Had some poweroutage in our place and wanted to keep my laptop up and running Cygnett 20000Mah power bank could not do the job , so decieded to go to JB Hi-fi and found this one on special, the guy who was selling was really surprised looking at the price $71 as it was down from $179.95 . Helped me run through the day. No complaints so far except it a bit heavy .

      Airlines measure battery capacity using watt hours. To get Wh rating: multiply the voltage (V) by the milli-amp hours (Ah), then divide this by 1000 to find your Wh.

      • How do you find out the voltage of power banks? All I usually see is max wattage and varying voltage:watt ratios per port

        • +3

          You use the base voltage of the underlying cell- which pretty much for all of them being lithium is 3.7V

          3.7V * 45,000mAH = 166Wh.

          Such a weird choice for this power bank as if they just made it a bit smaller (43000 instead of 45000) then it would be ok for air travel with approval. Approval these days is just a declaration at check-in so quite manageable.

          • @NuclearWessels: i believe you need to get approval prior to flying, well thats what i did last time as it may be confiscated at the security line

            • @Inthemix: It depends on the airline - so you need to do some reading beforehand. Virigin for example is just declare at check-in. Each may have different rules

    Can I take an airplane on this?

    • +1

      Sure

    • +1

      Plug it into your aircraft to extend range

  • If I break this open and divide the batteries into two, can I take this on a plane?

    • I think you would be just under the limit yes

    • why go through the hassle and risk being denied rather than just buying a smaller power bank

      • What about if I split it into 4? Cheaper than buying and bringing 4 small ones on a plane

  • +2

    If I charged this up at work - how long before I make the money back?

    • +4

      At 30 cents kWh you'd need to charge it 1278 times to reclaim your cost

      • +3

        Need to factor in charging efficiency losses

        • Minus those, you could knock 10-15% off that figure

  • 1kg nice

    Not good for international travel but this would be good for camping/local trips.

    • That's what I'm thinking. If we consider this for camping, what other "camping" type batteries would this compete with?

    • How good are these types of battery at holding charge eg fully charging it but not using it until 4-6 months later?

      • I have a few other brands and much smaller capacity I charged 6+ months ago and they're still on 95%

    • or even domestic travel on planes.

      If you camp often, you'd get a lot more bang for your buck buying a 12V lithium battery from Kings.

  • is this right??
    One Ozito 4ah battery $69 - https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-4-0ah-lithium-ion-…

    AI: A 4 Ah battery is equivalent to 4000 mAh.
    So this would be like bringing 11x ozito 4.0Ah batteries with you on a camping trip?

    • +3

      This is 3.7 volts that's 18

    • +3

      No you need to factor the voltage. Ozito batteries are 18v
      Wh is the way to compare

    • +1

      V x Ah = Wh

      3.7 V x 45 Ah = 166 Wh in the Cygnett

      18 V x 4 Ah = 72 Wh in the Ozito

      As you mentioned, when using mAh, one simply needs to divide by 1,000.

      V x mAh / 1000 = Wh

      So this would be like bringing 11x ozito 4.0Ah batteries with you on a camping trip?

      166 / 72 = 2.3

      No, it would be like bringing 2.3 Ozito 4 Ah batteries, if we're purely discussing energy storage. You wouldn't be able to output 18V from the Cygnett to power your drill, though.

      • How do I explain the charging time (for the powerbank itself)? So this has 166Wh and the powerbank is charging at 65W max. That means I should expect to fully charge it from 0 to 100% in 2.6 hours. But actual testing showed that I can only get 40% (from 60% to 100%) in 2 hours. What am I missing here?

        • Charging isn't linear so I don't have a one-size-fits-all formula for you, unfortunately. It depends on heat, your battery's BMS, etc.

          If you're concerned that your charger isn't outputting the true wattage, you can get something like this:

          https://amzn.asia/d/hzTOAxU

          It's a worthwhile investment if you buy a lot of electronics online.

        • 2.6 hours is assuming perfect efficiency, which doesn't happen. Charging a battery also becomes more difficult as the percentage increases - the analogy is finding a park in a shopping centre - when it's empty it's very easy.. as it fills up it gets progressively harder.

  • Thicccc

  • Imagine the battery fire this could set off, might start rivalling a Tesla

  • Thanks OP, I’ve been looking for something with decent capacity and this fits the bill nicely. Ordered.
