February 5, 20206 yr great, now more worthless chemicals from worthless stickers from worthless companies producing real pollution for a worthless product. I will then have to look for the other sticker that says, "That other sticker is real and not fake, so buy buy cheap price good luck you buy now."

February 5, 20206 yr I initially read it as over 6v as I associate "power banks" with larger devices. The ones like my wife has are more like power "piggy banks"

Just s little bit off the subject but might help travels with these power banks. I was stopped at check in BKK carrying 2 power banks ..both were well below the legal amp. For travel. But the label on one could not be read so could not prove it was the other was ok. 1 of them I could not travel with ..so if you can't read it don't take it.

OK thanks I think not to batteries inside products--------------- not at all sure what has or has not, these things are all so lightweight these days + sealed so you cannot look inside...... told the chip is halve the size of a SIM card is why so lightweight..
