First time poster, just got one for myself - discount kinda makes it a decent deal.
3.7v * 26.8Ah = 99.16 Whr, which is allowed for carry-on on aircraft (being under 100 Whr). Anything over 100 Whr either requires prior approval or is not allowed.
Oh wow, it just makes it into the limit, nice.
100-160Whr requires prior approval, though not all airlines will allow it.

It wasn't very clear/easy to see on the main product page…
I found this site a good explanation of the regulations + explanations on how to work it out (some marketing spread through it for their power banks): https://zendure.com/blogs/news/what-kinds-of-power-banks-are…
And the required details to work it out were in the user manual https://help.kogan.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025527254 As I couldn't find the 3.7v that FarQ posted on the main product page :)
Restrictions are for battery capacity measured in Wh. The 102W here refers to total simultaneous power output i.e. W - how much it can charge things I.e. Macbook chargers are 65-85W.
In this case they state 3.6V and 28600mAh so that is 96.48Wh and fine to carryon without approval. As FarQ calculated with 3.7V (which is the usual standard LiPO voltage), it still comes in under 100Wh at 99.16Wh.
Realistically though, airport security staff and airlines are not going to go and calculate the Wh. They would likely be told to look for Wh <= 100 written on the device or mAh 26800 <= written on the device.
So long as this thing has either of those numbers written on it it will be fine. If it didn't but did have the 102W output number on it, air line staffers may confuse this for Wh and you might have some trouble.
This size is fine , I had mine requested to be taken out of to show in China airport and they allowed it . I asked them what the limit was and they said this was pretty much the limit .
Really wanted one of these for my Macbook Pro 16, but I think I've seen enough videos of Louis Rossman fixing busted charging circuits to trust anything other than the Apple charger.
At 60W these charge fast
Really cool unit - very happy with mine.
I want one, just because it's awesome. I have the older Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD which isn't as good as this but costs more.
It's expensive, buy ROMOSS for cheaper price with bigger capacity.

18W PD vs 87W PD, that's a huge difference (and dollars difference). The ROMOSS is cheaper because obvious reason, it can't charge anything more than a smartphone. The Kogan can charge a whole lot of laptops.
Not to mention the Kogan can charge itself MUCH quicker due to much higher input. I reckon at max input it can fully recharge in 3-4 hours vs the 11 hours on ROMOSS at 18W.
Charges in about 90 mins at 60W
Is that fully charged and none of the light blinking? Damn, that's fast.
Also you can't bring that on a plane without any trouble
Delivery’s free with a Kogan First trial
For simpletons like me, could anyone say the rough number of charges this would give a phone?
You’d have to state the capacity of your phone’s battery to assess how many times anything can charge it
I have an iPhone 7 , so 1960mAh. Is it as simple as 26800/1960=13 full charges? And higher wattage means faster charge?
iPhone 7 wont accept a fast charge so whatever you get with a 12W adapter is going to be the best you’ll get with that phone.
Not sure about the details for the rest, you’d need to calculate efficiency which is best case 97% (I think), no idea the efficiency of these, it’d be somewhere between 90-97%.
@0jay: 26800mAh is not rated capacity at 5V (charging phone battery), it's advertised capacity at 3.7V (the powerbank battery). That's roughly 18,224mAh at 5V or 9.2 times the iPhone 7 battery.
For example, the Ozito 18V 4Ah (or 4,000mAh) battery for those Power X would translate to roughly 19,460mAh 3.7V power bank.
@Bigboomboom: presuming no loss for ease of calculations (lets say we live in a perfect world!), the iphone 7 has a 7.45Whr battery(3.8v x 1960mah). This being a 96.48Whr battery means that it has 12.95 times the iphone 7 battery.
I bought this the other week for $88 + Delivery, shame but oh well.
Can recommend though, extremely good product, however the unit is heavy and big asf, I reckon you could kill someone with it with enough force >.>
My understanding is something this size needs approval before you can fly with it.
Maybe someone else can confirm.
