    This is a big boy….might be helpful for those upcoming summer camping trips.

    Camping trips, yes. Unfortunately, it's too big for aircraft.

    • What is the maximum for aircraft? And don't most aircrafts have USB to charge anyway (slow charge though)

      • +3

        I think it's about 30K, my one is 21K and is fine

        • Thanks guys. I try and travel lightly but I can see the case use if backpacking, camping etc.

      • +15

        100Wh or about 26800mAh without airline approval. Anything up to 150Wh requires airline approval. Qantas/Jetstar can give you a permit valid up to a year and Virgin ask that you declare it at check in last time I checked.

        • Do they actually check the mAh of power banks at the airport? Seems impossible to identify especially if wear and tear sets in for some power banks?

          • +1

            @clubhonda: The only time I've had power banks checked was at Sydney Airport pre-COVID where they'd check to see the Wh. I haven't had issues anywhere in the last 2 years.

            Overseas is where you have to be more careful.

          • @clubhonda: I got my battery checked by security when leaving Queenstown in august this year

          • +1

            @clubhonda: Ive had mine and my dyson battery checked in Haneda when I was helping my sister move back to sydney from NYC, they definitely gave me a weird look for bringing a vacuum battery with me.

          • @clubhonda: In my experience, Domestic? Nah. International? Yes, a few times on my 26.8k batteries both in Australia and coming out of the states.

          • @clubhonda: I've flown heaps with my RAVpower 26800mAh bank, first time checked was recently coming back from Thailand.

        • Thanks guys. I wonder if check in staff know how to even calculate it

          • +4

            @dangerdanger: It's the security who may check it. The bottom of the power bank shows the total capacity in mAh and Wh with them checking the latter.

      • +17

        I've created a simple guide for battery packs on aircraft: https://besttraveltech.com/gear/flight-safe-power-banks/

        • +1

          Very helpful, thanks

        • Wh = Watt hours not Whatt hours. A simple spelling mistake.

          Otherwise it’s a great guide. Thanks.

          • +2

            @sween64: No worries :) Whenever I struggle to find the answers to something, I like to write up what I find.

            Thanks for pointing that out, I've fixed it. It looks like my brain joined two words together :')

          • @sween64: Ah, that's whatt I thought too

        • Great, thanks for compiling this, very helpful and informative. I noted the following sentence, in which I suspect you meant to use the word 'are', not the word 'at':

          'The vast majority of lithium-ion power banks at 3.7V.'

        Lithium ion batteries over 160Wh are forbidden as passenger baggage and must be sent as freight.

        This one is 9v x 60 amp = 540Wh.

        • Most personal powerbanks would be based on 3.8V Li-Ion cells. So it should be 3.8V x 60A = 228Wh, still above the limit like you said.

          • +1

            @Sleepycat3: Says 9v in the specs, maybe they're wrong

            Edit: ah i see what you mean it's probably using an array of small cells and the output converted to 9v on some of the port/s.

            60 x 3.7 or 3.8 then ~ 220+

        • I have this power bank . It's 222Wh

          It's 5V at 3A or 9v at 2A or 12V at 1.5A

      • When I was travelling through Bangkok, Thailand, the limit at the time was 20K

    • +1

      I think the last thing this would be designed for is taking it on an aircraft…from what I can work out, this thing is a brick! Weighing in around 1.3 to 1.5 kgs.

      • +4

        Agree. 20% of you allowable 7kg carry on weight GONE!

        • +2

          Keep it in your pants. It would be like you just had 4 beers before boarding.

          Is that a powerbank in your pocket or are you just happy to see OzB?

        • 7kg is such a joke amount of luggage to be permitted.

          • +2

            @Budju: I know right? Who wants to carry that much with them when travelling!?

            • @GregRust: Worth at least $100 more not to worry about getting stitchod by jetstar because you packed three t-shirts instead of two

      • +1

        Why not? Take it in your light aircraft for your camping trip.

    • thanks! was just about to ask about this one

  • -7

    Why dont they say Watt hours instead of some dodgy mAh ?

    • +10

      Most portable battery packs use mAh as the standard measurement don't they? Eg…10000, 20000 mAh etc?

      • interestingly, they are different types of measurements. Ah is a measurement of Coulombic charge, while Wh is a measurement of energy.

      • -1

        Correct, this is the most accurate

    • +3

      It's 222Wh.

      • Something does not add up, what is the output voltage for you to get 222Wh, if its 5V it would means this 44 ah battery not 60 ah. For getting 222 Wh the output voltage would be 3.7V

        • Never mind, just realized battery is rated at 3.7V

      • I highly doubt that.

        Ramos overstates their capacity or uses crap cells. My Ramos 20,000mAh bank is actually 12,000mAh at 3.7V.

        • +12

          That's not specific to Romoss. It's how power bank capacities are stated by brands/manufacturers. Power bank cells are 3.6V or 3.7V while the output is measured at 5V.

          So typically the conversion is 5V Capacity = 3.7V x 20000mAh / 5V = 14800mAh

          Now the other consideration is the power loss during charging. As 5V is converted to 3.7V and power transferred from battery to device. The conversion loss is typically 10-20% and that's dependent on the PCB board used.

          Part of the reason why some people say capacities should be measured in Wh instead of mAh.

          • @Clear: Yes, I understand that. They are rated at 3.7V, which is why I stated the capacity at 3.7V.

            The Ramos power bank above is 12,000mAh at 3.7V, 8,800mAh at 5V.

            Stated in Wh it should be 20.0A * 3.7V = 74Wh. It is actually 44Wh

            Ramos are not truthful on the specs. I doubt the buck converter is that inefficient.

            • +2

              @RedHab: How did you come to the conclusion that the 20000mAh cells are 12000mAh?

              • +1

                @Clear: There are YouTube videos on this pretty sure. As soon as I saw Romoss I thought aaah nope I remember seeing what they're all about. If interested give it a look on YouTube and you'll probably come across the same video myself and I think others in this thread have seen ✌

                • +1

                  @Grosser611: I'll have to check it out. I probably should remove my association too since I haven't worked with them in over a year.

              • @Clear: By running the output at 5V through an amp hour meter into a dummy load at a constant 0.4A

    • Wh will depend on output voltage, mah*V/1000, so if we assume it has const 5 volt out put it would be 300wH

      • +1

        IME (arguably limited) the Ah spec is for the battery itself, so for a device with an ~3V battery expect 3/5 of the Wh you might be hoping for.

        • aah.. i get it now. Battery is rated at 3.7v

    • mAh is the total capacity of the battery and is used on power banks as the same unit is used on phone spec sheets you can roughly calculate how many times you can charge the phone on your napkin.

      10k battery can charge your 3k phone from near empty to full approx 3 times, doesnt account for your phone being on and still draining the battery while it's charging though.

    • Bigger numbers sell more. They don't even want to use Ah, and instead stick to mAh.

      Which is better sounding? 228Wh, 60Ah or 60,000 mAh?

    • +1

      Not sure why people are downvoting you but you're 100% right.

      Watt hours should be the default unit because it actually measures energy not charge. The amount of energy per charge could technically be anything but most of the time it's 3.7V.

      But in the end, big numbers sell. Lol.

  • +1

    Could it be at the end of shelf life?

  • +1

    how long does it take to charge the power bank? probably overnight

    • +9

      apparently with a 9V 2A (18w) charger it will take 16 hours to fully charge

      • wow that's insane

      • +5

        Username checks out, this guy would know!

  • +1

    That’s a dumbbell

    • +3

      Does not require charging for this purpose.

      • But doesnt it get heavier when fully charged?

        /s

  • +3

    I'm curious about the need and purpose of this unit due to its weight. I have a smaller https://www.amazon.com.au/ROMOSS-30000mAh-Portable-Charging-… that I purchased for ~$28 pre Covid. Even that one is too heavy to carry around in your bag or backpack. I used it handful of times on camping/picnics leaving it in the car until necessary. Also it takes overnight to fully charge my 30000mAh unit - I guess it may be worse for this larger sibling.
    Unless this 60000mAH unit can charge laptops (which I doubt) more practical (and cheaper) solution is buying two or three 20000/30000mAH banks or a proper portable power station if you are going camping - I know, I know portable power stations are an order of magnitude pricier.

    • You make some good points. Portable power stations, especially reliable ones that don't fudge their specs, seem to be much pricier, as you say, but then they come with an actual AC port for charging low power devices and battery packs too. I'm not exactly what the purpose of this unit is either! Possibly for a bicep workout? It does not seem super practical for….kinda anything really? Maybe a long term power blackout, and therefore guilt free charging of family members phones? Just thought it might suit someone.

    • I have 2 of that 30000 mAh model. Took one to Europe this year and was fine in my backpack. It's not heavy at all!

      Also got this 60000 mAh but have yet to use it at a camp.

      Pity it isn't at its cheapest, which was $62.99.

      • 650g+ is heavy for a (30000mAh) power bank, no matter how you slice it.

        • Yup that's fair. It isn't a slim model but that's why the price reflects the weight. The 30,000mAh could be had as cheap as $32.99.

          Regarding your earlier claim, 650gm isn't too heavy to carry around in a bag/backpack.

    • +1

      For me,
      This would be used exclusively in the car to power lighting and recharging USB devices.
      Hidden away and permanently wired.

      • +1

        Can you elaborate a little? I like this idea!

        • +1

          No problem

          I have a 12V 65w QC3.0 USB charger like you plug into the accessory socket behind the dash with the output cables running into the glovebox right now.

          I would plug the 60000mah brick into that and then have the output cables from that running into the glovebox. USB C USB A (female)

          My cars interior has USB powered strip lights, powered from a USB socket (also behind interior panels) which is powered and switched by the 12v interior light circuit. I would add this to the 60000mah brick output.

          I would use this to charge my portable speakers, torches, phone, tablet and secondary lighting.

  • +1

    I have rossmore 30000mah and checked every time qantas and that’s the limit.

    • +1

      Same here.

  • +3

    Shame it can't do proper 35W PD for my laptop.

    • +3

      35W. My 20k MaH power delivery powerbank does 65W PD. I was expecting this at least for something this big.

      • +2

        Only charges at 18W as well, not a great buy imo

      • was scrolling the comments to find something like this before I posted myself. should definitely support 65W at this size! but for <$100, can you really complain?

  • +2

    I guess the only thing we could ask for now is faster charging, but not at this price I suppose. 45W or 65W PD would be perfect, or pay extra for a 100W model👌

    • Yep, I second this.

    • yep if it had at least a 65w PD capability, i'd be buying it instantly, alas, it doesn't so no buy.

    Who still uses an Iphone 8 these days?

    • +1

      iPhone 8 can run iOS16, right?

      • +2

        I have an iPhone8 company phone on iOS16. Won't see a new one while this one works.

    Holy f 60000mAh???

  • +3

    Don't buy a Romoss. Mine barely lasted a year and they don't respond to customers.

    • +1

      I have 3 Romoss batteries and it's working great, no issues so far.

    • +1

      I've got a few Romoss, all working. Zero experience with their customer service as a result:

      Romoss 7800mAh Sailing3 June 2018 (light duty)
      ROMOSS 10000mAh PSP10 Oct 2020 (heavy duty)
      ROMOSS 26800mAh SW30+ Oct 2020 (mine, heavy use while traveling, tops up Dell 7480)
      ROMOSS 20000mAh Power Bank, Sense 6 Plus Nov 2021 (heavy use)
      ROMOSS Slim Power Bank 10000mAh Dec 2021 (light use)

      • +1

        Just wait till one fails and you try to contact them and they never respond.

  • +1

    Should only take like a day to charge the thing…

  • This will work great as a counter mass for the Oculus / Meta Quest 2 - given how front heavy it is with the built-in strap. Only question is how to secure it properly.

    • At 900g, no. Optimal weight is about 200g, iirc.

      • True, 900g probably too heavy - but i reckon we need something like 500g, given the headset itself is around that. (if you are just using the standard strap)

  • -1

    I have this model and only just last week the Melbourne domestic security took it away questioning the capacity - between three of them they couldn't calculate the math so let me through with it with a warning - I'm taking a smaller one next time - but technically is fine, just may get another pretentious security guy again…

    • +6

      um… it's beyond what is legally allowed to be flown with. you're lucky you got through with it.

      • My bad, I've got the 40,000 version "Zues"

        • +3

          40000mah powerbanks are very close to 150Wh and would require declarations or permits with all domestic airlines that permit them. They're not something you can just assume is okay for flights, many international airports would not be as generous

  • Would this thing charge an MacBook M1/M2 MacBook Air/Pro?

    • +1

      It may charge slowly if you are not using the MacBook at all while plugged into the powerbank but if you start using it then it may not really charge the MacBook at all, or the MacBook may start losing charge if you're pushing it (video editing, etc.)

  • I’ve only had 2 Romoss power banks, and both shit the bed in under 3 months. Never again

    • +2

      Seems like a classic YMMV scenario.

      My two Romoss power banks - 20,000mAh and 26,800mAh - are both approaching their fifth birthday (purchased prior to travelling in December 2017) and still going strong - although I haven't tested maximum capacity.

      • +2

        Definitely ymmv but maybe they don't make them like they used to. Mine were bought this year.
