We ship to all countries unless there’s battery shipping restrictions (refer to the campaign page under fulfilment) or the following which have been flagged by courier services as restricted or high risk: Belarus, Cote d’Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, North Korea, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Syria & Zimbabwe. If you would like a shipment to any these countries we will make alternative arrangements that may cost more, however we can’t guarantee the shipment’s arrival.

Is there likely to be any manufacturing delays like other crowdfunded projects which have failed to deliver?

Unlike all those other campaigns, we have already paid up front from our own pockets for the tooling cost and produced samples for testing. With the positive response of the final samples we will be able to begin production before the campaign closes with no manufacturing complications. We’ve accounted for potential delays with our expected delivery date and are confident we will deliver on time. We have also ensured we are working with a factory that’s professional and able to meet deadlines.

Return & Exchange Policy (Part 1)

Please note all sales are final. Indiegogo is not able to guarantee that perks will be delivered or deemed satisfactory. The nature of crowdfunding is such that campaigns on Indiegogo are raising funds for work-in-progress projects, ideas, or causes. Contributing to a campaign and claiming a perk on Indiegogo is not the same as buying a product online.

Return & Exchange Policy (Part 2)

There will be no exchanges or returns for change of mind. In the event your product becomes faulty, please email us [email protected] with a description of the issue. Once we assess the issue and are able to determine its a product fault, you’ll be able to pay the $15USD reshipping fee for the product(s). We’ll then dispatch your replacement order straight away. Please note that if an item has been discontinued, we are no longer able to provide warranty on that item.

Shipping Policy

If our shipping provider attempts to deliver to your address and the package is returned because of any of these reasons, there will be a reshipping fee: no-one is available to receive the package, the location is not accessible, you’ve provided the wrong address or you have moved without notifying us before the delivery dispatch.

Does Flash come with a wall charger?

No, as you can already power it at max speed with your existing 100W USB-C wall charger such as the original 15” or 16” Macbook Pro. We also offer one at a discounted rate during the BackerKit survey phase which happens right after the campaign has concluded.

Last updated: July 19, 2021 20:12

Does Flash come with a USB-C to USB-C cable?

No, as it can be charged with any USB-C to USB-C cable. We do recommend using a cable that can support 100W to charge up Flash Pro at it’s max speed. Be warned that most USB-C cables are not designed or rated to handle 100W (20V/5A) and require an E-Mark chip which prevents the circuit from overloading and allows the high power to be reached safely. Our Infinity Cables comes with an E-Mark chip meaning it can be used safely

Last updated: July 19, 2021 20:12

Can Flash charge from empty to full charge in only 1 hr 10 mins?

Yes but please note that this is only achievable when using a 100W input. Anything less will result in a slower charge time. If you don’t currently own items which can achieve this output, we offer a wall charger and our Infinity Cable at a discounted rate during the BackerKit survey phase which happens right after the campaign has concluded.

How should I store Flash Pro when it's not being used?

The optimal conditions to store the flash are as follows: -Store at ~50% of charge, check every few months. -Store in low-temperature storage space ideally at 25°C/ 77°F. We do advise using the Flash Pro every few months to ensure the chemicals in the battery are moving.

Last updated: July 19, 2021 20:12

Can you share Flash Pro's battery chemical structure?

A company’s battery chemical structure is a trade secret which isn’t shared publicly or to most of the company’s staff. One major reason is other companies will copy their technology which is why many leading brands only put li-po on their battery. This stands for “lithium polymer” which means it’s a lithium-ion (li-ion) battery with additives of other special materials.

Do graphene powerbanks already exist?

We are not the first graphene powerbank nor are we claiming to be, you can find a list of other graphene powerbank brands here: https://bit.ly/31naj6B. There are companies in China already selling graphene powerbanks online: https://bit.ly/399ARe3. Flash Pro is unique as it has been specially designed to be able to charge as many devices as possible.

Last updated: July 19, 2021 20:12

How does graphene batteries have such a long battery life cycle?

Without the graphene it’s impossible for li-po batteries to have such a large life cycle as standard li-ion is only 500 cycles before it degrades to less than 80% of original capacity.

VAT & Custom Fees

While we try our best to assist with the prices that are declared, the customer will be responsible for paying all import duties and taxes. These costs are not included in the cost of delivery.

Who designed and manufactured the batteries used in Flash?

The designer of the battery is a pioneer in the electric vehicle space who developed the battery in partership with Pansonic. The designer has not granted our company any rights to or claims to use their graphene batteries in any products- hence it can’t be used in any marketing materials

Can you charge Flash Powerbank from any charger?

We recommend using any charger as long as its strictly a wall charger that’s been plugged directly into the wall socket (with a travel adapter is fine). Charging via a 3rd party device (such as a TV or laptop) can be risky as USB-C protocols may not interact correctly across brands and is a well known issue with USB-C technology as its still fairly new. We cannot be held liable for any damages that occur when Flash Pro is used or charged incorrectly.

Orders will be dispatched to the shipping address provided on your Backerkit Survey

All orders will be dispatched to the address that has been provided to us on your Backerkit survey. If you have recently moved and need to update your address, please ensure your address is updated on Backerkit as updating on Indiegogo does not automatically update on Backerkit. You can also reach out to us and a member of our team can assist you with this: https://support.chargeasap.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

If you’ve received a tracking number and found the tracking to not be activated

If you’ve received a tracking number and found the tracking to not be activated- we would like to reassure you that this is normal. Our shipping agent has advised that due to the special carrier method being used to ship the power banks, the tracking number will not activate until it has reached its destination country. This can usually take around 10 -20days.

My local post is returning my order to sender

If your local postal service makes an unsuccessful delivery attempt due to e.g. outdated address, no one was available to accept the package, they will return the package to us. As there is a penalty fee incurred with the return of your shipment and also the cost of re-sending your delivery as well as most returned packages never making it back to us, a reshipping fee will apply.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
