Romoss Sailing Powerbank

[GrootBaas]

Check the charging cable?

I have 2 solos and 1 polymoss. All three running well

Cables seem fine. When it starts charging the first LED starts flashing, then after a while the second one, but then it never goes further. Just the second one that keeps on flashing.

Maybe you destroyed the battery? Did you use it till it was completely dead?

Erm...I may have done that a few times yes...didn't think it will cause the thing to break though.

Should still be under warranty, send it back.

Will takealot take it back without the original packaging?

So am I right in saying Sailing > Solo?

Yes, branded cells

Fyi, turns out you were right. Noticed the next day my cable doesn't work. Plugged it in elsewhere and voila.

I think I have killed off a few cables already....they tend to suffer when in my overstuffed laptop bag.

My "Sailing 5" has officially given up.
I've honestly (since purchase) used it maybe 10 times.
Logged a exchange request with Takealot, first time I'm doing this.
It's almost (just under) a year since I purchased it.

Finally caved and got a proper power bank...Anker 20k.

Was either that or a Romoss.

In hindsight should have gotten a 10k one not 20k...its pretty heavy for travel.

Anker is the awesome. I bought 6 pack of Anker USB cables and a 5 port desktop charger a couple of years ago. Don't remember how life was without them

Anker is the awesome.

Yeah...previous 2 non-name brands died a bit too quickly so was necessary.

Plus after seeing how spectacularly lith batteries explode I'm not taking any chances...
