Simple small USB charger for phone or tablet. 1200mAh so won't replace the large Anker/&c version but may be useful.
Seems a bargain for £1. I didn't expect much but it topped up my iPhone yesterday without a problem when tested.
Probably worth buying a couple as backups or cheap items for kids?

i have quite a few of these, the advantage of these is if it fails throw it away. if you buy one of the 10,000 mah, which is basically a bigger housing with multiple cells, would you want to open it and replace one cell when it fails. and in answer to your question how big is your phone battery?edit

I will when I get a chance - yesterday I'd charged the power bank and topped up the iPhone about 40% which was all I needed at that point.
From memory the iPhone has a ~1700mAh(?) battery so it likely won't fully charge. Still useful because of the diminutive size though IMO.

Might be worth grabbing a fistful for various USB-powered devices...
A few would charge a phone at a fraction of the price of a bigger charger - heat :smiley:

Could you please test something with it?
Will it still charge the phone with a power supply attached to it charging the battery.
An expensive one I have stops charging the phone when the mains supply is attached to the input of the battery.
Thanks

That's a shame.
The reason for me asking if that I have a car webcam thingy that is wired to the car when the car ignition is on.
When the car is parked it has a security mode which takes a picture every 30 seconds, but needs power to do this.
I don't want to power it from the battery 24/7 so would like a small battery store like the one the op has posted, but it needs to provide power when it is charging as well as when it is not.
Shame.

hot. I have an 8000mah I got from amazon for 8 quid so this is good value. if the efficiency rate is say 80% then this probably has around 1000 juice, which should charge your phone up almost 50%

If it's the same as the one from poundworld I bought several months ago then don't expect much although no one should seeing it's just a quid.
I found it charged my phone about 10% more or less. Okay if you are desperate to give your phone enough charge to make a call.

As I mentioned above it topped up the iPhone with 40% as needed to 100%. For £1 seems good to me.
