      Buy one at this price and return it with your higher priced receipt

        If you're still able to return using the higher priced receipt I'd recommend just go ask the store manager if he can do it for you in one go and save everyone and yourself the trouble of buying walking out only to walk back in to do a return.

  • ekkcheng on 20/09/2018 - 09:32

    Wondering if anyone have this powerbank and what is charging this powerbank itself like?

    What type of charger and connection do you use and how long did it take?

    • RichardL on 20/09/2018 - 09:36
      +1

      The best way to charge this Power Bank, would be using a USB-C PD Power Adapter.

    • reactor-au on 20/09/2018 - 09:59
      +2

      It charged pretty slow (maybe 4 hours) using a 18W Google Pixel 2XL USB-C charger.

      • Bigboomboom on 20/09/2018 - 10:01
        +1

        You need the 60W PD wall charger.

        • reactor-au on 20/09/2018 - 10:06
          +1

          I have a 60W PD charger, I prefer to charge slower because it's less wear on the Li-Po cells.
          Anyway, the power bank supports up to 30W USB-C PD input.

        • HighAndDry on 20/09/2018 - 10:29

          @reactor-au: Yeah so at max speed it should charge to full in closer to 2 hrs. But with its capacity and especially if you want to charge it slower, physics kind of limits how fast it'll charge, can't get around that haha.

        • reactor-au on 20/09/2018 - 10:35
          +1

          @HighAndDry: I don't think it charges at full speed from 0-100%. Like a smartphone, it starts off slow, speeds up gradually towards half way until about 90% maybe then slows down for the last. I will test it further when Banggood (useless site) eventually deliver my Power-Z KT001 USB power meter.

        • HighAndDry on 20/09/2018 - 10:39

          @reactor-au: Oh yeah - there's some power management/ideal charging speed curve thing. Just, faster than 4hrs I'd imagine.

      • yozza on 20/09/2018 - 11:35

        see my reply below, I couldn't get it to work with any of my google chargers :(

        Cygnett told me this was a known issue. so now i'm very confused…

        Did you get it working with the one that came in the box?

        Did the green "PD" light come on?

        were the blue lights flashing while charging?

        If this will actually work, then i'll buy again?

        • ringostingo on 20/09/2018 - 21:32

          I've only ever charged mine with google chargers, one that came with Pixel XL and one with Pixel 2 XL. Works fine for me. Green light comes on and blue lights flash until it is fully charged.

        • yozza on 23/09/2018 - 14:34

          @ringostingo: thanks very much for your reply! I'm so confused now… Why would Cygnett say it was a known issue?

        • ringostingo on 23/09/2018 - 17:14

          @yozza: I guess it could be a common issue, but I personally haven't had any issues at all. Maybe they're just saying it to shift the blame on to Google rather than themselves?

    • yozza on 20/09/2018 - 11:32
      +2

      I got this with the last $98 deal.

      I was very happy with this until it came to charging the power bank itself; it wouldn't charge with 3 different USB-C wall adapters!

      These weren't cheap random wall adapters either, they were 1) purchased from the google store 2) came with pixel 1 XL 3) came with pixel 2 XL.

      Called Cygnett and they were very evasive and tried to skirt the issue and blame google or some "incompatibility." Initially their product manager said that "in his experience there were some issues sometimes" then later he said Cygnett had done internal testing and confirmed it was a known problem!

      They then confirmed by email:
      *Cygnett testing has confirmed that the ChargeUp Pro 20k is unable to be charged by the Google 18W USB-C PD charger or the Google 15W USB-C charger
      *It is not currently known what the cause of this issue is
      *It is unknown whether future versions of this product will fix this issue

      Hope this helps

      • reactor-au on 21/09/2018 - 08:51

        Well that's not true because I charged mine with the 18W pixel 2XL charger.

        I think maybe if you drain the power bank completely it might not be able to negotiate USB PD and the charger won't send power, try using a USB A to USB C charger and cable to get it started. If you have a Power-Z KT001 you could maybe spoof the Pixel charger to negotiate USB PD too.

        • yozza on 23/09/2018 - 14:36

          thanks very much for your reply! I'm so confused now… Why would Cygnett say it was a known issue?

          Thanks, I've always been testing when it was above 25% charged (at least 2 dots) though…

          Maybe I just got unlucky? sigh.

        • sleepyowl on 25/09/2018 - 20:02

          @yozza: thats very strange, and bad service on their part as well. I just received mine and am currently charging it with my pixel xl 2 charger.

    • skittlebrau on 20/09/2018 - 12:51

      I use my MacBook Pro USB-C charger. I can't really comment how long it takes to charge it though because I usually just let it charge overnight.

  • butter on 20/09/2018 - 09:37

  • Apocsky on 20/09/2018 - 09:46

    Does anyone know if it has just one output port (USB-C)? And I'm guessing charging is USB-C too?

    • reactor-au on 20/09/2018 - 09:58

      The USB-C port is used for input and output.
      As far as I can tell, the powerbank doesn't support pass through.

    • HighAndDry on 20/09/2018 - 10:04

      It has a USB-A QC3.0 port and a normal USB-A port too.

  • draistlin on 20/09/2018 - 10:46

    • StarForge on 20/09/2018 - 11:12

      Yeah you will, the charging cable that comes with the Switch only connects to mains power

      • draistlin on 20/09/2018 - 11:29

        hope this isn't a stupid question, but can I use a Type B to Type C to charge the switch?

        • skittlebrau on 20/09/2018 - 12:54

          Not a stupid question. You can do it, but it will charge slower and may not do a good job of sustaining your battery if playing a demanding title like Zelda BOTW. USB-C to USB-C would be best.

          I use a short Anker PowerLine+ USB-C to USB-C cable with my Cygnett 20K powerbank and Nintendo Switch. They cost about $20 on eBay.

    • Pulsey on 20/09/2018 - 11:22

      I'll be doing the same. Do you know if any Type-C to Type-C would work just as good?

      • reactor-au on 20/09/2018 - 12:07

        Yes the type-c to type-c is the best way to charge the switch but the usb-a to usb-c will still charge slowly but good enough for indies and less demanding titles.

      • HighAndDry on 20/09/2018 - 14:57

        You'll need a Type-C to Type-C cable that supports USB-PD charging. Not all Type-C cables support this.

  • z10cvbnm on 20/09/2018 - 10:52

    • Bigboomboom on 20/09/2018 - 14:10

      If you don't need PD there are tons of option. This is basically the one of two Australian stock power bank with USB-C PD (the other being Kogan).

    it doesn't support macbook pro.

    • fatal on 20/09/2018 - 11:39

      It does charge the MacBook Pro, but the output isn't enough to sustain the charge % if you're using the laptop under a high load.

      If you're just idling it will charge but best usecase is to just close the lid and let it charge without using it.

  • bundyoz on 20/09/2018 - 11:35

    Bought one from Myer Doncaster a while ago with price match, but used award points to "pay" for it. One thing I've noticed is the tiny charging lead that came with it….10cm….gets damn hot. So I've been using my S8 lead…charger and lead still get hot, but all good so far. Great unit, even though it's a bit weighty when travelling.

  • BuyoTheCat on 20/09/2018 - 11:36

    How does the Cygnett compare with this RAVPower

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RAVPower-26800mAh-PD-30W-USB-C-P…

    • fatal on 20/09/2018 - 11:41

      Cygnett has less capacity but much higher output wattage charging a larger variety of devices quickly.

    • HighAndDry on 20/09/2018 - 15:00

      Basically the Cygnett has max 45W USB-PD output over the USB-C port, and a QC3.0 USB-A port.

      Ravpower has 6800mAH more capacity, but only does 30W USB-PD output, and its USB-A ports are just normal ones.

  • Pulsey on 20/09/2018 - 11:55

    Does this come with a cable to charge the actual powerbank?

    • yozza on 20/09/2018 - 12:05

      yes, but only A-C (not C-C). so you can't use PD with the included cable

      • Pulsey on 20/09/2018 - 12:15

        Sorry mate. I'm a complete noob… What's PD mean/do?

        • yozza on 20/09/2018 - 12:16

          Power Delivery. Allows USB-C devices to charge with very high Wattage. This is how you can now use USB-C to charge laptops, etc.

          If you don't need this, there are much cheaper power banks, so you should save your dollars.

        • Pulsey on 20/09/2018 - 12:25

          Okay makes sense. I will be using this to charge my Nintendo Switch - this is the proper way to charge it, correct? Using USB-C?

        • yozza on 20/09/2018 - 12:29

          @Pulsations: yes. it will work with A, but will charge much slower. if playing demanding games, it may not be sufficient to charge.

        • Pulsey on 20/09/2018 - 12:32
          +1

          Okay but using a USB-C cable with this powerbank will be the most sufficient way to charge my Switch?

        • HighAndDry on 20/09/2018 - 15:01

          @Pulsations: Yes. Make sure you get a Type-C to Type-C cable that supports USB-PD charging though. Not all Type-C cables support this.

      Personally I prefer the Anker, but it near impossible to find thr Anker Powercore+ PD in Australia (or a place that would ship to Australia) for a reasonable price.

      But for ~$75, this would be a great purchase.

      • skittlebrau on 20/09/2018 - 12:55

        If you're really set on Anker (I'm a fan too) you could possibly ask PLE if they could order the Powercore+ PD from their supplier.

    Would this charge the Surface Go over USB C?

    • HighAndDry on 20/09/2018 - 15:08

      The Surface Go seems to accept USB-PD 45W charging, and this powerbank does USB-PD 45W charging, so tentative "yes" on this count. Go google for real-life accounts to be safe.

    Hi everyone!

    My 2 devices that need charging are Samsung S9 and Lenovo 14" Thinkpad Carbon X1 2017, both of which have USB-C charging.
    With the 20,000 mAh, how many charges can it give my laptop?

    Also, how would I go about powering this powerbank up? Do I have to use my laptop's power brick which is 65W USB-C?

    Thanks!
