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]

mAh is not unit of energy it is a unit of charge 1A is 1C/s 1Ah is 3600 C mAh at a specific voltage is a unit of energy because P = IV and E=Pt

[@JoeARedHawk275]

Yah, joules=energy

[@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.

[@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.

[@eraldorh]

Just built my own one using 8 18650 batterys. Works very well.

[@FitraRahim]

Yeah. 1 original 18650 battery cells from LG, Samsung, & Panasonic is around $ 8-12. $ 8 X 8 Cells = $ 64. More expensive...

[@chizukichan]

I use an Anker Astro Pro 2 20,000mAh every day. I got it about 2 years ago and it still holds up to my demands.

Anker 15000mAh (pre powercore) has been going strong for 4 years now. In addition to a Project Fi gift power bank w/ 5000mAh I've owned several brands over the years, but Anker has the best reliability, and best customer service I've experienced so far.

[@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?

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

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.

It's simple just use this formula to calculate how much watt that your charger/powerbank produce watt=ampere × volt just see that how much volt and ampere your charger has and then multiply it to find watt Also regular devices need 2 ampere

[@juschu85]

1:01 To really get a unit that let's you compare batterys the manufacturers should use (m)Wh and not (m)Ah. A 2500mAh 1.2V battery is not the same as a 2500mAh 3.7V battery. I'm not sure if it changes anything if you say electrical energy or charge, but it doesn't change, that Wh is the unit that tells you how much of "the stuff you need" is in the battery. Using Ah is a little bit like telling, that a certain car can drive for 12 hours with a full tank without saying how fast it will drive. That won't tell you how far the car will go. I assume (or hope) virtually all battery banks and cell phones work with parrallel 3.7V LiPo cells, so you can still compare them by Ah. But for example my laptop battery has 3 serial 3.7V cells (and 3 parallel groups) wich adds up to 11.1V. I can't charge my laptop with a power bank anyway, but it wouldn't surprise me if many tablets or whatever other devices you would charge over USB, have serial battery cells. I really hope someday manufactures will stop using this (for this purpose) useless Ah unit and start telling us how much Wh their batterys have.

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?

[@iblis89]

what about charging above 50% in Li-pl batteries? wont the resistance increase the higher percentage it goes and in effect last longer to stop at 50 and recharge over and over when it gets low?

[@ranam]

hence charging speed depends on the amp and ports of 2 amp and 1amp battery port hence for a charging to take place we need two high energy sources that is in mah where the charging or the energy flow from high energy power bank to low energy charging device or our phone hence charging speed depends on the amp and ports of 2 amp and 1amp battery port hence proved (Q.E.D) "quod erat demonstrandum"

[@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.

Hey, I've been buying and trying many power Banks and that 2.0 amp port had been a lie in every case. What gives? And my phone supports rapid charging. It has a 4000 mAh capacity and when I use the wall charger that's readied at 5v 2A, I get a sweet 1200-1500 mA charge. When I try the 2 amp port in these power Banks, they put out an average of 200-300 mA. What's the deal with that?

What was failed to be mentioned in this video, is the input. If you have a large powerbank, make sure it supports 2amp input, otherwise it will take forever to charge.

Just ordered the Anker 26800 Mah from Amazon, hope it's as good as they say it is. Costed £99.99 Which is about $140 usd

anker is the best (in my opinion), all kinds of prices and specs as well as different features

Linus, got any new recommendations for high capacity power banks? Maybe that'll work with laptops?

[@notbnw6744]

what power bank you should buy? the one with note 7's battery

I use a ravpower 13400 mAh battery pack. Has 2 ports, one 2.1a and the other 2.4a. Has a very helpful charging indicator

Hey Linus Tech Tips, why is it that, when I switch an application from windowed to full screen, my monitor feels the need to cause an epileptic seizure? (why does it blink on and off several times)
