Really, why is that? The M2 airs ship with a 60w charger don't they?
Works great with my windows work laptop, just curious
Depends on the variant. Pros charge at 100W;, Airs at less than that.
But also 65W is hardly trickle charging. It should easily keep you going on an MBP unless you are doing very intensive tasks.
A Pro was probably what i was thinking of, I had a 60W charger that didn't charge my mates mac Pro and assumed it was across the range quite stupidly. thanks for clarification
@TexasVujicic: Also depend on if it's old Intel or mac silicon, the latter will do a lot more with 60w
It might not reach the maximum/‘fast’ charging speed they’re capable of (particularly some of the newer/larger MacBook Pros), but 60W is certainly enough to give any mac a good charge over a couple hours
pls read amazon guiding rules. I assume you are not affiliates with ARISOYAU ?
Uncle Aris?
Another to look at….
The Baseus 65w 30000mAh is $67.07 on eBay at the moment too with eBay plus code SEOFY22.

baseus powerbanks tend to be considerably chunkier than ankers for comparable capacity and charging speeds, if that's of consideration - but they're good powerbanks nonetheless
Another to look at….
The Baseus 65w 30000mAh
Just be mindful that 30000mAh puts it over the 100Wh limit most airlines have for carry on luggage.
It says:
Capacity
Battery Capacity: About 30000mAh/3.8V
Rated Capacity: About 18000mAh
I am not sure if it is 30,000mAh or 18000mAh when considering taking it on a plane?
If they are checking (hasn't happened to me ever), then they'll use battery capacity x volts. I think the rated capacity number is when you factor in overheads like conversion loss.
You can carry on upto 160wh. You usually just need to declare it at check-in.
Some airlines may refuse you if it is over 100.
@jv: Some airlines may refuse you if it is under 100 as well.
We've had this discussion before. If you want to pick-up this bs argument again, reply to this comment instead of starting a whole new thread.
@jv: Literally any airline. I've already responded to this comment before.
If you want to pick-up this bs argument again, reply to this comment instead of starting a whole new thread.
@jv: 1) You are actually required to declare if your <100Wh battery doesn't have an on/off button.
2) It's not required by CASA regulations to declare <100Wh, but different airlines can enforce their own rules within Australia.
3) Just like you said here, laws vary in other jurisdiction, and other jurisdictions do ban batteries <100Wh. Since you're repeating yourself AND being inconsistent, I again refer you back to this thread:
If you want to pick-up this bs argument again, reply to this comment instead of starting a whole new thread.
4) Whether you're required to declare or not is irrelevant. The airline or CASA staff can see your battery and refuse it at their discretion. In fact, the only time I've had an issue with a battery was with a 20,000mAh battery because it had a crack in the shell from a drop.
You're just fear mongering again.
For anyone reading this who wants to bring >100Wh batteries on board for whatever reason, you are just as safe with a 101-160Wh battery in Australia as you are with a <100Wh battery, assuming the device is in good condition (no swelling, cracks, etc). If your device isn't in good condition, then you're a little less likely to get away with it with a 101-160Wh battery purely because it might looked at by staff.
Even then, most airlines don't even check 101-160Wh, such as Qantas and Jetstar who you email once a year as a formality.
That being said, you shouldn't be taking a battery on board if it's in bad condition regardless of size, and it's about as likely to get refused if a swollen <100Wh battery is seen by airline or CASA staff.
but different airlines can enforce their own rules within Australia.
The can do what they like, but legally you don't need to declare them…
[Airlines] can do what they like, but legally you don't need to declare them…
Again, you may need to declare them if there's no on/off button.
II also don't care whether you need to legally declare them. We've never argued about that.
EDIT: Actually, we argued about that early on, I won decisively, and now we're arguing about semantics, because some airlines may refuse >100Wh batteries, when they can also refuse <100Wh batteries, so then you move the goal posts in a circle back to this point of "yeah, but you need to declare them tho".
You said:
Some airlines may refuse you if it is over 100.
To which, I replied:
Some airlines may refuse you if it is under 100 as well.
We both know that it's legal requirement to declare certain batteries within CASA's jurisdiction. What's being argued is that batteries <100Wh may be refused similarly to >160Wh, hence this paragraph that I wrote:
For anyone reading this who wants to bring >100Wh batteries on board for whatever reason, you are just as safe with a 101-160Wh battery in Australia as you are with a <100Wh battery, assuming the device is in good condition (no swelling, cracks, etc). If your device isn't in good condition, then you're a little less likely to get away with it with a 101-160Wh battery purely because it might looked at by staff.
There are over 5,000 airlines around the world…
EXACTLY! And they all have their own policies, and all have to meet various regulations of various jurisdictions. As I've pointed out before, some don't allow any batteries at all.
I'm also again noting that you're jumping back and forth between national and international arbitrarily as it suits you.
When I point out that domestic airlines overwhelmingly accept 101-160Wh batteries, you say "depends on the country".
Then back to arguing about what's required to be declared under CASA regulations, with you saying "Some airlines may refuse you if it is over 100" in Australia.
When I point out "Even then, most airlines don't even check 101-160Wh, such as Qantas and Jetstar" you jump back to international again with "There are over 5,000 airlines around the world".
You're shocking at arguing with all these fallacies, hence you're refusing to go back to the last argument you abandoned.
Yes, Battery Capacity: 30000mAh/3.8V => 111Wh (11% increase approved by RBA ;)
But u can’t bring 30000 on plane :(
Yes, you can. You usually just need to declare it at check-in.
But u can’t bring 30000 on plane
You usually can if it is declared, but not always..
There is always the risk they could refuse you…
Always declare though, or you could be charged with trying to bring undeclared dangerous goods onto a plane and a jail sentence is possible.
There is always the risk they could refuse you if it is under 100 as well…
You're correct, "Lithium Ion batteries must be declared during check-in".
Had this for about a year, quite happy with the purchase. Works with notebooks that can be powered with 60W USB PD. I’ve used this many times to extend the battery life of both my work and personal notebooks (HP and Lenovo), quite handy to use on the go.
No longer available
Promotion has ended :(
$80 + 20% discount now so approx. $64
where?
Completely different battery pack, it won't do 60W (not clear what it does, but Anker charge more for even the 18W version). It's only made for phones.
look at this 2-in-1 power bank and hand warmer with a 10000mAh capacity, perfect for winter.

Is this safe? I wonder if heated power bank goes hand in hand
I am not quite sure, but Tesla operates in hot conditions too.
What would everyone recommend for iPhone 12 mini MagSafe charger besides apple own MagSafe powerpack
MagSafe 11.1W powerpack is overpriced & wireless charging depletes battery lifespan. My Galaxy Note 10+ with 25W super fast PPS charger 30' 30-80% has so far 84% health in almost 4 years of intensive use. iPhone batt hardly lasts 2y. I use Accubattery to control 20-80% range & settings for max 85% charge :)
Use cable most of the time & limit to ~80%
Thank you that’s good insight. I did figure using a charger connected 100 percent of the time must kill the battery lifespan
Any 100W for laptops?
Kinda different use-cases, afaik Apple Laptop products can't charge on 60W (or it trickle charges)
