I've traveled with a 30000mah cygnet power bank many times on planes and have never been asked once about it. I only found out about this after reading your comment.
I took this exact one to China on a trip. 30,000 version. Planes didn't seem to care. They wouldn't let me on the bullet train with it on the return trip however. (Didn't care on the first trip haha) They offered to post it back.
It's decent for a cheap power brick, but the 30k is a bit big and heavy for travelling really outside of road trips.
If I was to buy again I'd go 20k but pay extra for a more modern one with multiple USB C and at least 65w for laptop compatibility.
You've been lucky then. I've travelled with friends who had their 30k bank inspected and they had to fill out a form, but was okay. I've had my 16k mah unit looked at (since its an older and physically larger one, and the mAh is really faded), but once security saw it was under, it was fine.
Like I said, up to 160Wh is allowed, so it's a matter of how the airline wants to handle the 100-160Wh range. However, I prefer to not dick about and just get a 20k-26k mAh unit.
If I buy the 15W, does that mean I won't get fast charge such as PD or QC? 15W vs 20W means charge time only?
Does this come with an AUS plug or US?
It comes with a micro universal serial bus cable…..
Damn bought the 20W 10000 and 20000 ones for $22.94 & $27.19 back in 11/21
15W one is 5V only
20W one outputs up to 12V:
Type-C Output: 5V/3A, 9V/2.22A, 12V/1.5A
USB1/USB2 Output: 5V/3A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A
at 5V, they are exactly the same (15W).
A reminder: you can take up to 100Wh on a plane without question. Between 100Wh and 160Wh and you have to ask the airline first.
3.7v x 27,000mah = 99.9Wh
That is, the 30,000mah battery could be annoying to try and fly with.
