Buy one get one free deal from Cygnett. You will need to ADD TWO power-banks to the cart and you'll get one free so it comes down to $34 each. You might be able to stack previous coupon codes for further discounts but I haven't tried.

Especially since it doesn't have PD.
Covid inflation.Xiaomi 10000 mah powerbanks used to be available for as low as $15 pre-covid

The powerbanks are only 10,000mAh.
Charge two devices simultaneously on the go: USB-A Output: (15.5W), USB-C Output: (15.5W)
Not sure I would pay $34 these.
10,000 Xiaomi powerbanks are sub $30 (standard price) on ebay and they can charge up to 18W
The Xiaomi 10,000 one is really good. Been using it for 2 months with no issues
It's okay, but the USB-C port is for charging the powerbank only based on the description. However, the ability to use quick charge to charge the powerbank does come in handy.
This is the latest Xiaomi 10000 mah model which can both charge and discharge via Type C usb PD for around $35
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/234191375877This is better than the cygnett in this post.
@techno2000: Problem is we had 30,000 powerbank OZB deals in the past below $50 with better features. That's the issue I found with 10,000. Cheap ones have limited features (and generally inaccurate % display). Ones with more desirable features aren't cost effective enough.

I have a Cygnett older style powerbank (LED lights instead of %) for less than $20 (was on special). Cygnett generally uses old design and not having fast charging (QC2,3,4 or PD) support. Decent quality. Interestingly, on devices which doesn't support QC or PD (i.e. old iPad Air 2), Cygnett one outputs more current than Xiaomi equivalent with a fast charging chipset (supporting more charging protocols).
El cheapo 10,000 one - $15. However, that one doesn't hold charge over long period of time and the percentage shown can be incorrect, especially when you first get it, it will show just below 80%, but it quickly runs out and requires a full charge from 0. Cygnett one I have doesn't have this issue (Xiaomi one also doesn't have this issue).
Cygnett really should put in a chip to support fast charging. I know the chip does allow powerbank maker to save $$$ on safety design (but most of us don't have the electronics knowledge to tell) whereas we care more about fast charging support.
I actually have issue with the digital indicator on Cygnett power bank (suddenly drop to nil from 70/80/90 randomly), tried their recalibratate video on YouTube, still dosent work, going through the warranty claim now (3months old).
Did quick google search, digital indicator issue is common for all brands, so won’t recommend any digital indicator powerbank to save the trouble.
Thanks for this. I have issue with 2 of them (ones with % display). Also, I still don't trust powerbanks enough. For my main phone, I still use only original charger.
Also, with powerbanks, they don't have preserve battery type charging (they cannot coz. there is no clock). Also, charging to just 80% is not feasible for powerbanks (we want them at 100%). They have a good chance to go through full charging cycles a lot. They feel more like consumables.
I have the baseus 65watt 30,000 mah pack and the digital display on that seems pretty accurate.
Does that one report voltage and current values as well? I noticed ones that report / measure those seem more accurate.
However, for 10,000 ones, especially cheaper ones, they tend to be inaccurate. Sometimes even less accurate than simple 3 to 4 LED lights.
@Perrino: The 30,000 ones have better display info. However, they are in a different price bracket. 30,000 does take a long time to charge, even with fast charge. Also, heavier.
My 30,000 one reports voltage and current value slightly different to the USB-C meter I used to check (so it is technically possible to calculate the charging efficiency). Using powerbank is not the most power efficient (since both charging to the powerbank and powerbank to the device charging aren't 100% efficient).
Thought this was around $20
I have had 3 or 4 Cygnett powerbanks (diffeeent sizes for different purposes) and they have all been great. Some are now 5+ years old amd still going strong.
No one is saying anything wrong with this brand,
The deal is over priced for what it is.
There's something weirdly upsetting about a piwerbabk that has a usb-c output but a micro USB input.
Powerbanks are one of the things I won't buy off-brand simply because I've seen what can happen if you get one that's put together poorly, its not worth burning your house down to save a few bucks.
With a Cygnett or other brands on shelves you can have a level of confidence they're up to Australian standards and if there are issues they're a candidate for a recall.
Xiaomi have a decent rep but if you're buying from ebay make 100% sure you're not buying a knock off.

For even less money you can get 2x 20,000 mAh power banks (ie. double the capacity) delivered. The current price isn't even the cheapest price on these models; I've seen them drift down into the $26-27 mark. Informative display shows charge rate, charged capacity, etc.Well worth looking into.
I agree that on discount its cheaper and has a nice display, but if you check out these reviews OzBargain Post it seems to fail a lot / catch fire.
Cygnett is more expensive but probably way less failure rate.
$34 each for a 10,000 MaH is still pretty expensive
