Very good review, great job .
Please continue like that
Great Review Mate
Aye bro your videos keep improving man, keep it up
Thanks :)
very good review, i love it!
i am trying to see how I can replace the cable to fit for my Sony laptop
Good point of talking about the heat of this device when discharging to netbooks I heard it over heat up a lot and some cases only gives certain percentages of Charging to some laptops not fully charged
Anyway I got one to use with Dell E 6440 i hope not being disappointed
This video is almost five years old now. Is there a better option for Precision 5520 now? I would like to not need to power it off to use the power bank.
thank you for the awesome review! when you tested the charge from 0~70% was that with laptop off or while it's on?
it was off
+CPU modder thank you!
idk why but I'm only getting about 54% while it's off :(
it may be down to some variation in the units that dell produces, i may have just gotten a 'lucky' one or the conditions that i am using it are better for it. i know when it gets hot i expect to see closer to 50 and 60% than when it is really cold
thank you, i just wasn't sure if i had defective unit or not
Is this compatible with Dell Inspiron 15R 5537?
Hi... thank you for the nice video. I would like to know if this Power companion is compatible to the old Laptop like Inspiron 1545 and 1525. and if yes, how do get that connected as it has a 7.4mm connector and this power companion has a 4.5mm connector.
Thanks, there may be a chance using adapters though the laptop is not on dells supported device list, accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&sku=451-BBMV
if it does work you should be able to find 4.5mm to 7.4mm adapters or wire your own

Gonna buy 2-3 of these bad boys for mobile video editing :)
Hi...is the 18000Mah version charge my Dell 15R Inspiron SE 7520?
it might but it is not on the list of supported devices accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&sku=451-BBMV
If you use this as a pass thru does it replace your power brick or do you plug it in as if the companion was your laptop?
it does not replace the power brick as it sits between the power brick and the laptop when connected, i wish it did as it would make for a really simple power solution
CPU modder ahh would have been way better if it did, but it's still worth it
Nice videos, but it's 18K and 12K mAh not 1800 or 1200 as stated in video
Dam..... how did i miss that :/
You need to learn the difference between 1000 and 100. Think I'll stop this video and find someone elses for it.
I like how you speak on this videos. its funny.. but I like.
I got my xps 15 bundled with the 18k mAh model and it's been a jem. I can run for days with my phone hooked up to it
how much % are you getting from the battery? I charged while laptop was off and I got about 54% :/
+Zen0s Always expect no more than 2/3 of your external battery's capacity to actually be used. It has to do with up/down conversion of voltage when the power travels to your laptop.
+7Valletta so my battery isn't defective? I was expecting 70% like it was shown on video:(
+Zen0s Batteries degrade over time too, if you use yours a lot I wouldn't be surprised. Generally good portable batteries last a bit under the usual laptop battery lifespan of about 2 years. You can always get a 20k+ mAh battery from Anker or something
thank you
Is this compatible with any 65w dell?
I do believe so, but I would also check that supported list as well before buying
How many times can I change laptop with power bank
Depends on the model and the size of the battery, if the battery is smaller than the battery bank then you will get more than a full charge but if it is bigger then you will get less than a full charge
One of the features built into Windows is that it adjusts the balance between power efficiency and processing power depending on whether or not the laptop is running off of AC power or battery. This creates an issue with external batteries. Windows should see them as AC power. As a result, it will actually run down your battery faster unless you manually change the power profile. Did you change the power profile when determining the additional battery life you get from this unit?
i had the device on power save the entire time for all the tests
CPU modder I was hoping you didn't. Thanks for the info.
Has anyone tested this with the Insprions by chance? I know they're compatible with them as well
Inspirons guys are too poor to try one. :)
For anyone still reading this, I ended up getting it and it does easily double my battery life with it!
UpBee2 which Inspiron do you have, please?
I have the Inspiron 5758, the 17 inch 5000 series. Mine is the model before the graphics card was added, so it's a little older.
do you have the electric input values for your device? mine is Inspiron and it says "19.5V @3.34A"
U mean 18000 and 12000?
exactly what I was thinking, because an 1800maH device won't even charge a cellphone(!)
What if my dell uses USB-C?
How much do they cost
around $150 aud
Don't buy this one. Buy an USB-C PD (power delivery spec) powerbank. Dell won't replace the proprietary connector. Mine broke just after two years out of warranty.
So what did you do to charge the battery bank?
hi, i have an asus ux303ub, i want to buy the power companion, if i have the adapter for my laptop, this battery will work with no problem?, have you tested in other notebooks?
Regards!
i would say as long as the connector fits it will work, but keep in mind that there are many other universal power banks that will deliver the same or more capacity for the same or less price
CPU modder can you recommend me one?
this one from Intocircuit 15000 is of good vale, it comes in at about $40 where as the dell one comes in at arround $120 and is only about 3000 mah less. i'd also take a look on amazon as there are also many other with larger capacity and better values www.amazon.com/dp/B00OSYLXKU/ref=psdc_7073960011_t1_B00BB5GR0A
does this work with Dell Latitude e6410 ?
Hey mate do you have an email address?
yeah i have lots, you can use the one found in the about us section on TH-cam
I can't recommend this device if your laptop comes with anything above a 65w charger.
I own a Dell Vostro 7590 with an i7-9750H and a GTX 1650 which comes with a 130w power adapter. The laptop needs to be powered off completely before plugging in the power bank in order to charge and use the laptop at the same time. I could NOT consistently plug in the power companion 18000 and get it to charge my laptop while the laptop was running as the battery bank went immediately into overload mode and turned off. My laptop was at idle when I tried plugging it in (3w-4w power consumption) and I disable my graphics card and always keep my laptop in battery saving mode.
If you do turn the laptop off and plug in the power bank afterwards, it works okay. I'm getting a charge rate of 40w when charging which is about what my laptop charger delivers. I'd definitely would recommend installing Battery Bar so you can monitor the charge rate as the battery bank can be intermittent at times turning on and off while delivering 5w charging rates.
As he mentioned in the review, this device gets extremely hot to the touch when charging. If your laptop doesn't have a dedicated/discrete graphics card and runs solely off the integrated graphics and a dual or quad core cpu, this power bank will likely work fine as well as you have the barrel plug port for it.
Too expensive
For as much as they cost you can buy a 50,000mah battery bank for laptops from amazon
lol, dont be fooled, the chinese print 50000 on it but its not. That would be as big as 2 bricks..... bullshit.
