Pretty awesome price for a portable powerbank - clearance item.
Not a fast delivery charger (this one is on clearance as Kmart now stock a fast delivery version of this for $49).
Stock is hit or miss - mostly low stock but my local has plenty.

Likely to be a single, prismatic lithium poly cell. Very hard to get into, and if you nick the battery in the process could have fiery results.
Still, if you can overcome that its not a bad idea. I wouldn't expect there to be much in the way of technical data for the cell though, so you'd have to determine that experimentally (maximum charge and discharge, etc)
Also note: No USB-C input (i..e you can only charge up the powerbank using micro-USB)
Yeah. It would be more useful even if the USB-C was input only. You would then only have to carry a single USB-A to USB-C cable.
Not bad. Seems similar to the Xiaomi 2C powerbank that hovers around $25 on sale, albeit with a USB-C port instead of the USB-A (kinda pointless as it doesn't support USB-PD anyway though).
got one, thanks OP - nice found
Read this as "Anker" and got excited for a second…
Anko is Kmart's own brand. It replaced the various "& Co" home brands they had before ("and co" => "an ko").
And sounding like Anker sure is a bonus lol
K-Anko are always cheap.
how many watts is this? fast charging? iPhone charge at 18watts max?
Output: USB-A+ USB-C, 5V=2.1A
10.5W max
I just got one. For $20 it looks like good value. Just note that they might not be on the shelves. I had to ask about them and then they pulled out a stash from the service counter.
Does it come with a display for battery status?
Yes
Would this be worth shucking for the batteries/ what's likely to be in it?
