A high capacity power bank with a useful display and the cheapest in the approx 20,000mAh capacity group. I tested the capacity and it is good, coming in at 50.37Wh, putting it at over twice my 10,050 mAh PowerAdd unit which came in at 22Wh. Bear in mind all power banks have some degree of energy loss to conversion and some fudging of the stated capacities I'm sure.
It's display can show the percentage remaining, and when devices are plugged in, the total Amps and Voltage. Useful to know how fast your devices are charging and a rudimentary test for cable quality, as poor quality cables will cause a low amperage. It won't show how fast the power bank itself is being charged however.
Its got a built in LED torch, which would last days if not weeks on the capacity I imagine. :grin: One quirk I've noticed is that the 0-5% of the power bank takes the longest to charge, and also to discharge. So I think the calibration is a bit off, but that is where a lot of the capacity lies.
My test from 100%:

You're welcome, sane4sure. Sorry Wilzia, I'm not sure whats going on, I got free delivery on Prime. :thinking: livefortheweekends, if you are asking if it has the proprietary fast charging technologies like QuickCharge, PumpExpress or so on, it doesn't as far as I know. I don't have any high drain devices, but I managed to pull 1.6A off it with an LED lamp. It may well deliver more but my phones don't go higher than that.

Thanks op. Pretty good value for money and good reviews. Purchased as a spare. Heat!

Good reviews? 2 of the six didn't get what they ordered and one of the remaining "reviews" sounds far too good to be true. A person could be forgiven for thinking it (and most of that individual's other 5* reviews) were - let's say - a little on the optimistic side

Grabbed a couple. Had to add a 22p nut (cheapest thing I could find) to get me over £20. If they indeed have 8x2600mAh LG cells in then it's cheaper than you could buy the cells alone.

Quick update, mine turned up this morning. It is the 20800mAh version! Thanks OP!!!!

Same here, got mine today. 20800mAh version, crystal clear LCD with backlight and percentage charge, 3 USB ports and nice soft-touch finish casing. Amazing value for the money and doesn't seem to have skimped on quality despite the keen price.
Also came with padded drawstring case and micro-USB cable!
Plugged a few devices in and the LCD will even tell you what voltage it's putting out (mine's reporting 5.2V), the current (around 1.2A for a nearly charged phone) or the percentage charge left if you press the power button (it changes screen).
