mine is reporting overtemp and wont let me use it despite it not actually being warm. No response from support. Im not able to pop off the screen and buttons like you did.
Could you change the 18650 batteries on your own? Will it work with other capacities or is it hardcoded somewhere in the firmware? This looks like a pretty good power bank and I'm thinking of buying it.
@@ChargerLAB It would be awesome if you made a video replacing the cells in this battery bank. Would be very helpful for people who might want to repair one and reduce ewaste. (Great videos btw!)
@@xXfireball127Xx In China at least this thing has a 2 year warranty so I don't think any ordinary user would need to try repairing it anyway. And IMO the board would actually be more vulnerable than the cells, that's how my last power bank (not this one) ended up dying, and this one (that I'm also currently using) would most likely ended up dying the same way as well, but it's probably less likely to happen giving that it does have proper protection circuit.
The display will die much earlier (cause the humidity in the air) than the battery will. In time, the electrolytic capacitors in the DC/DC converter will shift much less Coulomb than the battery. This could be avoided by running the power bank at half power, so that the capacitors never get above 45 °C. All in all, the display and the power capacitors will die before the batteries, after one year of daily use, or three years of moderate use...
I hope the team at Shargeek sees this, this is a straight rip off their own product, serious court time comin, not sure if you are aware of this ChargerLAB, this product is a copy.
I got my kickstarter unit and it was amazing for the 48 hours it lasted before the screen flickered and it died. No obvious magic smoke but it won't come back on no matter what I do to it. :(
if the positive connect with negative. We call it in series. If the positive connect with positive or negative connect with negative.we call it in parallel.
@@ChargerLAB I know what parallel and in series means :) but in this pack are 8 Cells and you mentioned 16,8V so this is 4s2p pack, so I'm confused what a 5s+3p means?
What I mean is there’re 5 cells connect with others in series, that’s 4 series connections. Another 3 cells connect with others in parallel, that’s 2 parallel connections. Same meaning, just different expression.😁
There's a total of 8 cells, five cells are connected in series, and the other three are connected in parallel, each cell is 3200mAh, which is equal to 25600mAh. You can also use "Wh" to measure it. It's just the product promotion, you know.
@@Anonymousg64 They lie about capacity. 4s2p = 16.8v 4.6ah battery. So its 4.6ah and 77.28Wh. This is defiantly 4s2p or the display wouldn't show 16.8v battery voltage @ 100% charge. 3s=12.6v and 5s=21v. It is a cool charger though, I like the color screen. But for the price I would get the Baseus 100W 20000mAh Power Bank. 100W Power delivery output not 100Wh, but it actually has a 20Ah battery.
@@JeromeADavis well it is because the batteries are not used as individual cells at 3.7v but in fact are 4 batteries in series which makes 14.8v so the capacity on that is 3200 x 2 = 6400 as there’s 8 batteries inside.

@@xXfireball127Xx I think I posted a video someplace. There's many many way better options at better prices. The only thing cool is the screen. I was disappointed charging my laptop this overheated and shut down.
This is the most detailed review of a powerbank I have ever seen! Awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Solid review dude, looking up each ic is extra extra. A+
Full-range PPS in a airline-friendly package power bank. Amazing! Sanho (and every other manufacturer) had better be taking notes.
but you didnt teardown the battery pack? are the 18650 batteries easily replacable when they lose charge in a few years?
If you have a spot welder
I'm really impressed with the details you provide. Please also mention the quality of components as well.
5 series and 3 in parallel???
How that that work out with 8 cells???
So can you replace the batteries?
Better to not have music,
so audience can HEAR you.
On of my favourite channel.🥰🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
apparently this thing can only do 100W for 10 minutes before overheating
how did you get that display cover off I cant get anything between the plastic and the cover. I got the button easy enough
So much details and then absolutely nothing about batteries. Seem to be made by Samsung though. At least in this particular unit.
My dude here came full swing with the details! Awesome video btw
This one gave me less anxiety because you could put it all back together and use it when you're done...
Great teardown! Could you give details on what IPS display is used? thanks!
Anker 200w power bank & shargeek 170, protocol support & tread down please.❤️
More videos like this. Your contents are very useful to me
What is the shelf life in years for these battery banks? Thanks.
what is the display module used
Preorder ended and now the price has raised from 99 to $170
is that how you pronounce sharge? idk
What size are the exterior case screws? I lost 3 of mine
hi bro. could i re-install fimrware of microchipset? make a new logo on screen?
in the future when there are higher capacity 18650 cells, would it be possible to swap out the cells currently inside the powerbank?
Yes
What I don't understand is. Can I charge the bank using the DC and at the same time charge the phone connected to the bank?
TL;DW The parts are top notch and put together well, so it works as well as it looks
And it's also pretty expensive for being a powerbank, even though I don't regret paying for that price.
I got mines yesterday.... i love it
Is a mos-tube synonymous with a mosfet?
Yeah I was wondering the same thing MOSFET is short enough for metal oxide semiconductor field affect transistor lol 😂 miss the clean room days!

how do I charge it, as the battery is drained and I tried charging with usb charger but it's not charging

Also curious. I'd kill to have one that I could (easily) put my own batteries in, or at least rewrap the ones included.
Do you know how to reset this powerbank? Mine stopped working after a week, and says "low energy" and will not charge
I bought one ,yes ,it is great .now we become one of the distributor all around the world and can give discounts for it.
Wow! You did a great job on this one!

Were you able to get a replacement for that lemon?
@@MikeTrieu Not yet but I got an email this week that they're setting up a US warehouse for "after-sales support" so I actually have a little hope now
So did the help u?
@@nolnav4798 Actually yes, 2 weeks ago my replacement finally arrived and is working great. But it did take over 6 months.
Couldn't follow. The music was too much. I am sure I know it from somewhere.
this case it esay to re-pack battery.
Looking forward to receiving mine once production is completed, will def be part of my EDC
Did you ever receive yours after all?
@@federicomendoza6094 indeed, ordered two got two, use them for many things a didn’t think I’d be using a power bank for.
Very well explained
Glad it was helpful!
You speak very well and clearly, you explain well. Thanks. Your videos are great.

Zmi 2 200watt power bank need to tear down
Hi, I got one of these but it's not working and I would like to have some help fixing it
Hi, I think the best way to contact with seller and get a new one.
Thankyou. Best video on this powerbank.
Glad it helped
That's very detailed review....Nice 👌👍
what do you mean with "there are 5 cells in series and 3 in parallel"?
if the positive connect with negative. We call it in series.
If the positive connect with positive or negative connect with negative.we call it in parallel.
@@ChargerLAB I know what parallel and in series means :)
but in this pack are 8 Cells and you mentioned 16,8V so this is 4s2p pack, so I'm confused what a 5s+3p means?
What I mean is there’re 5 cells connect with others in series, that’s 4 series connections.
Another 3 cells connect with others in parallel, that’s 2 parallel connections.

Thank you for the good insight.
appreciate it
Kudos

@@ChargerLAB you do. Thank you
Thanks a lot
Where can I buy?
Five connected in series and three connected in parallel? So that's 15 cells all... I don't think that's 15 cells you're holding...
There's a total of 8 cells, five cells are connected in series, and the other three are connected in parallel, each cell is 3200mAh, which is equal to 25600mAh. You can also use "Wh" to measure it. It's just the product promotion, you know.
@@ChargerLAB it is strange combination. How can it utilize the power in all batteries?
@@ChargerLAB wrong, its 4s2p, 4 in series, those are then paralleled

Teardown Storm2 Slim
We' re planning.
Is it made in China?
I think most chargers are either made in China or made in Vietnam
Is it high quality?
One thing I don’t like on this is the capacity that they lie about at 25,600mah the capacity on this is only 6,400mah.
There's no way that's true.

Lithium ion battery capacity is measured at 3.7 volts.
This IS Big crap
This thing is trash. Only has about 48wh of power and at 100w pd it overheats in about 15 min.
Could you link anything about these issues? Planning to get one of these and hadn't heard this
