Dollar Store finds! 3$ powerbank review!!!

[@razeslogo6307]

Finally someone told me when it’s ready to go thank you so much even though you probably made this video years ago

[@heyrandyman]

You are welcome! They are great little thing!

[@billybrand]

I like Dollarama, lol! They have good camping stuff for cheap. As for the chargers, I use the solar powered one to charge the big blackberry battery pack. Both are usually on the dashboard of the car until I need them. Here's a tip, if you can't find a water proof bag for your phone or wallet etc you can use a ZIP lock bag when hiking, kayaking and hunting. I usually double bag.

[@EazyT8439]

It’s only 3 freaking dollars!!! went out and bought one, it’s great for my work just in case my phone dies as i work outdoors

[@heyrandyman]

I still have it over a year later and working well!

[@DarkTheUGCSniper]

lmao i was just trying to find out how to put the rope on the back for a keychain thanks 1 look and i got it

[@heyrandyman]

Just a little loop and the magic of friction! I use the same loop on my action cam!

[@nookers]

Omg. Fellow Canadian! And you answered my question... No info on its capacity on the bank itself lol. I assumed it was in the ballpark of around that... 1500-2000 mAh. Good to kno!

[@heyrandyman]

It's a good thing to have for a buck!

[@mikejones-vd3fg]

Its on the box 1800 mAh, good guess. The cable that comes with it (if you got that version) also says not to use a wall charger that exceeds 1 amp which is good to know, most new wall chargers are above that. That should prolong the life of the cell.

[@nicolasparadis1407]

careful when you buy it. Test it before cause I bought 5 and 3 didn't worked. I assumed they are using recycled batteries. I opened it and the 3 batteries were at 0 volts. Which is a dead battery!

[@heyrandyman]

Sometimes its surplus or failed QC . I once bought some batteries from the dollar store that had a fail stamp on it!

[@brittanyarmstrong4227]

I dont know if youre still replying to questions on this lol but i just bought this for some curtain lights that apparently cant be plugged into a usb block into the wall. So someone suggested a portable charger....i charged it for 2 days and then plugged it into the fairy light plugging the usb plug into this.....the light go on for like 1 minute and shut off....im not tech savy im clueless....will this not work for that kind of stuff or what am i doing wrong lmao

[@heyrandyman]

Hello there! I can think of a couple things. Are you Fairy lights LED or regular bulbs. the regular bulbs draw a whole lot more power . Charge it up. It should only take 3-4 hours to be fully charged. and plug it into your phone. charge your phone and see how much it charges until it shuts off. If you get the same results then you might have unfortunately bought a dud. Plan B, If it charges your phone a decent amount and your bulbs are LED. Then the bulbs might be drawing too much power. Upgrade to one of those 10,000milliamp or even a 20,000 milli amp with a 5 watt output. Walmart, best buy Canadian tire etc sells em for pretty reasonable prices now. about 20-30 bucks. Plan C . Check the manual that came with the lights, They may offer a specific plug connector for these. Or maybe they forgot to include the connector. Plan D good ol led plug in lights from the dollar store, A string of 25 -30 LED bulbs color or plain white for a buck a piece. Get bout 5 of these , connect them and you've got some nice ambient lighting for 5 bucks and no need for the constant recharging!

[@aliciachaddlesone5706]

I got one and it's black but my will not light up so I don't know when its done charging.😞

[@dmx1189]

Why is no one talking about how many phones he has

[@heyrandyman]

Lol One for GPS and ordering pizza, one for work, and one for filming videos and calling my mom!

[@Crazyreviewer123]

This seems pretty good I might get one and use it on my new Oneplus 9 phone I’m getting soon plus with random power outages it’s best to be safe and have backup Incase of emergency

[@heyrandyman]

Doesn't hurt, youll get at least a half full charge from empty! I still keep one in the car, charge it up every once in a while .

[@Crazyreviewer123]

@@heyrandyman that's awesome they seem reliable unlike one knock off brand that got so hot it almost exploded but since you seem to have good luck with yours I think I'll be ok as well thanks for the review I know what I'm picking up soon

[@debbs418]

Does this charger take charge ?

[@heyrandyman]

Yup it is rechargeable. Usb rechargeable. Same cable. Just flip it small end into the power bank. Usb into a usb port . TV laptop desktop etc.

[@alifranco8809]

How do we turn it on ?

[@heyrandyman]

Plug it in to a power source /usb port and it automatically starts recharging. plug it into a device and it automatically begins charging the device. Once its done it shuts itself off. if you disconnect it. it turns itself off as well!

[@mschocolate531]

I just got that yesterday how long does it last?

[@heyrandyman]

I posted that 2 years ago and it's still used to power my blue tooth speaker on hike and camp trips! Of course with these newer phone and heavy duty batteries. It'll maybe charge it up 40-50%

[@mschocolate531]

@@heyrandyman thanks ! I really needed this feedback

[@heyrandyman]

@@mschocolate531 No problem! Theyre great and affordable little powerbanks. If you dont mind spending a bit more. I would recommend the one with the solar panel. If you are out and about for a couple days. They are a lot more affordable on amazon in the last couple years.
