@phendrick@PooltoyWolf I’m seeing a lot of recent reviews with photos of broken cable tips, overheating and failure to recharge within 1 to 6 months. Going to sleep on it and contemplate whether I’d prefer one with a safer chemistry and replaceable cables.
Friendly reminder you cannot take these on a plane. Well, I guess with republicans holding TSA paychecks hostage you might be able to bribe your way on.
AI Overview The largest TSA-approved power bank is typically around 27,000mAh, which is under the 100Wh (watt-hour) limit, though some models with a slightly higher capacity (up to 27,650mAh or 99.5Wh) also fit. While a 100Wh limit is standard, batteries between 101 and 160Wh can be allowed with specific airline approval. It’s crucial to check the power bank’s watt-hour (Wh) rating using the formula (Wh=(mAh\times Voltage)/1000) to confirm it meets the 100Wh limit.

Are these swell as well?
@yakkoTDI They seem kinda bulky. It’s like they came pre-swelled.
@yakkoTDI Perhaps, but they’re definitely phat.

A pair of 30,000 mAh power banks for $15 each? Am I reading that right?
@PooltoyWolf I read the same thing. With my glasses on.
And the a’zon reviews look mostly decent.

@PooltoyWolf Yeah, I think they should be 30k mAh TOTAL, and they would still fail to deliver.
Now we’re up to 30 Ah? Anyone holding out for 40?
@phendrick The VERY expensive lithium ion battery I’ve been looking at for my motorcycle is 16Ah (12V).
Actually, I can think of better…
@phendrick Yeah! A blow up wolf to guard your campsite and to snuggle!
@PooltoyWolf Mine would be a little more warm-blooded. To each his own. (But yours IS pretty handsome.)
@phendrick Thank you! Heh.
/showme Neo from The Matrix using JOYFAR 30,000mAh Power Bank as cell phone.
@mediocrebot Do the AI bots watch all the old movies?
(Like Number 5 in Short Circuit?)
@mediocrebot Guess I better hide the home movies.
Nice romance novel writeup.
22.5 watts? That’s no charging power at all these days!

@bobthenormal Depends on the airline. TSA limit is up to 2 battery banks with up to 160Wh capacity, and these are ~115Wh.
I can’t speak for all airlines, but I know Alaska Airlines allows for this. FAA allows airlines to refuse batteries >100Wh in capacity.
@bobthenormal @minuette I just know you’re definitely not allowed to keep them (or anything with these kinds of batteries) in checked baggage!
I’m waiting for the JOYNEAR brand myself.
Over the limit on airlines unless prior approval.
