Heavier than the one I was using. Not sure if it’s carry about in the jeans pocket weight. But ideal for rucksacks on trips. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691206&v=e car4play691197 Sat, 15 Aug 2026 10:14:23 +0100 ah - comes off at checkout - cheers http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691197&v=e car4play691196 Sat, 15 Aug 2026 10:12:12 +0100 ah - £22 for me http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691196&v=e car4play691195 Sat, 15 Aug 2026 10:10:17 +0100 >> Pepsi was cheap though :-) That reminds me, what happened to BBD? http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691195&v=e car4play691194 Sat, 15 Aug 2026 10:09:43 +0100 >> Not sure how one full battery charges an empty one beyond a balance point when >> they charge each other ? ooo Let me think, perhaps thats why they invented the charge control chip? http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691194&v=e car4play691193 Sat, 15 Aug 2026 10:05:49 +0100 Oops try this one https://tinyurl.com/yawe5fa2 Pepsi was cheap though :-) http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691193&v=e car4play691192 Sat, 15 Aug 2026 10:03:34 +0100 >>Not sure how one full battery charges an empty one beyond a balance point when they charge each other ?

I have two and they are very good, charge really quickly.

Found my Belkin power bank ominously swollen after using it to charge my phone last week. It’s now residing in a bucket of sand in the garden until I can dispose of it safely http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691182&v=e car4play691180 Fri, 14 Aug 2026 19:43:43 +0100 The rating for the powerpack is probably a lie, and its also not all useable. There is also losses in the charging process, ie heat. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691180&v=e car4play691175 Fri, 14 Aug 2026 10:28:12 +0100 mmm might try that - or try leaving it on it overnight and see what charge it gets to if I leave it all night http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691175&v=e car4play691172 Fri, 14 Aug 2026 10:03:13 +0100 Power banks do lose some efficiency so only expect about 80% from it but it does seem you aren't getting even that. Tried it on different phone? http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691172&v=e car4play691158 Fri, 14 Aug 2026 08:36:50 +0100 I have an iphone 15pro max - according to spec the battery is 4422mAh I have a powerpack that is 5000mAh - so theoretically it should fully charge it again But a fully charged powerpack only ever puts about 40-45% into the battery and then the powerpack is down to one LED. Does this just mean powerpack is goosed? Its one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charmast-5000mAh-Battery-Portable-Compatible/dp/B0B18BCNH4 http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=691158&v=e
