Why is this cheaper than $1/Ah?

Edit: oh, is it because air travel is about to be a thing again, and these are too powerful for the TSA to allow?

Quote from jdn :

Sent back two as they did they same issue. Once my phone was charged, the battery turns off and then my phone discharges. I'd wake-up with 87% sometimes. Even my cheapo chargers keep my phone at 100% until they give it up.

Do you sleep 20 hours at a time? 13% loss, assuming it turned off sometime in the middle of the night means your phone is running crap in the back instead of idling.

I purchased one of these about a year ago on sale and have used it periodically. I haven't used it for more than one device (Samsung/iphone) at a time so I can't speak much for how well it does under heavy load. It seems to recharge quickly through the usb-c port with QC3 which is nice because some large ones can take a long time to recharge! I haven't used it as much as my many other battery packs because it is a sizeable battery pack as expected for a 30KmAh pack. I plan to use it on the next vacation trip when covid vaccines get out there...

I got this back in Sept for a road trip where I slept in my truck (covid19 precaution) and didn't want to keep my car running to juice a power inverter. My experience was phenomenal. I was able to run my laptop, cellphone, and a USB light simultaneously off the various ports while they were charging. The brick itself took time to charge to 100% but once ready my devices ran simultaneously for hours just sipping juice from the brick. Yes, it's heavy, knock you out in the bodega heavy, so it's not really for everyday carry (I'd use a smaller 10,000 mAh for phone charging).

Yes, it's a bit slow charging up my MBP but this isn't a fast charger plugged into a wall. It did get my laptop to 100%, same with my phone. I did notice the hiccup at 80% but like someone else posted I think that's an iPhone thing. I just tapped the brick's power button again and continued.

I got mine for a little less than this deal but honestly, for $23 bucks this thing gets the job done and I have peace of mind that I've got several cycles of charging if I somehow end up back in the 1800s with no electricity.

I'm in! For $24, it will be great for a road trip or out in the cabin.
Also great as backup battery. Juice this up, put it in the back of your car, add a few charging cables and you're set for emergencies.

Can I run this inline to my Eufy 2k camera, as a UPC or sorts?

I've never seen one that stays on...Aukey, Ravpower, Samsung, etc.

Obviously the real issue is your phone. I don't lose more than 1-2% over night on a modern device.

More like the settings and apps on that phone. Some people allow a lot of stuff to run in the background while they are sleeping.

As we all know, settings and apps on your phone exist as a separate and distinct entity from your phone. Kind of like how when I go to the dentist and tell him my teeth hurt, he tells me that no it's actually all the cavities on my teeth that hurt. It's a truly insightful distinction.

After being stuck at Dulles for hours and far less wall plugs than people I spent some time looking and finalized on the ROMOSS. I own this exact model and it's great! Holds a huge charge and can do nearly everything I want it to do. Owned it since "You last purchased this item on August 6, 2019," and it's solid... For good and bad.

Be aware it's too heavy to want to carry in your pocket, but then again, the capacity far exceeds a daily on the go need. Never had TSA give me any problems, and the writing on the unit is a light gray on a white background, so it's not easy to see that it exceeds the limit. Worst case scenario and a very rare occurrence, having to ditch a $24 unit wouldn't be the end of the world.

The unit even charges in reverse! So if you have an iPhone, you don't need to carry an extra cable just to charge it, it works as a lighting in. Charges with either a USB-C, Micro USB, or by an apple lightning.

Would this charge a laptop 100%?

If you have a laptop that supports charging via usb c it should be able to charge. For example the apple macbook air or pro.

Love these when they work. 2 of mine have stopped working. Whomever buys any, don't expect this company to honor their warranty. Couldn't get anyone to respond back to several emails (direct and through Amazon). Could just take the risk for the cheap price, but my advice is just spend on a more reputable company.

Quote from yooper2001 :

'Getting approval' is misleading. Northwest and delta Airlines allow 1 per person per their web site . No 'getting approval' required

I'm not too sure why I actually went and looked this up but I guess I was genuinely curious as I was under the impression that 26,800 was the largest they would allow.
