Samsung wireless battery pack 10,000mAh on the Samsung Education store is 40% off from $99 to $59.40. I haven't really seen these around before so I am not sure if it is a good deal, would like to hear your thoughts on usefulness of this. Seems okay, as Ravpower wireless battery pack is $76 on Amazon AU.

Features:
-Fast charge compatible
-Can charge two devices at once (wireless and via cord - comes with USB C)
-Can charge any WPC Qi compatible device including smartwatches, Galaxy Buds etc.

    Same on EPP. I got mine today seems okay, nice grippy soft plastic to hold the phone in place whilst charging.

    Power banks with Qi seem like a dumb idea to me. You're lugging it around, so presumably you expect the need to charge, but you don't want to carry a tiny cable?
    Then once you do charge your phone, you can barely use it or even move it around without fear of breaking the connection.
    Then while you are stuck in one spot waiting for it to wirelessly charge, you're charging slower AND at a low lower efficiency than you would be with a cable.

    • b2dz on 24/06/2019 - 22:07

      I do wonder what the efficiency loss is here… surely it would be significant.

      I've got one (not the Samsung one), it works well when travelling. Also, can charge my family member's different phones without having to carry separate USBC, Lighting, MicroUSB cables. Everything has a use case :)

        At that point you're banking on everyone's phone having Qi charging though aren't you?

        • b2dz on 25/06/2019 - 16:36

          Yes. And I wouldn't imagine there to be too many Micro USB devices that support Qi charging.

            @b2dz: You could probably count them on your hands and feet.

    • WhiskeyBurn on 24/06/2019 - 23:22

      Very good point, was just about to buy one but yes, that is exactly what will happen

    • bchliu on 24/06/2019 - 23:32

      Some devices (mainly smartwatches and Wireless Buds) charge through Qi too so there's probably some use of it this way. You might want to use the USB port to HDMI out as an example but want to charge at the same time.

        Does my rechargeable toothbrush as well which is a huge bonus on long trips.

    • Smigit on 24/06/2019 - 23:56

      I was wondering about the use but think there would be some good use cases, particularly while travelling. Presumably you won't be using the Qi when the device is in your pocket but it could be a nice to have when your at a hotel and want to charge devices on a bedside table such as a phone or smart watch. This allows you to do that from the battery while its plugged into power and itself charging, and during the day it can double as a backup battery pack without you needing to pack both a battery pack and a seperate phone/watch charger.

      I think Qi on the go has less utility but if you have a smart watch thats running dry then you might be able to use this over a lunch break to get enough battery in to last the rest of the day or at least until you hit somewhere more permanent.

      Maybe the Qi means one or two less cables to carry if you have a mix of lightening, micro usb, USB-C devices that happen to have Qi as an option also.

    • JerryB on 25/06/2019 - 23:41

      Doesn't your argument apply to any Qi charger? If it's plugged into a wall by a cable then you can plug the cable into the phone instead. Same argument with not being able to use the phone without the likelihood of breaking the connection.

      • coxymla on 26/06/2019 - 10:21

        Qi on your bedside cabinet or desk makes some sense since you are quite likely to leave your phone there still for longer periods of time, and you're using main electricity not battery.

        • JerryB on 26/06/2019 - 20:39

          If it's sitting there still then you can just plug it in.

  • Hahnski on 24/06/2019 - 22:25

    Great find.

    I like that you can use wired or wireless charging with this unit (allowing 2 devices to charge at the same time; one wired, the other wireless).

  • bingsta on 24/06/2019 - 23:01

    Anyone know if this works through a case okay?

    • Robc on 25/06/2019 - 01:49

      I've found that depends upon the case your using. On my s8 my thick case wont charge with either a 5w or 10w charger, note 9 with Samsung official leather case will. Ymmv.

    • tehkrohnz on 25/06/2019 - 06:39

      My s7 in an ottobox cant wireless charge on these powerbanks, my partners iphone x through a slim plastic case can charge though. So depends on the case

  • theQuinn on 24/06/2019 - 23:08

    I see they also have the 128gb S10+ for $1199.20 delivered - is this the best price going on AU stock currently for those of us who don't work for a company partnered with Samsung?

    I still have access to my old uni student email, which seems to have given me access to this store which is nice.

  • pizzaguy on 25/06/2019 - 15:38

    Has anyone tried charging Apple Watch with that?

    • Tacooo on 25/06/2019 - 16:38

      It will work.

    • coco1458 on 26/06/2019 - 18:31

      It'll only work through the USB cable, the Apple Watch isn't Qi compatible

      • pizzaguy on 27/06/2019 - 12:38

        Thanks. I meant wirelessly, ofcourse : )

  • JerryB on 26/06/2019 - 00:19

    How does this compare with the Kogan 10000mAh Qi Wireless Power Bank with QC 3.0 & PD that's $29? No Shipster anymore but there's the option of a Kogan First trial (or $7.99 shipping to my post code). I'm a bit annoyed that I spent $39 back in November. It's barely had any use so I can't say much about it other than it holds a charge well.

    • matt-ozb on 26/06/2019 - 07:50

      It has Micro USB .. whilst I know it also has USB-C, I'm not buying any device with Micro USB.

  • matt-ozb on 26/06/2019 - 07:48

    I was about to buy this last night … But no Power Delivery.

  • russianMeerkat on 28/06/2019 - 07:45

    this or the Xiaomi ZMI 10 QB815 15,000mAh for $49 from Kogan Delivered?
