Seems to be using 4 LG 21700 battery cells, which would make it pretty nice since those go for like $15 each, bought one myself to do a check and tear down

Whats the typical use case for these with thst kind of output? As a 100w laptop charger, this may work for 30 minutes. Many phones top out at 45w which is what many other smaller, lighter chargers can do anyway.
Charging multiple phones maybe
What’s so luxurious about this? 🤔
Runs on premium electricity
Bought one to test and validate.
I have never seen these, but I do know that LG 21700 cells are commonly advertised in some higher end power banks off aliexpress. Usually they are indeed such cells but their rating is slightly out of spec but it's never been an issue nor enough to make it a bad product/deal. I imagine they are units that didn't quite make the cut and/or were barely qc fails for higher end use, or refurbished barely used cells.
Can't comment about this in particular as I dont have it, take that info as you will from having opened up hundreds of banks.
This will be my 370th power bank to test.
Do you run a review site?

Total AU$68.28Thank you for the post. I just wanted to kindly remind guys that the brand ZIME is using the same name (grab registration) as ZMI in Chinese (紫米). ZMI is a top-quality power bank manufacturer in Xiaomi's supply chain, whereas ZIME is produced by a low-quality OEM factory. Although ZMI has been acquired by XIAOMI, their core team has established a new brand called CUKTECH. If you are looking for a so-called "Luxury Power Bank," please avoid choosing the brand ZIME.
I was very very very curious if that's what they were trying to do.
It felt quite egregious and scummy to name after a well established and commonly known brand.
Xiaomi achieved great success with the release of their initial power bank, which was designed by ZMI. ZMI is responsible for researching and developing all power banks, batteries, and related accessories for Xiaomi. When ZMI attempted to enter the market with its own brand, they discovered that someone else had already registered the trademark. Despite filing a lawsuit, they were unsuccessful. For a considerable period, ZMI has been synonymous with excellence in the power bank industry. Numerous consumers mistakenly bought products from the ZIMI brand due to its imitation of ZMI's product line and subsequent strong sales.
100W max on a [single port] for those looking for 130W
Would have totally bought this if I hadn't already bought the Baseus Blade a few weeks ago, looks like a great find!
