    There is a shipping fee on CableGeek official website for orders under $100. It could be cheaper if you purchase other products in the same order but we are posting a standalone deal on this item, and the eBay price is a bit better including delivery.

        There are bulk savings on eBay as well. If you buy 2, the price drops to $22.46 each with free shipping. You can buy 4 or more for $19.96 each, so the break-even is 6 units :-)

    it doesn't even matter how old this was anymore, this thing shares 3A across all of its ports, it doesn't support any new charging protocol, AND it's using MicroUSB port..

      I assume this is way better for the price then https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/313728765341

      Edit: nvm, they lured me in with the price, but the dropdown makes it more expensive

        the Baseus 10000mah one is $33 which is ballpark 8 dollars more, which offers you PD charge(20w), TypeC, and a power indicator. Tough I personally won't get baseus myself anymore because I bought a magsafe one from them and it failed over a month.

      And all those things don't matter for my use case, and the age of the battery is significantly more important to me.

        it's at least almost as old as when MicroUSB starting to get phased out.

    "fastest possible charge speed up to 3 amps", I'm guessing about 5-6 years ?

  I tested these a long time ago, it felt quite dated at the time back then… I imagine it's even more so now.

  The circuit topology was extremely basic and fairly old, but still decent. Because of its low output it's able to get away with that. Nothing worrying or egregious so it isn't going to melt nor was there anything I'd be concerned about.

  It's important to know what you can and cannot do with these and specifically WHAT it is and what you should know.

  • You will not be able to charge any newer USB-C devices that use modern PD/QC at a reasonable speed. Anything in the last 5 years will use charging greater than 10w, and will require PD or QC to charge at the speeds you're used to. That's not to say you cannot charge modern devices, but you will be charging them extremely slowly and inefficiently.
  • You are limited to max 5v 2.4A through a port and 5v 3A total through all the ports. This isn't enough to charge any modern device simultaneously without also draining both device and bank batteries. You may need to ensure you don't use your phone while it's charging..
  • In most newer phones, reverting back to 5v 2.4A charging will also generate a bit of heat, it's not an efficient way of charging as modern pd/qc work modulate the power levels during a charge cycle and do a lot of things in the background to charge a phone quickly and efficiently while generating as little waste and therefore heat which contribute to battery degradation.
  • This unit will take anywhere between 6-8 hours to charge. It uses an old micro USB port so if you don't have those around as many people have migrated entirely if not mostly to usb C by now, you'll need to dig one up.

  Theres a bit of middle ground that needs to be balanced when it comes to recommending products like this for me. On one hand I think it's good to reduce e-waste by buying and using these because units like these are end of life, at the end of the day the units not sold aren't going to be scrapped for parts or properly recycled most of the time (as they use generic cheap lipo instead of more valuable 18650 or bigger cells) but instead be processed as garbage or ewaste that ends up in landfill. But on the other hand by buying these you are contributing to e-waste by buying subpar and dated tech that you and most people likely will not use and will replace with other units that can do everything in a better, nicer, smaller and more efficient package and these will end up either unused or as waste sooner rather than later.

  Despite being old and limited in usage, these still have life to them. They have applications such as charging or powering older low power devices that need a basic usb output for power like IoT that need backup power, Hobby Electronics, Kindles, Wireless Earphones, any old battery powered portable appliances like fans, led lights and other low power usb gadgets.

  So these may not be for you, or they may be.
