What Battery Bank Should You Buy?

[@bluedeath996]

Buy 2 power banks and have them charge each other, that always turns out well.

[@meqme5850]

I can answer you: -What Battery Bank Should You Buy? Any you like From official Company with bigger mAh bigger mAh = bigger energy official, becouse No names Chinas batteries - Lies about mAh sometime in 5-10 times For Phones, Tablet its 5V and 0.5A - because in 90% cases they(Phones) cant drain more (except some exclusive features, Like USB 3 - it can deliver more power but, do you’re phone support that?) In many Cases 2A and 4A on power bank is align to sum of A for all ports. So if you have 1 port given 2A - you can charge 4 devices (Beware using all charging port - simple don’t plug 4-10 devices in 1 power bank) And power banks with 12-24V is for Netbooks and Laptops

[@ShiroKage009]

How many charges does it give your phone before dying?

[@BigAdam2050]

Most of these power banks use 18650 cells, these are around the size of a roll of quarters / 3quids worth of 10p. They also tend to be around 2000mah. If you see a battery thats only 1 cell ish in size and says its higher (say 500+mah) then its bullshit. Spend the extra and get a 2cell unit, rather than a smaller one made of lies.

[@TigerTT]

Just get one of the popular 20000mah banks on Amazon lol

[@YeetxBoi]

or get one running on a flat lithium battery cell XD dont be dumb you can make your own 18650 cell battery banks

[@justinwiden]

You are aware that there are high quality 18650 cells with upto around 3500mAh of capacity right? Yes they max out at around 5A continuous but thats still plenty for a USB charger. Ive seen single cell 18650 portable chargers that ive measured at around 2800mAh which is pretty good, being labeled at 3000mAh. I also have a Aukey 10,000mAh Quick Charge which has 4 18650's in it and it has a capacity of only ~8500mAh, which im ok with, but still could potentially be upto 14,000mAh using 3500mAh cells. Or like @L3G1T BMX said just get a empty shell with a USB output that holds however many cells, and put your own 18650's in it.

[@TheLegoPerson]

It actually has a title on the screen at that time that says “Linus meant to say charge”. He knows what he’s doing (most of the time).

[@godders976]

although you are correct, mWh is a unit of energy and is converted into to joules by a simple multiplication. As we are dealing with a constant 5 V from USB charging, multiplying the mAh by 5 V will give you mWh. So in this case I think it's okay to call mAh a unit of energy as the only thing you need to change it to one are constant.

[@lammatt]

[@MrPorho]

Unfortunately manufacturers often refer to mAh of the battery, which has non-constant voltage.

[@AttunedFlux]

Western cultures rising resistance towards jokes such as these and the actions people have been known to take in response to the people making them means we need that kind of humor more than ever. Humor has an uncanny power to get peoples attention and possibly inform you about another way of thinking. Trying to ban things like rape jokes is not only a gravely unethical assault on liberty, its actually making the situation worse by silencing people who are trying to use a very real method of dealing with rape. On top of that, letting words of a stranger trigger you(not you) into screaming for the offender's silence is far beyond child-like and into the realm of psychopathy.

My go-to everyday power bank has been the Anker PowerCore fushion 2in1. It doubles as my wall brick aswell which is nice. I did an unboxing video of it and so far it's been my favorite. I'll do a review video after I've used it for a few more months.

[@SaturnusDK]

mWh is a far better unit to use here as there's always manufacturers that are going to state the (exagge)rated mAh of the battery cells themselves, which can be at a different volts so using mWh avoids any confusion. And let's be clear, 100Wh or 20000mAh rated at 5V output is the absolute maximum you will find as that is the legal limit for a lithium based battery. Anymore than that, and you can bet the rating is false.

[@MichaelFlatman]

wait, there is a limit :0 what about multiple batteries, like i have a laptop that can take 2 batteries, and one is 95wh, if i have two 95wh will that be over legal limit?

[@SaturnusDK]

Yes, you can have maximum 2 battery packs in total. Neither can be over 100Wh each.

[@davidlee3203]

Shit that means I got ripped off coz I bought a power bank that says 30,000 mah no wonder it couldn't charge my camera like 24 times I doubt it could charge it 10 times tbh but it's so thick and heavy how does that make sense?

[@annelisabethcom]

Test'em yourself. USB testers start at a little over a dollar for a simple model. I bought a powerbank that had a 1 Ah output and a 2 Ah output. Guess what? The 1 Ah delivered 0.5Ah to a device that prefers 1 Ah, and the 2 Ah delivered 1 Ah to a device that prefers 2 Ah. And I didn't connect both at the same time. It's capabable of delivering more, though. A load and tester went up to over 2 Ah on the 2 Ah port before it crapped out. So why didn't my devices draw more?

[@zhast]

2:51 Linus published a video... that's me!

[@TranceForLyfe]

Except you did not mention the fact that charging your phone with an external battery bank can diminish your device's ability to charge and maintain a proper charge. This is why some of the newer devices like the Galaxies advise you to only charge your phone with the INCLUDED wall plug. Yes, battery banks are great if you get stuck in a bind and your battery is dead but for the long term.. probably not a good idea to always have them plugged into your phone.

[@SigmaTech]

[@lucastv3376]

[@chaoticmonkey243]

Linus, i think another important point is how quickly the actual battery bank itself is to charge; the input specs as well as the output specs. Its useful to have a 20000mAh battery bank but if it only charges at 0.5A it'll take days for the battery bank to charge and defeats the purpose

[@juliet4093]

[@hoangtran4736]

you also missed a key part efficiency, some manufacturers advertise their product with the capacity needed to charge the bank, not the charge capacity the bank can hold. mine is advertised as a 10000 mah battery bank, but can only hold 6500 mah due to about 60% efficiency. that info is listed on the bottom of the battery bank. oh, you also need to keep in mind that the 10000 mah (for example) is output actually 10000 mah at 5 volts. this is important as there are devices that use the lesser known 3.6 volt standard, and you will need a transformer to convert the 5 volt output to 3.6 volt. if you only use the battery bank for said 3.6 volt device, then the capacity is not 10000 mah at 5 volt but more like 13800 mah at 3.6 volt (not accounting for the inefficiency of the transformer). that is why i choose to focus on the watthour rating instead.

[@loganbiwer3423]

[@Biwa_Hayahide]

Linus didn't mention anything about charging efficiency. when you charge or use your device, some of the electrical energy is being converted to heat energy. so any battery bank you get will never charge your device as much as advertised. for example of you got a 10000mah battery bank and it's charging efficiency is 80%, that means 20% of that power is being converted into heat and you only have 8000mah of useable power. the more efficient it is the more useable power you have.

[@Root174]

Dammit Linus, I have just bought one! Although, there wasn't anything I didn't already know :P . The one I purchased was Samsung's Fast Charging Battery Pack of 10,200 mAh for my Samsung Galaxy S6. For some reason, it's difficult to find a power bank that features rapid charging technology, here in the Netherlands. Most of them tend to support 2.4 A at most - which is 12 Watts (5V x 2.4A). Meanwhile Samsung's implementation can be 15.03 Watts (9V x 1.67 A). I'm not entirely certain if ~3 Watts makes a big difference, but I rather be safe than sorry with a power bank that explicitly supports rapid charging technology. Personally, I would have considered the Anker Powercore 10,000 with Quick Charge 3.0 (the 3.0 portion could come in handy in the future), but I can only seem to order it from Amazon and they don't support Paypal - I don't have a credit card - or my country's own iDeal (like Paypal, but through your own bank). The latter was to be expected as it's not used anywhere outside the country, but only supporting CC's is incredibly annoying. Oh yeah, what can also make a power bank's capacity feel lower is how some of the charge is lost through heat and by converting said charge for the output.

[@ChrisD4335]

The 2 amp ones charge faster but the1amp ones have the benefit of keeping your phone powered wile plugged in for longer. This is because when you rapidly discharge a battery to rapidly charge a differint battery more of the energy is wasted, burned off as heat or other inefficiency. 1amp is my preference for this reason.

[@SmiIeyyXD]

Anker I would say is probably the best to use and fast charges

[@graxaimcongelado]

Friend. Help me here. When you measure the actual capacity in 5V the "mah" reduces, obviously. Buuuut, the cell phone battery is also a lithium 3.6V, then, the conversion back in the cellphone would not give back this total "mah" in 3 6V? Then, the only discounts in capacity would be the electric losses and resistances cable, right?
