    Sorry but 1 Amp output is a bit of a deal killer, not enough to charge my ipad

    • Nezuji on 22/10/2012 - 17:33

      I'm in a similar boat. I've been considering this for a while:
      http://www.chinavasion.com/china/wholesale/Cheap_Mobile_Phon…

      I haven't ordered one yet, but I've ordered twice from this site before, and they've come through both times.

      • supersabroso on 22/10/2012 - 18:22

        I don't doubt that they'll come through, however whether it's truly 10,000mah or not… I'd love to know as I'll buy one straight after you.

        PS. Has anyone tested the Belkin 2000/4000mah model against their phone? How many times could you charge it and how many mah is your phone's battery?

      Isn't it?

      Ive seen people charge their ipads on a PC usb port before. 500mah standard, 1A 'boost' on most PC usb ports.

      Granted its SLOW, but it worked.

      the one thing I like about my tablet is its long battery life. You must use your tablet a LOT when you're out and about!

  • kabigon on 22/10/2012 - 16:59

    I would put 4,000 mAh in title..

    • Store RepMobiCity @ MobiCity on 22/10/2012 - 17:02

      Done, thanks.

    • JetBombat on 22/10/2012 - 20:00

      Any reason why it cannot be just 4 Ah?

      • kabigon on 22/10/2012 - 20:52

        Convention I guess… Same reason petrol is 135.9 rather than 1.359.

    FYI:

    Belkin Power pack 2000mah $13.50 or
    Belkin 4000 mah battery for $23 via Good Guys.

    Problem is that you can't order it, but it shows "in stock".

    One pgeneric alternative is the YooBao which is apparently fairly decent.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/10/2012 - 17:20

      Great work!

    • Jabba the Hutt on 22/10/2012 - 17:43

      I've noticed clearance items can remain on their site for weeks after they've sold out. Replace "buyonline" in the url with the suburb of nearby stores, or use the store finder and return to the item - it may then show as out of stock, or in stock at a higher price.

    • Moby58 on 22/10/2012 - 19:33

      It is also only a 1 amp output

  • Needles on 22/10/2012 - 17:14

    i bought a 11200amh one in HONGKONGfor 15 aussie dollars and works perfect.

      link please

    • dustint on 22/10/2012 - 18:03

      11200amh I doubt it, It is probably way overstated.

    • supersabroso on 22/10/2012 - 18:17

      True, you need to be careful with that. I doubt it was that high. Also has anyone tried buying one of those cases where you can fit 2-6 18650's in? What kind of results do you get from that? Because I assume that is the cheapest and most cost efficient way to get a high mah charger at the lowest price.

    • [Deactivated] on 23/10/2012 - 17:41

      anyone have experience with the ones with PV cells to trickle charge the pack while it waits?
      seem like a good idea and cheap to run, perfect for ozbargainers!

      • eug on 23/10/2012 - 17:44

        I've always avoided the solar ones as heat damages li-ion batts. Leaving a battery under direct sunlight doesn't seem like a great idea.

  • impoze on 22/10/2012 - 17:29

    anyone have any recommendations for nexus 7/samsung S3?

    apparently the nexus 7 is quite picky.

    thanks

    • supersabroso on 26/10/2012 - 12:01

      Nexus 7 charges like a normal tablet PC, nothing special really. 5V input, 2A input.

      The charger I have cost me $29.99 and is personally tested at 2800mah (assuming an 80% efficiency). Charges all tablets/phones as it has a 5V output with options of 1A/2.1A output. I would recommend that you go and buy a charger case/adapter that you can put multiple 18650's in. Should be the most cost efficient way, however I haven't tested this personally yet.

      Take note that not many people have given back their tests on any products they have bought. I wonder why that is????

      I recommend that you test everything you buy before advertising it here people! This is a big area of shiftiness, would help a lot if people knew what they were paying for.

      • eug on 26/10/2012 - 12:03

        What if they buy it, test it, find that it's awesome, but by that time the deal is over?

        That's where these discussions come in! :)

        • supersabroso on 26/10/2012 - 15:36

          Haha nah that's OK. It'd just be nice if we could get some because nobody posts it. However when the deal's on everyone's jumping on it like a stack of bricks. Afterwards….nothing. I just wish one of those bricks would get back to us for the next time that deal is on.

        • eug on 26/10/2012 - 16:08

          True, it'd be nice to get feedback. It does happen now though. If there's a problem, people will definitely complain the next time the item appears here. Heck people even complain about completely different items if they had a bad experience with the retailer!

          Thank you internet!

  • serideth on 22/10/2012 - 17:38

    Hmm haven't heard of Rhino's before but I just bought the Anker Astro 5600mAh
    for ~$36 delivered off ebay. Seems to get good reviews from xda

  • alwayslooking on 22/10/2012 - 17:38

    isn't this better then? it also has an LED torch :p

  • carpecrash on 22/10/2012 - 18:01

    I bought the New Trent iGeek IMP99D 9900mAh External Battery Pack a year ago. It gets huge reviews on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-IMP99D-Thunderbolt-Blackberr…) BUT i bought it from here: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/eb7b/?srp=10. It's not worth skimping on quality when buying a batter pack like this.

  • bb_hunter on 22/10/2012 - 19:35

    I bought one similar from Aldi for $20 (reduced from $30), works ok. There still one or two available from my local Aldi. http://www.tevion-cameras.com/popups/MPP_7400_au_popup_02/

    I bought this one a week ago.
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=11…
    $35.
    Claimed to be 10,000mAh, managed 5 complete charges of my iPhone 4. So that is pretty close to stated capacity!

    • supersabroso on 26/10/2012 - 15:39

      Nice! That's 8875mah assuming an 80% efficiency rate. It also does 2A output, thanks for letting us know!

      Or maybe, if it's really 10,000mah then it has a 71% efficiency rate. Interesting stuff, I should write an article about this if only I had enough test subjects…..

  • grab_ur_freebies on 23/10/2012 - 03:21

    How do these fair up? I think 500mAh output current is too low for high drain devices which req. 1A.
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Black-Mini-AA-Emergency-Portable-…

    Use 2x 2500mAh AA & you got yourself a cheap travelling 'power station'.

    • Geewhizz on 23/10/2012 - 06:59

      I just won a free ipod shuffle on the page you linked to - cool! Don't need it though so didn't bother claiming it. lol

  • MasterScythe on 23/10/2012 - 09:35

    They're calculating the mAh IMO by taking the inital mAh of the batteries, then multiplying it by the voltage drop, as if the regulator was 100% efficient, and as if thats even how it worked.

    its a good price for the device; but any one with some DIY in them; here's a hint:
    You should feel a little ripped buying a Nimh battery with a step up\down regulator chip, only.
    I have old mobile phone batteries at 6.5v i put a regulator chip on and USB port. same thing :)

    But, assembled, working, and a slightly known 'name' in the phone industry. Also I trust the seller; I'll up it.

    • eug on 23/10/2012 - 11:24

      They take into account the voltage drop? I always assumed everyone cheats a bit by stating the rating printed on the 3.7V battery, ignoring the dc-dc converter.
