Good video and good work. Funny cause I just did a similar thing. Your setup is much cleaner and now I'm gonna try that cord management . also does the battery bank ever lose charge with just with a cable plugged in? I read thats a thing on some of them.
Just to mention my setup. Used a thunderbolt 4 240w short flat ribbon down angle cable. overkill lol but I intend to try a usb c dock back there for more ports on the go. I used dual lock just in the middle of the vents which is like stronger velcro that lasts more then 2 uses lol. Its actually a little too strong and your setup seems clean and effortless. I positioned my battery like yours so can I use kickstand a lil and instead of laying flat it will lean at tablet drawing angle which is kinda useful lol. I actually put the dual lock in a big surface area of the battery and so I can adjust battery to whatever position/height I feel like. So far it all seems worth it but battery choice is really important too. I used the same iniu from that same amazon page but they sent the 65w version (same capacity) and weirdly it would only charge the lego when it was turned off first. It scared me from the brand so tried the ugreen 145w after. Its actually thinner but wider and still really close in weight for 90Wh. I was impressed by the 2nd port passthrough charging the legion go and then the battery bank charging from the LeGo charger at the same time. The weight pushes me away a little for longer sessions, so I've been thinking of gettting the anker prime 130w at 43Wh(half capacity). Smaller and lighter brick that I saw in a video juices up in a little over 35 minutes and barely suitable for the LeGo.
@@HandheldHorizon Yeah look for 3m dual lock and you can cut a 1 inch wide strip at 2.5 inch long maybe to stick in-between the vents from top to right before the kickstand. then you could stick like 2.5 inch by 3 inch of surface area on your battery bank if you feel like it. at that point it just presses in and holds like velcro and surface area for that might be overkill but its flexible for attaching it. Also yeah I'm interested in that anker cause nobody makes it that light/capacity. Baseus(cheapest when on a deal) make them kinda thin and light too. anker shows wattage and baseus can show volts and amps which is like the same thing. I'm thinking I can measure the power draw of the legion go if its fully charged so thats gonna be a must if I get another power bank now.
Yay, I approve your setup. One day batteries won't be an issue, but till then, this is definitely serviceable. I actually did a similar thing: same battery but with the top half of a surface book 2
i usually stop for 1 hr to charge my lego with power bank when im out in the field. i usually have a 12 inch laptop bag thats where i put the power bank and lego. while charging and using it i just use 3feet usb c cable that way i wont be needing to clip the battery to lego
Ok so u do realize u covered up ur fans intake? Yeah not a good mod in my opinion. I wouldnt want to risk overheating and damaging my unit. I’ll just plug it into the battery and set it to the side.
He literally said in the video that he did extensive temperature testing as to make sure that the battery didn't cause the device to overheat. Watch the video.
I actually like your video, music, script, pace, length, everything is good. I like your idea, I thought of this before as well but until I could resolve it with better engineering, I probably wouldn’t wanna do it. I rather put it down and charge it. I use an Anker 733, which is 2-in-1 65w from wall, 30w when unplugged. I already bring one thing less. Imagine your idea is to trim down the portable battery to a bit slimmer or use a slimmer profile version, then replace the Legion Go kickstand, even just adding 30WH will be comparable with the Ally X. No additional accessories, and still having an awesome kickstand 😉
Hey buddy...just wanted to say thank you for sharing your idea and thoughts. Great job and don't worry about the nay-sayers about why just do this and that. keep it up. Video was well done.
I'm a little confused by this setup. Why not just keep the battery bank separate and have a longer flexible usbc cable? I fail to see the ergonomics of adding the massive weight of a battery pack to a handheld...
@@MrFantasticMunchPersonally, I prefer having one consolidated handheld as opposed to 3 separate items which need to be carried around. Just my 2 cents
@@MrFantasticMunch I was concerned until I did it. It's not really noticeable for me and the kids. I use the 25,000ah battery strap right above the middle of the cranium. But different strokes for different folks
I use to do that with the exact same battery he's using in the video, but sometimes without even thinking you go to move or something and drag the battery with you, resulting in possibly falling off the table or whatever its sitting on and also then pulling weight on the cable that could damage the usb port (especially if you were using the top one)
The lego is heavy af as is and adding that power bank will make it almost twice as heavy i got an anker 60k power bank for 9p bucks with an anker 100w 10ft usbc cable it lasts hours
Just put your 100w battery pack in your pocket or on the couch with a cord 🤔 easy money 😅plus the legion is big and it gets heavy no need for the extra weight 😊
There are like so many different battery banks BUT every time I try to pick one up there SOLD OUT!!! All these accessories are ridiculous BUT a battery bank is crucial sigh what other battery banks are available??? 65watt to 100watt right??
I love this, but i probably wouldn't put them together rather using them side by side. I'm patiently waiting for the next gen Legion Go but I'm not sure if it will be a Lenovo buy as their support has been horrid from the drivers to regular support.
Put a fan on your power brick. Itll help a ton or make sure yhe brick can handle 100w. I always put desk fans on charging devices for safety and battery health.
I dont think this is a bad idea at all, just 1 question, if the levion go is at 100% and you connect it to the power bank fully charged, which battery is it consuming first? And also, doing that can damage the legion go's battery(?
i have the mini inui version of that the 100 watt i thought magnets werent good to put on electronics wont this mess with your fan and internals of legion go ?

I just enjoy being able to join my family in same room not restricted to a pc or large laptop loving it 🎉
💯
Not sure why I'm watching this even though I don't own Legion Go 😅
Because the Legion Go slaps
Me too
Bro target sells them now. Go treat yourself. Don’t settle for steam deck.
All these early handhelds dropped a bollock when they fitted sub 50mha batteries.. the Allyx got it right and has set the bar.
my only issues with the Ally X is the price and also having windows on it without a trackpad, no chance for me.
Just bought and tried everything you recommended. Works amazing thank you!
@@koreo9436 I love to hear that!
i ended up buying a 65W power bank thats 26,800 mah and was under $40. just got it yesterday and it worka like a charm ^_^
Hell yeah man! glad you like the set up
Legion go is already such a light device that you can attach maybe 5 batteries to it and still not feel the weight . Great video 👍
Bro the legion go is pretty heavy on its own already, are you a body builder? lol
My boy has Anime protagonist strength

@@fabiowie thanks 🙏
Thanks for the recommendations from your past video I watched. I will try this🙏🏽
Great video! This is the stuff why people joined YT back then. I will give this a try :)
Might consider this I lug around the power cable cord that comes with the Go just find a wall outlet. When I'm at work 2 hours is all I need daily.

Free from loose dangling cables. It's the same reason why I mount my battery pack on to the oculus and not have a long usb running to my pocket.
@@tykendrick800 that makes sense to me. although it the case of a vr headset, I would be even more annoyed by the extra weight sitting on my face.
@@MrFantasticMunch I was concerned until I did it. It's not really noticeable for me and the kids. I use the 25,000ah battery strap right above the middle of the cranium.

after using this for a month i have bigger biceps
workout while gaming
@@emc2648 😂😂
gaming and working out, win win
Its a smart idea but i mostly use my legion go at home so im always near a power outlet so its not an issues for me
The lego is heavy af as is and adding that power bank will make it almost twice as heavy i got an anker 60k power bank for 9p bucks with an anker 100w 10ft usbc cable it lasts hours
90*
Just put your 100w battery pack in your pocket or on the couch with a cord 🤔 easy money 😅plus the legion is big and it gets heavy no need for the extra weight 😊
I noticed there's a mini option for the power bank that has the same stats, i wonder if that would work as well and lighten up the weight a little
I was thinking the same thing but they weigh about the same- about 490 grams or 17.2 oz so more than a pound
There are like so many different battery banks BUT every time I try to pick one up there SOLD OUT!!! All these accessories are ridiculous BUT a battery bank is crucial sigh what other battery banks are available??? 65watt to 100watt right??
there are a ton out there, but i do recommend baseus the most
Any heating issues? It looks like its obstructing the vent. Not completely there is a small space. Just wondering before I do this setup.
@@The_Retro_Sitcom_Network no heating issues whatsoever after using this setup for over a month
Im not the only one that calls it the lego?!? Finally lol
Lol. It'll only weighs 1 ton. Also, devices can thermal throttle to reduce temperatures as well. Just put the battery next to you. That's what I do.
I love this, but i probably wouldn't put them together rather using them side by side. I'm patiently waiting for the next gen Legion Go but I'm not sure if it will be a Lenovo buy as their support has been horrid from the drivers to regular support.
@@Fifth313ment same, hoping to see a legion go 2 early next year🤔
Awsoom idea !
Glad you think so!
Why are not even 100w cables charging the Legion Go, nowhere knows and it is driving me insane i hoped this would tell me.
@@TheEregos 100w PD will charge the Lego. I would check your battery or power source
Put a fan on your power brick. Itll help a ton or make sure yhe brick can handle 100w. I always put desk fans on charging devices for safety and battery health.
I think I'd rather just have a longer cord on the power supply so I could set it beside me.
doesent that also block the fans ?
My exact tought, theres good clearances so it shouldnt be too bad but batteries do generate a lot of heat so you will pre heat the air going in
He mentions in the video that it doesn't make heat worse
I dont think this is a bad idea at all, just 1 question, if the levion go is at 100% and you connect it to the power bank fully charged, which battery is it consuming first? And also, doing that can damage the legion go's battery(?
How is the weight?
@@LuisPerez-5 it’s heavy ngl, but not overly heavy to the point of being uncomfortable. Especially if you set it on your lap while playing
id really like to do this set up but really want to make sure the kegnate wouldent affect my leguon go
As far as I can tell magnets do not mess with anything
also dident you iniu cable that came with it work for you i got a cable that came with my battrry seems to work fine to charge legion go
Cable that came with battery did not work reliably
What does TDP mean?
@@Apollos2023 thermal design power
@ thank you 😁
i have the mini inui version of that the 100 watt i thought magnets werent good to put on electronics wont this mess with your fan and internals of legion go ?
As far as I can tell these low powered magnets don’t mess with anything.
Can it play FiveM?
Would the mini version of the Iniu battery pack solve the stand problem?
@@RSI24 it very well might. Worth a try for sure
Nice
Cool idea but doesnt the battery life only get extended by about 1h? In custom mode you drain anout 90 watts at peak Performance. So how does it work?
Really bad idea to block the intake vents.
You call that portable that's Avery sick idea.
However big you think the legion go is, its bigger in real life. I know this shit heavy asf
what is your keyboard?
Search online for "HyperX Alloy Origins 65 (HyperX Red)" (without the quotes)
What’s the maximum hours you played at performance mode with that battery
@@ben7301 with the battery attached I would say about 3 hrs maybe 3.5

Should have kept your Lego and done this battery hack😂
@HandheldHorizon But why the Ally X has double the battery lol
1) more expensive
2) smaller screen
3) 1080p
4) no detachable controllers or kickstand
@Ravage017 Don't do that, the pros on the Ally side are so long vs the cons its not worth my time. And not to mention just makes the Lego look worse
