Additionally, it offers support for a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, handheld consoles, drones, wireless headphones, and even Apple’s Vision Pro headset.

    Bit overpriced, I got a bunch of the PINENG PN-877 65W USBC built in cable 20,000mAh for the equivalent of ~$30 while in Asia. Too bad we don't have the same choice here, Guessing Tariffs are likely to blame.

    Granted this is ANKER and you are getting 100W (Just going to drain it faster). The powerbank I listed are TSA friendly as well (just can't carry more than 1 of them depending on the airline you are using).

    I just traveled round trip with an Anker 40,000mAh power bank and the TSA didn't care. Delta's website says the limit is 160Wh

    you are only at 148watt hours at 40,000mAH as that is based on 3.7V (They do it for marketing)
    Watt-hours (Wh) = Milliamp-hours (mAh) * Voltage (V) / 1000
    So 40000*3.7/1000 = 148
    you have another 12 you could go.

    I agree, but Anker just had an awful recall of power banks due to fire hazards.

    But at least, Anker acknowledged the issue, and released an official guide to identify the faulty batch and recalled them. Good luck finding the same treatment on un known brands.

    But, that "PINENG" brand might be famous in Asia and trustworthy, and might do the same thing if they figured out an issue. It just happen to be unknown in the rest of the world. In my region we have many Air Condition units that are reliable and trusted even though no one in EU or US know anything about them. And they're made in China, just like iPhones.

    It all depends on if TSA looks at it, TSA is mostly for show. They seem more concerned about someone with a little bit more shampoo than is allowed.

    The rule is the airline must allow it if it is over 100wh. TSA doesn't know which airline you are using so they could be jerks and require that you show them paperwork from the airline.

    You can generally tell by the physical size.

    The one I have is just under the 100wh rating limit. It cost less than the one reviewed/advertised here and it can jump start my car which is actually why I have it.
