    do they send powerbank to australia? thought they stopped doing it

    • Didn't stop me at check out. Paid through PayPal, so we shall see.

    • +1

      Banggood resumed shipping batteries to Australia ages ago. They do make you use the "priority direct" shipping, so there is no 'free' shipping on batteries.

  • +1

    Is this USB-PD? It doesn't seem to specifically mention this anywhere.

    • +1

      Yes.

      USB-C: 5V3A,9V3A,12V3A,15V3A,20V2A

      • +1

        Thanks, its in the description and inferable from the charge rates but I added it to the title.

        • Thanks guys, I figured as much but I thought with USB-PD being such a selling point it would be strange to not make it really obvious. Good deal then… May just buy one.

      • +4

        Please correct me if I'm wrong and I will edit this post, but according to my research, just because it can charge up to 45W does not mean it has Power Delivery (PD). It requires the actual PD protocol to be able to charge in PD. Since Xiaomi does not state it anywhere, it might not include it?
        Again please correct me if I'm wrong as I am also looking for a PD power bank.

        • +1

          It's not the 45W that's important, it's the negotiable voltage up to 20v, to the best of my knowledge PD is the only thing which supports this… furthermore, PD is the only supported charge mechanism for Apple MacBooks… and they claim to be able to charge that.

        • +7

          The USB-C 1.2 standard is limited to 5V/3A and to achieve the higher compliant levels that Xiaomi are advertising they must use USB-PD which has a maximum of 20V/5A as of version 3 shown here.

          Chongdiantou who are the leaders in charger/power bank testing have confirmed in their review (Chinese sorry) that it's using USB-PD as well as Apple 2.4A, QC3/2, Huawei FCP and Samsung AFC. Xiaomi are even listing USB-PD laptops as being compatible on their product page.

          This shows the real downside of Xiaomi though. They have a good track record of not advertising what fast charging technologies they use. Take their 20000mAh 2 series power banks for example which display QC2/3 voltage levels but doesn't mention QC anywhere. The manufacturer of all Xiaomi power banks (ZMI) however does :)

          • @Clear: Too easy. Thanks for that!

            • @dblade123: No worries. I pray Xiaomi will use the correct terms one day!

          • @Clear: Hi,

            You seem to know what you're talking about so I'd like to ask for some advice.

            Does this Power Bank support QC 3.0? I ask because I would want to use it with the TS80 soldering iron which requires:
            Power Input: 3.6V-6.5V/3A, or 6.5V-9V/2A, or 9V-12V/1.5A ~ (QC 3.0)

            It HAS to be QC 3.0 as USB-PD is not sufficient.

            Thank you in advance.

            Regards,
            Michal

              @michal: From Amazon listing page:

              USB-C Output (Apple 2.4A, QC 2.0/3.0, Huawei FCP, Samsung AFC, USB PD): 5V๐Œ‚3A, 9V๐Œ‚3A, 12V๐Œ‚3A, 15V๐Œ‚3A, 20V๐Œ‚2A, max 45W

  • Can it charge MacBook Pro?

    • They claim to yes, right there on the page. I'd trust them at their word since it's mentioned specifically.
      Edit: 45W is obviously less than full power for a MacBook Pro (65W), in my experience it can charge on this but if you draw full power it might struggle. Definitely if its off, just don't play games and charge, surfing should be fine.

  • No USB hub feature from what I can see right?

    • how would it work as a hub?

      • +1

        Like the zmi

    • +1

      "Sunny84" Correcet. No USB Hub feature unlike the ZMI 815 & 820 that do.

  • Wouldnโ€™t the Xiaomi Zmi No.10 be a better choice here in Aussie? Got some local sellers sell the similar price but in either 15000mah or 20000mah?

    • The 15000mah is a bit more expensive and the 20000mah is at least $20 or more over this price though for ZMI 10.

      I'm waiting for a deal on the QB820 myself it's been around $100 without sales :(

      • Happy with my QN815, good price overall, canโ€™t see any big difference over QB820 though.

      • I've noticed there's a ZMI QB821. Does anyone have one and how does it compare to the QB820 and does it have hub capabilities also?

        Something doesn't add up when it's so much cheaper. Even though it has a usb-c port USB-PD isn't mentioned anywhere.

        • +2

          Only QB815 QB820 QB910 have USB-hub functionality.

          QB821 is basically rebranded Xiaomi 2C with additional battery % display.
          QB822 is QB821 with 27W USB PD output instead of 18W to support more devices.

          • @Mostly Melbourne: Thanks for that. Looks like QB815 QB820 QB910 are my options and they all vary in capacity.

  • Can someone help me out?
    Would this be sufficient for a Switch?
    I'm generally pretty clued in about all things tech-related, but haven't quite been able to wrap my head around mAh and portable chargers in general.

    If someone could help me out and also kind of explain it in simple terms for me I'd appreciate it

    • The page specifically lists the switch as being compatible so should be all good

    • The switch needs 18W (or 15W says some) so with this being 45W… it's perfect!

      • Switch also needs 39W for quick charging so this should be good for this as well.

    • mAh is the easy bit - it's just capacity. The Switch has a ~4300mAh battery.

      • So a charger would have to match or exceed that?

        How do you know if it would charge a certain device fast enough?

  • Is this physically a black version of the 20000mah 2C?
    I.e. hard plastic shell?
    QB820 was metal :D

    • I have one of these. It's black plastic with a slight matte texture.

  • Can this be used for non USB devices?

    I know these battery packs are primarily designed for phones/tablets and even notebooks but what about using with say a TENS machine that uses 12v input?

    Would a USB to 5.5mm barrel connector cable be able to supply 12v/1.5A to a 'dumb' device (like TENS machine) or does the battery pack need a 'smart' device to negotiate what voltage to supply?

    I'm just looking at an alternate (rechargeable) solution instead of chewing through 9v batteries for TENS machine. Yes I know of 9v rechargeable batteries but that means outlay for rechargeable 9v and charger. This battery pack though has more usage flexibility.

    • Output: 45W MAX
      USB-A(Single port): 5V2.4A,9V2A,12V1.5A
      USB-A(Dual USB): 5V3A
      USB-C: 5V3A,9V3A,12V3A,15V3A,20V2A
      3 Port: 5V5.4A, 9V3A, 12V3A,15V3A,20V2A

      • I see the output chart but my concern is about the volatility of Li-on chemistry. Is the temp & discharge safety circuitry all in the battery pack or is there some 'handshaking' required on the receiving device as well?

        • +1

          You will need an Arduino or something to negotiate QC2, QC3 or USB-PD.

          • @futaris: Cheers. Part figured there'd have to be a 'smart' device on the receiving end in order to instruct battery pack to send right voltage. Electronics has come a long way in recent years so still had slight glimmer of hope of auto sensing feedback but not yet.
            Sending 20v into a 5v or 12v device; not good. :)

            A bank of rechargeable AAs for my 12v maybe.

  • So want to pull the trigger but my one and only order from BG for BlitzWolf cables is still on back order from November 28th. Anyone else have issues with BG recently?

    • BlitzWolf is owned by BG and it seems they can't keep up with supply of their own cables. Other brands like this should have no issues with orders.

  • Has anyone had any experience 'pre-ordering' from Banggood before? Are they just waiting for more stock to arrive?

  • Picjed it up for 199yuan(40aud) in shanghai.very good power bank

  • Anyone know if this can charge a Thinkpad t480s?

    • Can't see why not - it'll just be slower.

  • Good find thanks OP just purchased.

  • Seems too expensive?!

    • Just bought one from Amazon for $81~

      You can't really find any other cheaper good quality 20,000 mAh USB-PD 45W+ Power Banks out

  • Out of stock.

    What's the preorder system like, will I get to keep the same price?

    • I just did the pre-order, it was still $65 for me. Just not sure how long it'll take for it to arrive now…

    • +1

      It's not OOS, it was always pre-order if you read the description.

  • Not downvoting but wow. $65. For a charger. Because it's noticably faster (on some phones). Um no thanks. Ozbargain. Not Oz-SellAKidneyToChargeYourPhone.

    • $65 for your Kidney? You should post that as a new deal.

      • Do you have any idea how badly I've treated it!? lol

    • For charging your phone, pretty well any old thing will do. For charging a switch or MacBook you need something like this.

      • Serious question: How large a boost is 20000mAH going to give you? Is that enough to fully charge a MacBook or Switch?

        • My 13" Mac I believe is somewhere in the 5,000mAh ballpark. 15" supposedly around 7,200mAh~
          So yeah I bought this Power Bank because it's enough to charge my Mac, Phone, Switch multiple times within one charge.

    • Find me something cheaper to fast charge my Nintendo Switch

      • -1

        read above… it would support the 39W required

    • So nice of you not to downvote this just because you don't need one.

  • Not sure if I want to grab this or just splurge on the Anker powercore+ 26800mAh. Actually I should probably do my research into whether it's accepted on planes

    • +1

      I think the 26800mAh is the magic number that's juuust under the limit so it's designed to be taken on planes

  • Thanks OP, ordered one.

    It says "Processing time:Expected on February 27, 2019"

    Taking into account 3-5 business days of processing time + 4-5 weeks shipping to Australia

    So, safe to assume to arrive around 2nd / 9th April?

    • That sounds about right from my experience.

  • I can't seem to figure out the difference between this and the ZMI power banks. Can anyone point out he main differences?

    • +2

      This post had a lot of discussions: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/434097

      Basically,
      Xiaomi 3 Pro vs Zmi 10:
      Plastic | Aluminium Body
      Li-Po | Li-Ion cells
      153.5 x 73.5 x 27.5 mm | 160 x 81.8 x 21 mm
      439.6g | 405g
      USB-A to USB-C Cable | USB-C to C Cable, 2in1 Cable
      No USB hub | USB hub
      Cheaper | Expensive

      • Thanks for the summary :) appreciate your link too, definitely have me a better idea between the two

  • Seems to be a lot cheaper then ones I can find on ebay… What will be the going rate? I will end up getting one but not desperate is this a special deal? Or can I hold out and buy at this price later?

    • Itโ€™s a pre order so itโ€™s usually 10-20% cheaper, and sometimes a sliding discount

  • What cables and brands are people using to charge laptops. In my case a usb c thunderbolt 3

    • Iโ€™ve always found ALogic cables to be affordable yet reliable. Personal view but they are dependable

  • So this is usb c to usb c cables i should be getting. Any included?

      • Thanks but doesn't matter now as they cancelled my order saying there's no carrier and they can't ship to this address

        • That's sorry to hear, which one did you order in the end that was cancelled?

          • @Mostly Melbourne: Bang good is real bad with customer service. Ordered Power Bank 3 Pro 20000mAh

  • Ordered this a few months back. Just received an old/different model with no usb c? Anyone else with this problem?

    • Mine arrived and was correct. Mistakes can happen, either follow them up directly or with PayPal if applicable and necessary.
