Not the best ever price but still a good deal for anyone looking for high capacity battery charger for their portable electronic devices. Has multiple inputs and outputs. Will charge most phones, Nintendo switch, etc. I have a couple of Romoss power banks (not this one, though) and they work great.

Capacity of 26800mAH at 3.7V brings it to just under the 100Wh legal limit for flights (best to confirm with your airline).

Free delivery for all from Amazon as it is just over the $39 threshold.

    anything over 20000mAH will be taken away from you . i lost my battery bank 30,000 2 weeks ago and they show me the max limit is 20,000mah

      i flew via tokyo, moscow, zurich, london & frankfurt in dec19 with my 26800mah without any issues. The limit is 100WHr, although some airlines will allow up to up 160WHr with prior approval.

      Qantas and Virgin web sites clearly state the limit is 100Wh. This powerbank uses 3.7V cells (as do most Li-ION units). 26800mAH times 3.7V equals 99.6Wh, which is under the 100Wh limit. This is the reason they designed this unit with a 26800mAH capacity. A 30000mAH unit will take you over the limit. A 20000mAH unit should be fine.

      I've flown to Japan, America, and Australia with my battery bank from Anker, 26800 mAH and vene had any problems. I've flown these routes at least 6-8 times in the last 2 years.

      30,000 mAh is definitely above the limits. I'd like to see some signage that indicates that battery limits greater than 20,000 mAH is against the law.

      From what I've seen in some write ups, 28,000 mAH is the absolutel maximum.

      • FarQ on 05/02/2020 - 15:43

        sort of correct. as per qantas website, up to 100WHr (and a maximum of 10 items) can be carried in carry-on without approval. 100Whr - 160Whr must have prior approval (u can download a form) and declared at check-in (maximum 2 items). Anything over 160WHr is not allowed on carry-on at all.
        mileage with other airlines may vary, but most will have no issues with up to 100WHr.

        • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 05/02/2020 - 16:10

          Qantas (and Jetstar) make it quite easy too with their form as I believe it gives you 12 months of approval.

        • jonathonsunshine on 05/02/2020 - 17:22

          over 160WHr is not allowed on carry-on at all.

          you mean on the plane at all? I thought no batteries in stowed luggage.

          • NegEveryone on 05/02/2020 - 17:45

            @jonathonsunshine: That's correct, you must carry it on. you can't store batteries in checked-in luggage.
            I was asked this during my flight from Germany, to USA.

      20,000mah is if you calculate it using the nominal voltage of 5V which will make it below 100WH.

      The reason why they say 20k MAH is max is because the item itself says "20,000mah and 5V", therefore if you calculate it purely on what the packaging says (yes its false advertising by the manufacturer), then 20,000mah = 100WH.

      However if you know the construction of the powerbank then the actual batteries inside is 3.7V, which makes a 20,000mah = 74WH.
      Xiaomi ones explicitly print the WH, so i suspect bringing one of those onboard which although says >20000mah, but it explicitly shows the correct WH printed on the device.

      I think it all comes down to luck… and if you get a officer look at you the wrong way… Most will be able to bring it, but there will be fringe cases where they get confiscated. Comes down to if you are willing to risk it or not.

        Its funny because the technicality is that the batteries nominal voltage is 3.7V, but when they are charged it is actually around 4.1V. so 26800 times 4.1V is actually over the 100Wh limit. But they aren't smart enough to know that :)

    Remember, this does not charge most laptops. It only does 12v max. No 15v, no 20v. Not worth the purchase imho.

    • khrome on 06/02/2020 - 09:10

      Well if you wanted to charge a laptop, you wouldn't buy it. It charges everything else so definitely worth it.

  • Trojan on 05/02/2020 - 16:21

    I bring my Ravpower 26800mah powerbank on every flight and have never airline tell me it was over the limit.

    • Domingo on 05/02/2020 - 23:38

      I took that one and a 10000 mAh Xiaomi to and from Koh Samui last week, didn't get any questions. Both just in my backpack I took on board, it didn't get looked at in Melb, Changi or Koh Samui airports

    • 0PriceJack0 on 05/02/2020 - 16:40

      • Samsungnote10 on 05/02/2020 - 16:49

        Happy with a xiamoi

        Just cant seem to find any 10k ones for ozbargain prices!

    What is flight approved supposed to mean (each airline is different)? who gives this authority?

    • AssociatedClear @ Romoss AU Direct on 05/02/2020 - 17:13

      It's specific to each airline and country. In Australia you can fly with up to 100Wh without airline approval and 100-160Wh with airline approval.

      Qantas/Jetstar have a form that you fill out to get approval for a year. Virgin simply ask that you declare it at check in.

  • mousie on 05/02/2020 - 17:23

    the Romoss range is great had a 20000 30000Mah

  • stevelo on 05/02/2020 - 17:44

    I guess this won’t work will Dell laptop

    • coxymla on 05/02/2020 - 19:02

      Won't charge a full-size laptop.
      Might charge a chromebook-type lite laptop.

      Unfortunately it's really hard to find which voltages can be used to charge which laptops.

  • alexanderino on 05/02/2020 - 19:21

    It's worth knowing that the max USB-C PD output is 18W, no higher. Don't expect to charge laptops, for instance. But if 18W is all you need, then it will do the job without fuss.

  • freelife on 05/02/2020 - 20:04

    This is very heavy. Twice the weight of Ravpower with same capacity

  • Grissallia on 06/02/2020 - 08:06

    Showing up as $48.99 for me. However, thanks to the comments I learned about the 100WHr limit.
