@@djdelarosa25 It's cause I've watched footage of people in North Korea on RUclips. They all have to dress the same and act the same. Conformity is a requirement of the government, if you don't confirm, God help you in that country. So, not every power bank needs to be made the same way to comform to the same boring style as everyone else's product. Making things your own is ok. The paw print is evidence of a brand saying, we can do fun things, we don't need to conform. That's all I meant.
I absolutely _despise_ those coatings. As somebody who generally uses devices for a long time, invariably I end up having to spend a ton of time with rubbing alcohol to clean the coating off once it starts degrading. Since I'm going to waste hours down the road to just end up with bare plastic, please save me the trouble and just sell me an uncoated plastic device in the first place. I think they use these coatings because it gives a supposedly "premium" feel and they're very low-cost to apply, but my experiences mean that any time I feel this kind of soft-touch coating, I instantly recoil. Not so "premium" feeling to me any more.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Interested in learning more about the higher capacities. I have both the 10k & 15k @ 22.5W banks. Don't know much about their efficiency, but they're able to hit 20W when charging my iPhone 12 (measured via KM003C) which is all I can really ask for :)
I wish nitecore was better than 20g difference lol those weird 5k mah "ultra compact cylindrical battery" .Anyways speaking of power banks is there any plan to compare those 5k mAh cylindrical battery banks? kinda curios if they bring more value than caryring 45/65/100w pbanks also i wonder how pineng power banks compare to the like of these lol ( an overly popular power bank brand in Malaysia)
I tested one of those a while back, Anker fusion 511 with the charger built in. Considering it's a charger and a power bank, it wasn't crazy heavy and the efficiency was upper middle tier. 15 Wh usable though so don't expect a lot. After looking at so many others this actually looks a bit better in retrospect. I also tested a single 18650 cell one, that was not worth it, that didn't make the channel but not to say there isn't a good one out there. I am also curious about a lot of the smaller power banks so many to pick from, I'll never catch up.
This is promising, but as you've shown multiple times, if one power bank from a manufacturer is "pretty ok" for what it is, that doesn't translate to all the others being just as good or better. I have high hopes for the 25K since the Baseus one really left me with a sour taste.
I gave my family 2 pieces of INIU 10500 power banks and they've held up really well in the last 6 months. My brother also had an unusual situation when he flew to London and none of the outlets in his room were working except for the old school USB-A port. So he would charge the power bank from the USB-A outlet and then pass through from the power bank to his MacBook Air. It saved him and it worked that way the entire week he was there for work.
Dude, thats genious! In cases where you know that you can't have power available at all times, it makes sense to buy the largest size powerbank that you can, so that you can insure to have enough power to power a device for at least a day, before you need to recharge the pack. I am planning to get the Nitecore flagship battery pack, whether ATIOP reviews it or not. lol
This can keep an action camera powered for a long timelapse as one example. Also, some people only want to slow charge. Just playing advocate, I agree with you that I'd like to see more features.
I had taken a risk on it since it's a pretty unknown brand, but I was surprised at how good it is. I've had it for 2 years now, and it's been reliable so far.
I look forward to your INIU review. I have their 65W 25000 mah and their 140W 27000 mah and I've been very impressed with them for the money. Just don't use the cables they come with, they cut cost on those to keep the prices on the banks fairly low.
I have to agree. I just bought my B-41 yesterday and put it on the charger overnight and it barely moved from two paws . So I decided to swap it out today with a different power cable that I already had and it’s slow as molasses, but it is charging today. I am still trying to decide if I want to keep it or not. It is cute though!
I’m hoping you could get your hands on and review the Elecjet Apollo Ultra 10k power bank. They seem to be out of production now for some reason. Reviews on Amazon back up the claim that it can recharge the entire bank in about 30 minutes by dumping close to 90 watts into the pack. Will it last long? Maybe not…but it’s sure attractive to recharge my iPhone or iPad and charge the whole pack in less than 30 minutes - like during a layover.
Yeah, charge fast and hot, just what lithium ion batteries like! I am not surprised they aren't on the market anymore. I'll keep an eye out, I know it is on my list to check out at some point.
heard iniu was or had a "good" reputation, the fragile plastic case design isnt for me tho. would love to see some tests on the cuktech products & how they do against others in that price-range... from some weird translation they apparently offer "outstanding" performance (at least for their powerbank) like lowest voltage ripple (at least thats what they advertise too on their wall chargers), but can't confirm it myself. technically its zmi so they should be pretty decent?
Oh my gosh, that paw print battery gauge is so adorable. Sounds like a nice powerbank, that actually does what it says it does. I don't think anyone could be upset about this unit. I think ladies should buy these things up, the paw print alone is worth the price! I hear what your saying, but you really need to review the flagship top dog NITECORE Summit 20000 Power Bank, 20,000mAh for Low Temperature. Nitecore are innovators, and as such, they have innovated features into this puppy, that I haven't seen from other brands, like the heating element, to keep the lithium batteries from immediately going flat in sub zero temperatures.
Overall, I'm sure price has a lot to do with the success of this power bank but yes, it does look nicer than many others for what is essentially a market of black monoliths. I plan to avoid anything from nitecore, they're not for me.

Thanks for the comment, yeah, I wasn't too impressed with the 145W, I haven't tried that new version with 140W out, but based on battery size and getting that much power I can't say I wouldn't expect it to have issues.
Can you do a video of the most efficient sub 100 watt hour batteries around the 20k mah rating? Mostly to see what is allowed for flights and something still portable in a bag or a waist pack. I find it hard to see the watt hour for many battery banks on Amazon and even the manufacturers site. They don’t always show the battery voltage in the manual so it’s hard to calculate it.
True. It has to be written on the power bank but they hide it in microprint on the label a lot of times. It's one of the things Shargeek or Sharge gets correct, they clearly label the products. I am working on a website with the data. I need to get that running sooner rather than later, maybe I should work on that instead of videos for awhile.
