    Hi mate. Great channel. Very cool power bank but as mentioned in other comments not yet available in UK. I just bought the Anker 737 power bank - still very expensive for a power bank at £110 (on discount on Amazon Prime Day). 24,000mAh plus up to 140W charging the thing is a monster. It charges my Legion 7 via USB PD. Also has a smart display. Although it's price is back up to £140 now, I reckon it will be discounted again on Black Friday.

      Sadly these are not user-replaceable, atleast easily. However the batteries should last a reasonable amount of time before you experience issues. However if you do ever choose to try and replace them here's some info.
      Unscrew the backplate, disconnect all connectors and move the black pcb out of the way, loosen those 2 screws and remove the plate.
      Use tool to try and remove the lcd plate (VERY HARD, even with the right tools)
      Push out from the opened side towards the side with ports
      Then remove the solder on the battery connecters (on pcb)
      Use light heat to remove adhesive and batteries
      Get new batteries ready and place in.
      Currently I'm working on a case for it to hopefully make them easily replaceable in the future.

    It has a little clock, okay but what is positive about this? If it’s for the timer okay. But a clock needs to be powered 24/7 by either the built in battery or a 3v cell battery or it will lose track of time. Which means - if the built in battery is used - the clock will reset if fully drained.

    • @RoBoT24435
      @RoBoT24435 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The timer is only used to track how long your current session (input/output) is. It does not have a 24 hour clock to tell you the time of day.

    I assume those are 18650 cells and I would like to know if they are self-replaceable. I didn't see anything about it on Amazon which is what took me to youtube to search for a review. Having seen this review, I'm beginning to think that since it was not covered, that they are perhaps not self-replaceable. Appreciate a response as I'm sure many others would appreciate as well. Thanks.

      Some batteries charge on a curve. That is, they charge at different rates depending on the current battery percentage. A lot of cell phones don't charge at max speed when they are at like 95% for example.
      Add to that what the Author of this video said. 45 watts could be what the charger is rated at, and might be the maximum current draw for situations where you're actively using the device & charging batteries simultaneously.

    Dont buy from this company. My screen crapped out after a month of light use, so now i have no idea what capacity i have left, and parasitic drain was high. I have attempted to contact shark geek multiple times. They replied initially with instructions to perform a reset, which i did, and screen still buggered. Since that reply and my response advising reset did not fix, many follow ups by me have gone unanswered. I have not been able to instigate any warranty return / exchange / refund, as they simply will not answer.
    Considering priced as a very premium product in the space - the fact that a) mine broke so early and b) if you do have problem, you have ZERO warranty as they just will not answer if you have problem - do not buy. Their support department is obviously non existent, it is all about sales, sales, sales of what is likely cheap electronics behind flashy marketing and pricing to make you believe it is a PREMIUM product.
    Will now have to try get consumer affairs onto the case, as well as letting everyone know on as many platforms as i can what they are really like as a company.
