Great price for a power bank. Never seen these at £1 especially in store. Buy one, it could get you out of an emergency some time.
This was in Belfast but I'm sure it should be national

Good price, but not sure I'd personally trust a £1 lithium battery.

also have these in bargain buys. they charge and work ok . they just have a 18650 battery inside I'm sure the capacity is more than the 1200mah stated on package

My torch and laser takes that 18650 battery. Do you know if it is possible to strip the powebank down and use these battery's?

Are you sure? I thought 18650 batteries are 3.7v and for usb charging 5v is required?

You'd think that but I took one out and charged it in my XTAR VC4 and it did indeed only take 1200ma of charge.... Was going to use them in my vape mod but given the battery has no writing on it and it only took such a low charge, the drain would be too much for use in anything more powerful. Last thing I need is my hand/face exploding just for the sake of a couple of £1 batteries!!

I bought two a couple of months ago. They contain low powered 18650 battery inside. Used the battery for my Cree torch.

They use an inverter to boost up to 5v, unfortunately this is rather inefficient

Yes you could, but for the money you might be better off getting some old laptop battery packs and taking those apart or just buying some cells off eBay which don't have fire in the name. You just need to be careful you don't over discharge the cells, power banks have ICs in them that stop the over charing / discharging after about 4.2v and 3.6v if you don't have that protection IC in your torch or laser then you could damage the cell from over discharging. Use a decent charger and throw recycle them if they get hot while charging that is bad.

yes I bought this as a charger for my 18650 batterys as it switch's off when charged and you use a UK/ safe mains USB charger with it.

Looked for one of these some weeks back!, as per a previous HUKD Posting of this same Device/Kit at PoundWorld some 3-7 days prior to it or so?.
But to this day I've still not found me nowt of these?. :-(
Its a shame really .....
Has anyone come across any of these in East London by any chance? (or any other London Store offerings for that matter too?), or ..... thanx. :-)
