My phone was out of juice earlier, so I found these in Home Bargains which seemed like a decent buy for a fiver especially since it was on the high street and I could rip it open there and then and revive my phone!
Even has a torch feature for...erm...some reason :D
Picture doesn't exactly match the product but close enough, various colours available and comes with a little USB lead to get you started in the packet too (I have an iPhone which I had the lightening cable for but no power adapter - it worked fine in this battery gadget)

Don't waste your money. These don't last long.

Well, if they last a year, then that's pretty good for £5, and if they don't, get a replacement or your money back with consumer law. Seems like a bargain.

Yes I had one of these and it was just useless. My recommendation will be to buy a decent branded one like Anker or Aukey.

I have had one for over 6 months still works fine - I think I paid £7.99 this is a good deal.

Similar ones, but only 2400mah where £4.99 in my local Range today. This is a good price.

Didn't think Power banks were sold pre-charged?

Every single power bank I've bought from EC Tech, Anker and Lepow has always been charged when I received them, normally from Amazon.
Thanks OP, I bought one and it charged up my phone with no problems!

No such thing as a 12 months warranty in the UK in consumer law.
You have 6 years to make a claim. In the first 6 months the onus is on the retailer to prove the fault wasn't there when sold. After that, it's down to you to prove it was.
Lucky then that in real life, the 3 or so times I've had an item go faulty within a year I've had an instant return or free spare part mailed.

Many retailers extend the 6 months to 12, in effect giving you a "12 months warranty", but there is no consumer law which gives you 12 months warranty. See: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-wrong-with-a-purchase/claim-using-a-warranty-or-guarantee/
