Hi, do you know or could you test in car how fast zendure super tank recharges, of course if you have some better car charger 40w or more: And if perhaps you have dash cam, that you plug , how fast it charges, while dash cam is plugged in zendure, Thank you
Hi there, thanks for your comment. I own a 45W and a 65W car charger and the Super Tank can use the full speed of these chargers. EVen though the chargers are getting pretty hot. With this speed it takes roughly 2,5 -3 hours to fully charge the Super Tank. While charging the Super Tank can use passthrough charging to power the dash cam with up to 60W but normally one of the USB A ports with 18W should be enough for a dash cam. In my opinion the battery can serves your purpose well, but just keep in mind to not leave the battery in the car all the time because of the extreme temperature changes.
@@TheIdeaofTechnology thank you for info, i will have thermometer to check temp. In cold weather ill put it in some box or some styropor around and in hot under seat but not straight on floor, so that air can go around which chargers to you have, you think if to buy more expensive ones, that they wouldnt get hot? what about super tank, does it become hot in some scenarios, i assume for dash cam which takes so little power it shouldnt be problem Thank again for info which i was looking for
@@rs-gg4xu Okay, that sounds like a good solution. I own the LinkOn charger here: geni.us/pi9YYsG Works pretty good and can put out 45W PD but they also have a 90W solution already. There is definitely a difference in quality when it comes to getting cray hot and if possible look for a solution that is GaN powered because this will result in smaller, more efficient, and colder chargers. The Super Tank will pull as much power from the charger as possible (up to the 100W max) so a good charger is necessary. The Super Tank only gets slightly warm to the touch while fully charging in the region where the ports and PCB sits. Heat is no big problem with the Super Tank. Especially when it only needs to power one low energy device like a dash cam.
@@rs-gg4xu Do you mean any other power banks with pass-through charging? I highly recommend the Zendure Super Mini. It is super small, has a high capacity for the size (10000mah), and comes with two ports and reliable pass-through charging and modes for low energy consuming devices. And the 18W charging is fast enough for modern devices. Alternatively, you can get the solution from Anker.
I am still waiting for 10000-12000 mAh bank with 2x Type C + 1x Type A. (with PD). There are bigger ones like Samsung EB-P5300XJ (20000mAh), and smaller ones, like Cellularline Manta 5000 (5000mAh, also bad because of low power and not USB PD), but for some reasons nothing around 10000mAh.
Yes you can do so. The Zendure Powerbank will only draw as much power as needed. On the other side you will need to check if the correct voltage rails are supported on both sides so you can utilize the full 18w of Power. Otherwise charging will be slower but always possible.
I think bigger battery banks seem like a good option for anyone who are on a longer trip and want to use solar panels for charging. A couple of 20.000mAh battery banks would help me get through maybe a couple of weeks of overcast weather (which sometimes happens during summer where i live), and once the sun finally shine again, a solar panel with 2.1A output will charge a 20100mAh battery bank in about 10 hours. Considering it is not 100% sunny all day every day, i can try to focus on hiking when there is some cloud cover (which is more comfortable than hiking in the hot sun), and once the sky clears up, i can take a break and charge while i sit in the shade under some trees, or maybe taking a swim to cool off if im near a lake or river. Of course things will not always work out as nicely as this, but it will at least be possible pretty often... And now with Putin threatening to unleash Armageddon, with potential EMP strikes, my 2x 28W solar panels and 2x 20.100mAh battery banks gives me at least a slight relief. As for the survival part, my basement should be a reasonably good fallout shelter after some very minor "enhancements" - and my video glasses (which are stored in an EMP protected environment) will give me some nice entertainment while im in serious "lockdown mode" for 3 months 😏
What's the main situation you would need a power bank for some extra time? Let me know in the comments.
We have some regular brownouts in my country
Where is the zendure super tank pro???
I apreciate this guide you are underrated
Excellent video
Intro looks dope

which chargers to you have, you think if to buy more expensive ones, that they wouldnt get hot?

@@TheIdeaofTechnology thank you for all info. Do you maybe know of any other which you have or dont, that also has reliable pass through

Hello, can I charge the Zendure Supermini 18W power bank via the USB-C of Apple Macbook charger 30W ?
Yes you can do so. The Zendure Powerbank will only draw as much power as needed. On the other side you will need to check if the correct voltage rails are supported on both sides so you can utilize the full 18w of Power. Otherwise charging will be slower but always possible.
@@TheIdeaofTechnology Thank you! I was worried about the 30W charger will "burn" the 18W power bank.......
