This might be a weird question but is the watt hour (Wh) specifically mentioned on the power bank itself, or at the very least the packaging it comes with? The reason I’m asking is because, in some countries they don’t allow over 20,000mah on flights as the nominal voltage they use to calculate the watt hour is 5V, not 3.7V as in the US, resulting in confiscation of said power bank. However, even those countries, the power limit is still 100 Wh (27000mah*3.7V= 100Wh), so if there’s proof that it’s 100 Wh, they let it go.
What countries use mAh? That number is irrelevant because lithium cells can vary in voltage. Lithium Titanate has a nominal voltage of 2.2V so the mah of a 100wh rating of Lithium Titanate would be nearly 50,000mah despite holding the same amount of energy.
The Poweradd is a rebranded iMuno X4G, it is literally identical and no doubt the Zendure is also identical internally but charge more for the name and design. I own 7 iMuno power banks from as far back as 2017 - not a single one has failed in the field or anywhere else. They are fantastic! Not nice to see the the charging capacity of the laptop and power bank when the laptop/power bank battery is zero to 50% as cells begin to charge-throttle when past 50% = which throttles first and how fast did each one get to 50% - the final 20% is the hardest. Also if you are not using a random 100w charger then your charge test is void as the two 100w are clearly not using their capacity if they're so far behind during charge (obvously the 65w uses the same tech IPD as Anker. My 100w is full from zero well within 90mins using a iMuto PD 100w charger yet takes 2hrs using Ankers PD 100w (something isn't right). Anyway proper power bank tests are hugely variable and to remove such variables a lot of measures have to be painstakingly put in place. However I do appreciate your efforts and vid
When you use any powerbank that can supply enough power to charge while gaming you'll see a performance increase but it's not going to over power your PC beyond its specs
I know you mentioned using a 100w power adapter to charge the battery banks but if I have my 96w macbook pro charger, can I use that as well. I understand I won't get it charged in 2 hours but with the difference of 4 watts, I'd gladly take the more time instead of more bucks. But is this possible? Do you or anyone else knows?
Question: I own the same RBP17 laptop. I've noticed that USBC charing can be hit or miss, I'm having to plug and unplug a few times before it recognizes power. Do you encounter the same problem or is this an isolated issues in my laptop. Thanks
We didn’t have a problem with it not recognizing the USBC charging bank. Though we had to use the specific usbc cable it came with to charge. If we didn’t, it didn’t recognize it at all/no charge.
Radha K. Ugo The longer cable we bought is a certified power delivery charge usbc so it works but it was more for the convenience of it being a long cable since the cables that the power banks came with were pretty short. It was nice to use when we hauled the laptop to different rooms because you can just use the anker power adapter with the long usb c cable as another charger basically instead of unplugging and moving around the razer blade pro 17 charging adapter. Extra chargers are nice :)
It is NOT a good thing that the Egoway charged that much faster than the other two. Makes me wonder if they are charging CC CV or overcharging the cells in CC and skipping the CV to let the cells rest (hopefully) back down to max charging voltage. Something about that charging speed just seems very very wrong
does this work with the Alienware M17 R2? I want to get an adapter and power bank if so. might as well go with that since both my phone and laptop can use the same adapter/bank
Would not work that well since it would mean going DC to AC to DC, losing power in all these steps. You could for most old laptops use a power bank with a 19 V DC output. I have once of these with a ~100 Wh capacity. Found it online for like $50.
Hello, amazing video but has left me with one question. My laptops power adapter goes at max for 65watts, so everything is perfect there. As my laptop's battery tops up though it lowers the wattage which is natural. So my question is will the power bank do that or does it keep supplying 65watts of power? Same thing with my phone which has a quick charge of 18 watts, will it adjust for that or am I going to destroy my phone's battery by using one of these?? Thank you very much in advance
Your device taking in the charge controls the current input. The charger and the device do a communication handshake. Charger says hey I can do 5V 9V 12V 15V 20V. Your phone says I can take 5 and 9 so I'll take 9. Charger says 9 sent. Now the typical max amperage is 3A for all of them but 20V. Your phone will take as much current as it needs and it will know to slow the current draw as the battery fills up. All good, nothing to worry about.
Two type-c output power delivery 95w, peak 100w with free ugreen 100w charger and cable. The powerbank can charge 7-6 times modern laptop with carbon fiber body and aluminum top cover. You can charge the powerbank for 5 hours using 100w the free ugreen gan charger but if you use two 100w gan charger you can charge it for 2.5 hours.
I just want a power bank and cable whenever I am out with my macbook pro that doesn't take 12 hours to charge my macbook pro. 1 or 2 hour full charge would be great. I don't always have access to a wall outlet the life of a security guard.
Your 75-100wh Macbook battery would take 1 hour to charge with a 100W output charger but the current slows as the battery fills to increase battery life. But one of these with 100w output and a capacity 20% larger than your laptop would give you one complete charge in around 1.5 to 2 hours

Aw man, I just listed a comment on another vid why battery life would be irrelevant on gaming laptops, this is why I was wrong!! Just in time, my old pack is starting to lose its juice
Finally a review that explains the difference between gaming performance on your laptop battery vs power bank vs mains. Thank you!
Thanks for the video I recommend you try to start the main part of the review ie looking at the power banks within 1 minute max
man i dont know this exist, nice video gizmo

get a 100w sticker to put on it

Great work Gizmo! I liked and subscribed, also clicked the bell icon.
The poweradd battery has been amazing for the year I have been using it
Looking forward to the 2022 version of this review!
Just ordered the Acer predator Helios 300 with i7-10750H. Get it Friday! Really want to see how good it is
How is the laptop so far?
I never found out about this before I was coming back from a trip
Excellent explanation!
I’ve had the previous version of the Zendrue for years. It’s awesome. Much prefer the older style case though. It’s closer to the PowerAdd.
Dude, is that a flamethrower on your mantle?? 😂🤘
Uh... yeah. :)

Anyone here because of the new 100w asus pd laptops?

100 bucks for a generic charger and 30 for the original laptop manufacturer LOL
Love your videos... Keep up the good work, InShaAllah you’ll become a full time tech reviewer in near future.
I'm right in the middle of watching Drillis: Etugrul. InShaAllah reminded me of that.
Yes batteries
Nice video! Thanks!
In your opinion how much more time would this add to a gs66?

@@carlachavez3556 Is that why you guys bought a different cable?

Nice video. Answered many questions I had. It's too bad engineers can't put a battery into a charger or vice versa.
Is that not exactly what a powerbank is?
huh.. its a nicely done informed video..
Cool video

Are there any Powerbanks that can provide 12v to a fish finder for many hours or do they drop below 12v?
Ravpower seems to be gone from Amazon, how are these units holding up?🤔
Hello, can you test a lenovo g50, and the difference in performance using 65watts power chord addapter against 90 watts?
I didn't get it...
why do I need an Anker 100w Power Adapter beside a Powerbank?
does this work with the Alienware M17 R2? I want to get an adapter and power bank if so. might as well go with that since both my phone and laptop can use the same adapter/bank
I don’t think so. Not sure though...
get a usb c to DC barrel power adapter then get a DC barrel laptop 28 connecter kit so there is a guaranteed chance of it working
What about ones with an actual wall socket so you can charge up older computers?
Would not work that well since it would mean going DC to AC to DC, losing power in all these steps. You could for most old laptops use a power bank with a 19 V DC output. I have once of these with a ~100 Wh capacity. Found it online for like $50.

is 100w powerbank better power for the laptop or 65w powerbank is enough? as i am using the lapop for internet browsing and watching netflix only
65W should be plenty
what about adapter cables that let us use these with older laptop plugs. EG gaming laptop with 19.5v barrel plug
they work just as well as long as the cable does not have terrible resistance.
I am going to build power bank dual type -c 100w 150000mah 24v 25ah.
Two type-c output power delivery 95w, peak 100w with free ugreen 100w charger and cable. The powerbank can charge 7-6 times modern laptop with carbon fiber body and aluminum top cover.
You can charge the powerbank for 5 hours using 100w the free ugreen gan charger but if you use two 100w gan charger you can charge it for 2.5 hours.
Can it be used without a battery inside the laptop?

Not bad, but honestly, no measurements with a voltmeter/usb meter? Oh and your laptop maybe can't draw more then 65W!?
Will this work on an Acer Aspire F5 573 series laptop?
So I how to charge my laptop if I dont have USB C?
Can I charge asus vivobook with usb 3.2 gen 1 SS ?
