    Clearly not approved for use in Australia - unless the photos are not representative of the actual product. Just for starters, the mains plug lacks the plastic upper parts of the pins that prevent a partly inserted plug from exposing live pins. The mains outlet on top of the unit is probably also illegal here (as universal outlets can only be present on travel adaptors). The 'safety certificate' shown on the listing has no relevance for Australia. There's no evidence on the photos of the compulsory Australian RCM (Registered Compliance Mark) - the symbol that attests to a manufacturer's claims of compliance with local standards. And there's no mention anywhere of compliance with EMC standards (quite possible the device will radiate lots of electrical noise).

    Buy and use at your own risk.

      They are not illegal to use, they are just illegal for local businesses to sell. Otherwise tourists and business visitors would have to buy chargers on entry to Australia.

      Buy and use at your own risk.

      Yup, as with all imports it's buyer beware. I have much more confidence in bigger brands like this compared to really cheap generic chargers from overseas though.

      • When a non-licenced/tested product burns down your house/office, you're in for a rude lesson on the difference between "what's a criminal offence" versus "what absolutely makes you civilly liable". If someone dies in that situation, you're up for another lesson in criminal negligence.

        • Sure, you can always play the "what if" card. It's easy to make up any scenario to challenge anything.

          Pre-COVID, every single hotel in the country would have a huge number of unapproved chargers, some plugged in to poor quality travel converters. How many hotel fires caused by chargers have there been in the past 10 years?

          There's probably a higher chance of killing someone by propelling two tons of steel at 100km/h while also carrying 50L of highly-flammable liquid behind you. Yet we all do it every single day. It's because we've decided that the actual risk is low enough that we're comfortable with it.

          I absolutely stay away from cheap generic chargers that come free with cheap stuff. Baseus typically make reasonable midrange chargers. I don't think it's less safe than an $8 charger from Kmart.

          OP also mentioned uninsulated pins. It's absolutely true that this plug does not have insulated pins, and that insulated pins are safer. But to put that in perspective, every single plug in the most technologically-advanced country in the world, the USA, also does not have insulated pins. Their sockets don't have switches so you can't even switch it off while plugging or unplugging. I'm personally comfortable with using plugs without insulated pins, but I also understand that not everyone will be.

          • @eug: Nothing about that precludes how incredibly factually incorrect your statement was. They are absolutely illegal to use.

            • @[Deactivated]:

              They are absolutely illegal to use.

              OK, for the benefit of us all, please quote the relevant legislation.

              • @eug: There's no legislation that specifically mentions that if I put a speargun through your left ventricle, it's murder.

                There's no legislation that specifically says if you die because your car went into a dam after I cut it's brake line, it's a crime.

                There's no legislation that specifically, in black and white, states that if I leave a manhole cover open in my driveway and you fall into it, I'm civilly liable.

                Cease your mindless sealioning and learn the difference between "book smart" and "street smart".

                All electrical equipment imported, and sold in, Australia must be proven to be electrically safe. All electrical products, regardless of use, must comply with AS/NZS 3820 which is the general electrical safety standard.

                You import something not certified and someone gets hurt, don't be surprised if you're charged with criminal negligence.

                • @[Deactivated]: OK, so are you now saying it is actually not absolutely illegal to use as you strongly asserted earlier.

                  If you don't crash into someone and kill them, driving is not "illegal". We all accept that risk every single day.

                  If you use a Baseus charger and it doesn't catch fire, burn the house down, and kill someone, it is not "illegal". Just like driving, it is up to the individual to accept the risk.

                  • @eug: It absolutely is explicitly illegal in some states (WA, for instance), and criminally negligent in every other one.

                    It is federally illegal to import a non-approved device, period. If you purchase one online, you are committing that offence.

                    I'm moving on now, enjoy your day.

                    • @[Deactivated]:

                      It absolutely is explicitly illegal in some states (WA, for instance)

                      This announcement from the Government of Western Australia talks about people buying electrical goods online.

                      The WA Government advises people who buy electrical goods online that they sometimes come with a travel adaptor that could be dangerous.

                      The WA Government then advises people to purchase a locally-sold travel adaptor or to change the foreign plug to an Australian one before they use the electrical goods they purchased overseas.

                      So not only does the WA Government not say it is illegal to use imported electrical devices, they even give advice on how to use them safely.

                      “I encourage everyone to watch out when buying electrical goods online or while overseas as unapproved devices do not meet the essential safety requirements of Australian standards,” Mr Bowron said.

                      “Most likely they will not be fitted with suitable plugs for Australia. The sellers may sometimes include a travel adaptor to overcome this problem. Buyers should be wary of these adaptors. They can be deadly!

                      “People receiving [travel] adaptors supplied with electrical goods purchased overseas or online should be suspicious about their electrical safety. They should have them checked by an electrician before use. Better still, they should buy an Australian based adapter or ask an electrician to replace the foreign plug with an Australian one.”

                      This document from Energy Safe Victoria says to buy at your own risk:

                      If the supplier cannot supply the compliance documents, buy at your own risk. The equipment may not be compliant with Australian safety requirements.

                      This page from the Electrical Safety Office, QLD states that "It can be dangerous to buy electrical appliances on the internet from overseas sellers as they might not comply with Australian safety standards or have information about how to use them safely.". Not illegal, but dangerous.

                      It is federally illegal to import a non-approved device, period.

                      Once again, for the benefit of us non-resellers, please quote the relevant legislation. It would be a great help for future reference as you may be right. All I've found so far relates to importing as a business for the purpose of reselling - that is certainly illegal.

                      If I went overseas on holiday and bought a laptop, is it illegal for me to bring the charger back?
                      If a tourist visits from overseas and brings their phone charger along, are they commiting a federal offense?

                      I'm moving on now, enjoy your day.

                      Have a good week! I'm not expecting a reply from you, the above is more for the benefit of others. But if you could quote the relevant legislation (or even a prior case where an individual has been charged with a federal offense after using an overseas charger) to back up your assertion, that would be helpful to us all.

        Me? Nope. I work for a company that imports electronics products (nothing that competes with these - so I have no dog in this hunt apart from safety), and I know how much cost and effort we go to in order to comply with local electrical safety and EMC requirements. It gets up my nose when people just ignore the requirements and put unaware users at risk.

      • These are lacking basic safety features that every single plug sold in Australia has.

    • The plug is a Chinese plug type so agree.

    • Thank you for the informed comment! This is useful info in making a decision to buy or not to buy!

  • +1

    The photos look like CAD renderings, I have my doubts they are actual photos of the device. The “top entry” of the power AC lead into the plug is a classic Chinese power standard connection.

  • 2500 Watts? 240v x 10Amps =2400w, guess might be not a certified product for normal home use with single phase. I could be wrong!

    • +3

      The standard in Australia (AS60038) is 230V +10%/-6% so that's actually a max allowable voltage of 253V.

    • +1

      It doesn't use 2500W. The AC port on it is rated up to 2500W, so it's better than 2400.

      • Better, well depends upon the load on the circuit, but could work for some.

      • The AC port on it is rated up to 2500W, so it's better than 2400.

        Not really. It's really rated at 10A and 250V (which, yes, multiply to 2500). So some people could get 2500W out of it in ideal conditions (250V supply and 10A resistive load), but drawing 2500W from a 230V supply would exceed the nameplate ratings.

        • +1

          True. My point was it doesn't consume 2500W itself as it looked like the OP had misunderstood that.

          • @bio: Ahh, and I misunderstood you, oops!

  • Anyone knows if it doesn't interrupt charge when a device plugged in and out?

    That's the major burger for baseus gan2 I'm using as my macbook goes into sleep mode when it runs on clamshell mode

    • +1

      can confirm first device restarts the charging process when second device is plugged it, I believe this is normal when an adoptor/charger shares their wattage amoungs all out vs other GAN adopts that has as individual wattage output

  • Any reason for me to get this charger if I'm already using the Blitzwolf S16 75W?

  • -1

    I don't need this, as I have 3 other USB Wall chargers so I only bought 1.

    Damn you ozbargain, I'm here trying to save money.

  • Received it today, can confirm does super fast charging on Samsung.
