Great to hear! Mine arrives Friday, but I did receive this one today from the same seller, also with the Volador name printed on it:

Another cheap meter—- I got one — because that’s what I do —- buy things I don’t need

Funny, they have a “worklight” option and one of the images spells military as “”militery”:https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Dmc4k7T5L.*AC_SL1500*.jpg”. They show a 20% coupon, so I take it this other coupon is applied on top? Is that from Vipon?

Sometimes coupons stack and other times they don’t. Plug it in your cart and see.

The coupons indeed stack bring the price to $8.38 for me , However there aren’t any positive reviews for this model . So I am not sure if I should buy .

Received my PowerExtra 300w Power bank today. Arrived in perfect condition and brand new, not some customers return. It had about 54% charge on it,
which seems about right for shipping. I gave it a very careful test before charging it. All inputs/outputs work perfectly. The cigarette lighter input is not regulated,
so when the power bank was at 54% charge, the output power was reading only about 10.52v, which should not be a surprise. The 72w charging brick it came with
is doing a good job recharging it The A/C outlets don’t grab the 3-prong a/c cords as tight as I’d like, but it’s fine. The manual clearly states the output wave is Pure Sine,
so I’m really happy about that. I don’t recall the sales page on Amazon mentioning that. I’m still going to be careful with it for a while yet to make sure it remains
in good working condition, but so far, for $32.00 delivered, it’s a smoking deal (No Pun Intended)

Just a couple of photos for you.

Interesting, a XHP70.3…
Still for $10.50, I may have to give it a try…

I bought a couple of these shops lights —Last night I decided to try one out in the driveway —- I blinded myself from the reflection off of my white van —- I kept seeing the image of all those LEDs — this thing is stupid bright

I’m afraid of it. Also their math about 10000 mah is wrong.

It’s 2x5000mAh, as 2x26650 cells. Just over $10 is terribly inexpensive… which speaks volumes about the flashlight. I wouldn’t trust those 26650 cells, as they must be some sort of $1 cheapie in there. Not going to trust that built-in charger either!

ok.
it is Target.
$8, usually $42.
abundant parts bins.

“Out of stock.”
“Out of stock.”
“Cannot be shipped to your location.”
“Not available for delivery”

Ie, nuttin’.

What’s their deal?

They’re claiming 10000 mah but 2 series cells don’t double the capacity, only the voltage. Not a big misstatement but I still wouldn’t trust them.

The quotes below are from two of the Amazon reviews for this light and imply the cells are in parallel which would double the mAh capacity:

I am not purchasing this light, but reading the reviews was interesting.

The pictures show them in series.

Yea it comes with a big double length battery that’s supposedly two cells in parallel. But it also will work with two bare cells in series. I guess it can handle both voltages then? Decoding crappy product listings is a fun part of this hobby.
