[@jeremiahdeniega4264]

I dont really understand why power bank makers puts a MAX10000Mah label for example, even if it's only rated at 6000Mah. I have my samsung power bank and it said that it was a 10Kmah but as soon as I read through the box details, I see that it was only rated at 6500Mah. why tho?

i bought a new china made charge board to Americans made good 6year old powerbank and its just charging only 100-200mA and if it goes up to 500mA the charging board, i hear strange bubbling sound from the board. How can i fix it? my old origial bank board ic failed

I've got the exact same handheld oscilloscope at the end of the video. I really looking forward to your next video and how you think about this little device. May be you can give the newbies like me some tips on how to use this. I used this for the repair of my power tool charger (switching power supply) and I blew the main circuit when I connected the probe to the main transistor. That was quite dodgy of me :)

[@TheSpotify95]

10,000mAh capacity is only possibly by using 3300mAh or 3400mAh (think Panasonic NCR18650B or similar) cells in that housing. And since NCR18650B costs about £5 or £6 per piece, the total cost of the whole thing will probably be about £20 - basically only going to happen in a good quality product (though a good quality product will probably use flat Li-Po cells in a larger housing, or 2500mAh-ish cells in a better housing). So of course the capacity is to be expected.

[@lamse_barmajiyye]

Do not be too late again, I wish you health and success

[@TechTed1]

i have done thar with my chargers and with my batteries power banks when i connected filament lamps directly without a diode is just like ups inverter with a low voltage indicator

[@DoctorVolt]

Your cat looked so disgusted at this thing - it must be crap 😊

[@johncoops6897]

An important point when charging, before running capacity tests. The LED display is a "voltmeter", so the LED may stop blinking when it reaches 4.2V, however that might only indiicate that the Constant Current (CC) charging phase is completed. After the CC phase, the cells are then charged at Constant Voltage (CV), and they will still draw ~ 1A, then slowly drop down to about 100mA where the charging will terminate. The CV phase can last a few hours, and is where about HALF of the capacity gets added! So, don't just trust the LED indicator.... you need to monitor the current drawn and only consider it's "fully charged" when there is no charging current drawn. That said, those cells have no markings and are probably second hand laptop pulls, and have been re-wrapped. So they probably are shit anyway.

[@TheSpotify95]

The only way that battery packwas going to get anywhere near 10Ah was if the cells were 3300 or 3400mAh each - think NCR18650B. Also the 4500mAh rating was at a generous 330mA per cell (1A total); most 18650s are fit for 0.5A or 1A discharge rate, so at higher discharge rates, the capacity of the cells will probably be even lower. So the conclusion is - DODGY!

[@pcislocked]

I had a similar battery pack. pcb isn't identical tho. Battery wasn't in good shape, so I switched out batteries. But it can't give enough amps just like yours. but I found the datasheet for the chip on the motherboard it claims 3amp output. maybe some resistors are limiting it?

[@totalchips6547]

You forgot your fire extinguisher!. Jajajaja

[@tianshufeng2034]

Well it says "高达1A的可编程输出电流", which means "programmable output current, which can be as high as 1A", so the claim is completely garbage. We really do not want to see such products but I personally don't think that right now there is much that we can do about them.

[@nofeartv7269]

Just loved your cat 😍 from India 🇮🇳 stay blessed, Jai Shree Ram 🙏

[@waltercomunello121]

I think that some Chinese manufacturers just grab used laptop batteries, extract their cells and stick them in these enclosures with some generic circuitry. At least they shouldn't lie, measure the actual capacity and report it on the box, along some notices about the cells not being brand new but rather recycled. "Power banks with recycled power cells". Something that I've been doing for months until now.

[@kruemmelbande5078]

If a cheap Powerbank looks and feels cheap, and has a kinda big but not unreadonable capacity, its probably real. I have a 6€ 4400mah powerbank, but it seems that they put their money into genuine cells. There are two 18650 batteries in it. If someone sells a cheap but good looking powerbank, they wont have much money left for nice electronics and good cells, after the case. Also it has a relativley good 1A. They often sell powerbanks that claim 1A, but they just cant. I havent testet the A, but its better than another powerbank i have.

is short circuit protection when it detect your wire resistance it intimidate short circuit protection inside you are measuring wrong electronic power bcz need a diode before in the series with those resistors thats why those are not dodgy but you are measuring wrong

[@JIUNnF]

Приведёная энергетическая ёмкость.

[@mysock351C]

18:03 "MM" in the absolute maximum ratings. Same as the "name" of the power bank (coincidence?). Wonder what that 200V rating is? Isolation, maybe?

[@gumpi5]

Nice video :) but I'll would have opened it first at empty battery. If something goes wrong, the batteries will get only hot but it won't make much damage because the batteries are already empty. And after opening I would charge it up.

[@TheSpotify95]

I suppose that's not bad for 3x 18650 cells. For a cheap Chinese power bank, you really weren't expecting them to use Panasonic NCR18650B cells, which are pretty much the only ones that will get you 10Ah in just three 18650s in parallel. Quite a lot of scavenged laptop battery cells perform at about this rate, or slightly worse (though you can sometimes get really nice ones).

[@scottduede8134]
