I bought several of these about a year ago. I bought them at $4.99 each. But the way everything has gone up, this may be as low as they go now. As for quality, I'm actually very impressed how well they've held up. I use them almost every single day and none of them have had a single issue.

One did end up destroyed, but it was 100% my fault. I left it outside on a mini solar panel and I had a surprise rainstorm. I gave it a week to fully dry and then used compressed air to dry it further. The USB-C cable basically welded itself to the power bank the next time I used it. Oops. Lucky it didn't fry the connected device also.

Overall, 10/10. These hold up very well. If they were the same $4.99 they were last time, I'd buy a dozen. They're worth $7.49, they're even worth $10. I just don't really need more, so I'm passing for now.

Are you actually serious?

I suppose you have first-hand experience to back up these outlandish claims?

Please also back up your claim with a link to a similar item for a "much cheaper price..."

Seems good. I haven't seen many cheap ones have USB C for both charging your phone and recharging itself.

Great Price.... Was 15.99 shipped to my door for 2. I have one from the previous deal and it's actually a great little charger. It's able to "fast charge" my Pixel 7 when using a USB-c cable.

For this price point do not buy. This is cheap Chinese junk. I'm not sure your affiliation with this company but you can purchase something similar for a much cheaper price…

These are solid. We have 3-4 of them floating around the house and use them fairly regularly. Keep one in the wife's purse, car, etc.

My car USB only puts out 1a. Can I connect my phone to this, and this to my car at the same time to charge my phone faster than the car will, and simultaneously prolong the charge on the battery?

I got the black one from previous deal. It's perfect for me. In for another one.

For the people saying there's cheaper & better, post it or piss off.

Does anyone know the USB-C port is PD ready? Would be great to fast-charge an iPhone but that requires 18w. Thx.

And Anker charges 59.99 for the same 5000mah maggo. Yes it comes with a stand and a MagSafe charger.

I would not have expected it to have Power Delivery charging, but, according to this post on the previous page, where they claim that it "fast charged" their Google Pixel 7, apparently, it does support PD charging: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=162319465&postcount=6

I have a Pixel 6a and my daughter has a (2021) Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G, so, at this price, I am tempted to buy a few of them. Especially, being that I still have some Walmart store credit to use, from some returns that I have done, over the past few months.

Btw, thank you, OP, for posting this deal on here others to see. It's always nice to see some good Walmart deals being posted. Keep up the great work!

Nope, it may only work if you drive several hours at a time and only charge your phone occasionally. Still, it will be a bad idea. Powerbank will change at 1A and try to fill your phone at 2A and will deplete eventually. Keeping it connected to charging and keeping in your car, exposing to extreme temperatures will cause it to wear too fast, may also cause fire at some point. A better idea is to get a 12V to usb adapter and charge faster. There is plenty on the market that does 18W at/around $10 mark. I got one from monoprice with usb-c cable but cannot link it as it is discontinued unfortunately.
