How long will it take to charge that tho... at 12 hours a day off basically you will never get to fully charge it LOL

Point taken lmao. But handy for traveling, think somebody said it's around 6 hours to charge.

Using an inverter to charge a power bank feelsbad.

But I'm going to try Jerry rig this to do 12v for a router/network system.

You can't fly with a battery that big. I think for stand alone batteries 20 000mAh is max for airlines.

Strange, my 10 000mAh Romoss takes several hours. It's the black one with the percentage display.

Let us know if this arrives.

Only had one interaction with this Avo and it wasn't good.

It arrived about 1½ weeks after I placed the order.

The major gripe I have is that Avo has no way of sharing tracking information with the buyer.

In my case Skynet was the courier company, and they didn't send me any notification of delivery (SMS or Email). They just rocked up and I wasn't at home.

Contacted Skynet and they refused to assist without a tracking number. Contacted Avo and they straight out couldn't get me a tracking number. So there was no clear way to track my package.

Thankfully Skynet tried again the following day and I got my parcel.

Lucky you. They refunded me after a couple of queries. The product is still for sale and in stock on their site even after I asked to take it down or show out of stock. Someone is getting interest free loans.

I bought this https://www.incredible.co.za/winx-go-ultra-20000mah-100w-power-bank for R999
It charges itself via (65W?) PD so instead of 7 hours it will charge in less than 2 (if you have a PD charger, I use a macbook charger)
It can then charge other devices via PD at 100W. Nice battery percentage display as well, very chuffed.

Yeah those are great but don't expect it to be able to power something at 100w for longer than a couple of minutes

That winx ultra looks good, I see it was under R800 on some shops but sold out.

That’s more like it, great specs.
All it needs is pass through charging(being able to power things whilst being charged itself) and it would be near perfect.
