good find and excellent price. Although 1200mah will be about 1/3 of a Samsung S7 etc

Wasn't terrible compared to some other cheapy ones he's opened up. One was definitely defective which given he only had 2 means you've probably got a 50:50 chance.

i got a couple of these and pulled it apart to use the battery when i got a torch delivered from ebay and found it used a 18650 battery and had no adapter that would fit. you can get the batteries as low as 2 for 99p on ebay from malaysia but i would have had to wait 2 or 3 weeks
it's a bargain for a pound
they also had 2 metre iphone and android cables. the IOS ones state they only charge with an adapter not PC but i've been using both types (iphone 6s and ipad3) to sync and they work fine. the extra length compared to the standard cables is handy if you are plugging into the back of a desktop

I've got one - it approx 1/2 charges my Motorola MotoG 3G. It is very small and handy for a quick booster charge (but unlikely to fully charge any smartphone). Charge cable as some mentioned ONLY charges, won't work as sync cable - so that's not a bonus (but I use a short old Nokia one, in case I need to sync when I'm out and about).
Hope this helps someone!

Seems these aren't very well made and add very little charge. For £5-£10 you can get something far more useful on Amazon - that won't end up sat in a drawer once you realise you can't be bothered to charge this. This is classic drawer-fodder - just like the Bluetooth telephone receiver I picked up from Poundworld

Horses for courses
I've had one of these for about a year now. Many times it's helped me out when I need just a bit of extra juice.
As long as people who buy it realise it's not meant to re-charge your phone, but when plugged in can give you those vital minutes for calling/texting/Android Paying etc etc.
As has been said previously - what's not to like for a quid?
Quite happy with mine that I bought a couple of weeks ago. Very handy as an emergency top-up and small and light enough to carry around without inconvenience. Cost: £1. What's not to like?
