      Another nice feature I discovered on mine was that if you press the button again while charging/discharging the power bank, it will cycling between telling you the output voltage, output current and remaining percentage.

    I bought the 30000mAh version after Clear posted it earlier this year. I also messaged Clear to discuss a few things. I can vouch for Clear's willingness to communicate and I can vouch for the actual product too. I'm very tempted to buy this 26800mAh one for the discounted price but I'll wait for my old Xiaomi 10K to die.

    • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 19/08/2019 - 20:03

      They sure do but the implementation is slightly different and doesn't seem to be compatible with the IC chip used in these power banks. A lot of people have reported issues with them not fast charging.

          I have an S9+ and I can also confirm that fast charging works - I've tried a few different cables, including both USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C and they all work.

          • ozhunter68 on 19/08/2019 - 22:52

            @p1 ama: The last answered question on the Amazon listing for the Romoss SW20 Pro states;

            "I use fast charge cables for my galaxy 8+ and my 10+ and works perfectly"

            What model power bank were you using for your S9+?

              @ozhunter68: I'm using the Romoss SW20 Pro 20000mAh. As with Clear, I'm suspecting the Qualcomm vs. Exynos as well, primarily because Qualcomm SoC's have a proprietary quick charge protocol. I'm not sure what Samsung has actually implemented, but I'm hoping that all these issues die out soon as everything becomes USB-PD.

              • ozhunter68 on 19/08/2019 - 23:39

                @p1 ama: I also have and really like the SW20 Pro and would like my next phone to possibly be a SGS9+,

                so better get the most out of it and get the model with the Qualcomm then lol.

                • p1 ama on 20/08/2019 - 00:14

                  @ozhunter68:

                  so better get the most out of it and get the model with the Qualcomm then lol.

                  You mean the model with the Exynos? I wouldn't recommend getting the model that's not the Aussie one, it probably won't support all of the bands we use here. I've heard that the Qualcomm performs better than the Exynos in graphics though, but I game on my PC, not my phone so it's not something I've ever noticed.

                +2

                @p1 ama: Samsung are a mix bag of different fast charging technologies currently that really doesn't help anyone and gets confusing very quickly. Especially when Samsung in different regions say different things.

                Adaptive Fast Charge is the most common technology and it's based around Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 (5V/9V/12V) but not quite as fast as it only goes up to 5V/2A and 9V/1.67A.

                With the Note 10/10+ they've decided to follow the USB-PD standard with the Note 10 doing up to 25W and the Note 10+ doing up to 45W. The downside of this? They've decided to use the little known Programmable Power Supply standard of USB-PD. Basically PPS tries to reduce power loss and heat by slowly increasing the voltage and decreasing the amperage as the battery nears 100%.

                The other issue with their USB-PD is that you'll need a charger capable of PPS, USB-PD 3.0, reach 45W (15V/3A) and an e-marked USB-C cable. Otherwise you'll be restricted to 15W fast charging like AFC currently is.

                So far there are very few PPS capable chargers out there in the wild and very few USB-C cable brands advertise their e-mark status.

                (Disclaimer: I might be wrong about some of this too)

                • p1 ama on 20/08/2019 - 01:30

                  @Clear: Thanks for the info, I actually didn't know they used a slightly weird implementation of PD in the Note 10. I really thought we'd just have everything using PD and we'd finally be rid of this quick charge confusion, but looks like we're still in it.

                  • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 20/08/2019 - 01:33

                    @p1 ama: In the perfect world but they still find a way to stuff it. Starting with Android 9.0, USB-PD is the defacto standard for fast charging in Android so we should see more in other devices. Especially since Qualcomm made QC4+ backwards compatible.

          • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 19/08/2019 - 22:53
            +4

            @p1 ama: Interesting thanks. I suspect reviewers may have been in countries where Samsung use Qualcomm SoCs (QC4+) instead of Australia where Exynos SoCs (Samsung AFC) are used. That could be the reason why!

            Either way Romoss will look into that to see.

    Even though the new 26.8k powerbank has a third more power, it's 40% more expensive and weighs over 60% more at 640g vs 399g.

    Much to the predictable disgust of Captain Kirk and Scotty, I let my Ozbargain instincts override any desire for "more power"…

          +1

          Just to troubleshoot further you're using a USB-C to USB-C cable that is branded? e.g. an original Sony cable. Does the Sony say it's fast charging? And what does the display on the power bank say in volts and amps?

          Reason I ask is because it seems the Sony XZ3 has failed USB-PD compliance tests and there could be an incompatibility.

          • ozhunter68 on 19/08/2019 - 21:42

            @Clear: Interesting article. When I was reading down to:

            "Sony phones are unique in that they request 7V PDO when going from 5V PDO to 9V PDO."

            Thought that might have something to do with it as this power bank does not put out 7V.

      It's measured in Wh and easily to calculate.

        Where do you get the 3.7 from?

        I was thinking that if it’s a 100Wh limit then that should equate to 20000mAh at 5V.

        • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 20/08/2019 - 10:28

          Power bank capacity is rated at 3.7V.

    • raistlin on 19/08/2019 - 21:46

      26800mAh is the max for flights, which is why you find a lot of batteries with that capacity.

      • UncleRico on 19/08/2019 - 21:51

        Why not 27,000 mAh?

        • raistlin on 19/08/2019 - 21:57
          +2

          I'm guessing it's because of the capacity of the 18650 batteries they generally use. Technically I guess 27000mAh would be right at the edge of what's allowable.

          I don't know if it's for every country in the world, but I know at least in Australia, New Zealand and the USA, that's the rules. You actually can technically legally carry a larger battery up to 160Wh usually, but you need approval from the airline. Also, batteries generally need to be in carry on rather than checked baggage.

            +1

            @raistlin: Approval for 160Wh is quite easy especially with domestic airlines. Qantas/Jetstar have you fill out a form that can be valid up to a year and Virgin ask that you simply declare it at check in.

  • Mistymoo on 19/08/2019 - 21:41

    Do these both work with the Switch to charge it as you are playing? Do these work with a standard laptop as well?

    • Wilburre on 19/08/2019 - 22:11

      switch will trickle charge on 5V/1.5A, tv mode is supported at 15V/2.6A. ideally you want something that can output 15V via usbc-pd. 18w is the max output on this through usbc-pb - i doubt it will charge a laptop.

    • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 19/08/2019 - 22:29

      There is this speed chart for the Nintendo Switch to use as a reference since Nintendo didn't follow the USB-PD standard properly. This power bank will be Good up to 12W.
