Hi folks, the Dell PW7018LC power bank has a few foibles that I felt needed to be pointed out, as the other reviews out there are just unboxing videos (useless!) or don't describe the functionality.
Same here and he made me chuckle a few times. I said, out loud: But can it charge a phone? He said, and if you wanna charge your phone…..video was on point! I work from home and have a Dell. Was tired of seeing videos about gamers, omg lol. I want this! Hope the price is right!!
It can add another 5 hours or so to an XPS 13 9320. It delivers the full 65 watts advertised at the advertised 65 Wh of capacity. How long it lasts depends on your device's power consumption of course. It charges at 33 watts, so takes about 2 hours to charge.
Can you explain how to exactly charge the power bank itself? Do you have to turn it on? How long to fully charge it? What are the various ways to charge the bank? For instance, can you charge it with any old C phone charger?
can i charge my acer nitro 5 laptop from this power bank? and can i get only cable of it which is used to charge laptop via powr bank i.e pin with type c
YES. it's a standalone portable power source. Up to 65wh Haven't used for laptop (charges upto 65w systems = *single time* 2 hours estimated laptop use 6-cell 65wh) I use for smartphones (just as fast as wall using built-in cord = rapid adaptive charging = 5+ full charge cycles for portable devices) *it's adaptive charging up to 65w* (only 10w MAX, if using USB port)
correct, but having used this for a while I think this is all part of the experience they're wanting people to have. That being, it's designed to be used in-line with power most of the time so it's kept topped up. It can be used to power things like phones but that's not the main use case.
@@MrsBlaileen1 then this isn't the right product for you. Anker and other brands also sell 65 watt USB-PD power banks that don't have in-built cables. Look around and see what you can find.
It's about a 50 watt/hour battery providing 65 watts of power. A gaming laptop probably needs a 90 watt supply, so I don't think I would recommend this for gaming.
Can it work like UPS for notebook? When power is on - then it suply notebook from powe line, but when power is lost - then it suply notebook from batterys?
@@user-rd3lj4gn4s If the power pack is charged, it can provide enough passthrough power to operate and charge your laptop. If the power pack also needs charging, the laptop can only charge slowly until the power pack has finished charging. You can still use the laptop, it just charges slowly.
Btw how much mah does it have? Let's say you will only use it when your laptop battery goes down to 10%, then how many times can it fully charge it (provided that the Dell powerbank is on 100%)?
You just plug the USB-C power supply into it. It has a USB-C port for charging it, and a USB-C cable for connecting to the laptop. The benefit of this battery is it can be charged while it's in use. It's connected "in-line" if you get what I mean.
At the time no - got a hot deal on the Dell one. I do have other 65 watt units from other manufacturers though (which my kids use). USB-C is the great equaliser.
help please guys, my power button doesn't work anymore and doesn't charge anymore my phone or any device ... my powervank is fully charged though 😢😢 what can I do ??
Thanks,been reading reviews for 20 mins trying to find out just what you said in 2 mins :) will get this for work latitude.

I'm watching this on my xps's 13 plus oled screen with 10% battery left. Thanks for the video.
It can, but only one cycle before it too goes flat.
Best explanation for that device. Thank You, Vinny 🇺🇸
Most useful review. Would love if you have notes on how long it tends to last and recharge.
It can add another 5 hours or so to an XPS 13 9320. It delivers the full 65 watts advertised at the advertised 65 Wh of capacity. How long it lasts depends on your device's power consumption of course. It charges at 33 watts, so takes about 2 hours to charge.
Bro im good video ... I didn't think of the obvious use of the Dell laptop charger to charge it up ty!

Just curious to know, will the powerbank charge the laptop one full cycle ( say 0 to 100%) without supply from wall socket ?
Slightly less than one full charge I've discovered. Mainly due to efficiency losses via the DC-DC conversion within the USB-PD process.
@@KaldekBoch Thanks for the response 🙂

Up to 65wh

YOU FORGOT TO SAY HOW MANY TIMES YOU CAN CHARGE THAT LAPTOP WITH THIS PB
The USB-C output cable from the power bank can’t be removed, correct? So if you wanted a longer cable to connect the power bank, you’re out of luck.
correct, but having used this for a while I think this is all part of the experience they're wanting people to have. That being, it's designed to be used in-line with power most of the time so it's kept topped up. It can be used to power things like phones but that's not the main use case.
@@KaldekBoch I would want to use it to charge my Steam Deck so I’d prefer to be able to use any length cable I want.

@@KaldekBoch Thanks, appreciate it.
@@KaldekBochdoes that mean if I bent the USB c piece and it came out, it renders the charger useless
Can you charge any laptop with it?
I am going to buy dell g15 but battery life is really poor
So can i consider this ?
It's about a 50 watt/hour battery providing 65 watts of power. A gaming laptop probably needs a 90 watt supply, so I don't think I would recommend this for gaming.
@@kaltek797 but does it charge the gaming laptop,( my laptop original charger is 180w)
Can it work like UPS for notebook? When power is on - then it suply notebook from powe line, but when power is lost - then it suply notebook from batterys?
Yes, that is how it works.
@@KaldekBoch and it can work 24 hours 365 days?
@@user-rd3lj4gn4s I'm sure if you left it connected to the power supply, yes.
@@KaldekBoch this litle power suply can suply notebook + charge notebook battery + charge its own batterys at once? I am not sure...

Which charger is compatible to charge power bank?
I believe it requires a 65 watt USB-PD charger to charge it. It certainly doesn't charge off a standard phone USB-C charger.
whats the output from this power bank?
I had no idea you could turn it on like that😅
I thought i got a defective power bank😂
whats the output from this power bank?
(modern replacement @ same price *less attached cord* ) Targus 140W USB-C Portable Power Bank
Can this be used as a powerbank for mobile phones as well?
Yes, it can charge phones as well. I wouldn't buy it for that sole purpose though, I consider it a secondary feature.
it will be a superfast charger for phones since it uses 65w
Btw how much mah does it have? Let's say you will only use it when your laptop battery goes down to 10%, then how many times can it fully charge it (provided that the Dell powerbank is on 100%)?
@@alexpaz7904 It's 50 watt hours. Can only charge an XPS 13 Plus 9320 once (fully).
@@alexpaz7904 Well that depends on the phone. If the phone supports USB-PD it will charge as fast as the phone allows.
How do you charge the power bank itself? x

@@KaldekBoch You forgot to tell Jade that it has to charge from only the Dell power cord. Not from just any charger.
@@Frip36 I've charged it multiple times from non-Dell chargers. Dell has no magic here - it's just USB-C PD.
I charged it using my Apple USB-C charger. (I used my Dell charger to charge my laptop directly).
Did you look at any alternatives to Dell?
At the time no - got a hot deal on the Dell one. I do have other 65 watt units from other manufacturers though (which my kids use). USB-C is the great equaliser.
Still need one of these or an equivalent
Have you found an alternative? Thank you

I have the same Problem where you able to solve it?
@@Thechoosenone12 did you guys solve this issue?
Suport PPS super fast charging for samsung
It's just the USB-PD standard up to 65 watts, so I can't speak for your Samsung if it uses customised charging methods.
@@KaldekBoch ok my friend, thanks
I bought 3 of this powerbanks and 1 is already dead...I got them dirt cheap so I cannot really complain but still...
