Actually it's 4.2v for the individual cells as they're Panasonic 18650bs, but they're in a set of series and parallel bringing it up to at least 8.4v (they may use higher to cover QC). They'll then use a buck convertor to get the right voltage.
If they calculate Wh using the individual cell voltage it's 84Wh, if they use the true voltage of the cells it's at least 168Wh.
The marketing thing is a bit bs, as 20Ah is ~17Ah at 5v.

I think it is industry practice to consider the capacity in terms of the 3.7V cells rather than the 5V output, classical marketing "overstatement"

In the cabin, only in device batteries are allowed in the hold.
It's a difficult one, because you don't know what voltage they'd use to calculate the Wh. Potentially it could be more than 100Wh.

Just a quick note - if it's exactly 20000mAh you can take it on a plane. 1 mAh more and it may be too large a capacity for airlines, e.g. First Choice.

That is a very interesting comment. Do you know of a link to airlines' policies on this?

humm I thought most uk airlines had a limit of under 100Wh per person for hand luggage as long as its sealed unit.

They are not allowed in hold. Only in hand luggage.

Cancelled my order and will be looking for something smaller around 10000

Not entirely true
British Airways do allow Power Banks up to a certain capacity

Is the 10000mah / 13000mah one the most you can stuff into the jacket without it weighing you down?

I bought a 20000mah one which was ~400g and was too heavy to lug around IMO. Then bought this one: CLICK which is advertised at 240g but it actually weighs over 250g and does not feel that much lighter than the previous one in my bag. Its a shame that capacity is directly proportional to weight

Completely banned to put l-ion in the hold.

You are talking about cabin luggage right? Is there any issue with putting it in the hold luggage?

not got a link i'm afraid, in my case I contacted first choice directly who confirmed to me that 20aH is the maximum allowed powerbank. Could be different for different airlines perhaps.

I have replaced my order of the 20100 with this one. Thanks OP.

Is that RRP another amazon joke is or is it a genuine saving??
Average price about £35 so RRP should be ignored. Anything near £20 for 20000mAh is very good, especially Anker.

its normally jump between £30-40 but they pull the d*ck move of increasing it to £70 two weeks before the sale

Is this better than the 20100 that was on offer on Prime day? I got that one no rush so a few days until it is delivered, wondering if this is better and to cancel the original? Anyone know pluses and minus of both of them?

You can Prime day is over.... price creep on Amazon is on the upward slope :wink:
