$10 coupon available at checkout. Not a bad usb c fast charging power bank for 30 bucks. RRP says 59.99
CamelCamelCamel.
Can you share the link please as there are a couple of different models.
Of course - this here: https://iniushop.com/en-au/products/new-iniu-carry-p50-e1-po…
It is truly fantastic! Super small and has 2x USB-C and 1x USB-A. Comes with a cable\lanyard which isn't pre-fitted which is a big win!! I would buy this over and over.
Oh and it's 45w!!
It's not the smalles 10kt pn the market thougn…And I believe there's at least one or twp more in the 16mm range
- Kogan 10kAh MagSafe: 99mm x 64.5mm x 16.3mm $30
- Kogan 5kAh MagSafe:: 102mm x 68mm x 8.3mm $21.99
@parad0x: Hi paradox, i'm sure there are smaller ones, but not matching this calibre of wattage and port configuration. The INIU one is also non magsafe such as the ones you provided, which also won't offer the same ports or wattage, which i prefer, to avoid heat transmission and battery wear down.
Thank you!
Consider $18, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/899426
Likely to charge a 5000mAh 1.2 times, allowing for 60% efficiency, real-world experience, lol
If you use it to charge a laptop that need 65W & it breaks, can you blame the power-bank, lol.
Your maths is wrong, and that is to be expected,,,,
Tell me, Ryobi's batteries - 18v & 6.0Ah…. Your angle grinder radio pulls 3A CC under full load. You expecting to be able to run your grinder nomn-stop for 2hrs?
Dyson 21.6v & 2200mAh - 15min on Boost, 22min on high.
Why? Everything we are aslomg tp dp os at a much higher voltage than nominal!
Is there as better way? YES! Not by measuring the amount of energy flowing into or out of a battery or cell (mA @ xxV for YY hours), we SHOULD be using WH which by type definition is a measure of stored energy.
A 100WH (Airline carry on capacity, wonder wju they'd use that /sarcasm) battery will provide the same level of output to you powerbank, laptop or earphones. So why don'y we use it?
Marketing,.
Any other power bank models you recommend? I'm just looking for a reliable, standard 10k mAh -> bonus if lightweight. Thanks!
Really good price for 30w bidirectional powerbank.
It advertise as '30W Bi-Directional Charging', then follows with 'up to 30W output and 20W input'.
Yea misleading as most powerbank can do bidirectional these days?
LOL i didnt see that. wow, marketing fail lol
Do you have a no output or no input, but has outputs - Single use power bank?
Otherwise, it'd Bi-Di… Defined in the USB PD standard…. So not new
Got one. Good price @ 200grams. Can be a lifesaver.
Bought one a few weeks ago for ~US$17. Haven't really used it in anger, but it seems to work fine. Built-in cable is nice, and we can be used for both charging and discharging.
Don’t use that in anger. At least not today..
Key specs:
Output USB-C Cable / USB-C Port Output: 5V⎓3A / 9V⎓3A / 10V⎓2.25A / 12V⎓2.5A / 15V⎓2A / 20V⎓1.5A (30W Max)
20V out means it is good for charging most laptops. (Proper laptops, not desktop replacement monsters.)
I though most laptops would need min. 45w (or ideally 65w+) to charge?
The quick charge technology is no longer far away. The 5min charged ev is already on the market. For future proof, I'll not buy any slow charging unless very cheap. 10W-30W will become the next abandoned usb A or apple lighting cables.
Actually, slow/trickle charging is preferred for overnight charging. Be it a device or an EV. I'm sticking with 5W for my bedside charger.
@supperman: Agreed, I like my overnight chargers going slow…within reason, so long as it's charged by the time I wake up it's all good
I'm sticking with 5W for my bedside charger.
5W wall-charger is PLENTY to charge a 5000mAh battery, even from 0 - 100%, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16368352/redir
Longevity vs Convenience/Speed…what are you giving up ? https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-…
PD lets them negotiate a charge rate. 30W is better than nothing.
A small powerbank like this is just for when you are running low in the afternoon. Not you main charger.
Doesn’t the 20v output make this an issue for a plane when converting to Wh??
https://www.qantas.com/au/en/travel-info/baggage/dangerous-g…
Wh = (mAh * V) / 1000
So (10000*20)/1000 =200Wh.
@boxall: The Wh is usually printed on the back/bottom of the power bank.
If I recall correctly, the INIU BI-B62 was 74Wh.
(20000mAh x 3.7V)/1000 = 74Wh
Generally anything under 27000mAh should be under the 100Wh limit of most airlines.
@RichardL: so a 30000 mAH would not be allowed on the plane?
while 27000 mAH or under would allowed?
what is the formula to find out if the powerbank is allowed on the plane or not?
@pinkybrain: Some airlines will allow it but pre-approval will be required.
The formula to figure out Wh:
V x mAh / 1000 = Wh
V is nominal voltage of the internal lithium cells (generally 3.7V), not the output voltage
mAh is the capacity of the power bank
@RichardL: what is the formula powerbank WH since most planes also specify that?
Some airlines will allow it but pre-approval will be required.
Yeah I rather just get one that will be allowed on most planes rather than getting pre-approval (which would an unnecessary hassle to ask for each plane you will travel on and you might forget to ask etc)
So would it be safest to get a 27000 mAH or less that would be allowed on most planes?
Also we can bring like 2 x 27000mAH or 2 x 20000mAH etc and that would also be allowed?
what is the formula powerbank WH since most planes also specify that?
Refer to above edited comment on how to calculate Wh. (It's usually printed on the Power Bank as well).
So would it be safest to get a 27000 mAH or less that would be allowed on most planes?
Generally 27000mAh Power Banks are 99.9Wh, which is below the 100Wh limit of most airlines.
Also we can bring like 2 x 27000mAH or 2 x 20000mAH etc and that would also be allowed?
It will differ from airlines to airlines. For example, Qantas and Virgin allows
You can find more information in this forum post
Powerbanks have been banned by many airplanes lately due to causing fire and potential high risk and hard to distinguish. Better check. Battery scooters are banned on the train in some countries.
Can you name one airline that has banned powerbanks to back this statement up?
A small number of airlines have blocked using or charging powerbanks in flight. But not taking them onboard.
@mmrazz: Here is the source that I read.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-14/singapore-airlines-ru…
Assuming more airlines will start doing the same while there were 6 listed on the article, 12 days ago.
Yes it's a ban of using but ok to pack and carry. Stable state battery shouldn't produce heat which makes sense. And the ban actually starts to take affect from next months to be correct.
they are not banned but just can't charged your phone using powerbank on the plane.
many airlines are now requiring you put it in a clear bag or put in somewhere that you can monitor the powerbank
Probably not enough output to power a plane.
Decided to try this out on a laptop, and damned if it doesn't work fine!
My laptop (Dell Latitude) was at 25% battery. Plugged it into this battery pack and about 15 minutes later it's up to 35% and the battery pack is reporting 79% full (was 100%) - and that's while I'm actively using the laptop!
Edit: Looks like I spoke too soon. Right around when I posted it seems to have stopped charging. Laptop is now down to 34% and not showing as charging. Disconnecting and reconnecting makes no difference. Plugging the battery pack into my phone and it works fine.

Anker is a reliable-brand & mostly likely longevity/safety parameter was activated…got TOO-hot?
Maybe why people are willing to pay a bit more for Anker-brand?
Max. 30W output: what wattage does your laptop need ?
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16377030/redir
20V out means it is good for charging most laptops
Caution: even with RELIABLE-brand, running it @ max. output for a long time, noticed power-bank will get hot, especially warm/hot days & maybe you're risking longevity
Good point. This would be just for occasional backup use when you run sort.
I normally use a 55Wh powerbank for laptop, (ie. 20,000 bullshit units.)
It's not the voltage that generates/causes/contributesa to the heat. It's quite the opposite…
5v @ 4A will run a DC-DC boost converter much hotter than 20v @ 1A
Why? Ohms law/Joule law
USB PD 3.0 simply increased the voltage to reach 280W. Initial plans were to limit current at 5A, but someone who's brand sounds like Dell chose to ignore that limitatiom.
ordered thanks!
Inbuilt cable are convenient until they stop working.
Then I just have to replace the cable, instead of the whole power bank.
Luckily this power bank also has an additional USB-C and A Port, so even if the cable fails you can still use the power bank.
Does anyone know if it will charge Samsung s24 ultra at 30w?
This power bank does support PPS 5.00-11.00V 2.75A so should trigger Samsung SFC 1.0 (which I believe caps out at 25W).
Build-in cable is a plus + 4 color choices is rare for most powerbank deals on here.
Unknown brand though.
Have you seen Current Affair? Kahboom!!
Jk~ Anker is a well known brand name and i had afew of their 20k and 10k, going to buy a pink one this time!
Purchased 1. Thanks
Am I wrong in always believe the negative reviews on Amazon?
I have the 20k version and absolutely love it. The built in cable is game changing
You call 30W charging fast?
Okay Elon, this is for mobile phone use not for your tesla. 🤦🏻♂️
Tesla is out. Everyone is switching over for BYD. Before covid, no one would imagine a car could be charged in 5 mins. Elons been busy with Trump creating new defence force. The core of their car has no changed for ages and their promised budget range has never come to life.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-25/byd-profits-surge-aft…
It's not worth considering Tesla even without that other shit. They don't have V2L which was proven massively helpful in power outages and for the recent flooding in QLD and northern NSW>
I don't have a Tesla. I do have a OnePlus phone that does wireless charging at 50W, wired charging at 100W.
Congratulations
Era changed. Lighting cable now becomes turtle cable.
Ordered it but rethinking my purchase, I think the built in cable would be annoying to EDC.
Got one, thanks OP!
Thanks OP, got one. Only Black available now!
I've got a similar looking older Anker 10000mAh 37Wh powerbank but travelling now I'm not using it as it's too fat to fit in my jeans pocket while attached to/recharging my iPhone via short 24cm cable - so I'm using slimmer HIDISC same spec that is 15mm thick so together with my 12mm iPhone in case, it's total 27mm which fits happily together in my jeans pocket either front side or back
The Anker here is listed as 25mm thick, and adding it to my 12mm iPhone would make total 37mm thick—a wad I just don't want to wear waddling down the street.
I also got a new same-spec HIDISC from DAISO Japan, for I forget maybe 1100Y or A$12 the other day so that suits me for now
but hey, if this new one kicks up to 20V and 30W to fast charge a phone and even a laptop, and if you can get it delivered for $20, then why not.
Just bought thanks OP
Just received it today. Plug in to charge and it display E5. Support say E5 indicate problem with charging. So I returned it. My first Anker product experience.
thanks Op bought 1. Now I need a new phone with usb-c
worth noting that it's not able to output to both USBC+ USBA simultaneously
This is a great price! I have to say though, the new Iniu carry 10k charger has to be one of the best at the moment on the market! Would highly recommend as the ultimate 10k for price point and features
