    Good deal, wish it was 65W for the Surface Pro.

    • Is 65w best versatility?

      • +1

        Besides the Surface Pro I found some other laptops, the min was around 65W to get it charging through USB-C (not counting other requirements like PD etc)

        Although I am not aware if there are any downsides if you go higher like 100-120W, which would mean those are the most versatile if you ever need that power.

        • I'm new to this laptop charging and PD stuff dunno what's the differnece
          Still learnin

    • +6

      65W currently $57 with code from Baseus. It has been cheaper, I got at $53. Nice battery pack.

      I got this to charge my surface pro 5.

        considering this too… over the xiaomi powerbank.

        both seem pretty solid from reviews

      • Is that percentage remaining display always on? If so, i Wonder if that would drain battery especially if long time between uses

        • +2

          It is on during charging, yes. But I think you'll find it uses next to no charge. It is fairly dim, and the battery capacity is massive. Also it is a highly helpful display, because it can also be toggled to indicate the speed of charge and voltage being administered to the device, and vice versa. I love the display. Knowing exactly how many % you have left at the press of a button is just great.

    Can a 50W max output charger like this still charge a 65W device like a Surface Pro 8? eg does it charge, but just slower? Far too slowly? Or does it not charge it at all?

    • +4

      I know for Lenovo the standard charger is 65w but 45W can also charge it slowly not sure about Surface Pro

      • +1

        I think for Lenovo (after researching 6 months ago), forums indicate it needs to be 20V to charge. So the watts aren't that important, other than being faster.

    • +8

      Generally speaking yes. Works fine for my Lenovo which normally uses a 65W. Warns me of a low output charger being connected.

      I even sometimes at my desk use a 35W charger that came with an old phone. That maintains the charge at 100% unless I'm doing heavy workloads or gaming, at which point it will decline slowly.

      • +3

        Thanks, very useful to hear a real life experience

    • Wonder if this has any negative effects on the longevity of either the power bank or the laptop.

      • Charging more slowly would be a good thing for the laptop. Using the portable battery constantly would degrade it over time particularly at max capacity as there is more heat generated, but that's what it's for.

    • +4

      I've used this with a Surface Pro 8 and a 7+ to charge without issue. It will be slower than AC but still very helpful.

      Refer my above comment.

  • Thanks OP, was about to buy something on Amazon for a similar price but had much lower output.

    • The imuto. It can be fully recharged in one hour

    • The imuto looks heaps better, I think I have to buy one now.

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/313709345779

    Isn't this better? 100W and with JULY promo for eBay plus, it's 78

    • Might be worth $20 more for some people. I'll get something else because that doesn't work properly at 100w

      • +2

        That YouTube review is of the new HD model, which is about 25% smaller in volume than the model linked on eBay.

        The original larger one may still have a similar issue, but perhaps not if it the extra space gives better thermals. I have one, but have not run it at a sustained 100W output. I have a load tester though, and I am curious, so will give it a try.

        Keep in mind that other power banks may also have the same issue under sustained max load. Not many reviewers test that.

        • +2

          Ah, my bad. Here's the older model review.
          Thin li-po packs would be convenient for laptops.

          Different purpose, I need sustained 100w output with heavy duty cycles for my Bluetti, so the premium for a ZMI no.20 has been worth it.

    • This is slowly getting jacked now. It's up to 95.99 (81.59 after JULYY15)

    • Clicked on this deal and left with Baesus. Let’s see

    will be good if it has a digital display as well.

    How long these Xiaomi power bank last? Bought two Xiaomi from Kogan couple of years ago, one is a brick now, batteries expended like a balloon.

    • The legendary spicy pillow!

    • +1

      I have one thats a couple of years old now which I use every time I travel. It's still great. Your mileage may always vary with lithium batteries

      • +1

        I have bought more than 10 various types of Xiaomi power banks over the last 8 years or so,

        and none have stopped working or swollen up. I don't use them often though, and look after them.

    Can someone explain how mAh works.

    On the website it states
    3.8charges - iPhone 12 (~2800mAh)
    1.9charges - Mi 11 (~4600mAh)
    2.3charges - Nintendo Switch (~4300mAh)

    If this battery is 20,000 mAh, me not knowing physics I would straight divide 20,000 by the battery size of the devices?

    Hence iPhone 12
    20,000/2800 = 7.14, approximately 7 times you could charge it.
    How come its 3.8 charges on the website?

    • +2

      The power bank cells are typically rated at 3.7V while USB is 5V. The basic formula is as follows:

      3.7V x 20000mAh / 5V = 14800mAh

      To further complicate it this number can change if the voltage is higher due to PD charging and there's also the power bank efficiency which will result in some loss.

      • Ah, yep I assumed there would be losses or something but the voltage difference makes a ton of sense.

        Cheers!

        • The iPhone 12 2800 mAh capacity is at 3.7V, the same as the battery banks 20,000 mAh. So you are correct with your 7.14 times math.

          But the battery bank steps the voltage up to 5V (or higher - 9V for the iPhone 12), then the iPhone steps the voltage back down to the ideal charge voltage.

          This process is not 100% efficient, so a significant portion of the power is lost as heat. The cables, connectors etc all also have some resistance, and turn a bit of the power into heat.

          Then actually charging a battery takes more power than the rated capacity, as some is lost in the process.

          The result is you get fewer charges than expected. In my experience, many power bank manufacturers tend to give the worst case scenario, so in actual use you get better overall efficiency and more charges.

    is there anything that can charge an iphone, apple watch and macbook air at the same time? on a plane

    preferrably usb c x 3

    • +1

      This one will be 2x USB-C and USB-A.

      Type C 1 + Type C2 Output: 65W + 30W
      Type C 1 + Type C2 + USB Output: 45W + 30W + 18W

      • what a beast. ordered
        thank you Clear. helpful as always!

  • The Romoss ones from Amazon are good.
    PD, USB C two way:)

  • This power bank is excellent I have have bought 3 over the last 5 years. All still work great

    • I’m also collecting them. Had 4, down to 3 now.
      One was about 3 or 4 years old I’d say, and i’m not sure if thats the one that failed or if it was one of the newer ones. Held a charge but stopped charging devices after a few seconds.

      • Hmm I just got mine and I charged it up fully. Plugged into phone via USB C cable. Says is charging then disconnects after about 30 seconds :(

        • Ive got two and the both stop charging low power devices after about 12 seconds. Can not get them to go into low power mode.
