/06/2019 - 16:56

              @turbodude: I'd be interested too. I use Li-Po batteries in my RC cars. They get charged in a special sealed bag in-case they decide to explode.

    • lostn on 11/06/2019 - 19:15

      A lot fewer goods are shipped by air than by boat believe it or not. Boats just carry a lot more cargo than planes do. But if it's already here, it's shipped by road to your door.

    • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 10/06/2019 - 22:22

      Unfortunately for the Surface Pro it seems you need a minimum of 45W (15V/3A) to charge.

  • MitchyD1989 on 10/06/2019 - 22:18

    Samsung AFC (S9/10 are not compatible)

    I've seen this stated before but never thought to ask, does this mean the S9/10 won't fast charge at all? Even if it doesn't fast charge via Samsung AFC, the phones also support fast charge via USB-PD and QC 2.0 which this power bank does, so would have thought that shouldn't be an issue.

    • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 10/06/2019 - 22:21
      +2

      Samsung changed their implementation of AFC (QC 2.0) in S9 and S10 which unfortunately is not compatible with the chip being used in the power bank. As for USB-PD that's a good question that I'll need to confirm with Romoss. Unfortunately I don't have a Samsung :/

      • DaWarriorWithin on 10/06/2019 - 22:42

        Interesting…my S9+ intermittently charges when using Romoss 20kmAh powerbank and also the RavPower 26.8kmAh. I have to press the powerbank button to restart the charging and then it stops after about a minute. But when I use Xiaomi's 10kmAh 2C powerbank it fast charges as normal. Could the chip be the reason why this is happening? I am using the BlitzWolf BW-TC14 3A cable

        • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 10/06/2019 - 22:44
          +1

          That definitely sounds like the chip. There are dozens and dozens of different chips out there that do QC, USB-PD etc, but when manufacturers decide to change how they've implemented the charging standards some chips unfortunately become incompatible.

          Future Romoss power banks won't have this issue thankfully.

    Thanks

    • AdamFury on 11/06/2019 - 00:30

      You can use a USB to USB C cable and use your current powerbank with no issue. It just won't charge it at its maximum rate. If you get a powerbank with 18W power delivery (off the top of my head) that should charge it at max.

      • Bigboomboom on 11/06/2019 - 12:22

        Which doesn't matter as much because the Pixel PD fast charging only matters in the first 30% of the battery. After that it throttle charging down to protect the battery. Any 5V 2.4A USB is more than enough for Pixels. Just don't use 5V 1A one.

        Regardless, I still have 18W PD power banks, wall charger and car chargers for my Pixel 2 because reasons.

      I covered that in the post and the answer is yes with permission. If it was over 160Wh then that would be a no and has to be sent via freight.

        • ATangk on 11/06/2019 - 00:32

          It’s usually a form you have to fill out at the special help desk or whatever and then show the security checkpoint the completed form. It’s just a little bit but enough to have me not be willing to get a >100Wh battery bank.

      • lostn on 11/06/2019 - 19:22

        How difficult is it typically to get that permission?

        • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 11/06/2019 - 19:23

          Been covered by people here in the deal already. Apparently very easy and someone has approval for the whole year now.

    • R3b3l66 on 11/06/2019 - 05:49
      +4

      In my recent experience with 4 different airlines (domestic and O/S) they have been easy to deal with in terms of the approval process for these devices if they are < 160. You send an email to a specific address (can be found on their websites) and within 24 hours they get back to you -> except for weekends.

      Whilst I had the approval email on my phone to show the security dudes i also printed off a copy of the approval email to show them. In addition to that i used my dymo to put the watt hour calculation on the back of my chargers - they were all 158Wh. watt-hours = milliamp-hours × volts / 1000. For example, if you have a 300mAh battery rated at 5V, the power is 300mAh * 5V / 1000 = 1.5Wh.

      My only advice is to allow a few minutes at the security check point in case the person is a newbie and they need to call a supervisor. Seriously no more than 2 or 3 mins.

      Generally with lithium batteries you don't want them to reach 0%, however these will hold their charge for a long time as I use my 30000mAh for exactly that.

  • voteoften on 11/06/2019 - 01:16

      I am normally pretty organised and have these approvals sorted well in advance. Last time i forgot and I shot off a request the morning of our flight. I found Qantas to be super helpful and they got back to me within hours. Very impressed.

      The international airlines took a little longer but i assume that this was due to time zones.

      Just to cover myself i actually list each of my flight details for that airline in the one email. They basically respond with "Approved" and so it covers all of them.

    Hello OP. Please let me know when this deal pops up again. The Romoss OM10 looks cute. I would like to have that one. Pity this model is not available here in AUS (https://www.amazon.com/ROMOSS-20000mAh-Portable-Compatible-N…). This one looks awesome.
