"They were jazzed about this new 20,000mAh, 22.5W fast charge power bank because of their single-focused obsession -- weight. Also: The best power banks: Expert tested and reviewed At 10.1 ounces (286 g), this beat the and by a few grams. In the ultralight hiking community, a few grams mean everything. Combine that with a $25 price tag and the cute Haribo branding -- it has a fake gummy bear on it! -- and the product went somewhat viral."
"The celebrations might have been premature, as a Reddit user who placed an order for the candy-branded power bank received a message from Amazon stating that their order had been canceled due to a "potential safety or quality issue." Interestingly, a few days ago, I saw that Lumafield had got their hands on one and shoved it into their Neptune CT scanner, and they noticed that the cell pouches in the unit they tested were poorly aligned, and this resulted in a wavy structure inside the battery."
Haribo released a 20,000mAh, 22.5W fast-charge power bank that attracted attention for its unusually low weight among ultralight hikers. The unit weighs 10.1 ounces (286 g), costs about $25, and features Haribo-branded design with a gummy bear motif. Amazon canceled some customer orders citing a "potential safety or quality issue." Imaging performed by Lumafield using a Neptune CT scanner showed poorly aligned cell pouches producing a wavy internal structure in the tested unit. The cause of order cancellations remains uncertain; possibilities include internal cell alignment defects or regulatory and certification issues. Amazon has not provided comment.
