Did anyone pay Firstshop by credit card and get a refund? They are giving me the run-around wanting paperwork from my bank, instead of just reversing the credit card transaction.

File a dispute with your bank. Easier

Exactly the sheet I had. Had to get a letter from bank to confirm banking details. Although it was EFT, not CC
 

Got these from Snatcher.co.za for R89 ea as was posted here. Will put it through its paces on my 5000mAh phone.

Open one up and inspect for weights of some kind and the battery pack..
 
Pick 'n Pay currently has a special on the Smartpower 20K mAh powerbank for R199. I bought several of the 10K mAh model that they were selling last year and the one that I am currently using appears to be working as expected although I haven't used it very much.
Got one, my chubby fingers must've added it to my asap cart. Works well, my wife and son used it while they were at the Vaal, fully charged a Xiaomi Note 10 pro and P30Lite but it's not a quick charger.
 
If you plan on keeping your phone for more than 2 years, I'm always weary of using off-brand Powerbanks and cheap chargers. They can wreak havoc on the battery, especially if you use the device while charging with them.

It doesn't really matter if you have a fast or slow charger, as long as it provides a steady flow of current, which many of these cheaper chargers don't.

No I don't think it has any of the latest features but hopefully you will get your money's worth in terms of the total number of charges.

I have found my powerbanks to be very useful during loadshedding to charge phones and tablets, power 4G routers as well as cheap USB light bulbs.

Does seem to at the moment, I know my original 20k one only does 2 charges of my phone now, but it did get used a lot during load shedding

Not trying to be combative, but a bit of planning is cheaper and easier. I have an app that warns of load shedding. I charge phones, speakers, torches etc before the blackout. The batteries always last longer than load shedding in our area.

Cool story bro. Most of us have lives and can't micromanage everything. Paying R200-R300 for a powerbank is a no brainer.
