Something like this is a bit more reasonable, many of the car jump start chargers will charge laptops as well - have a look on Amazon. You can get them in the UK too.

good size but capacity to price, I paid £16 for 16000 mAh for an anker (or w/e it's called) one with a flash flight and quick charge 2.0

I got this a few months back in a Tesco clearance. It only charges an iPhone twice then it's dead. Wouldn't pay more than a tenner for it

Your's is not well then.
Had one of these since they launched - charges my iphone for a whole week's worth of travel. Really handy to take on longer haul routes too.

It's interesting you mentioned Tesco, and some month's back?.
About 1+ months back after you got your cheapy one from Tesco's, then this came up too:
Only one left in Halifax this morning! I bought the last 15600 model for £23.33.:smirk:

Saw 3 or 4 of these in Sainsbury's, Prestwick, a couple of days ago. Only one today, so I bought it. A kind of half-way house between the wee juicecube, and my 28000mAh Aukey, which I use for my Surface Pro.

There are such things for laptops, but rather larger and rather dearer.
Similar ones often on Amazon lightning deals, but not seen any under about £35 yet

Ah, right - such a thing does not exist. Thanks. I have never bought one of these devices so just assumed that there were ones out there for laptops. Makes me even more annoyed that many laptops now come with non-removable batteries

i doubt you will find anything like this that will charge a laptop.

Good grief. That seems tiny for such a large amount of power.

Looks like it could contain four 18600 lithium cells. One of those can be up to 3400mAh capacity.

It's unlikely to be able to charge a laptop as most need higher voltages and currents than the 5V @ 2.0A that this USB charger allows (19V is common in laptop chargers). If you have a smaller notebook that can charge off USB, then I would think this should be able to charge it.

Thank you. I will look for something else that is laptop specific.

Will this charge a laptop - i.e. a dell?
I had a look on the Amazon product page and there are two people asking the same question - alas, one answer is that it does charge a laptop battery and another that says it will not.
