Disposable PowerBank (One Time Single Use Charger) - This will trigger the ecologists!

In this video I take a look at an ecological disaster - a DISPOSABLE powerbank. It's a power bank you use just once to charge your phone and then you trash it. Yes, a plastic box with a battery and a circuitboard trashed after single use. On the top of it, the capacity is very low and it gives my phone only 22% charge! I would have to use 5 such chargers to charge my smartphone fully. This one costs $ 2.20, so just one full charge would cost me $ 11! That's just awesome. It seems that the battery inside is rechargeable, but the powerbank is designed as a one time device just to make more money, with absolutely no respect for the environment.
This one has a universal plug that fits both iPhones and micro USB phones (Android). It says the capacity is 1000 mAh, but a lot is being lost in the converters. It gives my 2600 mAh phone battery a 22% more charge, which is 572 mAh only.
Trying to recharge it and measuring the capacity of the cell here:

Dawello ! Because it's a one use battery that charges your phone once? There's a difference between something that you immediately throw out and something that you keep for years. I own a lithium power bank I'm not stupid. But a >>ONE USE

[@briliankamil4594]

well whats the diffrent with normal batteries? they are diaposable too?? it just feels like you buy some new kind of disposable batteries..

[@RealCheesyBread]

CloudPixel but those topically aren't made from lithium which is highly toxic but also highly useful and important. It is not very abundant compared to other metals either. Plus here you are also wasting plastic and a charge circuit. These and those lithium AA batteries are a waste of a resource that needs to be conserved for more important tasks such as battery banks that can be used hundreds of times over.

[@rethish24]

Best thing on the charger is the connector pin to charge iPhone/Android phones.

[@BillAnt]

It's a nifty hybrid charging port, but not sure how safe or reliable it might be. Too much crap crammed into too little space, but as a one time use charging pack I guess it's ok (still don't like the one time part;)

[@agentburningbutters3655]

@@BillAnt Wouldnt that mean more junk produced which makes our world worser? I mean it could be rechargeable but still it is one time use.

[@BillAnt]

​@@agentburningbutters3655 Right, while it's handy, the one time use is not eco-friendly.

Maybe this also could be used in combination of a TP4056 and the Li-Ion cell to build a powerbank (with the boost converter board connected to the protected output of the TP4056 of course).

The Comments 5% - about the charger 5% - condom 90% - about his accent

[@shivamvaid601]

Such batteries are good when you get ur own boost converter and charging circuit. I've seen the batteries generally used are rechargeable so this is quite a decent way to get cheap batteries and den use it in a bigger bank with 5 such batteries.

[@MrOpenGL]

I expected at least a primary lithium-manganese battery in it (the kind used in EPIRBs and alarm systems) that has a much higher energy density and more importantly, a 10 year shelf life. This "thing" will run flat on its own in less than a year, then when you REALLY need it (say you are hiking in the Alps, the phone is dead since a long time and you get injured) it won't work... It will also perform extremely poorly in cold weather, which again is when you really need the most, and is not waterproof at all... A real emergency charger that I designed to keep in the survival raft of my boat has three SAFT Li-MnO2 5Ah batteries in series giving 9V, then 2x LM7805 regulators giving two separate and independent outputs (for redundancy, and the heat generated by the linear regulators is mostly dissipated outside, but also helps to heat the battery which improves output in extremely cold weather), the power from the batteries to the regulators is switched via a reed switch so there are no contacts to be oxidised, and the output is via two XT60 connectors that have been chosen so that if the device gets submerged in sea water, the corrosion is very slow because the terminals are very thick, whereas if you drop a micro usb cable in sea water in less than 10 minutes it's ruined forever. The whole thing is completely potted and then sealed in two layers of plastic bag with each having a bit of silica-gel to keep moisture down, and included are four sets of XT60 to Microusb, usb,usb type C and lightning cables, and a fifth cable that is pre-stripped so you can connect whatever you want to it. Of course this didn't cost 2$, it costed 70€, but if you want to market something towards emergency use, it has to be bulletproof because you are not going to use it when it's sunny, temperate, and dry, but rather when it's freezing cold, wet everywhere and it's raining or snowing :-)

[@juriaanoussoren]

You know this is in qcondom packing and I'm guessing you don't have youre pwoerbqnk with you after going out and being drunk on the station or whatever they sell this? Everything is a better option probably but that's not their point with selling this I think 4 years later reply 😂

Better use a buck converter alongside a 7805 for redundancy because it‘s about twice as efficient (with a physical kill switch).

[@aaronbrandenburg2441]

Yes to repurpose to make your own cable and snag the Boost converter and the battery for another project while you're at it even the case might be able to use for something small a project that is. So not entirely useless. Besides you probably won't get those parts for the price of the unit of course.

This if course is not for charging the phone fully. It is that you keep it unopened and keep it for an emergency so that you can make a critical call if your battery is empty. It is clearly marked as an emergency charger. Since you keep it unopened, you know it is fully (or close it it) charged. It can be a life saving device.

The vape juice is not refillable, which is the primary reason why it's disposable.
