Were these 2/$10 I’d be in…but who needs 4 of these suckers? Besides, Amazon reviews indicate the internal battery fails to recharge after about 6 months of use. I suppose at $5 a pop, that’s what can be expected, and why they’re selling them as a 4 pack…
I assume the reason for the design is it looks better than just plain rubber, plus, the design makes it easier to determine which side the plug-ins are on with less time.
@redwingleader with a USB A to C cable - yes. But the speeds will be too slow to play while charging. Essentially you will want a USB-C PD power bank. One that supports profiles up to 15V and 3A. Anker makes one with endorsement from Nintendo RavPower makes one - cheaper - no endorsement.
@mike808-So, they look like chocolate (waffer) ice cream sanwiches to you too?? Huh, Huh, do they, huh? Tell me I’m not the only dam Fool that thinks that,…or pity the fool?¿
Ever have the IPad that runs your mixer mysteriously drain itself and turn out to be flatlined 15 minutes before a gig is scheduled to start? I have. But now, thanks to Meh and their crazy-ass deals, NEVER AGAIN!!! Mwhahahahaaaaaaa!!! I’m gonna charge these bad boys and keep one in every packing case
@Boffo at first I read “mixer” and thought you meant a Kitchen Aid. I was so confused. Then I read on and realized you meant something not having to do with cooking or baking. So I got less confused but lost interest. I have problems.

@Funkthulhu @mehgrl Duct tape.

@mehgrl @thekenya
USB cables
@mehgrl @thekenya Velcro!
I… DON’T… NEED… ANOTHER… aw hell, who am I fooling. In for four. (I have a serious problem)
@mothmer This made me laugh. I am in the same boat. Thinking about buying these too.
Wow. They look pretty thick (especially when you consider that you could get thinner power banks which have a higher capacity).
Shoe-phone charger?
/giphy shoe phone
@squishybrain Hello chief?
@squishybrain
Hang on chief, I need to tie into my other shoe.
@squishybrain-P Diddy!! Yea!! aka, Puff Ducky!! Yea, I said it!!
I think I would like these better right now.
@heartny that’s what I thought they were at first. No wonder I’ve been craving them all day long.
/giphy yummers
/giphy get smart shoe phone
Thought it said speaker power bank.
/giphy disappointed
@RiotDemon I thought so too

Are these supposed to give me energy to run?
/giphy that’s weird
That’s a good $/mAh on these.
/giphy holographic-sausage-jubilee
@tizio Did you get Ribbed or Regular?
I assume the reason for the design is it looks better than just plain rubber, plus, the design makes it easier to determine which side the plug-ins are on with less time.
$340 list? Seriously?
@katbyter ever shopped for designer shoes?
@katbyter I guess you never watched the early years of Wheel of Fortune, with the 2000 dollar ceramic dog
Amazon reviews are all from 2015.
That means something, probably that it’s meh at best.
Still bought them cause I have a problem and meh takes advantage of us sick people.
@username-Yea, I’m buying stuff cause this month I’m a $4.99 member, so I gotta get my monies’ worth!!
I like to carry power banks with me and just give them to people whose phones are dying. Makes me look like a hero for about 5 seconds.
@davidwr99- Sorry, 99, but it takes just a wee bit more ass to be a Hero!! LOL!!
I’m gonna cash in my dumb question card:
Can it charge a Nintendo Switch?
@redwingleader you probably want one that has usb-c charge output for that
@medz @redwingleader
And probably one which is type-c to type-c, as they have better speeds.
@redwingleader- Yes, We Can!! Okay, is the election over?? I have Total Recall, I just can’t remember nothing!!
@redwingleader with a USB A to C cable - yes. But the speeds will be too slow to play while charging. Essentially you will want a USB-C PD power bank. One that supports profiles up to 15V and 3A.
Anker makes one with endorsement from Nintendo
RavPower makes one - cheaper - no endorsement.
Faithful power cart
Interesting order I should think.
Goat Shoes!
If they were a 2A input, it would be an easy yes. Or if they charged by walking on them. So close.
@mehcuda67-yet,“So Far Away,” does anybody really care anymore, etc…& so forth!!
These will stack nicely in the refrigerator.
@mike808 … Maybe so but try not to get the internal wiring stuck between your teeth while munching, their very difficult to pick out.
Where’s @shahnm ?
@mike808-So, they look like chocolate (waffer) ice cream sanwiches to you too?? Huh, Huh, do they, huh? Tell me I’m not the only dam Fool that thinks that,…or pity the fool?¿
@mike808 Away… I’ll be back in a week or so. This is all @UncleVinny’s fault.
My meh button streak is all shot to hell now too.
Damn that UncleVinny…
Nah!
My battery low light just came on… Must be a sign.
@Rgoomeh- Yes, it’s what the low battery light is for;it’s the sign that shows you your Battery IS LOW!!¡
/giphy occasional-soft-mongoose
@PhysAssist- Screw Kitty!!
@decoratedwarvet Sorry, not my type…, but have at it.
I still think they look like those chocolate waffler ice cream samages I’ve been eatin all damned Week!! Maybe, it’s a sign¿??
@decoratedwarvet forbidden ice cream sammich
The battery charger with a soul… it’s a hard no
@gatesboy23
/image soul vs sole
@narfcake yeah i understand but if i had said sole you’d still have left your stupid snarky comment
@gatesboy23 Nah. OTOH, a charger for a Soul would’ve been snarkier:
/image Kia Soul EV charger.
I wonder if it would be worth cracking these open for the Li-ion batteries inside.
@Keebemon I was wondering if it would be possible to crack them open and replace the most-likely-dying-by-now LiPo with some badass 18650 LiIons.
I might be interested if it was TWO 18mAh power banks for $20. Isn’t it “Two-for-Tuesday”? This deal should be on “Four-for-Friday”.
@mrdancer Buy this and throw two away.
Seems like I never have enough of these. My children like to adopt them.
/giphy assorted-lonely-moth
I thought you were selling smores.

@Boffo
@Boffo @jitc Totally did the same thing. That’d be cool, right?
Alternative uses; doubles as a great substitute for ninja throwing stars, or bricks. I use them to drop from tall buildings.
I wonder if these can charge while delivering power. If so they might be a decent UPS for a Raspberry Pi.
Daisy Chain?
To keep them charged - can you daisy chain them so they only use one port on the usb charger?
Alternatively can you daisy chain them to keep devices charged for 3-4x longer than just one powerbank by itself?
I don’t know why I feel the need to buy every cheap battery…
/giphy regular-kind-furniture
/giphy renewed-treacherous-vase
Why are these so cheap? Is there something you’re not telling us??
@pixelated they charge slow(1A/5v if the packaging is accurate)
some of the reviews are bad on amazon
and the reviews being 2 years old might mean that these are OLD OLD OLD batteries with questionable reliability
@communist Yikes!
/giphy hapless-thrilling-mollusk
@raccoon81 That was thrilling!
I bought two sets. Is there Power bank Purchasers Anonymous
I pulled the trigger. For $20 - oh well…
/giphy abhorrent-glassy-coconut
@hey_zeus Yeah!!! Old surfer dudes never die. They just go to surf heaven!
So the batteries may be a bit dated. So the charging may be slow. So … wait, what did I just buy?
is this still processing?
@username Possibly.
Did anyone get the "combo cables " ?
@deenK If you’re talking about this cable, then yes:
All of mine seemed to include it.
(This will probably get buried below all the Fuko posts, so hopefully you still see it)
Okay… So I have two left. The other two are dead. Lasted all of 6 months or so?
