Baseus Portable Laptop Charger, 65W Power Bank, 30,000 mAh (114 Wh)

[@smunaut]

Really love the efficiency testing (both charge / discharge) to get the actual usable capacity. That's missing in a lot other reviewers of power bank even though it's a critical stat ...

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks, good to hear that is useful!

[@macktheinterloper]

I've had this power bank for the last two years. I've been using it primarily as a backup for my mountain bike lights, which eat through their batteries in a little over 2 hours and need something to piggy back off of. It's been solid in charging my other devices, too. It hasn't let me down yet, though it can be finicky and temperamental when there are several devices attached . As you said, there are probably more efficient power banks out there now, but for raw capacity, I think this is still king - at least in its price range.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I think even weight to capacity is better on this one. Good to hear you’ve got one going for that long!

[@adfjasjhf]

5:37 There is an always on output voltage. You need to keep holding the power up button for few seconds until a letter L appears on the display. That means the output is locked and allows to power up even low powered devices. You need to turn it off manually by holding the power button again. I bought this powerbank couple of weeks ago and I can confirm that this works as expected. Some people already mentioned this in the comments.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks!

[@marvlb]

You covered all the important specs that all the other reviewers neglected.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It's a battery, I'd say I'm covering the bare minimum.

[@alextruong27]

I remember 3 years ago now I’ve first heard about GaN chargers on kickstarter (hyperjuice 100w) and got so excited and pledge (paid on kickstarter) for them! Heard bad reviews so I removed the pledge. A few months later I heard about the Baseus 120W! Immediately pledge for them and received it 4months later. Back then there weren’t many GaN chargers on the market. When I received the 120W, I coil whine was definitely making me angry lol but I still used it daily for almost 3 years. Now I was going to get the Baseus 100W as you recommend but I felt like I wanted portability and I now don’t need more than 65W at a time (went from xp15 to macbook air m2) so I went with their new 65W “GaN pro 5” (which you haven’t reviewed yet I believe) According to the reviews, the size of the pro 5 is different from the prior models, but I don’t know about their performance, but it shouldnt be amazingly better. Anyways, story aside, I’ve looked and researched many GaN chargers these past 3 years I felt like I was crazy to be so interested in power adapters… but glad to see that I’m not alone 😅 Thank you for your videos keep it up! I’m learning new things about them and it’s super interesting.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for watching and for sharing. Also, I don’t think you are alone with that story, the marketing is confusing and no one states efficiency or features clearly enough or at all. I’ve heard of the gan5 devices but I haven’t been able to buy one yet. Mostly they improved power sharing when using multiple ports. I think the power converters are identical. When I looked at the gan3 versus gan2 65w the gan3 actually got a bit worse efficiency wise. I will have to check out if that improved for the gan5 stuff

[@Day100]

Mine cracked its enclosure after 1 year and 2 months from battery expansion. It held strong with cables ripped out of it, being dropped often from 3-4 ft, and getting hit with sweat from constant gym and work. I often fell asleep before swapping to my wall and it did good. I really want to buy it again but i want to test the waters. I just wish there was a good company with a good and honored warranty.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, that's actually good it lasted that long with the drops and exposure but also the battery should never expand like that. Scary stuff. Yeah, warrantee claims are tough. From comments Anker seems to be one of the better responders to claims.

[@liberdelta]

Great review. Good to see someone actually testing the capacity and any fault points. Most techtubers just take the specs for granted. Most think 30000mah = 30000mah with no understand about conversion which I find terribly annoying. Not sure whether i need one but please the reviews up.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks! Yeah, it is valid but it’s not complete.

[@ryanwwest]

So basically if you want plane travel you have to cross out all options that are >100Wh... Annoying, but makes it easy to rule this one out. Would love to see a ranked list of best power banks that can go on a plane (after you've reviewed a substantial number of banks, of course).

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yep, limit of 100wh. That’s why even big laptops don’t have batteries any bigger than that. Building up the list of power banks is the plan. Like power adapters. Slowly build up the list so I can get some good benchmark of where the market is.

This powerbank is different than the one I got. I got mine 3 days ago and I have 3 orange ports and you only have 1. And the display is bright and has no issue being seen. I also noticed that the stickers and the stats printed on the bottom of the power bank is different than yours and also I don't have any Chinese writing on anywhere. I think you got a older version of this power bank and there's newer ones you should of got and tested. Return this back to seller and buy the newer one. Oh and I paid 77$ CAD for mine that's about 57$ USD (purchased from AliExpress from their direct store.)

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I've had mine for about 6 months. I wanted to make sure it lasted a little longer before making the video. It functions per the claims just fine. I do have the Chinese market version. No idea how I ended up with that one.

@@AllThingsOnePlace I'm just saying the few complaints you did have the new one doesn't have those problems. The newer one has 3 fast charge ports. The screen is bright and readable in any lighting. The screen doesn't shut down when charging or discharging. It took me less than an hour to fully charge my powerbank. It came with 8 stickers instead of 4. No chinese writing anywhere. 100W cable.

Yeah, for that price the value becomes pretty unstoppable.

[@nathanvanlieshout7834]

I got this for $85 AUD or $59 USD. It charges fast in comparison to every other power bank I've had, and can charge my laptop while using it, which is nice. I find the bubble thing to be horrible looking but is easy to see unless in sunlight. It's way to big for carrying around but handy around the house. Value for money is definitely there. According to my charging cable, it was charging around 60W

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Nice! That is good to hear. I'd still call it portable power versus luggable power, ha.

[@Dragons952]

I would like to point out as of now that I checked the TSA website. There is a separate section for “Lithium batteries with more than 100 watt hours”. It does say “With airline approval, passengers may also carry up to two spare larger lithium ion batteries (101-160 Wh) or lithium metal batteries (2-8 grams). This size covers the larger after-market extended-life laptop computer batteries and some larger batteries used in professional audio/visual equipment. There is a limit of two spare batteries per person for the larger lithium ion batteries described above (101-160 watt hours per battery.” It’s still good to follow the 100 watt hours rule though; as anymore becomes dependent on the different airlines.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, getting permission for a work related professional and properly rated battery pack is probably easier too. Saying I want to take my $50 consumer grade power bank because I want to probably should get rejected from entering the skies.

[@ykkorol]

It has low output mode, but you need to turn in on by long pressing a power button. "L" letter will appear on a screen. To turn it off, long press power button again

My experience with this power bank was very bad, maybe I was unlucky. After only two cycles of charging and discharging, it suddenly died. It does not get charged or charge a device at all anymore. The display is also dead. For such a price tag, these charging sessions have been the most expensive ones for me! :/

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

That's terrible. Thank you for commenting. I don't know why the quality control has to be so bad. I don't think Baseus makes anything, they contract everything out, so the issue comes from whoever is making these in a particular week may do better or worse and proper inspections aren't being done.

[@sskrupsky]

Thanks for the review. If you press and hold the button for a few seconds PB goes into low power mode and than you can charge low power devices without disconnecting them in sleep mode. Few words about charging. Maybe your instance charges too slowly but it seems it depends on a particular instance of this PB (which is not good for their quality control)

[@arizonawatermelon123]

I watched this and the 100w Baseus Power bank video you did. Which would you suggest for laptop charging? My use case is just to get that bit of extra life when I’m on the go cause my laptop only last 3-4hours. I’m assuming the 100w charges much faster but the trade off is less # of device recharges. Is there a big difference in device (laptop) charging between the 65w and 100w model?

[@arizonawatermelon123]

From what I understand the trade off is: quicker device charge time but less # of charges OR slower device charge time but less # of charges. I’d be using the powerbank while actively using the laptop so it might make more sense to go for the 100w model.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The 65W power bank here is a much bigger battery versus something like the blade so in either case it will offer more charges. The blade offers 100w charging if you really need it for a quick top up, those 100W packs won't hold that power output for the a full discharge. It all comes down to the device. My laptop is 65W rated and it is perfectly happy on any port 65W or more. It won't use more than that though so any of these larger power banks work fine for some extended run time.

[@nathanaelhatch8927]

I've been using this charger for a couple years now. The very first one I had developed a bulge from normal use after 8 months but worked perfectly. After tearing it down I could see that one of the three cells was swollen. They sent me a replacement under their warranty and the replacement seems to be showing the exact same symptoms. The bulge is almost unnoticeable by eye. I have to out it on a flat surface to see the gaps. While they seem to keep working fine I'm concerned about two in a row showing swollen cells in under a year.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, that is the issue with this power bank especially. I don't know why Baseus does a good job sometimes and such a bad job sometimes, oh wait, they use numerous contractors to make these things, no way to establish good quality control, which is unfortunate because the products are good when they work.

I know the steam deck can be a bit tricky to charge, my go to for compact charging is the evatronic 60W, it's inexpensive and up to 60 watts, but I am not sure if it can charge the steam deck (or more likely charge while being used I think is the larger challenge).

This might be a dumb question but why cannot we charge phones through 65W type-c output (or Baseus Blade's 100W type-c output)? I mean, some phones are capable of juicing 100-120W out of wall chargers. Why this is not the case for these powerbanks?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It is partially in the electronics and then partially in the capacity of the battery, but these larger banks can be pushed to high wattages, the Anker 737 can do 140w continuously but it comes with a price also. Phones aren't going to implement that technology reasonably for a long time though. The phones that charge at 100 or 120W use proprietary technology. It is difficult for Anker or Baseus to implement one plus's technology for charging for example. This also means the chargers from the proprietary brands don't work with other devices. 100W into a phone battery will only be for a limited amounts of time, basically it'll overheat, then drop down to sane charging speeds.

I have one similar to that (the 20Ah one) and I'm not really liking it either because of inconsistencies with the PD charging negotiation with my Motorola phone.

But it charges my laptop at 65W so it's alright. Next one is gonna be from another brand for sure.

Tomorrow I'm getting my baseus 65W unit, and I thought I'd ask you how can I test it and produce a constant 65W charge (without buying any expensive fancy equipment) and measure its actually capacity to see whether I received a good unit?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The most accurate one is probably the Power Z (charger lab) power meter. You can plug it into a computer to log the energy transfer and power level. That is around $100. There are heaps of less expensive options, search for "USB energy meter", then you need a PD trigger board ,search for "USB PD Decoy", then some kind of "DC electronic load" that can cover the wattage you need. Note the AC-DC power supplies that come with the cheap load testers are dangerous and really bad, I usually swap that out right away. Then a good USB cable (short and low resistance). So, 4 pieces.

[@tyronewalker5764]

Damn, I almost brought this thing. Have reviewed any units by Romoss (60W)?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I haven't yet but they are definitely on the list.

[@AAVSOtube]

Please do the GoalZero Sherpa AC , great videos!! I have a Sherpa AC and have been using it everyday with MS Surface and phone. Would love to see your analysis of it!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for the suggestion. $300 for the new one!! Maybe I'll do the little one first, ha.

[@Mayosup]

Can you review the 100W and 140W IDMIX GaN chargers?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The 140w has a video already (it’s with a bunch of other PD 3.1 chargers). I don’t think I’ve done the 100w yet.

[@abowden5079]

I have this powerbank, when plug into my laptop over usb-c its only outputting 20v 2amp. Any idea why? The laptop is capable of charging at 100w over the usb-c, as confirmed by using a 100w usb-c wall charger. For some reason the powerbank is hardcapping at 2.0 amps. The digital screen on powerbank stays pegged at 2.0amp outputting. It should be able to go up to 3.25amp though, any idea if this is a laptop fault for only 'requesting 2amp' from the powerbank in the first place, or a powerbank issue that its only outputting a max of 2.0 for some reason?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, not sure. I had no issue getting the full 65W out of the power bank on the USB C port. I could ONLY be using the USB C port though. Nothing else plugged in.

[@h62628]

I dont understand USB A ports, how does Xiaomi do 67w charging from that port, i tried other cables and they max at 18w its something specific to their cable and charger?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

They use Quick Charge, which uses a more basic communication method versus USB PD, which uses an extra pin on USB C connectors.

[@natanuzan]

Thank you!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

You're welcome!

[@chaoyizhang2360]

Can you do a review on ZMI No.20 power bank? I had both, but I think this one is much better than baseus one.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, that one has been on the list for a while. It is certainly on the way, it is also under a few other brands so not sure the ZMI specifically will be the one.

[@fynderde]

Great Video, thank you! I would love to see a test of the INIU BI-B63 25000mah 65W power bank. It's price point seems to be pretty good and with 25000mah it is also able to fly.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thank you for the suggestion! I will have to check that out. I have a bunch of Iniu stuff to get on the channel.

[@brookerobertson2951]

had one and it lasted abot 10 weeks.. charged it with a HP type c laptop charger that had all the protocols and is HQ. and the powerbank tried to charge to fast and died.. sad times

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, that's too bad. I think there are a lot of power banks that are in that category. I have the new Anker 200W one to try out, 20k mah battery and 200 watt output, we will see how that goes.

[@gwnnandoz8548]

Great review. Im getting this powerbank for 40 euro. (Around 40 usd). Would you recommend it for that price?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, that seems very inexpensive for the amount of energy you get.

[@dinuargatu9081]

Is this better than blade?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I prefer the blade myself.

[@iamian15]

Thanks for the review. Have any one tried using Samsung device on this? Does ultra fast charging works? The review said that he isnt sure if it is implemented

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I haven't, I actually don't own anything except the PD triggers that use PPS. More things I need to get...

[@iamian15]

No pressure. We are grateful for covering niche powerbanks like this. Hoping you get bigger someday.

[@Yigitcanakkas]

Your channel is amazing, this is what i have been looking for, i was trying to do something similar with my cheap usb meter and you do it fully professional way :) Can you please do ideaplay 28000 mah 65w powerbank? Its similar to this baseus one. I did some testing on my own but i would love to see something professional :) Thank you again!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for the suggestion. I added it to the list (it's a long list).

[@ToufiqMustafiz]

By charging it with a 65watt charger charges within 3 hours. But the pb got heated after 33/40% and stopped charging to cool down. Also my device does not disconnect when charging via type c and discharging via other ports. Overall a decent device, best you can get in bangladesh respect to price and performance

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yep, it’s okay as a power bank. The premature failures are the issue I’ve seen.

[@ridoy2261]

How much will it cost in Bangladesh brother?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

@@ridoy2261 I have no idea!

[@Ender_Wiggin]

I think it was becuase the shargeek was last on the poll.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I had someone say I just picked the first one. Anyway, the Shargeek will be the next one. I also have a bunch of other power banks tested and the rating system more or less figured out so can finally rank them too.

[@handlenameistaken]

Charges my steamdeck twice so its okay. Quite heavy but it's good to have when you're far from an outlet.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Nice, yeah, it is a bigger capacity power bank too so weight is somewhat expected.

[@Siimization]

Question to Dell XPS owners. Can you charge your XPS with this power bank? Regular 65w Baseus wall charger works perfectly with my XPS but 65w Baseus power bank doesn't charge. But charging anything else without problems.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I wish Dell, HP, Lenovo would set a better example by just telling people what charging protocol their products use, even the user manuals just says use supplied charger... there are so many XPS models. The method I use is a USB trigger cable to barrel connector to make it work. Sometimes, the USB negotiation gets weird on these things.

[@Siimization]

@@AllThingsOnePlace I have solution. I bought a Baseus 8in1 USB-C Hub and through that PD port my battery bank is charging Dell XPS

[@StonerSquirrel]

I ordered one, and if it burst into flames, I'll let you know.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Haha. Okay. Keep an explosion containment pie dish near by.

[@justsl2]

Can you confirm that if you can use all 5 output ports at the same time? If so, what is the output of each port? I'm hoping it's 45w(Type-C) + 18w(Type-A QC) + 15w(Type-A) + 15wType-A) +15wType-A)

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It will not supply that much power. The USB A ports all drop to 5V only and share and the PD port drops also.

[@luismorante1]

Mine never demiver 65W and an L appear in the screen. What does it mean?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The 'L' indicates low power mode. Hold the power button until that goes off.

[@michaelsrowland]

Can a 21 watt portable solar panel recharge this ?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I don't see why not. It will take a long time.

[@michaelsrowland]

@AllThingsOnePlace no I have done research and it will take a 100 watt panel to charge a 65 watt Power bank

[@ernestchew88]

Please review the Xiaomi powerbanks. Seems good value for money if the power and efficiency claims are accurate.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Sounds like something to check out for sure!

[@didr4907]

I’ve been whooping the life out one of those for 2 years now with no problem. If you long hold the button you can get it to stay on for those low consumption devices.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for sharing!

[@mennopieters3512]

Please check the romoss powerbanks

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for the suggestion, on the list.

[@KrisKantzos]

Which output is better to charge the powerbank itself guys?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It's a large battery so it can handle larger power inputs fine.

[@sohrab7922]

In your opinion, what is the best power bank with a capacity of 30,000 ?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

No idea! I have to get a lot more power banks tested. I'd say not this one at this time, ha. Mine still works fine but I don't use it a lot in all fairness.

[@Emalo]

So they are saying that i can't charge my pixel 6a with this power bank? absurdity, what happened to old power banks where you could just plug and charge device no matter what model or manufacturer it is

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

This will charge any phone. It will only use the 5V mode while it does so in most cases. It may not charge it with a fast mode or at the fastest possible rate.

[@Emalo]

@AllThingsOnePlace ohh okay, got you, thanks for the information. 👍

[@JohnDoe-ve6mf]

Honesty I prefer if you pick the devices you think is the best or has more value, since most people watching your vids probably have no clue what they voted (i voted baseud lol)

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah. It was just an experiment but I agree with you. Now that I got another power bank out it’ll be easier to get going on more them.

[@godtonnam9813]

Can you test Baseus 30w power bank plz.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for the suggestion, I added it to the list. I need to organize the list.

[@splarv]

How to remove this blue glass?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Good question no idea

[@Yeasir.AraFath]

you should try USAMS 30000mAh 65W powerbank

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@MrShaka1221]

I charge my iPhone 14 from empty to full charge. The power bank went from 100 percent to 77. Is this normal?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

For a power bank this size, yes, that sounds about right.

[@MrShaka1221]

Thanks!

[@eugene4350]

Nice video like usual. I think I'll stick to my Insignia 100WHr power adapter (26800mAh advertised) that does 35W PDin 65W PDout on one USBC port w/ 2 legacy ports. USB-IF certified so a bit happier with that. Paid $18 for it w/ a BB $10 certificate from my fridge purchase.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Nice! Yeah, I have two Insignia power banks I got on special to review too.

[@eugene4350]

@@AllThingsOnePlace heck yeah！

[@AnIn-xc4cv]

Pisen pro powerlap 30000 65W vs baseú blade 100W 20.000 vs Baseus Amblight Power Bank 30000 mAh, 65W, which one I should buy when my laptop is 450G8 HP 45Wh, 3 cells, 11,4V and the adapter provides 19.5V with 3.33A. My target is to use the longest life for each charge thank you

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The 30,000 mah packs are going to last longer when being used because they have more energy stored in them. The Blade honestly won't do 100 watts all the time anyway so really considering that the 30k mah packs are going to give the longest life for each charge. I haven't tested the Pisen so not sure how much it actually provides for an output. The Baseus I tested was an older model, but, guessing the newer version isn't that much different.

[@TheMightsparrow]

Is the Anker 737 any good?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It is pretty good. Get it on sale though.

[@royce321]

Another micro USB port, I miss my ravpower that stopped working :( It's hard to find an affordable bank that charges and releases on the same c port!

[@adalbert93_75]

Try GreenCell :)

[@eugene4350]

Insignia (Bestbuy In-house) had a 65W PDout 35W PDin 100WHr USB-IF certified power bank for only $30 a while ago

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I will be checking that one out. But yeah, I agree that it is difficult to find reasonable priced power banks with better USB chipsets. Capacity is easy but then most of them charge/discharge too slow.

[@شافيانشيفت]

please make a video on aohi 30000mah powerbank

It's in the video.

[@ToxicTeemoOCE]

There is no problem with taking this on a plane, all they look at is the mwh on the bank. 30,000 mwh is fine.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It does depend on the airline, but there is a good chance if they check this will not be allowed unless you have a medical reason or pre-check this in as it is above the 100 Wh they state in the FAA rules.

[@ToxicTeemoOCE]

​@@AllThingsOnePlace Fair enough, the airlines I have flown with have only mentioned a mah limit, not a Wh limit.

Is this a good powerbank? How's the review?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It is okay.

[@BhandarkarV]

@ 5:37 you mentioned about the device not having an always on low power mode but it does have LP mode. I use to have one of these and had same issue to charge my AirPods. Looked online and found this video to how to turn it on.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGOto6iYmJWta5Y

Thanks!

[@arczarcz7225]

mine bloated, what my be the reason?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I'm not sure but it is known to happen with lithium cells. I think it has a lot to do with charging circuits. I've had plenty of very high end equipment and laptops regularly turn lithium ion cells into footballs.
