1x USB to Micro USB cable

I loved Powermat, but um, yeah, Qi is the standard for wireless charging. Even though Powermat did it better with the little magnets to line up the coils. And I still have all those power mats...
I really need some bluetooth speakers. Like every time I have seen them on here I've been like "Who the f buys bluetooth speakers?" But I just got a new computer and it doesn't have an audio jack and I need to use bluetooth speakers. But if I go buy some, meh will have them in a 12 pack the next day, guaranteed.
@communist Even the 2015 MacBook still has an audio jack. It's on the right side. You're thinking the USB-C plug on the left that replaced everything else.
@HELLOALICE Oh, did I get beat. I ran down the rabbit hole of "Psst... if you compared the prices you'd call the price here a Road Trip." a highjacking. road apples. something hip and slangy. my face, meet egg.
How totally crass.. After buying shitloads of your alternates, you tell us, "It makes all the other power banks we've sold look like junk."..? Here's a banana for your wisdom:
Can I trade in the crappy ones for this one ? I still haven't opened the box. I was too bummed after reading what was happening w others who bought them.
@ceagee I was afraid too but I opened mine and it works fine. I've chraged my phone from 40% twice on one charge so far and the third light is still lit.
So I got this, charged the big one, plugged the cable/adapter into my iPad2 and nothing happened..no charging lightning thing showed up on the iPad. wtf?
I tested these and from dead to fully charged my fancy pants $2 meter said 1900mah and 8750mah, respectively. They are really close to advertised capacity and work really well. I am happy.
The problem with my numerous power banks (all Meh purchased) is that they are never charged when I need them. I bought the power mat to go with these so I always have a backup. Nice!
I loved the smaller pack since the cable came with but eventually the capacity withered. It will still charge over half my phone after using for 2+ years and the big one is still, my tank. It’s immeasurably more useful than other banks with the power mat keeping them charged. Still a solid purchase in my book.

Two peanuts were walking down the street.... one was assaulted.
They found it it was the energizer bunny, he was charged with battery!
@lichme they only found the pepper shaker so couldn't book him for salt and battery
@lichme The bunny is innocent! This calls for a ReVOLT!
@lichme ha saw u added peanut joke - still cute
@Stallion definitely we all got a charge out of this one tonight
@AttyVette Yeah, the joke is too
Although these aren't terribly old, one is more current than the other. Nyuk.
@lichme Two radio station antennas got married. The wedding wasn't much, but the reception was great.
Bank on it
@AttyVette I'm just shocked at how bad the puns are. Positively shocked.
@mike808 @AttyVette Guilty as charged.
Short on cash this month. Can I charger it?
I think I see a pattern forming here.
No one man should have all that power...
If they're so nice... how'd they get here?
Maybe power mat is the beta video tape of wireless charging standards.
@Fej Not everything that's sold here is crap. Yeah, there's a fair share of shitty products too, but at least meh is honest in saying that it's shit.
@miko1 HD-DVD.
@Fej Maybe the negative reviews?
@Fej powermat was the hddvd/betamax of the wireless standards, so everything powermat is cheap
@narfcake this is shit
If Powermat were Qi compatible.. sure. Especially if the batteries did Qi also.
@eblade totally agree here. Can be charged via Qi but cannot charge other devices via Qi? What's the point?!
What's with the tax in Ca? Is that something new?
@jayman007 Tejas has annexed California, didn't you hear?
@thismyusername .. Congresss always wanted net taxation, must of passed it while our backs were turned.. Now it'll spread like herpes.
@jayman007 Yep it is. We now employ someone that resides out in Cali so the law man (that jerk) requires us to start collecting taxes there.
Jolly Coppers on parade.
for starters, powermat is a pretty much dead standard(thanks to delta airlines, AT&T and starbucks)
but that means you can get a powermat wireless charger for cheap.
i bought a powermat dual charger 2 months ago for $7.25 (for my keocera vibe)
@communist I don't really care which standard "wins" I just want a standard that is safe and licensed (I like qi and I like powermat)
@sohmageek out of curiosity, what do you like about powermat?
@communist the drop and go. What I don't like was the lack of mfi iPhone stuff.
I loved Powermat, but um, yeah, Qi is the standard for wireless charging. Even though Powermat did it better with the little magnets to line up the coils. And I still have all those power mats...

@gnol just out of curiousity, whats the model of your computer that doesnt have a audio jack?
the only one i know is the macbook 2015
@gnol you can also get a usb audio card and use regular speakers....
@communist Even the 2015 MacBook still has an audio jack. It's on the right side. You're thinking the USB-C plug on the left that replaced everything else.
@txgb324 whoops you're right
@communist It's an alienware alpha. It was made to plug into a tv but I plug it into a computer monitor.
This is super tempting but boy do I have a lot of chargers. ...
Psst price comparison calls it Road Trip
@HELLOALICE What does that even mean?
@mehler The section with links for price comparison calls it road trip, not day trip.
@HELLOALICE Oh, did I get beat. I ran down the rabbit hole of "Psst... if you compared the prices you'd call the price here a Road Trip." a highjacking. road apples. something hip and slangy. my face, meet egg.
Sorry, no. Jokes on me I guess, I bought a couple of those shitty sunbeam ones last time...
@mehdaf The 2 sunbeams I've got are still working great and are handy as all get out
@tysontomko I agree... wasn't expecting much but they have turned out to be a lot better then the far more expensive ones we have purchased.
How totally crass.. After buying shitloads of your alternates, you tell us, "It makes all the other power banks we've sold look like junk."..?
Here's a banana for your wisdom:
@unkabob I think you mean "delightfully crass"
@austinstorm No, I don't think I stuttered.. (but I'll accept your insert in any case).
Do they work with quadcopters?
@lxlx The bigger one will. It should charge a CX-10 70+ times.
Also, I admire your dedication.
@djslack Cheers. Agree, though, the joke has run its course. Maybe will be funny again next Monday.
@lxlx :)
Some of us beat our horses until they are far deader than this around here.
maybe if it came with a power mat? nah probably not.
Can I trade in the crappy ones for this one ? I still haven't opened the box. I was too bummed after reading what was happening w others who bought them.
@ceagee are you talking about this one? https://meh.com/forum/topics/12000mah-power-bank
@communist yes
@ceagee I was afraid too but I opened mine and it works fine. I've chraged my phone from 40% twice on one charge so far and the third light is still lit.
This thing is sitting at the "please don't order it" price so they can get some vacation time right?
Tomorrow it will be bacon bowls 4 for $20?
@thismyusername
I think I'll pass on this one, but I'll Cu again tomorrow.
This is hands down the worst thing I've seen on here. Anker is the company to buy when it comes to this shit
@neonwars Is this your first time here?
Will these charge off a wireless charging pad for a Samsung phone ??
@gfreek no, they are not QI compatable.
ENERGY OVERLOAD
$49.95 (not $104) on Amazon:

@xterraguy I agree that the price comparison is bunko, but 18 for this plus 8 for the dual pad charger on ebay is still a better deal.
Sorry, but 8,800 mAh is not a lot compared to others offered here. I think you're paying more for the brand name than anything else.
Seems like a yawner (not even meh?). The price for this capacity is just so-so.
How long have these turkeys been sitting on the shelf? The marketing spiff on that last Amazon link talks about iPhone 4/4s.
If you're still using one of those ancient phones, the battery is likely so shot you need to keep it permanently plugged into a USB battery.
(Admittedly since there's an included "Lightning" adapter, some kind of more contemporary kit retro-fit has been accomplished.)
If convicted, can two batteries share a cell?
@radi0j0hn depends on the charges.
So I got this, charged the big one, plugged the cable/adapter into my iPad2 and nothing happened..no charging lightning thing showed up on the iPad. wtf?
@radi0j0hn You need to press the golden button to begin charging.
I tested these and from dead to fully charged my fancy pants $2 meter said 1900mah and 8750mah, respectively. They are really close to advertised capacity and work really well. I am happy.
LOVE THESE!! Finally. A reason, a season, for MEH!!
The problem with my numerous power banks (all Meh purchased) is that they are never charged when I need them. I bought the power mat to go with these so I always have a backup. Nice!
These guys are for sale on Morningsave, $17 for VMP. See above comment. I bought another set.

@one_two3456 Did @sammydog01 get one of these?
@one_two3456 @therealjrn Of course I got one of these. My kids lost them too.
@one_two3456 @sammydog01 I guess they are still working out there somewhere.
@one_two3456 @therealjrn Probably under a bed.
