Asda do one as well that works like a charm, same price so if you've not got an aldi near you that's another option. It's down in the entertainment section

No mate sorry it's in store made by Quby model number PB2200BLU I think the BLU part is the colour as mines blue. It's a 2200mah 3.7v and called Power Bank, that's all the info I have and taken from the bottom of the unit. Great battery life and gives almost a full charge on my blackberry z30 phone ! Maybe Google search ?

I really wish retaillers would list output currents on these. A 1A powr bank would be useful, a 500mA not bad, a 100mA...useless.

yes, quite IN all fairness virtually all the ones I looked at on ebay did list the i/o specs. With the likes of the Aldi one you would hope it's on the outside of the packaging so you can see before you buy....

you can get empty ones on ebay, that takes 4 x 18650's in parallel. They are made for you to put your own batteries in, so are super cheap because you are not paying for some unknown batteries.
Why did I buy one? because we have lots of 18650 batteries...we are vapers! I can now put in my trusted batteries...
son uses one often..if it is flat, he comes to my nitecore charger and grabs another 4 batteries....and because they are in parallel, if he only wants a bit of juice he can just chuck in one battery (panasonic ncr18650b are 3400mah each)..or if he intends to go somehwere he can put in 2..or 3..or 4 batteries as needed.

Bonus marks for me was that in a pinch, we can use it as another battery charger for our 18650 cells.

i dug out my ebay history, this is not from the same seller, but features and looks are the same, so I'll guess it is the same product
under £5...takes 4 x 18650's...or 1 x or 2x or 3x..you decide.
1a and 2a output..etc

If out and about and my mobile phone gets a bit deaded, then as long as I have either the MVP2 or MVP3, then I can easily bring the phone back to life again.
