Hahahaha, you have got to be kidding, right, Meh? These are close to the crappiest power banks that are still being sold, by anyone, anywhere! And all the others on here expressing the same thought, i.e. these are worth less than half the price you’ve put on them, are being generous to you. This is a crap product at a crappy price, not even up to “Meh” standards. Blergh.
On Amazon these are almost 80 bucks but notice only five left in stock I guess because they’re selling so well "NOT"or somebody just threw them on there at an over-inflated price to boost the comparison price call this a conspiracy theory of maga mah proportions
@lawpugh I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IN THE FORUM IS THAT THESE ARE NOT REALLY A GOOD DEAL , SORRY BUT MAYBE YOU CAN DO BETTER ELSEWHERE …
USB C and lightning built in is GREAT! 3000mAh is super meh and not worth the space it occupies… with voltage conversion losses and charging losses, even if the capacity is truthfully stated (most aren’t) it won’t even be able to charge up a modern phone from empty.
won’t even charge my phone once, and that’s before the battery degrades even at all. if you handed this to me for free i’d probably throw it in the trash.
I’d really like to buy these but, I’ll have to pass because, like many such power banks, the plug appears to be poorly designed such that it’s too short or too chunky to connect when the phone is in a case (even a thin one).
3000 mAh might be almost enough to nearly charge a phone, once. Got a couple of those (~3k mAh) that look like USB memory sticks for emergencies, and a 12k mAh unit the size of a small phone for normal use. It will charge my phone 3x, and a 10.5" S4 tablet 2x. The pair on sale here are anemic.
Meh you are getting better. You’ve got the right shape connector, at least for charging. Now get some that also say “PD” and that can handle more watts. 18 or more watts would be useful to me.
I still have a 10,000 mAh power bank I bought 5 years ago for much less than this. Still working fine. I needed proof that this is on Amazon for $35. I, literally, thought about if it was April’s 1st. Huh, turns out 3000 mAH power banks still sell for more than $6. Learn something new everyday.
@goldnectar built in cables count for something & 3000mAh should be a fair bit lighter then 12000 so better for heading out with a low charge phone and a battery for the afternoon/day. Not nearly as good to go camping for a long weekend though.
sad to say i bought this. would have been useful for its intended purpose (backstop for a trip abroad with iPhone using GF), but neither of the units worked. the black one was a complete dud, wouldn’t turn on or take a charge out of the package, pink one charged once, then let me down in the airport in atlanta, actually started draining my phone. guess i’m lucky they didn’t actually set my luggage on fire, but geez, meh.

Do these work with Macs?
@yakkoTDI how do you mean? you can’t power a mac with this
@yakkoTDI these don’t like that they support USB-PD, (power delivery) which a laptop would require.
I just bout the Tzumi 12,000mah for 9 bucks from you so how does this deal make any sense ?
@mellowirishgent This deal is for people who want twice the number of units for somewhat less power, at twice the cost of one of your units.
@shahnm Half the power@double the price is not “Some What”
@mellowirishgent where? I want in! They are $20 - $30 everywhere I see. Used ones are $15 on eBay.
@Commonwealth109 @mellowirishgent
@mellowirishgent @sammydog01 oh, not current, I missed that one.
I’m glad to see that Irk recovered from his weird cracked-face-with-copious-eye-shadow issues…
If I’m doing the math right, each of these has just a little more battery than an iPhone 7 Plus - so don’t look to power something hungry.
listen -i’ll give ya 8 bucks for ‘em.
@thechinglish 8 bucks is too much for these crap
I am far, far from whelmed with this deal.
@therealjrn over or under?
@robson I’d have to have at least one whelm to give, and I have none for this deal.
iWalk away…
If you are not familiar with fakespot, here’s the results of the amazon ratings for this item (spoiler… “F” for a grade)

A single unit that had 6,000 mAh for $9 seems like a better deal.

@cbl_wv Blergh, Indeed!
@cbl_wv looks like they’ll soon be consigned to the sister sites, possibly followed by the IRK disposal option
I like the idea of the integrated plug, but they are awkward and don’t fit many devices / cases.
USB-C and Lightning cables. Either Meh has come into the 2010’s or the we have fallen into the Multi-Verse. Thanos? No, never heard of that.
@hchavers it’s not micro-USB. That’s something.

IS THIS COMPATIBLE WITH THE I-PHONE 6 , 6-PLUS OR 6-S ???
@lawpugh THESE HAVE A LIGHTNING AND A USB-C CONNECTOR. WHAT KIND OF CONNECTOR DOES THE I-PHONE 6 , 6-PLUS OR 6-S USE ???
@lawpugh I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IN THE FORUM IS THAT THESE ARE NOT REALLY A GOOD DEAL , SORRY BUT MAYBE YOU CAN DO BETTER ELSEWHERE …
@lawpugh there is no shortage of power bank deals, just wait a week or so. This is a VERY BAD DEAL
@lawpugh I APPRECIATE ALL THE FEEDBACK !
@lawpugh YOU ’ RE VERY WELCOME . I HOPE YOU GET YOUR HEARING AIDS FIXED SOON !!!
But will it fast charge over that USB-C?
I need a super-meh button, please.
USB C and lightning built in is GREAT! 3000mAh is super meh and not worth the space it occupies… with voltage conversion losses and charging losses, even if the capacity is truthfully stated (most aren’t) it won’t even be able to charge up a modern phone from empty.

meh
I found these sitting on the kitchen table today. I didn’t put them there. Stop making me buy power banks Meh!
@sammydog01
Yep. We already have power banks growing out other power banks. Clearly they’re reproducing on their own.
We wouldn’t be foolish enough to buy more of what we don’t need!
@sammydog01 the energizer is a great brick. Kept my phone going for a week of summer camp.
@katbyter @sammydog01
I have that Energizer Brick I got on Woot sons ago—
It really does keep l…(u know the rest)
who is in charge here???
I am putting my chargers away with my walkmans
Meh.

How many power banks does one really need?
@AmazingChicken all of them?

They have the 10000mAh ones for $36 on amazon. 3000 is garbage.
@cmostrowski $18 for ours is 333mAh per dollar. 10,000mah for $36 is 277mAh per dollar. Does your example have integrated cables?
@cmostrowski @troy Bam!
Has the same connected cables and will charge my phone completely.
How many mehdiots bought this shameful here.
@sippinndippin uhhh, it’s right there on the front page mehstein.

We are very happy with the chargers! They work great and fit into my coat pocket and my wife’s purse.
