I nearly bought one then realised my house was full of basic battery packs. Buy 2 and get free delivery. Their gear seems fine. 27whr and 18w pd (wish it was more). Charging time is potentially quite slow.

They'll still charge at 18, it's not "not enough" it's just "not as fast as they could be charging" which is fine 90% of the time, especially at a good price, and especially with smaller patteries which are fine to keep plugged in without being too bulky.
At least by charging "slower" it won't damage your mobile phone battery as quickly?
18W is fine, charging becomes less efficient the more W you pump into the cells because a bigger chunk of the wattage goes towards producing heat. As the charge increases, the less the speed you're able to charge anyway because the chemical reaction becomes increasingly difficult to reverse efficiently (you're pushing positively charged ions towards an increasingly positively charged destination and vice versa).
Samsung phones can charge at 25W, you can compare a 0-100% charge with an 18W charger vs. 25W charger, the difference is something like 1h 20 mins vs. 1h 30 mins.
Apparently it takes hours to charge too. Not sure why I posted it. Lol
Amazon frequently has these cheap portable chargers on sale at similar prices and free shipping for Prime members.
Although at least these guys are Australian based.
Not a super cheap deal but a decent quality reputable reliable brand with ok 18 W QC3 and usb C
included ( 2 X outputs ).Up untill recently, most retail powerbanks below around $50 did not have more than
18 W max charging, often did not even have usb C either (some for input or output only).
bought 2, free shipping…
bought 2 of these and arrived today. It actually says 20w pd charging. no mention of 18w.
maybe it's a newer version?
The price is pretty good, but for many phones that do fast charging 18w isn't enough - you'll want at least 25w for Samsung stuff for example
