    great power bank, use it to charge my laptop when there's no power outlets near me.

  • +2

    this powerbank is crazy fast to dump into your devices so you don't have to have it connected for long periods

  • +3

    This is the QB826G and not QB826. QB826G is better than QB826. Op please update the post

      I copy pastad previous deals, guess i copied wrong one. Thanks!

      what’s the difference?

        G is the international version.

    Fantastic power bank and I believe may still be the best on the market at this size. Great feature of this power bank is it actually supports fast charging going in. Only minor downside is the constantly blinking battery level percentage LED's when in use.

      Tape over it

    These self discharge scarily quickly in my experience. Very handy to work on the go but needs to be topped up prior to periods of use.

    • +1

      Does the display reflect the self discharge? I keep mine in my work bag and maybe use it only once a month, but I've never noticed it drop the displayed number, I always keep it charged to around 70% after I use it.

  • own 2 of them. Fantastic power bank.

  • Anyone know if these can charge a Lenovo Legion 7 laptop?

    • -2

      If your laptop has USB-C power delivery, it can

    • +2

      No, this cannot power the legion 7. l7 requires a solid 140w input power supply in both usb c or Lenovo plug. Unless you run on power saving mode and disable GPU.

      I own several Lenovo laptops including L7 and Yoga 9i, I can get by with emergency juice on my 9i if I disable GPU and turn on power saving mode. This reduces the power input to below 110w and can be powered by these large power banks with a TB4 cable.

      • Thank you so much @s1kr. I didn’t know this.

      • Would it not charge slowly when not playing games and just browsing?

      • would it not charge at 100w when laptop is turned off?

        When turned on, will it give an error and reject the low input charging or will is just notify that its weak and still charge albeit slower than the drain (this is the behaviour I've encountered on all the laptops I've worked with.)

  • So tell me if I've got this right.

    Say you want to use it in UPS mode so its sitting there charged up ready to take over if the power fails.

    If you use the C1 port as the input to keep it charged, the 45W output limit on the C2 port means you can't run anything bigger than that off it. And if you do it the other way round with the C2 port as the input and the C1 port as the output the 45W input limit on the C2 port again means you can't run anything bigger than that or the batteries will go flat.

    I'm sure its great as a power bank, but as a power bank running in UPS mode its design appears to have serious shortcomings.

    • does this have the right circuity for a proper UPS? most don't.
      EDIT: Right there in OP post…. interesting!

    • I’d like to know the use case for it as a UPS. Typically USB related devices have some sort of battery… not aware of any USB related equipment that is downtime sensitive?

      • There is plenty. For me it acts as a UPS for my Rock Pi SBC doing video encoding in a production setting. Also keeps a Rode Caster Pro going in the event of an outage.

    • 100w output from the included USB A to USB C cable.

      • +1

        The 100W restarts to 65W if either Type C ports are used and seems to stay at 65W until the button is pressed to restart the port (provided no Type C is plugged in). So in terms of UPS functionality, as long as the Type C is plugged in first, you can have 100W in/out and 65W out/in instead of 45W.

        • I see, haven't played with the aspect. Thanks for explaining that.
          Personally I'd need a really good justification to utilise that functionality over a long term at such wattages.

          I believe the cells are all in parallel, so the input voltage undergoes a large voltage step-down conversion from 20v to charge them @3.7v.

          I could be wrong, but the output is then boosted back to 20v from 3.7v, no passthrough as the gapless UPS will constantly run off the battery. I expect it'd create a lot of heat and wear on the device.

          It's been helpful to run my laptop with a broken battery without power loss, worked perfectly while switching around chargers.

    Finally I reckon I’ve been waiting for over a year. Got one for $118 with gift cards 😃

    • Which ones?

    • +1

      Well done. Took me over a year before I finally got one on sale too last year.

  • I can say the same about Anker 737

    • +3

      Yes, but many would dispute that.

      Chiefly, since no one would have any idea what it is that you’re saying about the Anker…

      • +1

        I had both of them and kept Anker, can be taken on the plane, can charge Lenovo P1 and I use it to power my streaming device WiiM, lasts all day long, has better display as well

        • +1

          The ZMI No.20 can be taken on the plane, it's only 2.5 Wh higher than the Anker. Both are below 100 Wh.

    • +1

      The Anker 737 doesn't have "UPS" functionality, its output ports restart when an input is plugged in. It also has a max combined output of 140W.

      If you don't need the UPS functionality, flat design or max combined output of 210W, then yea, Anker 737 is better because the display is nicer, it's possible to do 140W out for Macbook etc. and I'd say it's easier to hold.

  • +2

    It’s a great power bank but for something that was released for >3 years ago I was expecting the price to come down more

    • +2

      They're still in very high demand, which is probably what's keeping the price up. I own two of them and think that they're fantastic.

  • ASUS Rog Ally Z1E can run 30w turbo profile using the zmi provided usb-a to usb-c cable ;)

  • Amazing power bank but have discovered a couple of issues with it not charging up, once in Tasmania and just this week in Bali, both times with the same official Samsung wall charger that I normally use at home

  • +3

    I have one (G version) and so many other 100W+ ones. This is still the best I've owned and I'd definitely buy another if mine stops working.

  • These are good but I think the Inui are better value now.

    • Inferior cells (won't have the same longevity)

    • I bought Iniu 20K but it die in two weeks.

  • Possibly dumb question, but does anyone know if there’s a way to set the usb ports into dumb mode so they can charge low-draw, dumb usb devices (like rechargeable desk lamp for example)?

    When I plug them in nothing happens

    • +2

      Try double tapping the button.

    • +2

      Double tapping the button will allow it to charge low-draw devices; the will draw a circle while it's in this mode.

      If you plug in a Type C device and the power bank doesn't "turn on", that means the Type C device doesn't pull down the CC pin to let the power bank know it's connected. For these devices, you need to use a Type A to Type C cable or connect something like a USB power meter with a toggle-able CC pin in-between.

  • The new released Anker Zolo 25K with 2 usb c cable is better choice

    This powerbank performs great but is quite outdated nowdays for example no detailed information display. For those interested, ZMI merged with CUKTECH in 2022 (part of Xiaomi) and they upgraded this model to the CUKTEK 20. There's even a picture of the old ZMI in the advertising pictures. Review of the CUKTECH 20.

    • +1

      Oh wow, it's like the best parts of the ZMI No.20 and Anker 737 combined (except maybe the USB ports could be spaced out more). Too bad it's only available from AliExpress, can't find it elsewhere, it's not shipping from Amazon US to AU.

  • I'm not seeing a -$30 coupon from Mostly Melbourne… am I too late?

    • Yes expired…

  • Anyone recommend a power bank with approx 65w output? This a bit excessive for me.

  • I think I saw this at $129 on amazon a year ago.
