Bought this power bank in 2009 and recently found it in my old hiking backpack. Once I found a USB mini cable to charge it (mini USB…that’s how old this thing is), it’s back in business.
It’s only 2000 mAh so will only partially charge my phone but it works great with a USB lamp or topping up my Meshtastic node.
This kind of thing happens all the time - companies think they’re the best thing ever and refuse to see the benefit in a new product. Kodak went out of business because they didn’t think digital cameras were any good.
Yep blockbuster and online services comes to mind as well
