Hi all,

With order volumes like we get from HUKD we do unfortunately have stock run out quicker than the site reflects. We have explained in the past but it an easy way to explain it is this - there is one code left, 50 of you order it - we assign it to the fist order that hits our system and the rest unfortunately get a cancellation email. We are sorry about it, we work hard to try and stop it - but it does happen.

Using this code as an example (before someone says "but i ordered with x left") - we sold something like 850 of these in a morning. We have rules in place on high volume orders, new accounts, fraud holds based on some triggers etc. We basically have an element of manual work to clear orders, we do not allocate stock from the web to these orders until we pass these rules - what that means is, you may see 100 left in stock but we may have 120 orders "received" and progressing through. This is not normally an issue, except when we get end of line items being hit with demand.... like happens here.

So, we are sorry, we do our best to be as accurate as possible with stock but it's more likely to happen with HUKD hot products than a typical sale.

Hope that clarifies for everyone - especially those who have been disappointed with this one.

Who else is thinking Pokemon Go? :smirk:

good point. I already had other items when I bought mine :smiley:

Nice find, ordered :smiley:

Thanks I have been looking for a power bank this one is probably a lot bigger and heavier than what I need but should do the job nicely just hope the 2.1 can fast charge my s7 edge thanks and thanks for the 10p plug thing used it

just think, moar pokemon

lol thought about that my car charger socket is rubbish nothing stays in it I spend loads of time in traffic travelling under the 20kmh limit so phone sat on passenger seat hatching eggs and battery draining fast

Hi, how heavy is this one please? Got a 22400 one which is great but could do with a bit smaller one for everyday use. Thanks

this looks like the one

17 hours to charge, that's a long time

Who else is thinking Pokemon Go? :smirk:

ive gone for one, again based on my moto " cant go wrong for that price "

​ah well hopefully it will be powerful enough to at least keep the charge the same or slowly charge it on 2.1amp

​yep that's it or very very similar at least. wow 40 quid Amazon!?

Thanks :smiley:

Or theres this item for 5p for the penny pinchers :smiley:

http://cpc.farnell.com/multicomp/cp-aa15-3-ca/cap-blue-for-cpbt-aa15/dp/SW03665

Great price! But Hmm my phone has a type c port. What would I need to make this work with it?

Bought a Velleman circuit board holder from CPC for 6.34 and they are quite hard to get hold of without paying expensive p&P. eBay cheapest is 12.05.

Well I wasn't , but now you've made me!

The brand has some recent stinking reviews for various capacities on Amazon but, hey ho, for this price I'll give it a punt. Can always return it.

A cable with USB at one end and USB-C at the other. I'm pretty sure you've got one already . . .

this may work for you:
http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/psg91198/lead-usb2-0-a-male-type-c-1m-black/dp/CS28708

Many thanks, thats brilliant. The only USB c cable I have is the c to c cable that came with my phone so will definitely need to get one.

this might be more handy than another cable,
http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/psg91228/adapter-usb-type-c-male-micro/dp/CS29238

I suspect they're made with cheap mass-produced Li-ion cells from China. These are always hit and miss in terms of quality. You could get lucky, you might not. They might last a couple of years, they might last a week. If you fancy a gamble these are maybe worth a punt. For me though I'd rather pay a bit more for some proven reliability.

Is this for Pokemon go?

Probably right but how much is a bit more I didnt want to spend 20 to 40 pound for something that will sit in my bag to not be used very often and when i looked so many different makes and varied prices what is a good one I have seen Anker seem to be raved about but they are very expensive

Thanks ordered two, gonna need the battery as Pokemon Go drinks way too much juice.

Or this one for 6p, and total £6.01.

http://cpc.farnell.com/te-connectivity-amp/1586000-2/plug-housing-free-hanging-2-way/dp/CN17751

While I do believe in paying more for better quality, I think I'll order this. I've ordered quite a few Anker items, some batteries, some not and they are decent for the price but I've had issues with 1 of their batteries and my email went unanswered. The battery on my Anker speaker is faulty (quite common looking at reviews). My point is that paying more doesn't guarantee a trouble free experience, just reduces the likelihood of problems. One power bank I do recommend when it's on offer is the VINSIC 20,000mAh model. Very impressed with it.

Nice one! Heat added and ordered. Thanks for the find op!

2.1 amp should be plenty, will still charge the phone fairly fast unless you're doing something very intensive.

Looks good.

Thanks OP, just ordered and bought the random 6p item to get total over £5.00 for free postage.
Paid £15 for a 10000 mAH in the sale for one the other day from Tesco. Thought I'd share that with you guys.

I bought this of Ebay and its been really good although now a little dearer

Bought, £6 delivered. Cheers voted hot

Totally don't need!

Already have a Xiaomi one, may have to buy a spare

How are people getting this for £6 - it's coming up £8.94 for me including vat at £1.50 and a £2.50 "handling charge"?

Look at post 1 to get price

Great deal thank you.

I think this is the powerbank on another site for £60 here.

That sounds like an excuse you tell the police when questioned for using your phone while driving.....

Thanks , can't complain at £6.01. And thanks to the OP. Ordered.

Unbranded, from HK (weeks delivery), guaranteed it won't be 12000mAh, single USB output, no LED percentage remaining display, not even remotely comparable to the CPC deal.

Or buy two (or the small 2000mAh one) to get over the free postage bracket!

Just ordered for £6 total. Says "your order is subject to credit check and authorisation". Why a credit check? I chose to pay via debit card and put in my card details....

grabbed for holidays - thanks OP

Thanks OP, very good deal!

Hot hot hot, and just when I'm looking to buy a power bank for Pokémon Go xD

Probably just a standard message that appears after any payment is submitted to CPC. I got the same message when I paid,

Stock is getting low now, only about 100 units left and they are going fast! However, there is "More stock available week commencing 25/07/16" apparently.

The reviews on Amazon for the 12,000mah Reviva are very positive (all 6 of them). There are four 5 star reviews and two 4 star reviews altogether. Definitely worth a punt at this price.

Other useful items worth adding to take the order above £6 are insulation tape and 100x cable ties which are about 20p.

Black Insulation Tape

White Cable Ties

Looks dodgy as hell

http://cpc.farnell.com/lms-data/c-usb-light-th/iphone-lightning-cable-1-5m-white/dp/TE07681

Add this to your order as another option. Can never have enough iPhone cables :smiley:

How safe are these power banks? Considering you hear of mobile phone batteries exploding, I would think the level of testing on the power banks are fairly minimal and would worry one going wrong.

Only 30 left...

I think the smaller two are only 1A outputs. Slow charging :/

25...

May have a walk down on my lunch to pick one up. Saves me ordering a 6p item to get it delivered :smile:

Now only 15 left. They will sell out in the next 5 minutes for sure.

Nice, thanks OP.

I needed some capacitors (about a quid's worth) and had no reason to spend a fiver with CPC at the minute, so the two came together quite nicely :smiley:

7 left now

All gone! But there will be "More stock available week commencing 25/07/16" apparently.

Thanks, ordered together with some cable ties.

ordered one anyway, will wait for more stock.

Bought an ebay special 20,000mah solar charger
1. Charges a 2000mah batter max of 2 times
2. Solar doesn't work.
3. When plugged into the mains to charge, you get weird electric shocks.

Lovely.

no doubt this will be much better.

Hi All

Just to let you know that this is now out of stock - Could you please expire?

Thanks

Wow! I ordered one about an hour and a half ago. There were 438 left!
Tbf, I used to opportunity to pick up some car bits I've been meaning to order too.

This item is no longer stocked folks!

Ordered thanks

Oos

so who ordered 50 to resell on fleabay for £20 a pop? most places seem to sell this for around £50!

order cancelled :disappointed:

Thanks, ordered 2 to give to friends.

No way is that 50,000mah! :laughing:

That is one powerful batter! :laughing:

Just had my order cancelled. Not a great first impression of the company!

My order was cancelled to, annoying as hell!

Same here. Cancellations all round? Wonder if I'll still get the 6p crapstick I didn't really want... and be charged delivery for the privilege Lol

just having the same conversation with my kids and found this...

do you think they had the wrong stock level mine is still processing. Any reason why it was cancelled

Cancelled :disappointed:

mine 2 orders cancelled too...

Mine still says "processing" (there were 150 or so left at the time I ordered), assuming they must be cancelling some of the last to order due to stock levels, bit daft though when there's apparently stock due in soon

Any explanation for the cancelations?

It might be possible they want to update price for new stock?

Mine cancelled two
Email states

"... Apologises but the item you have ordered is no longer stocked. We will cancel this order for you. Apologises for any inconvenience caused".

When I ordered they had 80+ in stock

mine says "complete" and has a PO number.

Not sure what the PO Number represents other than the date/time it was ordered.

Just seen I have a UPS tracking number :smiley:

Did you order for Sat or Mon?

I didn't know there was an option lol so I have no idea. All I do remember is it saying 3-5 days delivery.

Ordered one (1), along with a tempered glass screen protector around 7:00am. Showing as 'processed', with a tracking number.

mine says complete now and have a ups tracking number but cannot track yet

We have explained in the past but it an easy way to explain it is this - there is one code left, 50 of you order it - we assign it to the fist order that hits our system and the rest unfortunately get a cancellation email.

Hope that clarifies for everyone - especially those who have been disappointed with this one.

exact same, somehow i am a trade account member for cpc :?

Good thing I didn't wait around like I usually do and just ordered, mine is showing as completed with UPS label created.

Now my Pokemon Go addiction can go on for longer periods. I will find that Squirtle that keeps showing as close by, mark my work, same with that Abra.

When did you order?

I also have a ups next to mine, there were 640 in stock when ordered and I'm a regular customer so that probably helped.

​It doesn't say but about 15 minutes after it was posted quick Google around the bought my ups has updated ready for ups

Showing as out of stock but available to pre order due 25/7 so I've ordered a couple, thanks

Has anyone's actually shipped yet?

I have been using it since Dec and its been really good I even use it to power a mobile wifi webcam, and charges both my tablet and phone as required , I cant confirm if it is as stated , but it has been reliable and done the job intended.

Yes mine is in transit with UPS scheduled for Monday delivery

Update
Cancelled now saying no longer stocked :disappointed:

Same here wish I had ordered a smaller one as well instead of that 10p cable thing

I bought some other bits and pieces, that's the 'trouble' with CPC - for a techy nerd like me I can spend all my wages there :smile:

Mine too now :smiley:

Scheduled Delivery:
Monday, 18/07/2016, By End of Day
Last Location:
Departed - Tamworth, United Kingdom, Saturday, 16/07/2016

Anyone received? Any good?

Mine arrived this morning. Seem decent quality. As described. Only time will tell with the capacity and how many charges it gives.

Just arrived, branded REVIVA, EAN 5030578338613. Looks good :smiley:

Received this morning. Seems ok- has a percentage remaining readout which is useful.

There's a bit of a high pitched whine coming from the bank whilst charging, but you tend to find this on most cheap power supplies. Battery bank not heating up at all which is a good sign!

Which courier? Still not had any email saying if it's dispatched or not no cancellation email either.

Mine has just arrived.

I don't have any issue like that though it seems to be very slow in charging, I've been charging it for over half an hour and so far it's only charged 2%, and even then it charged one percent, then got stuck and only moved further when I unplugged and replugged the charge cable, this is the issue with both batteries I ordered.

I just checked the little instruction manual and it says' charge time upto 17hours...WTF

mine arrived smaller than I thought it would be should be ideal left it on charge 88 percent had a shower came down same 88 percent slow charger but would leave over night to charge anyway

​UPS, go to your cpc account and the info can be found there such as the tracking number.

Got mine too. Also 88‰ charged. It's been charging for 20 mins, its now 90%. I'm using my tablet charger.

Yep its this one..

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Reviva-Premium-Power-12000mAh-Black/dp/B00XBGNRGO?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

I don't know what's going on with mine, though it could be the unit is just slow, it does say 5v 1a for input, so it's going to be slow no matter what charger we use. Good thing I didn't order more than a couple of these, they seem good for an emergancy but for daily use they take too long to fully charge.

To think my nephew complained about the three hours it takes to charge the Mii battery bank I bought him.

2hrs 20 mins later and its only got to 92% from 88%! :confused:

Wow the charge rate on this is really irratic, I went away for 90mins and when I came back both were charged from 8% to 99% maybe even 100 but the lack of the third display it will forever be 99.

Got mine today too. So compact and weighty. Nice having the LED display, currently sitting at 85%. Too bad about the charging up rate everyone's been reporting, still, good enough for emergencies if it holds the charge.

Mine arrived today, when unboxed it was completely flat, showing 00 when plugging in a USB power cable... hopefully it'll be good once charged.

Anyone else finding the led stays on when charging a device (eg smartphone, tablet)? Wish it didn't.

On the plus side it quickly pumps juice into my aging phone dropping its charge about 1% per minute on the 1A port.

Bought two of the 6,000mAh ones and they arrived yesterday. Both were at 85% charge out of the box. I'm running some tests on them at the moment to see how much charge they really provide.

Just got mine today, wondering if it's wonky - it said 88 on the display initially but as soon as I plugged it in it said 99 - it's been charging for about 6 hours now and as soon as I take it out of the socket the display goes back to saying 88 again :disappointed:

mine was funny until I used it to charge something then it started charging properly

I've just finished testing mine and got 7763mah out of it on its first full charge.. that's with a 2A constant load.. it can't supply 2A though.. I got about 1.7A max.

Not bad for the price about what I'd expect from a no name unit.

thanks - mine seems to be OK now too

I don't think it is 88 - I think it's analysing the battery and just showing all the LED segments on the display until it's worked out the state of the battery. Mine did this when plugged in then showed 2%

​makes sense mine jumped to 92 percent after the 88 disappeared

Finally taken it out to see what it is like. I have a galaxy s7 edge went for a walk and had pokemon go running it charged my phone very fast nearly as quick as the quick charger it hasn't gone down on the battery level on the charger at all though but I am very happy with this charger

The 6,000mAh models supply just over 4,000mAh, which is inline with what the packaging says (it says they can charge a 1,250mAh battery 3 times = 3,750mAh). Very pleased with them so far, especially for the price.
