I purchased these last time and they are awesome. They travel well, charge my phone more than twice, and the integrated cord works well.
The only problem is that I plug them in when I’m traveling and forget them. So I they are easier to lose. As a matter of fact, I just purchased two replacements last week.
@heartny I got my two on April 1, which was a Wednesday. And they were $0.99 cheaper. So maybe Twofer Tuesday is over-rated?
But they do work well and I recommend these to anyone with use for a power bank with a built-in USB-C cable. I’d buy again if I needed additional (but I don’t).
Beam Power me up Scotty. Opps. My phone is old enough it uses a lightning cord. Of course I do have adaptors although I am not sure any of them are C to lightning… hmmm…
@Narwalt Yes, I do that often. It recharges itself while that is happening. And the readout shows what power it’s delivering. I gave it a good recommendation above.
I have a 65 watt power supply that looks almost identical to this. It’s heavy and it will slip out of the wall socket if you breathe near it. I’m constantly having to plug it back in and it drives me crazy. Can anyone who owns this let us know if you have issues with it sliding out of the socket?? Thanks!!
@Num1Zero I have not had that issue with mine. If you feel adventuresome, you might pull the cover off your wall outlet. Some have internal contacts that can be tweaked to hold tighter by moving them slightly toward the plug tines. Get your spouse’s permission first. You have mine, but don’t take that as medical or legal advice. (Also, metal screwdriver or pliers NOT recommended while circuits are live. Knife from plasticware set could be used. Use the thick end.)
and it will slip out of the wall socket if you breathe near it.
@Num1Zero Sounds like the contacts are worn out in that receptacle. Replacing it is a good idea, since a loose connection means a poor connection, which means heat, which is not good. Standard ones are like $1 at the home improvement store.
There are plenty of DIY guides and videos out there. Just make sure that the circuit breaker is OFF first.
Obviously turn off the circuit breaker first before messing with a socket.
Honestly, sockets are pretty easy to replace and if plugs are falling out of yours they are probably just worn out. They cost a couple of bucks at your local hardware store and can be replaced in 10 minutes easily. Look up videos on Youtube.

So of course these are for sale today.
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
These things are great! Sadly I’m already swimming in power banks I’d paid more than this for.
Twofer Tuesday

Looking at the fourth pic I’m assuming these can passthru charge?
As in I can use it as both a power bank and a wall charger?

@Num1Zero Bought these last time and they’re great. Haven’t had any trouble with them staying seated in my kitchen outlets.
I have to ask, do they come in Georga Red¿? What about Alabama Crimson¿?

Never change, Meh.
Be aware: cord is NOT long enough to plug into itself and create unlimited power… thought I was onto something last time…
edit: …but maybe with two…
