Hardware Bargains 2 - Electric Boogaloo

Any good powerbank deals? Looking at 20 000 mah so it's airline friendly.

Ideally I'd also like a name brand that won't burn down the house and has some protection/quality control involved :ROFL:

Not a deal but a suggestion avoid Romoss.
They used to be good but find they not good with more modern phones.

My first 2 power banks were Romoss and they're still going (but older and no USB-C)... I did note Takealot hardly stocks them anymore too for some reason. Mostly for cheapy attachments I've started using Baseus.

In July, China revoked the 3C certification for ALL Romoss power banks
Romoss halted production on 7 July and it is still halted into 2026.

In that case you'd better also be weary of Anker, Baseus and Ugreen as well. It was a supplier problem with Amprius an upstream supplier of cells which shipped contaminated cells. Anker had even more units affected by this.

Oh lord, now this thread is going to be polluted with another 5 page discussion about Takealot and fake SSDs again.

A good filter (thought probably not foolproof) is order lead-time. Anything over a week is sus
