Does anyone happen to know how the pass-through function works on the store-brand power banks? A: The internal charger charges the battery whilst the outputs are powered directly from the battery (the battery is under load during this process) B: The internal charger powers both the battery and the outputs simultaneously (the battery is not under load) C: Another variant I’m not yet familiar with

I'm looking for a power bank to charge my iPhone 16, especially when I'm on holiday. The powerbank should not be too heavy, charge relatively quickly and cost less than 50 francs. Thanks for your tips, as I'm simply overwhelmed by the huge selection on Galaxus - despite the filter options ;-).

I have a foldable solar module for travelling from Sistech (Solarflex 5V/10W). It charges my mobile super fast. But when I connect my power bank with 20000mAh (brand unknown) I hardly get any charge. Are there power banks that charge better with less energy? Does anyone have experience with them?

Please add a filter to the PowerBanks to filter according to the "battery technology" such as NiMH / Li-Ion etc.. Cheap PowerBanks often only contain NiMH, which are large and have a high self-discharge rate. Quote from Wikipedia: NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries are characterised by high self-discharge, lower energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries and limited cycle stability. They are prone to inertia effects (similar to the memory effect), are sensitive to high temperatures and deep discharge, and offer a lower current carrying capacity.

I bought various xtorm brand power banks 1-2 years ago, some with solar panels. In the meantime, these no longer charge or charge very slowly. Some of the powerbanks have given up the ghost, the batteries have swelled up and are no longer usable. Chinese scrap - dearly paid for!

The Qi 2.2.1 standard has been available since 2025, which now supports the following: - Higher power output -> Up to 25 W - Magnetic Power Profile 2.0 (MPP) - Improved intelligent energy management - Cross-brand compatibility In short, it's faster, cools better and is even simpler than before. Would be great if Digitec Galaxus offered this as a filter when searching.

Is the Digitec Powerbank 27600 mAh or are there alternatives?

Please indicate which PowerBank complies with the new 3C safety certification (China Compulsory Certification). Please also add a filter for this. Stricter regulations now apply to the carriage of power banks on certain flights. This was triggered by safety problems.

Bloody hell, Digitec - it's not that difficult after all: Now I look at the powerbanks and see 36 of them which, according to your specifications, have a capacity of less than 100 mA. Of course these values are not correct. It would be easy to set limits for certain fields, outside of which a human being (how old-fashioned, I know...) would have to keep an eye on it. But instead there is the possibility that customers will report incorrect values - in which case the adaptation of the software is more worthwhile... With correct data, I would find the filter functions extremely useful, but like this... Maybe the Community can somehow create some pressure? What do you think?

A filter with the charging power in watts would be great!

Hello, Does anyone have any information about the Digitec 15000 mAh, 30 W PowerBank? Would this be connected to the Digitec 30W charger, and can it simultaneously supply power to the second USB-C and USB-A port? The idea is to travel light and very compact, and when a power socket is available, to plug the whole thing in and not have to worry about it until it's full. P.S. the charging time is irrelevant. Thanks in advance 😀

I am looking for a suitable power bank to power a sensor (Sensirion Minion) via a USB connection. Unfortunately, most powerbanks have an automatic standby mode. However, since the sensor has almost no consumption, it automatically switches off the power supply again after a short time. => Is there a powerbank/battery that does NOT go into standby mode and continuously feeds the sensor?

When will the powerbank be back or will it no longer be available?

1

In general, mAh makes little sense, without V you ultimately don't know what power the power bank can deliver.....

It would be cool if the new Anker powerbank 25.000mAh external battery with 3X 100W USB-C ports for multi-device charging power, integrated + retractable cable would come on digitec because you can't buy it in Switzerland.

There are some power banks that you can hang directly on the wall using an AC plug. I find this really practical for holidays, so you don't have to carry an extra mains adapter with you, but have everything in one. Why don't the big manufacturers offer this? When I search online, I only find smaller or noname suppliers.

Which powerbank is better for normal use?

Hello, Is there a powerbank without batteries, where you can put your own 18650 batteries? Thank you for your help!

Which power bank supports charging a Macbook Pro M3 Max 16 inch and a tablet/smartphone via USB-c at the same time?

Hello, I'm looking for a high-quality power bank (maybe even made of metal?) It should have a capacity of around 20,000 mAh and not be a big, heavy block so that I can take it with me everywhere. Is there such a thing?

The Swiss Confederation recommends stocking a power bank with solar or replaceable batteries for emergencies. Solar performs poorly when tested, too hot in the sun, too little charging power. So I want to get a model with replaceable batteries. I found the "GP Batteries BATTERY CHARGER" among the chargers. Does anyone else know of such a device here?

2

Is it possible to filter by whether the power bank is charged via USB-C (instead of micro USB)? I find it difficult to get an overview here.

Hello, Could you tell me which spare chargers have a mains socket to recharge it. Thank you for your help.

What kind of manufacturer is TOP? Where does this manufacturer come from?

I find it amazing that there are thousands of products that are designed solely to charge smartphones, tablets, laptops etc. but no products that can power photo/video/audio devices in parallel. So here is a specification list of what a power bank should have: - 2x USB C output - 2x USB A output - All outputs electrically decoupled from each other to prevent interference from ground loops - ¼" Thread in the housing for direct mounting on camera rigs - > 30 W combined power - PD 3 - QC 3 - No automatic switch-off when the connected devices require a low power supply - Most compact form factor possible - Variants with 10, 15, 20 and 26.8 Ah capacity None of this is electronically exotic, but apparently there is no such thing. If there is, I would be pleased to receive constructive feedback.

What is the difference (apart from price) between 145.- 8.06/1000mAh Dell Power Companion 18000 mAh, 65 W, 65 Wh and 117.- 6.50/1000mAh Dell Power Companion 18000 mAh, 65 Wh

Hello everyone, I am travelling a lot in the mountains and am looking for a mobile battery back up Capacity: 2500-3000mAh Connections: USB-C connection (and USB port) Features: as light and compact as possible and no unnecessary bells and whistles USB port for charging a headlamp and USB-C interface so you don't have to carry a second charging cable. Does anyone have a suitable product or experience? Unfortunately, I can't find anything good. Thank you very much!

I am looking for a power bank that is suitable as an uninterruptible power supply for a Raspi. I have just bought an onit ( https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/onit-powerbank-20000-mah-pd-20000-mah-20-w-74-wh-powerbank-36940104 ) which is supposed to support pass-through charging and, according to information from another supplier, is suitable as a UPS. Unfortunately, no luck. When connecting/disconnecting the power bank to the power supply, the power supply is briefly interrupted, which the Pi does not like. I also have the impression that the output voltage is lower when the power bank is plugged in. But I haven't measured it yet. Does anyone have a tip for a power bank that has been proven to work as a UPS? I want to be able to operate a portable media player with it.

I need a powerbank with 12V DC output, would there be alternatives to the Sandberg 20'000mAh for 106CHF? By the way, I think it would be smart to filter by 12V DC outputs instead of redundant USB designations or charging technology designations.
