Powerbank

I thought the cable would be cheap but I just got back from Tesco and the cable was £10 - £15 depending on brand. Needless to say, I didn't buy one.

It's a shame the car doesn't have a power port, only wireless charging which my phone doesn't have.

I ordered a cable for £1.19 on EBay so hopefully that will do the trick.

It sounds faulty to me. I've charged 2 different phones with the built-in lead. It was at least 50% charged on arrival. I agree that the instructions are poor, but pressing the button does indicate how charged the device is. I seem to recall that a light shows during charging too. I've charged it with a separate lead with no problem.

Great News!

My USB'c' to USB'c' lead arrived today so I plugged in the power bank and it worked first time to charge the phone, all the way form 83% to 100% with no issues.

Quite pleased that the powerbank works and will do the job it needs to do - certainly saves the inconvenience of having to return a faulty device.

Possibly, it should also work to charge with the built in lead, but I can get around that not working and the powerbank is a budget device so easier to just use it as it is and it does not seem to be a bother.
