@nolrak-add a micro-USB port unto your frig , which Is, BTW, plugged in! How? Rip out the icemaker circuitboard if you have an older model. Or do as Roger Wilco said & bore wholes into your new frige!!
@Woody-Even if your skeptical, like Enigma said, one will last 1/2 a day! If that isn’t long enough you can use the smaller one while the bigger one gets recharged, OR find the real thing [your option]!! Just trying to help!
Geez, the local dollar store had a 2500 mAh power bank at the checkout stand, so this combo is worth less than $3. Meh, you guys aren’t even living up to your own name! This is getting kind of tiresome…
@cbl_wv OH, you mean the ‘home owner’s insurance claim due to house fire’ starter kit? Yea, I saw those too when checking out with my $3.00 ‘portable fire place’.
The A->Z link is for PURPLE. These are regrettably blue or red. Sorry Purple-loving peoples.
OTH, my physics class seemed to say that blue+red gave purple. So, order 1 set of each color and then melt them together? (Or, will that melting occur eventually anyway, for cheap electronics now-a-days?)
I had to go back through my order history to see how much I paid for powerbanks here before. In Jan 2016, $18 for very nice Duracell Powerbanks(the larger with built-in lightning and micro-usb cords-both with four leds indicating remaining charge) with 8800 and 1850 mAh. Then in Dec 2016 $6 for two 2600 mAh powerbanks that are generic but at least look better than the one they are trying to unload today. Plus they were available in Red, White and Blue. 'Merica.
Ok, so those were lower capacity or slightly more expensive but are nicer and it was THREE YEARS AGO. My Pixel 3a battery usually lasts me two days anyway and was only $50 after $250 trade-in for my Iphone 6(that phone needed battery help) and $100 Google Store gift card.
Anyway, long-winded way of saying these are garbage powerbanks at a price that is way too high.
@ruthwik1 I have not actually received the credit yet. but it was supposed to be something that was going to be issued within 6 weeks of buying the phone. It was a promo that lasted for a week or so in May. I ordered my phone directly from Google and I’m using their Google Fi Network.
What happened to free shipping? I’ ve been getting charged $5 a month for free shp as a Member, so WTF??¿Someone tell me something cause it’s Sunday, was gonna buy, but was stuck wuth extra $5 shipping fee. Sneaker brand Staus: 1-Lost, 1-Burned Out, 1-Left, so need these Bad!!
@decoratedwarvet it looks like you cancelled your membership at some point. You can sign back up when you check out and you’ll get charged $5 for membership and get free shipping.
@decoratedwarvet@RiotDemon If that were to happen to me again, is there an easy way to tell when I butt-canceled my VMP? Or my credit card got reissued because some bigbox store got hacked?
I have managed to lose my VMP at least 3 different ways. Although the third way was much more my fault. My credit card maxed out because I ran out of money in my credit union while I had an as yet uncashed paper check.
If I notice promptly, then I can feel justified in begging customer support to reverse my mistake. If it turns out that I don’t notice for 45 days, it is too hard to justify. So, how can I easily check when and how my VMP stopped, the next time?
@hamjudo I’m not really sure the best way. They send an email when it’s not able to be charged. Only thing I can suggest is to check the top of the page when you are logged in. It’ll have the V logo if it’s active. Same thing at the bottom of the page in the forums. Shows membership since.
I have to say that a power bank that doubles as a phone stand is at least a reasonable idea. If I didn’t already have a dozen power banks, I’d probably get it.

Do these work with batteries?
@yakkoTDI They are batteries
@jayman007 So is that a yes or a no?
@yakkoTDI no, powerbanks are a rechargeable battery pack.
@RogerWilco @yakkoTDI so yes?
@nolrak so maybe?
@RogerWilco ‘maybe’ is for the weak.
@yakkoTDI Yes, they won’t not work with batteries.
@yakkoTDI
yes, we have no bananas
(…bananas in Scranton PA)
@yakkoTDI 30,000 pounds of them?
@nolrak @RogerWilco-maybe, you will die on the 4th of July! So, who’s the one weak here, me, or you?
Juice me up
@iPooOnUFirstMeh Sure thing!
/ me grabs juicer
@iPooOnUFirstMeh @yakkoTDI-me grabs juice!!
And I promise, when I am President, a power bank in every back-pachyderm.
More sketchy power banks with 0 amazon reviews…
These are cute and everything but not enough juice to last me for half a day.
How am I supposed to plug anything in if I have these properly stored in the refrigerator?
@nolrak drill holes in the fridge.
@nolrak Dear God! You’re not supposed to plug anything in to them! They MUST be stored, unused, in the fridge! Otherwise who knows what would happen!
I see @shahnm has trained you well, young Padawan.
@nolrak-add a micro-USB port unto your frig , which Is, BTW, plugged in! How? Rip out the icemaker circuitboard if you have an older model. Or do as Roger Wilco said & bore wholes into your new frige!!
@nolrak-unless these rechargable battery packs plug staight into the wall. Either way they have to be recharged regardless.
O pink battery
Your capacity lower
Than my phone itself
I am quite unsure
If you’d be charging my phone
Or would it charge you?

@cbl_wv Yeah, but those were some unknown brand of uncertain quality. And, in comparison, these, are, oh, yeah, I see what you mean…

@ponagathos how did you get the store credit
@ruthwik1 I have not actually received the credit yet. but it was supposed to be something that was going to be issued within 6 weeks of buying the phone. It was a promo that lasted for a week or so in May. I ordered my phone directly from Google and I’m using their Google Fi Network.
Watching a movie on your phone should be illegal

everything points to my next phone having a 55" screen
@gameboy8877 Hopefully you will be able to do side talking with it.
1 amp equals e-junk. No practical use. Obsolete

This may just be a perception problem. Maybe it would sound less sucky if you billed it as 3,000,000μAmps. More zeroes! Everybody loves more zeroes.

Are power banks replacing speaker docks as the perennial Meh product?
I have to say that a power bank that doubles as a phone stand is at least a reasonable idea. If I didn’t already have a dozen power banks, I’d probably get it.
is the total price on this site going to end up cheaper than the total price on ebay? first result I found is already cheaper $9.99
Never seen a Windows mouse on an iPhone (on Hulk’s face). I am blown away at this technological marvel
