Hey there guys, I just saw this on 1-day, do you reckon this is a good buy? I can't find reviews on it. Does using a powerbank damage the battery of your phone?

Crikey that sold fast. And I was looking for that too.

As well as my credit card so I could buy it :(
Credit card is still missing, and this is hour 6. All of these 1 day deals I'm missing.

Damage is unlikely if it adheres to USB specifications, and you use the power bank to charge devices that need charging. I'd be more concerned about damage from the power bank not charging its internal batteries correctly.

Was it a good buy? It seems to be just another cheap power bank, and you will find many on AliExpress etc., including shipping, with equivalent specifications*, for much less.

* Manufacturer rated.

I recently purchased a Soshine E3 to use with my 18650 batteries. The four batteries, which test close to their stated 2,600mAh rating, cost more than the power bank, so don't get your hopes up for real 15,000mAh at that price.
