Why It’s So Hard to Get High-Capacity Power Banks in Ireland 🇮🇪 (And Why We Actually Have Them)
If you’ve ever tried to buy a 30,000mAh, 50,000mAh or 120,000mAh power bank in Ireland, you already know the pain 😅. Most shops only sell the same small 10,000mAh yokes that barely get your phone through the day. It’s frustrating, especially if you actually rely on your devices for camping or travel.
You check Amazon..
“Sorry, this item can’t be shipped to your address.” 😅
You check Currys? Same handful of tiny chargers they’ve been selling for years. 😅
It’s not your imagination.. high-capacity power banks just don’t make it into Ireland the way they should. And it’s not down to lack of demand. It’s because of how larger lithium batteries are handled in Europe ⚠️.
The Real Reason High-Capacity Power Banks Don’t Make It Into Ireland
Big lithium batteries are classed as dangerous goods 🚫. Once a power bank goes above a certain size (usually around the 27,000mAh+ mark), most EU couriers treat it like a headache rather than a product.
That leads to:
- Couriers refusing to ship large lithium batteries by air ✈️
- EU warehouses avoiding high-capacity stock due to paperwork
- Retailers sticking to small units they can move easily
- Amazon outright blocking many large power banks from Irish delivery
So most shops simply go:
“Ah, sure look… we’ll just stick to the small ones.” 😂
That’s why you rarely see 30,000mAh, 50,000mAh or 120,000mAh power banks in Ireland. You end up with “emergency-sized” chargers instead of the real thing.
Why PowerBanks.ie Isn’t Stuck in That Trap
