Power Banks

Cabled and magnetic portable power

A power bank matters on exactly one day, and it is usually a travel day or a long shift. Both types are stocked: cabled USB models that charge anything with the right lead, and magnetic wireless models that clip to the back of a compatible phone.

Choosing a capacity

Around 5,000mAh gives most phones a single full charge. 10,000mAh covers roughly two, and 20,000mAh suits tablets or several days away from a socket. Higher capacity means more weight, so the right answer is the smallest one that covers the gap you actually have.

Flying with a power bank

Power banks must travel in carry-on baggage rather than checked luggage, and airlines set a watt-hour limit worth checking before you fly. That restriction is also why offshore orders take so long to arrive, and why GA Tech NZ holds them locally.

Buying power banks in New Zealand

Stock is held in Queenstown rather than ordered in per sale, so orders placed before the 2pm cut-off dispatch the same working day and reach most New Zealand addresses overnight. Local pickup is available by appointment, and repair shops and resellers can request trade pricing through wholesale deals. Cables and wall chargers to pair with them are under charging accessories.
