Shargeek Storm2 Slim Power Bank Review and Test 72Wh

[@TommyThousandFaces]

Warm and batteries do not go together well. I was really surprised to see it be so spotty and unstable. It was reviewed quite a lot in the past by big KZbinrs, but knowing now that it can be useless and dangerous during summer I wouldn't buy it. Thanks for your service!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, the marketing is heavy on this one, I need to work on getting more timely but usually the people that get videos out quickly get them for free and have to say only what they were paid to say. I am not above sponsored content but the sponsor can't be the subject in the video otherwise it is just a big ad.

Thanks for the excellent review

[@Overlegen]

Best review I’ve found, so far. I have little very understanding of electronics, but you cover important things (like effective capacity) really well. And I’ve found that those things are rarely covered at all in many power bank reviews. You earned yourself a sub sir!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for watching!

[@Magikpotion]

I absolutely love these, there are so many options and this definitely helps understanding what's important. You're really good at explaining things, very precise and to the point.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thank you!

[@macktheinterloper]

I'll take reliability and capacity over bling bling any day. I love the looks, but I'd never buy something with these issues unless I were a hype reviewer - and then I'd probably have it given to me free anyway. I don't say this enough, because I don't comment under every single review you do - but you are a shining beacon of trust and objectivity, don't ever change your style.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I can't see these power banks lasting too long.

[@ryanwwest]

"Not setting the world on fire, but it may set itself on fire." Lol, nice early precursor into this device's downfall. I appreciate you doing these, excited for more! I'm interested if any companies are pushing the very limit in terms of watt hour of what you can bring on a plane.

[@marcmercado1011]

almost got one of this powerbank, glad i saw your video and helped me on my decision. Thank you.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, if you are only going to charge a phone it's probably fine but if you want to charge anything bigger it's a mess.

[@literate-aside]

Excellent, technical and objective reviews? Colour me impressed. That's an instant sub for me, first time I've seen someone give this thing more than perfunctory coverage, and I *knew* I smelled marketing guff.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks! Yeah, I heard so much good that I really expected a lot too so that did bias a bit of the negativity. But still this thing basically cooks itself and shouldn't be marketed with the abilities that it is.

[@JasonChiuTO]

Thank you for this review. I came across the video right after ordering from Amazon, intending to use it with my Steam Deck and cancelled immediately after learning about the overheating. Appreciate the honest testing and review!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I think it's tough to figure out how that heat issue applies. It over heats at heavy usage but it was fine at about 45 watts. So, it probably can power the steam deck fine. The question comes down to, how long will it last powering that device and with a thermal issue it is ultimately down to shortening battery and component life in the device. There have been a couple people that have these that have not had the issue but it is a gamble. For the price...

[@yuikagauss]

Finally a reviewer who knows what he is talking about...

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for watching!

[@elijahmodnar1]

its as if the see thru plastic case is keeping it warmer then say a aluminium based case or a black plastic case with silicone glue to transfer the heat from the cells

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, it wouldn't take much math to figure out this doesn't work from a product design standpoint. The USB power is actually good but it just can't do for long because the thermals are so bad.

[@TheShortStory]

Excellent review. Good and useful information. I kickstarted a few novelty Shargeek power adapters, and while I did receive them just fine, all of them seem to run hotter than normal. So I will always be keeping a close eye on them while in use.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks, yeah not a bad idea.

[@eugene4350]

Interesting review. Thanks again for the in depth review. I'm always skeptical of smaller power supplies that show the internals without silicone adhesives to better utilise the outer casing as a heatsink that advertise high charging/discharging local protocol specs. Excited for the next video. Happy Friday.

This power bank went for looks over longevity. I'm not even sure what the next video is yet!

So sad. Just bought the shargeek 100. I hope it doesn’t overheat as well . Amazing review, thank you.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, if you don't use it at the really high wattages then it should work just fine. I wish they had a power limit on the output port, like set it to 60W max and it'd be fine.

[@KulDegun]

The 100 is much better. It doesnt overheat and has dc output also.

[@astrogiblet]

Thanks for your review! I have been debating buying this power bank but not anymore! Are you going to test the bigger Storm 2 (non-slim version). I wonder if that has the same problems?

Yeah, those are going to be spread out a little but I want to check them out as well. I have to keep the budget in check.

[@_jerieljan]

Is it overheating badly because they decided to have this see-through clear design thing instead of a proper case that could've dissipated heat better with conductive materials? It's a pity because I actually liked the display but it's a no-go if it's unable to keep itself cool.

[@b0bsaget007]

Perhaps it would fair better thermally if it had an aluminum case and some thermal pads to help disperse and dissipate the excessive heat.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, that is kind of the general idea. Most power banks transfer the heat out, this one has a crazy lag before the case gets warm. Keeps all that heat inside.

[@qfnkdv4771]

Can you review the anker 733 hybrid power bank ? Really waiting for that one ! ❤

[@nicholas9262]

"it should be able to super fast charge samsung devices" says allthingsoneplace in this video... A protocol of 3.3 - 20-21v 5a is able to pull 10v 4.5 a for the maximum Samsung 45w charging, so this power bank DOES FULLY support 45w samsung charging. Anything 11volts or higher at 5 amps will fully utilize the samsung charging. Doesn't need to be 11v 5a and another 20-21v 5a protocol. 11v 5a, 16v 5a, 20 or 21v 5a protocols, they all have the power that the samsung power needs.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yep, should as in, I don't have a Samsung device to test it on but yes, it has the current and voltage as you describe.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

True. Today there are so many unknown brands though, even the 'known' brands haven't been around for all that long and the ones you've heard of are all rebrands and probably even worse since no one designed anything just stuck a label on a product.

[@maxdondada]

Nice review. Can the batteries be replaced?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

They are not technically user replaceable, but since you can see what you are doing, and if you have a spot welder and soldering iron I don't see why not. Easier than the glue piles and sealed shut other power banks.

[@maxdondada]

@@AllThingsOnePlace Thanks

[@JoaoMarcK]

I have one of this, mine in the beginning was really unstable below 30%(at any load would run to 0% and stay for a while), maybe bad cells, after some charge cycles, it started working more stable and predictable. When charging i never saw any overheating alerts, maybe is because i aways use it in the upright position with the usb ports up. I tested it with another 100w Powerbank and was able to take 54Wh from it before it overheated at near 0%, but this was in a cold (20°c granite surface). After watching this video I did a few tests and was unable to get it to overheat during charging. Edit: I was able to get it to overheat, by charging it in the horizontal position. Also this one does not have premium cells from Samsung, instead it has BAK cells Sorry for the long comment...

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for the comment! It is good to see some more testing on this one. I got the quick overheat condition by setting it to the maximum power it claims to deliver, which it really didn't like. Didn't matter which way it was facing. Interesting you got different results in different positions.

[@roseforeuropa]

I can't believe one one has done a shargeek storm 2 vs anker 737 yet. It seems like such a comparison. Maybe you could be the first :)

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I literally do that in this video.

[@roseforeuropa]

I'm talking about an actual side-by-side comparison video, not two separate videos.

[@sleepyhead7257]

Shargeek is never a manufacturer. They just bought the design from ARUN and rebranded it. They even resold the solution to smartphone brands like Meizu. Shargeek usually buy chargers from AMC and power banks from ARUN and the only thing done by themselves is redesign the casing and sell them at high prices.😔

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yep, I figured as much. The 140W adapter is made by XinSpower.

[@mygins5820]

Can you do the regular storm 2? By the way loved the video

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I will eventually cover that. It will be a while. I might wait for a newer version to arrive.

[@mrvang8077]

Glad I didn't get this one over the old one. I do not like thermal issue power bank.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, the older, larger power bank was better at least.

[@kixjavier]

Thanks for the review. initially wanted to buy this. This item is not worth the price.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah. This one has serious issues.

[@JoshuaLindsey92]

I'm curious about the larger model!!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I just don't want to put the cash out to get it. I will eventually. Since it is larger I expect it to have less heating issues.

[@mvevitsis]

They sacrificed thermals to make it look cool. There were no thermal pads connecting to the case which would obviously cover up the internals.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I think it is tied to the case through the bars on the side then to the end plates but that is such a small surface are and a long thermal path it deosn't really work all that great. I am sure there are thermal vias through the PCB, well I hope there are. I want to do a further detailed analysis of this thing.

[@frp1276]

Glad I didn't buy into the hype. Thanks for the video.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

No problem! This one just has too many issues.

[@burhanbudak6041]

Is the design based on that you can change the cells? Also I'm still waiting for a solid state battery powerbank.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The cells aren't really changeable. They are welded in place. So, same as any other power bank. With the over heating problems you will need to change the cells though.

[@odin4227]

You should know that UKCA is mostly self-certified. So having that on a product isn't really helpful. Certification from something that actually requires testing would be much more helpful

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yes, I know. It can 'technically' be enforced if anyone ever checks but the reality is who can govern that on everything that is realeased. The same is true of CE. I like the TuV and PSE marks for Germany and Japan, and the little NOM, US and C under various safety companies on North American products because you can look up the specific report and see what it was actually tested for.

[@TheGeekGauntletPodcast]

Didn’t this get re-named to the 140 model???

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, there was some renaming. I have the triangle one to review at some point.

CE simply means that the manufacturer is responsible for any issues that might occur with a product. It's not a safety listing of any kind, but it suggests that the product should have pass basic safety testing and should comply with all the EU regulation. Note should. Also, CE is never listed for a specific country, that would be something like TÜV or similar.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yep, I like proper safety listings on products with a country association, it usually means you can look up the report or listing docutment also. I am amazed that the EU and the UK allow the self declaration process which means you really get nothing unless the manufacturer decides to share it.

Yeah, that seems like it works for you and you are the lucky one. At 45W this may be the right power level and it hopefully can last a long time. The big issue here is they said it's a 100+ watts and it absolutely can't do that.

Dont buy from this company. My screen crapped out after a month of light use, so now i have no idea what capacity i have left, and parasitic drain was high. I have attempted to contact shark geek multiple times. They replied initially with instructions to perform a reset, which i did, and screen still buggered. Since that reply and my response advising reset did not fix, many follow ups by me have gone unanswered. I have not been able to instigate any warranty return / exchange / refund, as they simply will not answer. Considering priced as a very premium product in the space - the fact that a) mine broke so early and b) if you do have problem, you have ZERO warranty as they just will not answer if you have problem - do not buy. Their support department is obviously non existent, it is all about sales, sales, sales of what is likely cheap electronics behind flashy marketing and pricing to make you believe it is a PREMIUM product. Will now have to try get consumer affairs onto the case, as well as letting everyone know on as many platforms as i can what they are really like as a company.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I've looked at a few products from them at this point, they've all been overpriced and very low performance, unfortunately these cheaper products at premium prices are popping up as the norm now. There are practical limits that these companies ignore to market a bigger number.

[@zerofrictioncycling992]

@@AllThingsOnePlace Yes i think you have hit the nail on the head. I feel i was conned by this one - cheap product dressed up as premium by way of a big price tag, and it is all too easy for companies to buy great reviews from lots of channels (like this). It is getting very hard to discern genuine quality products from industry sharks - i should have known, Shark is even in the company name!! But the fact they can avoid all warranty by just not even replying to issues - it is sad so many channels sell out doing great reviews for dodgy AF companies. Just for fun over coffee breaks here and there i am going to do my bit to make sure as many people know they are a con job - i will keep posting on their insta adds and channels like this until i am sure they will really wish they actioned warranty on mine vs just ghosting & showing who they truly are.

You want to talk about Amazon reviews because they sent me card with a 35 dollar gift card in exchange for a 5 star review

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

That is scary.

[@solarzoro]

An exposive-like power BANG 😂

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I wonder if there is a feature to make it tic.

[@TheStopwatchGod]

@@AllThingsOnePlace Hack into power bank’s software, disable overheat protection, and hammer it at 130W

[@frederickremondy8308]

This IS absolut crap and no customer support don't buy!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

haha

[@Avicularia69]

very expensive for 200 bucks

Very expensive for 100 bucks.

[@djmtbiker3495]

WOW I'M 299 👍

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks!

[@wafu6058]

Very disappointing for the price. Id rather get a zmi 210w for half that.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I have to check out that one still.

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

Too heavy

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It is actually not bad for the usable capacity compared with 9 other power banks. It is 3rd for energy density. Too heavy must mean too much capacity also.

So what we have here, is a hunk of junk, that looks like a pretty hunk of junk. I might as well just wear a diamond ring, it will achieve the same goal, and at least I'll get compliments for it. The marketing for its abilities were !!!!ALL LIES!!!! And the thermal heat index of this thing, I could put this in a sleeping bag to heat me up, but then again, if it sets my nuggets on fire, maybe not.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I had really high hopes. If it had a power limit you could set in software it probably would be okay. It does look cool, that's all that matters right?

[@eyeofsauron7662]

What Powerbank would you recommend that’s above 45w and 20,000 mah

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I like my evatronic 60W (same as ravpower), it is small, efficient, basic, but charges and discharges fast enough while staying safe. They don't over sell the power capability which is nice but that is at 20kmah. I haven't tested much above 20kmah and I don't really recommend the Baseus 65W 30kmah.
