Hey all can anyone recommend a cheapish power bank that supports passthrough lets say around 10 000mAh range.

Not much experience with power banks at all :X3: don't need any fancy ports or charging modes just need 5v USB port :). Thanks

I think any router "UPS" has this.

my bad, yes DC. Does load pass though from power supply or does it run continuously off battery?
When they were given to me for a project I was told they were passthrough but honestly I wouldn't know how to check for myself.

Try charging a couple of ipads or something and see if the battery goes down?

I've got it charging a Romoss powerbank now. I'll check on it in an hour or two.
Thanks to load shedding I ended up repeating the process but the Adata battery didn't start recharging during the process.
