Found in Brentwood Poundland but, as with most things like this, they are likely in general circulation so worth a punt in your local if you need a stocking filler.

Not a typo. Poundworld have also had a version of these in the past. Clearly you should pay more if you want a sturdier device with a bigger charge but these are cheap enough for a reason.
Perfectly fine for a quick spurt that'll keep your tunes playing long enough to get you home to your big boy charger :smiley:

Amazing price but a battery at that price...
I'd be wary of what happens with some cheap ecigs

Got one yesterday. Charged it, flashes to let you know it's charging, took an hour or so. Tried it on an Acer iconia 7 tablet with 1% left.
Hour later, nothing left in the power bank and 52% power on the tablet.
I'd call that a win, especially for the money. Excellent stocking filler.

Yep and that is all you could need until you get home. Besides its only £1, what is everyone moaning for.

Typo, or do they really sell a power bank with a 4th of the capacity of a modern smartphone battery??

Tell me about your 4800 mAh phone? Ukitel?

My brand new Xiaomi, although to be fair, it is only 4200mAh nominal.
Either way, this is still less than 1/2 the capacity of any phone I know, even the under-batteried iPhones.

Fair enough, I just wanted to clarify.
My £8, 5 year old 10,000 mAh box is dead (SWMBO broke the USB port somehow), so I am on the lookout for a new one.
The smallest I had seen before now was about 5,000 mAh, not counting a 3,000mAh KFC were giving away for free a while back (not in the UK).

As someone in that deal pointed out they are 800mAh cells inside, but I think they're useful for a quick top up.
The pack contains a VERY useful 15cm micro USB cable.
