This is my first post, so please forgive any mistakes and happy to get advice on improving the post.

So I was just browsing through the Samsung Members App and found this deal. All you have to do is get a free health check done (hardly takes 5 mins) on your Samsung phone at any Samsung store (would recommend booking an appointment to reduce wait time) and you get a free Samsung 10000mAh Fast Charge Battery Pack worth $59 RRP. This is applicable for eligible Samsung Members, so please check if it is applicable for you (possibly only AU stock Samsung phones).

I have a S8 phone, so I would assume anyone with S8 or higher should automatically be eligible for the deal.

Hope it helps. Cheers

Edit:
Found this on the homepage / dashboard (bottom section) within the Samsung Members app. Didn't have to browse in the app.

Mod Note: Based on comments, it appears to be devices older than Samsung S8 and newer than Samsung S5. Samsung Members app is required.

    ‘Visit any Samsung store today and get a free health check to make sure YOU’RE device is running smoothly’. Yeah. Sounds legit

  • mastablasta on 27/03/2019 - 16:10

    I've got an S7 but cannot see the offer.

    Do we need to sign in to the app to see it?

    Can someone take a screenshot of the home page so I know which part of the app I should be looking at?

    • AussieDaddy on 27/03/2019 - 16:13

      I have S5 and wondering the same thing.

    • RichardL on 27/03/2019 - 16:22

      Requires the Samsung Members app

      • mastablasta on 27/03/2019 - 16:27

        Yes, I've opened the Samsung Members app but cannot see it.

        Hence why I'd like to see a screenshot of this offer.

          Make sure you use the Play store version of the Samsung Members instead of the one in Samsung app store.

      On the train from Parramatta (which refused to do the check) to the Sydney Store. I wonder if they'll have stock left when I arrive…

    • lostn on 27/03/2019 - 18:05

      How was your health?

      Did they offer a battery upgrade?

      What else did they do for you?

  • AlextheMeertkat on 27/03/2019 - 16:15

      Just walk into the store, no appointments necessary. Probably might have wait for 10 or 15, depending on the queue.

        nope doesnt work - just went to a Samsung store and they specifically say it doesn't work for international models because they have to run a diagnostic which could brick the phone - their exact wording
        I doubt that is true but I guess it is their way of clawing out of giving freebies to non AU Samsung buyers

        • [Deactivated] on 27/03/2019 - 18:27

          Do you have an AU firmware flashed on your device?

          • yummypinacolada on 27/03/2019 - 18:57

            @[Deactivated]: Nope, no idea how to do that. Does it make a difference though? Other comments said they check imei, so I guess it won't matter.

    • kspara on 27/03/2019 - 18:55

      I have a s8+ dual SIM from HK. ( I have flashed the AU firmware though).
      Went to TTP store in Modbury, SA - was asked if I just wanted the free battery pack or have the health check as well. Did the health check - got the battery pack - in and out under 5 minutes
      Looked at making a booking online.. Had no availability, but just went to the store.. 3 CSRs all free.

      • yummypinacolada on 27/03/2019 - 19:00

        You might be lucky that the staff didn't try to check whether your phone is Australian or import. Anyway, good for you.

        • kspara on 27/03/2019 - 19:04

          I still did the health check, so they got the IMEI and everything. So they would have known it was an import.

    • szabby on 28/03/2019 - 16:21

    • linkii on 29/03/2019 - 13:36

      No luck at Parra store. I even had a booking (for next week), and the snobby customer service told me to come back next time. Asked to change the booking as you can't do it online and was told it was booked out.

      They had like 4 guys standing around doing nothing, just staring at me. No customers at all.

      Sydney Bondi didn't do any check. Enabled Developer mode and checked IMEI number or some shit. Kinda Dodgy. But that was it. Takes 15 minutes to process the offer.

  • Ironh59 on 27/03/2019 - 17:13

    Got it from Sydney CBD store today. Didn't have to book an appointment, but had to wait for 20-25 minutes.

    They ran the diagnosis and found issues with the battery. They also offered to replace it under warranty. So I got the powerbank and will get a new battery for free :)

    • RichardL on 27/03/2019 - 17:34

      Wait is now up to an hour.

    • lostn on 27/03/2019 - 18:08

      How long have you had the phone? Is it under 24 months?

      My S8 would be on the 24th month. Wonder if they will do a battery upgrade. But most likely it's not far enough gone.

        My S8 under 24 months. Battery is not very bad, it lasts a day (barely). I didn’t ask, they just offered to replace it.

    • Fobsessive on 27/03/2019 - 22:32

      Nice of them to be proactive and replace. Does it lose its water-resistance?

  • kaebomb on 27/03/2019 - 17:16

    Hope they have plenty of stock since the offer doesn't end until mid April..

  • ozizoy on 27/03/2019 - 17:16

    I don't see it with Note 9

  • kulakula on 27/03/2019 - 17:22
    -1

    The Battery provides
    ~60% efficiency at 5V 2A
    ~30% efficiency at 9V 1.67A
    ~23% efficiency at 12V 1.25A

    So its terrible quality basically.

    • kungfupanda on 27/03/2019 - 18:01

      thanks kulakula… you saved me a trip to local store, and the time of "not sure if they will provide the powerbank"

    • lostn on 27/03/2019 - 18:08

      Is that written on the box?

    • spaceflight on 27/03/2019 - 18:12

      A lithium battery is about 3.6v so the higher the voltage you need the less 'efficient' it will be because of conversion losses.

    • BerkPatrol on 27/03/2019 - 20:12

      Where did you find this info?

      • sickburn on 28/03/2019 - 12:10
        +1

        The back of the box gives these figures.

        Normal typical 6300 mAh (5V 2A) 31.5 Wh
        Fast typical 3100 mAh (9V 1.67A) 27.9 Wh
        Fast typical 2300 mAh (12V 1.25A) 27.6 Wh

        The powerbank is 10000 mAh with a nominal voltage of 3.85V. P=IV so 3.85 x 10 = 38.5 watt-hours best case.

        If we go off the watt-hour ratings:

        Normal typical is ~82% efficient
        Fast typical (9V) is ~75% efficient
        Fast typical (12V) is ~72% efficient

        • kulakula on 28/03/2019 - 17:02
          -1

          Apologies, I don't understand the math for this science. I just directly converted the number.

        • victorheaven on 28/03/2019 - 17:45

          I'm confused about what these mean.

          Fast typical 2300 mAh (12V 1.25A) 27.6 Wh, does it not mean that if charging at 12V 1.25A, it would only have 2300 mAh capacity?

          • sickburn on 28/03/2019 - 18:01
            +1

            @victorheaven: Yes. Basically, the lithium battery inside the pack has a nominal voltage of 3.85V (4.35V fully charged). Circuitry boosts the voltage to 5V, 9V, or 12V depending on what device is connected. No circuit is 100% efficient.

            Most batteries are better at supply low power for long periods of time rather than high power for short periods of time. This is taken into effect when giving the "typical capacity" ratings.
