Power bank recommendations and sellers

[francois072]

Any recommendations on affordable power banks in ZA?
Superfly, LDNIO, Ultra-Link, Romoss, Energizer and Rocka may be options?

I am very happy with an Adata 10000 unit

Romoss FTW..

Can I get some more info?
Like how long youve had it and number of charges etc.

 

[soload00]

I have had it since Dec 19, it was a Christmas present for my wife

It get charged on about a weekly basis, so maybe 30 discharge cycles.

I have not notice any performance degradation yet. It can recharge a Samsung J4 or Tab E in a few hours

Alternatively, I connect it to a charging point, and at the same time connect my phone in the output port. Then both the power bank and the phone charge at the same time.

The charging point is normally a mains socket with 2 USB charging points. I have these in the bedroom, and they are great, never have to hunt for a 2 pin charger, which does not make a good connection.

Romoss FTW..

Any reason why?
I can get a higher capacity superfly or adata power bank for the same or lower price.
Quality is also important
I'm not intrested in something that's cheap but rubbish.

How many charges do you get on the J4?

Got my mom 2 of these for loadshedding and extended power outages after they tried to use a Magneto LED light to charge phone (despite me telling them not to) and it started smouldering.

On the J4, not more than 2 charges. Though we seldom try to get more than 1 charge, as we would normally recharge both phone and power bank.

Anyone have experience with powerfly or LDNIO?

My 10000mAh Adata PT100 lasted for around 400 charge cycles before the capacity took a dive. I can still use it as a torch for loadshedding. Orico (Geewiz, Loot, Takealot etc.) is another affordable brand which is of reasonable quality. I am not sure whether the Loot app only FREED code for free delivery is still active.

Anker where possible. Also noticed they're trying to move all their inventory that isn't capable of PD

Takealot has the Anker E1 Astro 5200mAh but that isn't big enough.

Takealot has the Anker E1 Astro 5200mAh but that isn't big enough.

I'd be shooting for a Anker PowerCore 20100 or similar. Unsure whether they're available in SA though

Dude, no need to fuss about power banks anymore, they're cheap so get another one if yours suck.

I bought one of these jobbies 'cos my 20k one was a bit bulky for our trip to Thailand Dec'19 (just before Covid )

Takealot

Been using it since & works like a bomb, a steal for R370 (last x-mas special at Incredible)

We use Romoss exclusively in our household (6 power banks) and they work great.
Usually buy them on special. This is 20000mAh that we got last. link

I've been eyeing out this bad-boy for weeks, If I didn't already have a decent power bank this would have been in my cart ages ago.

Check this out on takealot: Adata 12 500 Mah Power Bank - Black

Takealot

Luckily that have an one year warranty too.

Almost 3 Years later and it's working great: Romoss Sense 8+ 30000MAH QC Type- C Power Bank - White Always on special. Can buy it at R500+ at times.

Never buy a powerbank that has only ONE PORT to charge it!
