> Some manufacturers try to argue that 3.6V is the nominal voltage of the internal cells and Wh should be calculated as (20,000mAh/1000 *…

A great power bank. And a bit more compact than most 100W or 140W options! Efficiency does drop a little at sustained very high output…

Frustrating! Make sure you make them send a courier to pick it up, and not try and force you into going into a store. For future reference…

Haha yes perhaps a bit too much detail. But how else to relax during lunch than by testing USB chargers? The less complex version is that…

Not paying attention to Ozbargain it seems! Seems like decent value for $100. Hard to know what sort of cells are inside, or the quality of…
27/05/2024 - 22:27
After efficiency losses (in the power station, and the device being charged) you can expect around 200Wh to be added the the battery of the…

So to add to this, I did some extra testing. As has been noted, the USB-A port is always interrupted when the USB-C port is plugged in or…

27,000 mAh. Most power power banks include both a mAh rating (at the nominal per cell voltage) and a Wh rating. The Wh rating is the mAh…

I'm not sure I follow what you mean sorry. I'm saying the situation is worse than just potentially having to fruitlessly chase a company…

I bought one of these in a deal last year, and it outputted a below average 73.5% of the rated capacity. I bought another and will see if…

>And good luck trying to get a small Chinese company to adhere to any Aussie legal requests. The importer (who has to be an Australian…

The SC32 has temp regulation, which reduces power when the LED driver internally hits 55º. Externally they will be significantly cooler…

Interestingly I switched my workflow to a MacBook after a very long time on Windows. The Apple hardware is nice but MacOS is super buggy.…

If you email them, they should organise a courier pickup of the battery. I have had similar where they sent the wrong thing, and they…
22/05/2024 - 12:13
To expand on that, drill batteries often use different cell sizes, or the same size but different rated outputs. For example, the Ozito PXC…

12.8V 12Ah = 153.6Wh It is over 99Wh so it can't be taken on without airline permission. It is under 160Wh so can be taken on with airline…
21/05/2024 - 17:05
Yeah I'd definitely wait till they stop price matching and you can confirm they have stock. Also when I've been sent the wrong item by…

Ozito batteries are great value compared to the alternatives. What structural issues have you had?

ZMI No.20 2.5W (5V 0.5A) test. 65.04 Wh (73.16%) Anker 737 2.5W (5V 0.5A) test: 61.93Wh (71.68%) Not an unexpected result, as the voltage…
17/05/2024 - 08:18
Yeah - I was just referring to the "Multi-Function Tool was $119(pricehipster.com)"
16/05/2024 - 16:09
Multifunction shows up as $149 for me (in the still cached Bunnings search page).
16/05/2024 - 14:45
Hmmmm now I am thinking about a DIY adapter to turn 2x 2.5Ah batteries into one 5Ah. I believe the 5.2Ah uses the same 20650 IXR21/66…

I have my 737 on my desk, so will keep hitting the power button and then letting it auto sleep just in case I can replicate it with enough…
16/05/2024 - 13:28
Tough call. But for me, the ZMI No.20. Mostly because I use pass through charging a reasonable amount. And the ZMI slots into my laptop bag…

I wish I knew! The INIU power banks I have tested so far have been ones I bought myself on the various super cheap deals here on OzBargain.…
15/05/2024 - 21:59
Impressive! But yeah even the lightest large capacity power banks are quite heavy in a pocket or bag.
15/05/2024 - 21:53
The nominal voltage for the cells is set by the manufacturer, rather than being an exact reflection of the cell chemistry. Most 3.7V cells…
15/05/2024 - 21:52
Not that I have seen. It is presumably at the worst efficiency output, or potentially all outputs combined. There's no specific standard so…
15/05/2024 - 21:06
Which specific Legion model do you have? And you are using the INIU B62? As it happens I also do laptop testing for TechRadar, and I been…
15/05/2024 - 20:57
Yeah ok. I have not been able to find any combination of modes etc that will cause mine to stay on. Hopefully if it is a bug that causes it…
