I bought these last time they were up. They’re kinda… not good. For my phone at least, they only charge for about 10 minutes at a time, so you have to keep turning the battery pack back on, which means they’re worthless if you have a job which makes you leave your phone in a locker during your shift
Reviews on Amazon say the built in cords have a thick plastic portion around the plug which kept them from working with many popular phone cases. Just something to think about depending on your phone case.
When these were up I bought them and so far have been pretty great. It’s not a lot but it’s small. I like having the built in cable and they are cheap. One of them squeeks which is my complaint. Probably will toss that one.
ok, can someone explain what these are to me. Are they power banks that only charge for a few minutes or something? And 2 are the android phone types and only one works with my iPhone? Am I understanding?
I bought a stack last time, and although they don’t hold much, they deliver that charge as fast as the wall charger. When my S5 is about out, one of these skinny little power banks brings it to 60%. Two of them will bring it to full charge in about 30 minutes. And they have a tiny flashlight built in. I’m glad I bought them.
Bought a bunch last time…both lightning and micro. They take up no space and are great for travel. Give them away as gifts. People love them. Have a larger version from the same company that I keep in my luggage.
Congratulations Meh, you’ve just sold me 3 more power banks. I’ve got about 20 now and I can’t remember the last time I used one. But hey, I’m covered if something happens I guess…
Gave out a bunch of ones last time and keep two at my desk. They use up the small capacity pretty fast but it’s nice to just stack them back on top when charging.
I got the 10 stack last time in MicroUSB because I have lightning and micro devices so itll be nice to have 1 lightning so I dont have to carry an adapter. Theyre not bad especially if you just need a little boost while you head out of the house at night. V thin so its easy to just plop into your pocket
Why am I so surprised these things sold out? They are cheap and crappy…usually this is exactly why I buy stuff on Meh…but today, it just wasn’t my pile of poo…
I put all six that I bought into a single stack and measured the charging current. It was 1.0 amps while several were charging and dropped to cycling between 45 and 70 milliamps shortly after the blinking stopped. This is characteristic of some lithium battery chargers when they are at the tail end of the constant voltage part of the charging curve.
Eventually it became a steady 45milliamps. This is probably just the load from the LEDs. My set includes 3 with comparatively bright LEDs and 3 with dim LEDs. A single dim LED model draws 4 milliamps, while a bright one draws 12 milliamps.
3 out of 4 of my MicroUSB chargers have the annoying LEDs that are too bright for a bedroom.

@ishoppe247 Wow, these are selling fast and we’re busy processing other orders. Try again in a little bit.
Are these the same ones everybody hated?
@sammydog01 Pretty much. https://meh.com/forum/topics/10-pack-enerplex-stackable-power-banks-micro-usb-or-lightning
$1 per 1000mAh this is not
@thechinglish but stackable with integrated cables this is
Needs more outputs or usbc.
#planned obsolescence
This is Meh. It’s where obsolescence goes to die.

@legnip
This is not a bad price for the batteries.

@craigthom It worked! Your order number is: sparkling-dastardly-oven

@craigthom @mediocrebot Insert requisite “I’d like to put a…”

1A output is bad enough, but .5A-1A input?
Are stackable paperweights really that popular?
Strangely, Mel.com is just a page that says…
Great use of a three-letter domain.

@stinks looks like the favicon says golf express?
1000mah and 1amp? Seriously? What’s the point?
Weak and a waste of money. The average phone can gain a single full charge on a 4000mAh power bank so even 3 won’t cut it.
I like this. Two things I can use. One thing I can throw away.
@Willijs3 or stack the one you can’t use with one of the ones you can.
1amp output!!!
I am just insulted!
I have had it with meh.com!
This Meh. It tries to insult people.
ok, can someone explain what these are to me. Are they power banks that only charge for a few minutes or something? And 2 are the android phone types and only one works with my iPhone? Am I understanding?

@moonhat @Seeds Give a hoot!
Hey, thanks for putting together a lightning and micro USB set!
@djslack I would have preferred a choice.
I would’ve bought two.

Surely in the write-up, they meant to spell it “mehmbership?”
$10 for 3 sure why not !

Meh. Need Usb-c
My hair looks nice? I just woke up, and it’s doing a mohawk impression.
How am I supposed to believe anything else you wrote?

@fretpound you’re only covered if they’re charged!

Did I want one of these?

Kind of annoyed. 2/3 of these things work. One does not. The one that doesn’t is lightning, which is the one I was actually interested in.
Also, in case anyone was wondering, the microUSB connectors do NOT work to charge a Dualshock4.
2 out of 3 worked. One micro didnt work. I was bummed!
