Looks like there is a recall on this power bank sold on Amazon. Was listed as a deal previously.

Seems to be only for Amazon USA ones, but I'd still be cautious with those sold in Australia as they'll most likely be manufactured from the same factory?

    The recall, or not using dark mode?

  The best bargains are the ones that burn your house down.

  How many cheap power banks have been recalled in recent years for doing the exact same crap? Lithium batteries are dangerous and no-name manufacturers WILL cut corners either by using low quality cells or skimping on protection circuitry. Paying more for a name brand may be a better investment than you think.

    My assumption would be that they have not been forced to recall this in other countries. Should come from the same factory, so would be surprise that those sold in Australia does not have similar concern. If I had one of these, I would dispose of them regardless. Not worth the risk.
