Mophie Powerstation XXL external battery - 20,000 mAh. Micro USB charging cable, three USB-out ports - 1.0A, 2 x 2.1A.

 

As-new, in original packaging  - all in excellent condition, incl User Guide.

 

This was a gift but I have no use for it and it has been used only 3-4 times. No point just having it sitting around here.

 

According to the box, it will charge devices or add +20 hours running time to a large tablet, +28 hours to a small tablet and +100 hours to a smart phone.

 

$39 incl. postage. Lowest new price appears to be $121.

Interested, but do you know if it will charge a small Laptop (we have a couple of HP X360's)... I can't find anywhere that it will.

My rig: HP Elitebook X360 Lappy with a 2Tb SN850.. woohoo.. I've retired!

Sorry, I don't know - but don't laptops usually require a different voltage to what USB delivers? Laptops also usually use a wall adapter and a barrel-type plug onto the unit itself.

It’s USB-C… I assume a USB-A to USB-C cable would work?

I'm sure that would work physically - but is the laptop's requirement compatible with the 5v 2.1A Mophie output?

 

A quick search indicates that the laptop typically uses a 65W charger.

Also anyone know if 2.1A is the total max output or 2.1A max/USB? Thanks

It won't charge your laptop in any meaningful way, I mean it might trickle charge your laptop overnight.

 

I have one of these but admit have never used it to charge my USB-C laptops. It's great for phones etc but is a bit dated. 

 

I bought a used Goal Zero Sherpa 100PD (65w USB-C output) ages ago exactly for this purpose of charging my laptop when out and about.
