FAST Power Bank: No more 2-day recharge times!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 окт 2020
- Power banks, portable USB chargers, battery banks... Whatever you want to call them, they're very handy for charging your gizmos on the go. The only trouble is that almost all of them take AGES to recharge themselves. Even though many models support Quick Charging of your gizmos, the power bank itself usually only gently sips juice from the wall outlet as it leisurely refills its internal lithium-ion cells. Typically, you may have to wait upwards of 14 HOURS for a full recharge! That's not very convenient. Enter the RAVPower 26800mAh USB C Power Bank - with 30W quick-charging INPUT for a full recharge time of only 4-5 hours! But the fun doesn't stop there...

Thanks! As the most NON techie person, I listened carefully to your excellent explanations and UNDERSTOOD.
Ya u
I've been researching for the past hour or so, and you sir explained it the best! Thank you so much for the informative video :D
Good data. Thanks Scottie
Awesome Very Glad I found you and cletis !!!
I only go for brand power banks, so Samsung and Xiaomi. Their 10.000mAh power banks are USB-C, fast charge both themselves and the devices up to 15-18W and won't break my device because they are official. They are also made of metal and are dirt cheap. Having 2 of those on hand is good enough for my needs.
My Xiaomi power bank supports in/out on the USB-C as well, but I never used it bc I don't have a USB-C to USB-C cable and the USB-A fast charges as well. It also has a wireless pad, so I use it as a charger at night, and it always stays topped off.
Well, that's weird... In all the times I have shopped for a power bank not ONCE did I find a Samsung! I found the 10000mAh Sammy with quick charge - 72€! Maybe they're just not popular in these parts.
@@ScottiesTech Here the sammy USBC one is 16€ and the Xiaomi one is 12. On the European Amazons the samsung one is about the same
Very informative. Big thanks!
Thank you 🙏
I picked up a power bank on Amazon that has solar panels on the top to help charge it. I just leave it near a light or window and it stays topped off. It has a flashlight and a small compass built in as well, so that is fun.
Myself also but takes hours to charge $50 ugh 😩 Bless U for this great video will be ordering from your links ✍🏻😉
I've seen that one on Amazon but my suspicion is it's not a 20,000 mah battery. Of all the tests I've seen there is no proof it's charging by the sun at all. Its been a year now since your post. How is it working now?
Thank You . . .
Very good , I don't have power bank and I need and look for one , good one , this info just in time, thanks
Super awesome explanations.
UPS is the best powerbank, not very portable, but still.. there are some nice laptop powerbanks, too, you could make a review on them
Thank you..
Actually you deserve more subscribers
Your channel completes me.
New viewer here. It's tough for me to keep using my older slower power banks because they take so long to charge. Ha.
But I hate not using tech so sometimes I run my rokus from them while using solar for the monitor.
No, Bob is NOT my uncle! Awesome channel brother.
I like how they found out how power banks work
Excellent video ! I thank you for the knowledge. (Looking for a good recharger to my Baseus power bank I use for my Steamdeck - lol. Deck needs at least 45w power going into it, in order to charge - so most regular ones for Cell Phones only aren’t strong enough) 🤓
Thanks for the explanation about type C ...
Have a look at Jump Start power packs .. they can be used to start a car etc...
some are blocks like you showed and some have a handle..
Some have 5v, 12v, 19v outputs, one had type C output...
others have a small inverter or tyre inflator etc...
then getting larger again .. go on to what are described as solar generators.. (no jump start) typically solar mppt 200w, inverter 600w/240v.. etc...
It's a balance of money and what you want to charge...
Go into the less portable realms and you get more for your money...
cool, that's the one i already have. bought it before the initial corona hysteria. it's unavailable on uk amazon now though, maybe theyre upgrading and adding more type c ports. i felt the microusb meant it was a tranistionary device, along with the fact the design was released a couple of years ago.
Actually, there IS a new version out... I saw it on one of the EU Amazons, but it wasn't available at the moment. 20,000mAh and 45W charging rate instead of 30.
nice slovenian mug on your desk.. moving to slo? :D
ps: like your videos.
Thanks.Can you damage the power bank with a fast charger? A have a power bank imput 5v/2A same brand and after i used fast charging plug is getting very hot and burning smell when discharging.
A fast charger shouldn't cause any damage - probably an issue with wither the power bank itself or the fast charger. Fast chargers work by "talking" with the thing they're charging over the USB data lines, and negotiating a charge at a higher voltage. If there's no "discussion", then the fast charger just pretends it's a standard low-power USB port charging a regular gizmo.
Any updates on an even better/faster in-out power bank since your video 3 years ago? Am looking for one now.
NO! I can't believe it, but they're still impossible to find. I'm still looking, tho...
Hi Scottie, what does it mean when a usb plug in charger is blinking green non stop when plugged into a home receptacle? Am I on weird circuit???
I dunno. If it works, then maybe nothing. That's weird...
@@ScottiesTech it didn't charge...I think my house is on a weird electric current. Thanks for your reply!!
Hi Scottie, I have been searching for the Ravpower RP-PB058 everywhere. Everyplace seems to be sold out. If Ravpower is no longer producing this model did they replace it with something similiar? What can you recommend that is comparable with the Ravpower RP-PB058? Thank you
OH NO!! I wonder if they went out of business?? I can't find them anywhere, either! That was the best one I know of. Guess I'll have to keep an eye out for something comparable...
They still have a web site, but almost all their powerbanks are sold out...
I have a battery and it has a little charging por usb one and I still don’t know how to charge it sad but this helped some
It should be pretty straight forward to charge the power bank. One of the ports is usually for input (charging). If it didn't come with a charger, you can grab something like this: amzn.to/3b3Xmr3
Then also get a USB cable that has the right connectors on each end, and you're all set. For example. this guy: amzn.to/3OnyQQp is for normal USB (type A) to USB 'micro B' (which is the older small connector used on most power banks). USB C is like the teeny micro B connector, but it's oval in shape instead of a trapezoid. Hope that helps!
Can u use 65w charger on power bank tht doesn't support quick charges??
Sure, that'll work. It just won't charge the power bank more quickly unless the power bank itself supports quick charging. But everything is backwards compatible, so you don't have to worry about explosions or anything!
Is it safe to charge a power bank with both micro USB and type c simultaneously with 2 separate identical charger ? For faster charge?
As far as I know, the power banks with 2 inputs only allow recharging via one USB input at a time.
Have you found any good solar charging chargers that work?
Not yet. Given the small size of your average power bank, even the best solar panel on that very limited surface area is gonna charge REALLY slowly. It's a fantastic idea, tho...When I need solar, I still use my Big Blue foldable solar panel (amzn.to/3owuDxx). It's not Quick Charging, but it's handy!
@@ScottiesTech your conclusion echos the experience I have had with those chargers. Thanks for the info
Just before Prime Day... Amazon pulled all RAVPower products off the site. Claiming they did something wrong in regards to soliciting positive reviews... do you have any affiliate link I can use to buy the RAVPower from another merchant?
Oh dear... I'm afraid they were right. Some products contained a $5 gift card if you post a positive review. I did post a positive review (becuz I really love the thing), but never got the gift card now that you mention it. I still use this one as my primary power bank, and it's still going strong and charging at lightspeed.
@@ScottiesTech I never forgot seeing this video... and recently I was hiking the PCT (Pacific Coast Trail) and took my old, heavy, battery-worn first-gen Anker with me.
Boy was I thinking about you and trying to remember this model # as I lay in my tent at night cursing my battery 😆
3:00, where can I purchase this charger at?
This is one of the newer versions, but only ships to USA: www.ravpower.com/products/af-pb007-90w-2-port-pd-3-0-qc-3-0-power-bank
👍‼️
My three year old one charges in 3 hours 20000mah. Nothing new to this. Never heard of a power bank of these sizes that would take 14 hours...
You sound just like

Uh-oh. What happened to RAVPower? See here: ruclips.net/video/m4q4AZReguQ/видео.html

@@mySeaPrince_ Oops! Fixed now. Should be this one: ruclips.net/video/m4q4AZReguQ/видео.html
Lmao, xiaomi 3 powerbank charges in 3-4 hours and its way cheaper
Xiaomi Power Bank 3 - 20,000mAh - 45W charging rate (!!!) - 44€ on Amazon.fr. 34% less capacity but 50% faster charging rate... for 6€ less. Personally, I'll take the extra capacity over the fastest charging. As long as I can plug it in at night and it's charged when I wake up, I'm happy.
@@ScottiesTech Wow, i bought mine at 25€, ill just stick with xiaomi products. Best stuff for dirt cheap
