I'd imagine most people would plug their laptop charger into the AC socket rather than a fan. In the full review we'll test laptop chargers, phone chargers, TVs, fans and other items. Most laptop chargers and other devices that use modern switch mode power supplies can run on 110V or 220V. But some loads, like fans for example, are usually only designed to run on a specific voltage.
Nice product! However, after checking the price... the cheapskate in me says "oh well, I'll just stick with a 2000+php car jump starter/powerbank/torch etc."
just wanted to say thank you for a clear, precise, well spoken video without loads of 'Errr' and Um's'. If only more vids on youtube were this well made and presented, Thank you
I just bought the Firefly bulb with infrared sensor.. it's freaking sensitive, which is a good thing. I bought the light because We're having a thief problem in our village. Thank You very Much for Your Videos, it helps Me alot.
Yes, it's very very sensitive :P It's actually more like radar than infrared but for whatever reason Firefly advertise it as infrared. Perhaps because people are more used to the idea of passive infrared (PIR) sensors. I'm glad it's working for you! It's certainly better to be too sensitive than not sensitive enough when it comes to security.
I use a power bank a bit like this to power my electronic musical keyboard. The one I have is not from Rav Power but it's from a brand called Floureon. It has a capacity that's even bigger than the ones you've shown here (146 watt-hours) and the inverter is rated at 200 watts continuous, 250 watts peack power. It works well for what I use it for!
What country are you in? Is what you test usable in the U.S.? Trying to educate myself on different things so my choices made are what is best for where I live and for my needs.
Hmm I'll have to check with them on that. The one they sent me is certainly 220V. For many people it won't matter because their laptop charger will work with both 110V and 220V. But there are some things when the voltage will matter and for that reason I recommended to Ravpower PH that they import the 220V version instead of the 110V.
It's a review unit, I didn't buy it. You can find it on Lazada in the PH and on Amazon in the US and UK. There's links and more information in the video description. I'm glad you like my review :)
*Durability is very important mentioning, i Have a Ravpower Rp-pb055 and i used to watch tv ,but really was not for long 1 hour 🤣🤣 any way this product is incredible*
This item is sold inside the Philippines so you don't need to ship from Amazon. But if ever you want to order from Amazon, you can order just like any other website. Signup, select the item, add your credit card details and address. Although some people prefer to use a forwarding company like Johnny Air Plus.
just wondering if you can power up a laptopn with no battery thru type c, my laptopn is type, but my battery got busted.. so I am thinking of this.. can I charge the powerbank while the laptop is on.. what if you unplug the charger.. can it still power up the laptop with no interuption
how many watts in average does a tv consume per hr? what does 110v mean? so the current is less? and cant supply a sustained current to 220v appliances thats why they're slow?
Depends on the size and technology of the TV. A 32" LED smart TV might consume around 30 watts. Some countries use 110V and some use 220/240V. If you look at your laptop power supply, tv power supply, phone charger, etc, most of them will work on either 110V or 220V and you won't notice any difference. But items with motors will spin slower on the lower voltage. Or if you put a 110V fan on a 220V power supply it would spin faster and most likely get damaged. Some 110V appliances plugged into a 220V socket will blow up, catch on fire or blow a fuse inside.
if you plug 220v on 110v, the appliance will be underpowered. If you plug 110v on 200v, you will destroy, set fire, explode your product. no exaggeration, no joke.
Gadget Addict so what about those 12v devices? dies that mean theyre nit as power hungry? is volt a measure of how hungry a device is? i know from just watching your videos that amp hours and watt hours are a neasure if capacity. thank btw, i cant apprecitar enough how educational your videos are, including thr chats from other subscribers
If you have a 110V/220V AC to 9V DC power adapter, it should work fine. As for how long it lasts, it depends on how much power your amp consumes. You need to multiply voltage by current. E.g. 9V 2A would be 18 watts. Although usually the rating on the amp would be under full load and lower volumes would consume less power.
sorry, I'm not very techie. This is the lead for the amp which is for a roland mobile ac www.amazon.co.uk/Roland-Acoustic-Power-Replacement-Adapter/dp/B00F5VPORS/ref=pd_bxgy_267_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=QQACT8PQFAZ75XN95WSV any advice gratefully received
I don't have access to digital scales right now so my measurement isn't exact. But the larger 27,000 mAh is around 1.6KG and the smaller 20,100 mAh is around 1.3KG
Actually, I've seen these for awhile now, even saw one in my local walmart on clearance for something like $30 (original price of $90) USD but unfortunately I couldn't get it at the time, although it didn't seem like it was a great quality either from looking at it. I don't really see it as much of a game changer though, because converting from DC to AC then back to DC wastes a fair amount of power, especially when a lot of the devices you'd probably power with it usually run off DC anyway, for example if you want to charge a laptop, you can find quite a few power banks that will output 19V but if you must have AC then ~150W inverters usually cost about $20, yeah the size of these are much more convenient to carry but you're certainly paying a premium for it. I'm sure there are better options, but here's a link to one such charger: www.ebay.com/itm/Emergency-Auto-Car-Jump-Starter-Power-Bank-Battery-Charger-30000mAh-12V-16V-19V-/302226187877?hash=item465e15a665:g:dbYAAOSw8oFXyHuZ&vxp=mtr
I normally don't approve comments with links but you raise a reasonable alternative and I think it's worth sharing. I actually demonstrated the exact same thing in a video before :) I still think the Ravpower is best for portability and simplicity but for those who want to go the budget route, this is an option.
great product but I am not going to buy it because recently I just bought a 12v 20,000 mah lithium battery so I can connect it either power inverter or a 5v USB phone charger
12v multiply to 20ah is 240w of power. I have that...20ah lithium ion battery pack and a 150w/12v power inverter. Better than any battery banks around.
Good question. Based on the watt hours, we can estimate how long each load will last. Although it becomes a bit more complicated because as the power draw increases, you actually get less out of the battery. So if we did the capacity test with 1A and then again with 2.4A, we'd get a lower mAh rating the second time. Anyway, let's say the battery gave us around 55Wh, in theory that means we could run a 55 watt load for 1 hour, a 27.5W load for 2 hours. So 55 / 35 = 1.5 hours. In reality, because the load is higher, we'd probably see poorer results.
I guess you could plug your EKS charger into this and charge the scooter. But it's probably not the most efficient way to extend the range of your scooter and I'm not sure if any EKS can be charged and driven at the same time.
That's true. But you can't really carry around a deep cycle lead-acid battery. And those batteries generally require maintenance. I guess it really depends on how you plan to use it :)
If you had a 110/220 charger for your ebike, you could plug it into this powerbank. It might not be the fastest way to charge your bike and might not give the biggest range boost, but it would probably work. It's a modified sine-wave inverter which we're going to talk more about in the full reviews :)

Gadget Addict I
can you use an uk ac plug on it
Can you tell me if the units have pure sine wave output?
just wanted to say thank you for a clear, precise, well spoken video without loads of 'Errr' and Um's'. If only more vids on youtube were this well made and presented, Thank you
Nice little inverter. When you do your testing, see if the fans/motors hum when in use. Less hum, better sine-wave conversion.
I will do! I'm also trying to get access to an oscilloscope although I don't know if I'll be able to do it in time.
I just bought the Firefly bulb with infrared sensor..
it's freaking sensitive, which is a good thing.
I bought the light because We're having a thief problem in our village.

The bigger one is sold out. Lol I guess someone bought it out after seeing your video :D
WOW :D amazing, I would totally get one when I have the budget. :D
I love Gadget Addict Channel !
What country are you in? Is what you test usable in the U.S.? Trying to educate myself on different things so my choices made are what is best for where I live and for my needs.
Cool review. Interesting facts.
It's helping to choose desired item. See you again. Thank you.
love that 220 version. extra juice for laptop :)
i've been looking for a powerbank with a large capacity, ill probably get this, ill just wait for your review
I have one of those plug and play wifi modems where you just plug it in and use it. This and that would be perfect on a long road trip.
i've checked your Lazada link on the big one. it's also has an ac output of 110v.
Hmm I'll have to check with them on that. The one they sent me is certainly 220V. For many people it won't matter because their laptop charger will work with both 110V and 220V. But there are some things when the voltage will matter and for that reason I recommended to Ravpower PH that they import the 220V version instead of the 110V.
Is it compatible for tablet and smart phone
Mr. Gadget I really really like ur review especially that power bank, can I ask if did u buy and where?
It's a review unit, I didn't buy it. You can find it on Lazada in the PH and on Amazon in the US and UK. There's links and more information in the video description. I'm glad you like my review :)
*Durability is very important mentioning, i Have a Ravpower Rp-pb055 and i used to watch tv ,but really was not for long 1 hour 🤣🤣 any way this product is incredible*
Hi can you do a review for Yoobao 42,000 with AC? ty
Can you charge these with an escooter like a Xiaomi?
150euro for bigger one, if it is good quality it is not expensive. But still I trave by car so as lng as I have fuel I ave infinite power :P
Can you please test with hairclippers?
greetings! nice review mate this thing can be a lifesaver if combine with that 100 watts solar panels.
how much time you can watch tv from this ac plug, can we use desktop computer from this power bank ?
How do you order from amazon and ship here in the Philippines?
This item is sold inside the Philippines so you don't need to ship from Amazon. But if ever you want to order from Amazon, you can order just like any other website. Signup, select the item, add your credit card details and address. Although some people prefer to use a forwarding company like Johnny Air Plus.
How long does it take to charge the 220V Powerbank from completely drained? Thanks
Good question. I'll have to come back to you on that one. I'm currently measuring the charge time for the 20,100 mAh version.
Can i charge my laptop that uses 100-240v
I will not buy till ill see the full review. Thanks bro
That's probably a good idea :) The full review will include tests for the capacity, max output etc :)
The 220v versions don't seem to be in Lazada yet :/
Hopefully soon. I'll try find out the timeline :)
just wondering if you can power up a laptopn with no battery thru type c, my laptopn is type, but my battery got busted.. so I am thinking of this.. can I charge the powerbank while the laptop is on.. what if you unplug the charger.. can it still power up the laptop with no interuption
It would depend on your laptop. Some laptops won't run if there's no battery inside.
The price is quite high. It's not far off from the price of a brand new 800W genset.
how many watts in average does a tv consume per hr?
what does 110v mean? so the current is less? and cant supply a sustained current to 220v appliances thats why they're slow?

mediacoregroupph oh you bet ive heard that so many tines when I was a kid. isn't that why we got those heavy transformer blocks at home?
but these days appliances git regulators right to prevent fires? isn't that what a fuse is for?

could i run a 9v guitar amp off this .and if so for how long? cheers

any advice gratefully received
9V 500 mA is 4.5W which is a minuscule amount of power. It will easily run your amp and should last 10-20 hours
thanks for the advice, cheers
thanks for answering my question
Could you weigh it? There are no weight specs on the web site. Thanks!
I don't have access to digital scales right now so my measurement isn't exact. But the larger 27,000 mAh is around 1.6KG and the smaller 20,100 mAh is around 1.3KG
Gadget Addict Thanks! Looking forward for the complete test vlog. Keep up the great work!
Actually, I've seen these for awhile now, even saw one in my local walmart on clearance for something like $30 (original price of $90) USD but unfortunately I couldn't get it at the time, although it didn't seem like it was a great quality either from looking at it.

@3:57 lol just like I usually do with gadgets.. test right away without reading the manual.. then read the manual if it's not working
Wow this is good.
great product but I am not going to buy it because recently I just bought a 12v 20,000 mah lithium battery so I can connect it either power inverter or a 5v USB phone charger
Nice! What's the max. output on the 12V?
max around 12.6v,workable till 9.6v so I got quite a lot of power range to use
Sorry I meant the maximum current you can draw?
Gadget Addict oh,I don't know how to check on that but I tried I am able to run a 200w power inverter running a 25w fan about 6hrs
12v multiply to 20ah is 240w of power. I have that...20ah lithium ion battery pack and a 150w/12v power inverter. Better than any battery banks around.
how long will it last say for a 35W load?

Are these available to purchase in the philippines
Yes, they're available in many countries, including the Philippines. Links are in the video description :)
Hello, I have 8no.s 1.2V-2800mAh brand new rechargeable batteries. How can I make a power bank by using these batteries. Please Guide.
+Sudhir Kumar Pandey what type of battery is that?
+Sudhir Kumar Pandey it probably wouldn't be worth the effort considering the low power density compared to lithium-ion batteries.
Do an "About Me" video or a "Draw My Life" video.
Way are you in phillipines
I WANT IT TO POWER ON MY EGPU HOW ITS CALLED LINK TO AMAZON GIV ME PLZ
Can this power bank be used on any electric scooter whatsoever?
I guess you could plug your EKS charger into this and charge the scooter. But it's probably not the most efficient way to extend the range of your scooter and I'm not sure if any EKS can be charged and driven at the same time.
And of course you’d have to make sure the charger is within the maximum wattage specs of this powerbanks inverter.
Okay, so how much is it and where can I buy it from since I need one for my electric scooter
Modified sound wave?
+adamdarby43 I believe so, yes. I'm hoping to get access to an oscilloscope to check the output
yeah were dealing with a lot of losses
can it charge e bike battery
Perhaps. It depends on the draw of the charger for the e-bike.
I think its overprice. I could buy 12v-220v portable battery solar type at 5thousand pesos.
That's true. But you can't really carry around a deep cycle lead-acid battery. And those batteries generally require maintenance. I guess it really depends on how you plan to use it :)
10/10
Would it power electric bikes? 😄
