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)

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.

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.
Thanks OP, I bought one and it charged up my phone with no problems!

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.

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.
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.

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

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

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/
