It is smaller and not bulky like others.
David18 to sp3345

Because it carries much less charge than others...
It's not that good a deal, £10 would be waaaay overpriced for this, you can get others with like 4 times as much power for £10 easily.

Did you get the text about taking your EE one back? Had mine months and not noticed a problem, but the last recall was for all power bars not just ones with a certain serial number

It is small because the capacity is minimal - it wont even charge a smart phone once.
Plus all the cheap power banks have the potential of starting a fire. I would not charge them unsupervised.

I have two similarly small 2200mAh charging banks putting out DC 5v-1000mA I have been using for a year and if fully charged they manage to fully charge up my IPhone 5.
These banks are simply a 18650 battery in a case with required connections and I find them really handy.
It's strange because back in the summer they recalled the E-06 batch , then in November they said all power bars were safe including the E-06 , then 3 weeks after that all power bars are announced to be sent back . At least if you do send it back you can get a different make of power bar with the £20 online voucher you get.

Battery is 2200mah at 3.6 v
To get the capacity at 5v
Its 3.6/5×2200
thekanester to lumsdot

At probably around 80% efficiency

It should be a 4.2v battery.

You can get much mah one but they significant discharge battery after few days fully once fully charged and bit bulky if you just want your phone need to recharge fully one then this one is the best

I think you may have missed the joke here. Or perhaps you felt the need to explain it for the hard of thinking.

10,000 mah power banks are a lot bigger , heavier and harder to carry around.
I have something like the OP's post AND a 10,000mah power bank and the lipstick form factor is a lot nicer if you're only leaving the house for a few hours

He's not talking absolute rubbish. This won't fully charge a lot of smartphones including mine which has a capacity of 3000mAh

EE have recalled them all now, see below message I received a week or so ago.

I have related the joke across a number of deals and other forums, I am very proud of it, and glad to see the cool kids geddit. I made it up all by myself.

got one i am charging the clik device seems no way to tell when ts fully charged just a red light stays on the whole time
kencol to play21er
27 Dec 151#44
The light goes blue once charged. I bought one and found it can power the 300ma Raspberry Pi Zero no problem, I'm not sure how long the battery lasts, but it's a £4 solution to power your Pi out and about. I think these power banks are 800ma, so not sure how they'd fair powering even a Pi B or whatever, the zero apparently draws something in the region of 300ma (I may be wrong).
This link suggests that it should be 7.3 hours, which would be great!
I picked up a couple of these on Boxing day. Neat little unit and pleased with how it works with my S6 edge

Tempted to get one for shorter days trips. Have a Plemo 5200mAh which is quite bulky for a short burst, but best option for a day trip where I use internet a lot though. Thanks, heat added
