Got mine 2 days ago after weeks of waiting. I charged it for 16 hours and it went from 25% to 75%. That seems quite a bit long for me to only get 50%. I shipped out back yesterday and will just buy Anker or something else for a bit more money.
That is slow, but some specs on the charger being used would help clarify if the samsung pack is the issue. If I charged this off my laptop docking station, it'd probably take ~2 days.

This may be a silly question but I was a few years behind in tech until this year. How common is it for devices to come with USB-C to USB-C cables?

This power bank has one USB-A and two USB-C ports. I have a Tab S7+, GW3, GWA, S21+, Buds Live, and an iPhone 12 pro and the only one that came with USB-C on the input side is the iPhone. The rest all have USB-A to C.

Almost seems like it would've been better to have two of the A and one of the C, just going by Samsung's latest generation of products.
I have this battery pack, it came with a USB-C to USB-C cable, its short, maybe 3 inches and its flat.
My Samsung A71 5G came with a USB-C to USB-C cable, the 25W wall charger it came with only has a USB-C input. I use this charger for the battery pack, it charges it up the quickest of all my chargers.
They both support Super Fast Charging, unlike the S7+, which came with only a 2.0A charger

Besides your watches, all your other devices will charge a LOT faster in PD (power delivery) mode, which is only available when you use a USB-C to USB-C cable and a PD-capable charger or battery pack (which this is).

The right conclusion to draw here is that Samsung is selling their own devices short by bundling USB-A to USB-C 'slow' chargers and cables just to save a few pennies. It's also weird because my budget Samsung A71 that was almost free came with a PD charger. Non-US markets also seem to be getting PD chargers with their S20 and S21 phones though the US isn't. It's just all messed up.

You can get good quality aftermarket PD chargers for $10 each, and good quality USB-C to USB-C cables for $10 for a 3-pack. Get them and enjoy faster charging.

Pd on this thing is 25w. Plus you can only plug in a single device to get that speed based on their advertising.

How many watts hours is this? They don't list what voltage the mAh is rated at. I'm going to guess 3.7 which is the cell voltage?

Thanks for explaining, I had no idea that USB-C to USB-C charging would be faster. Someone above mentioned that this power bank comes with a short USB-C to USB-C cable.

Any idea if that would do the trick for PD mode, or does it need to be a certain type of USB-C cable to take advantage of faster charging?

I forgot that I also got one of their Chromebooks when it was on sale and that one actually did come with a C to C charger. The power brick is of course much bigger than the ones that (used to) ship with the phones, so when I used it once to charge the S21+, that was the only time I've seen it charge in "Super Fast Charging" mode.

I have someone in my family that works for a school and let's me use their Samsung account for the discounts plus I have an edu account with my old college email.

Theirs shows up as EPP and mine shows up as EDU. However, from what they've told me, their employee benefits portal advertises the Samsung discount and has a link that they had to click through to set up the account.

That being said, I think they don't really verify it anyway unless you are purchasing laptops.

Another way is to create an account with Plum Benefits or a similar site and then click through to Samsung from there.
Or create a sofi account

Pretty huge capacity. Might not be able to take this I some international flights. Some countries limit the size of batteries to 160000.

I have the older original 10K models, those are great. I'm in for one.
Life pro tip, tape two original 10K models together. Ta-da, you now have this product

The cable that comes with it will be fine for PD mode. Every USB C-to-C cable carries a built-in marker that tells the charger its power rating so that the charger doesn't overheat the cable. This battery can do 25W PD which is average and fast enough for phones and tablets. Any short USB C-to-C should be able to handle that. Your chromebook charger on the other hand is probably 45W PD. Some cables won't go beyond 29W, but that's fine because your chromebook charger will reduce the power output accordingly.
