  • wondering if this would charge an iphone 6 ???

    • +1

      iPhone 6 battery size is 1810 mAh, so this brick would charge it from flat to full with ~500mAh spare.
      Also, it will only charge at a rate of 1 amp, so it'd be slower than your original Apple charger.

      • Is it really 2610mah lipoly inside?

        • 2650 according to the OP/description above.

        • Where did you read that?
          Info says 2650 & Lithium Ion.

    • +2

      The supplied cable is standard USB-A to micro-USB. It would charge an iPhone 6 if you used your own lightnight cable.

    • Depends how many Amps the output this device is. The Xiaomi on the previous deal has 2amp that should be sufficient in my POV.

      • +1

        Charges at 1A.. which is pretty much standard for this size powerbank.

        iPhone 6 would charge (slowly) on 0.5A. It comes with a 1A AC adaptor. Charges the fastest with a 2A charger.

        • Haven't owned an Iphone in a while would have thought it would be like that IPAD and refuse to charge if it was 1A ?

        • +1

          @Kaboda:

          Even iPads charges as low as 0.5A.. it says "not charging" when you turn it on, but its actually trickle charging when the screen is off (something like 4 hours to get 10% charge though)

  • I would recommend against this based on:

    1. what I've read from other comments on ozb.
    2. my experience with a Xiaomi 10400mAh powerbank I've had for the last month

    For approx double the price of this you can get the Xiaomi 10400mAh from Banggood and it has approx 4 times the charging power.

    • +2

      double the price…
      Much larger
      much heavier

      Different strokes for different folks

    • +1

      This one is great for me. I just need a little blast every now and again at the end of the day. Sure, the Xiaomi has a much greater capacity but for me it's overkill. If I'm going to carry around something everywhere, one that's smaller and 95g is a much better option than another that's 250g. Other people have different use cases.

    • Your have to compare apples eneloops with eneloops

  • -1

    I wonder why Panasonic has chosen to put "Eneloop" in the name of this device.

    Practically everyone here on OzBargain knows what Eneloop batteries are - but this device does not contain an Eneloop battery, nor have anything to do with Eneloop batteries.

    Is the naming trying to achieve "quality by association", in the same way that "guilt by association" works?

    • +1

      Panasonic owned eneloop, by using eneloop technology to build this bank

    • Why do you think it doesn't have an Eneloop battery? Just because the battery in this isn't one of the standard sizes like AA or AAA?

      • -1

        Because only NiMh batteries have ever been called "Eneloop", and this device has a Li-ion battery. Neither Panasonic nor Sanyo have ever called their Li-ion batteries "Eneloop".

        • +1

          Sorry but you're wrong. There have been Eneloop-branded Lithium-ion products since at least 2007, which is the same era as the 1st generation Eneloop NiMH batteries (2005-2010). See the KBC-L2S and KBC-L3S for example:

          http://fareastgizmos.com/other_stuff/sanyo_eneloop_mobile_bo…

        • @dazweeja:

          That's not what I said. I'm talking exclusively about the batteries in the device. The device you linked to DOES use Eneloop NiMh batteries. For the (unpictured) version with a lithium battery, there is no claim that the lithium battery is branded Eneloop.

          From the Eneloop website:
          "The chemistry that eneloop batteries use is Nickel Metal Hydride. eneloop batteries are not lithium"
          Source: http://www.eneloop.eu/eneloop-products/faqs/faqs-eneloop.htm…

          However, you may have answered my original question, "why Panasonic has chosen to put "Eneloop" in the name of this device". Probably they used the same case for the lithium battery versions, and the branding continued from there.

      • As a (informed) consumer I know eneloop for their Aa and aaa batteries which are 1.2v Nickel–metal hydride batteries.

        The item has a lithium-ion battery. I am sure there is an eneloop battery in there, just not sure about how good it is in comparison to the companies aa and aaa offerings.

        • +1

          They've been making these Eneloop Li-Ion mobile boosters for almost 8 years now which I'm sure is longer than most here have been aware of the Eneloop brand.

  • "Qi-compatible device"

    So this is charge-able with a QI charger? Does anyone know if this is what it's referring to?

    • +1

      Yes, its chargable by a Qi charger. I bought a $4 eBay Qi pad to charge this Eneloop powerbank and it works.. though getting it positioned right is tricky.

      • Thanks Thrawn. Do you mean tricky because of your Qi pad, or because of the powerbank. I have a kogan Qi charger!

        • Not sure. Don't have any other Qi devices.

          Probably the cheapo $4 Qi pad.. I was just experimenting.

        • @Thrawn: When I was in Japan around 2yrs ago I saw the Panasonic QE-TM101 qi charger. It would actually detect where the device is on the charging pad, therefore not requiring any positioning at all.

          I remember buying one for my family for around AU$30.

          Therefore I believe it is just your charging pad which is making it tricky to charge it.

  • I have a couple of these and they are great for this price and charge an iPhone 5 fine. I also have an Xiaomi 16000mAh, but mainly take this if I think my tablet might need a charge. The Xiaomi is heavier and overkill for a phone if just used for a day.

    BTW, charging these with Nokia Qi charge mats from an old Lumia 920.

    Here I was thinking click and collected meant "click, then go collect"

    "We have received your order & your payment is now being verified. Once verified your order will be sent to your nominated store. When your order is ready to collect, the store will send you an email / SMS advising that your order is now ready to collect. Your order will generally be ready to collect with 24 hours"

  • Sounds interesting but unfortunately it can't even properly charge up my Note 2, given such small battery capacity.

    • thanks was looking for this feedback. note2 has a 3800mah battery I think, wasn't sure if this mobile charger could do enough

      • 3100mAh

  • Has anyone bought this for $9.98? Its still $32.98 on their site or am I missing something?
