My thoughts exactly.

@@CKorvus some still do fake the printing on the battery too sooo

He should have measured them instead of destroying them.............. what a waste

@@CKorvus yeah add in the fact capacity can be fake and the energy lost from the charger it self,cable and the device being charged

Exactly

Yes,

@Wedak Tofi no

@Wedak Tofi Delete your channel

@@parakoopa99 it's a bot

Anyone that has replaced batteries, or touched batteries, this video is complete cringe

I asked

@@mechanicalturkproductions7349 no you did not.

Hai, since you bought the same power bank and said it made you happy on how it works. I need the link if you have it. please

I mean it is a very popular power a k brand so it shouldn’t be lying.

I also just ordered a week ago hahahhah

My mom comes to me for help, and I come here to double check

@@kalishiva18 honestly that’s the cutest shit ever

@@kalishiva18 same

“Cell” I see what you did there

@Wedak Tofi get out of here bot

True man

It's like they said here's a 16000 MAH power battery and someone higher up said" just lie and double the number. They would have already bought it at that point anyway."

The issue is that if they say higher then they are better than the lower ones. Hence, more sale. If they try to match other then there is more chance that other people will buy other brands.

you can't tell a battery capacity by the print on the back. It's lying just like the titles of the listings and the product boxes.

@@nicks3608 Definitely seems accurate

10000mah 3.7 to 5v = 7400mah plus the efficiency loss

10-100 watts? Most of thease power banks can't even output more than 22.5w lol.

@@Random_4400 i dont think you understand. He probably meant you are losing 10-100Wh (wich is ridiculus, probably more like 0.1-0.2Wh on modern ones). imagine this, you have a 10000mah battery listed with 29Wh capacity. If it can output 29Watt continuously, it will be able to charge your whatever for 1h. If it can charge at 22.5Watt, it will last for 1.29h. Got it? great. you cant lose 10-100watt as it doesnt tell you how much capacity you lose. watthour/-s does.

Or you could just buy an anker battery charger

It actually did help. Now ima use them every time I go in vacation or to charge my phone if I forget

Power banks are a dying tech.. All day battery + Fast Charging are the solution.

I just started watching I just hope my anker one is fine (probably is)

@@ixyzyxi how is it after this lol

Yeah. Definitly not a guru.

It gave me anxiety too

Only charged cells are dangerous. Below 10% and you can mangle them as much as you want. Linus said it was dangerous without telling how it’s dangerous. Don’t get sucked into the fear mongering about batteries, handle it properly and it’s fine.

Prodding a metal spudger into a new battery which should be around 60 to 75% charged is not handling then properly. These packs go up in toxic smoke and potentially flange very easily.

@@jakejakedowntwo6613 ? Did u not see the spark and smoke of the one he poked? Not just 10 % charged... And being brand new right out of the box as shown, no way to be safely sure about the charge %... Not to mention, Best Practices/etc... So, not sure what point you're trying to make, but quite sure you've failed.

Thanks for the short review, def picking up one soon

if you can get 4 charges (about 18000mah) out from it, it means that the battery is actually around 20ah or more. Powerbanks generally loses 10-15% of their capacity to powerlosses for example the battery is 3,7V and it needs to be boosted to 5V so there is loss already, then the cables etc resistances so you are looking at 100% legit battery

@@volcaprojects8333 but seriously who charges they're phone with 0% ? He might be charging with 5-15%

I am currently charging mine on my power bank, it charges my phone ab 4 times before dying

I have the same power bank, I have a 5000mah phone, and a full charge drains the bank to 66%. I get just under 15k usable capacity.

Load testing / Capacity recording is not accurate as some power is wasted through heat from the ICs.

​@clarkandrews8073 it should still get you close enough to tell if they're lying or not

Where did you get yours?

@Wedak Tofi Anna is a beautiful girl. He's... Says it all

@@Daniel-wj9rz lmaooooooo

@@kalishiva18 i have one and i got it for christmas and i got mine off of amazon, its really good

I also have the INIU one

When these products and their sellers are based in china that’s pretty hard to do… Best we can do is have them removed from Amazon

"lawsiuts" ..... hahahahahah so the police are gonna march into china and arrest people are they?

Good luck going forward with international legal actions

Good luck suing the fraud Chinese companies.

You can directly contact Chinese companies and request very high quality batteries and get them shipped. That`s how I get the best 18650s and NiMH for hurricane emergencies. They`ve been honest about their claims.

@@baneverything5580 How do you find that info simple Google search for say Samsung HQ email? Do you just email in English and they figure it out or do you have to use a translator before you send the email? Also how does the payment work?

There are some reputable brands. Anker usually the best but also a bit pricy. I have used brands like Mi, Romoss and Pineng and they are good with accurate capacity and overcharge protection. Unfortunately, there are also fake ones so be careful

Anker is dope

Using Anker for years, saving me many times. Especially during the days when iPhone has weak battery. Travel to many countries, charge on trains, buses and plane journeys. Take pictures, videos without any worries afterwards. Happy customer here.

Agreed. Banker has been my go to company for years. Everything from mobile charging to audio that I've had from them has been great.

I've been using my Anker battery pack since 2016 and it's still going strong.

I have Anker, EasyAcc - neither has let me down for like 4 years

Coincidentally the ones that were honest did seem the easiest to open

hi

10,000 is more than enough. (For A Phone.)

Thanks, I was literally finna ask to see if you could send me the link 😂

Check ANker and ROMOSS powerbanks

Test the Poweradd battery packs,

I heard that, what a tosser!!

He couldn't find more at MSRP

Where I live only 5 are willing to deliver to me so I guess that's what he's referring to?

Did you really think he was gonna every single battery pack on amazon?

He should have tested reputable companies like Spigen, Anker, and etc.

mhm, they could easily write fake specs on the battery

@@thejpt yeah but that's up to the battery manufacturers, not the companies making the banks. So likely true info.

Exactly! Any battery manufacturer can label their batteries with anything. You can't know for sure what they are until you test them. Lots of cheap cells are fake but still show the "right values" on their casing.

@@dominus6695 Wrong. You're supposed to have quality control and test the parts frequently from each batch (and even the finished products, at least on a sample basis). That's why most powerbanks and non original chargers are crappy.

Exactly, what a useless video!!!

6:51

That is correct and that is science.

What if your phone only supports a lower voltage?

@@mujtabaalam5907 your phone never sees the charger bank's battery voltage, there is a boost circuit to bring it up to 5v volts at a minimum or if it's using fast charge 9, 12, 20 volts or any other modes USB-C PD can do.

Luck 100

He's certainly not doing a "huge service" with his totally unlegit testing methodology. Come on, you really think just ripping apart a battery pack and reading the print on the battery cells is gonna give you an accurate representation of the battery capacity? Bullshit! That print on the battery cells could be lying to you just as much as the advertisement. You need to actually do an objective test, using a meter that's actually measuring the electrical output of the battery, if you want to know the true battery capacity. This guy did none of that whatsoever. In summary: this video is bullshit. It just is. There's one thing it does very well: entertainment.

I wish all the thousands of commenters, I mean every one of them, would've stopped to think about this. That's exactly why this is a total bullshit video... don't trust what he says here. All he did was fucking rip apart the battery packs and read the print on the battery cells. Yeah right, like that's gonna give you an accurate representation of their battery capacity... Lol! Bullshit! There's one thing this video does right: entertainment. That's it. But if you actually want some real objective truth? Go somewhere else. Watch a video from "Gadget Addict" (I think that's his username, if I remember correctly): he actually used a proper fucking meter connected to the battery pack to electrically measure the battery's true electrical capacity! Not just ripping apart the damn thing and reading the print on the battery cells. I seriously cannot believe some of these commenters actually trust this video for actual legitimate proof... because it's not legit. That print on the battery cells could be lying just as much as the advertisements. Seriously, the comments that point this out should be getting the hundreds or thousands of likes/replies, not the stupid ones. This should be the case with all RU-vid videos, for that matter. The comments that actually tell it like it is and call out bullshit when they see it are the ones that should be getting all the attention. But then again, we live in a society that's afraid of being brutally honest and telling things like they are and calling out bullshit where needed. All they want now is to be "entertained" regardless of whether it's legit or not.

Just taking apart a battery pack and fucking reading the print on the battery cells is not at all an accurate metric for determining the battery capacity, though. That's exactly what this guy in this video did. So... this video is bullshit. That print on the battery cells could be lying to you just as much as the advertisements. You need to actually get an objective measurement using something that's actually measuring the real electrical output from the battery over time... that's the correct way to do it. Not by reading some pretty print written on the battery cells! Yes, I've said this before in other replies to other comments... and yes, I will happily continue to say it. Because... this video is bullshit. The guy's just wanting you to click on his fucking Amazon affiliate links; pretty common with these youtubers. And he does this at the expense of proper objectivity; pretty common with these youtubers.

@Wedak Tofi sussy

you know 1000 mah from battery wont charge 1000mah to your phone , you know why?

​@@VJETRAwhy?

@@rafiihsanalfathin9479 1000 mah is 4 volt on power bank battery , so it need it to step up the voltage to about 5 volt to charge other battery that mean about 200 to 300 mah is converted to extra volt , and the converter also take some power itself . Plus your phone may use some power during charge so you Wont see 1000 mah increase in your phone.

My claims to be 10,000 but I think it's somewhere around 6800 to 8000

I agree that power banks' capacities ought to generally be specified in (m)Wh. However: > Some power banks base their mAh on the standard 5V output instead of the actual battery cell’s nominal voltage x mAh @ 5V is *more* energy than x mAh @ 3.7V.

And did you not stop to think that maybe this video is itself lying to us?

He Can send it back for a full refund still. Because not as described and he is eligible for full refund in rhat case

the issue is that the 10000mah the battery has not not what the powerbank gives due to losses so the only real way to do it is to open it to see the cells inside

And did you not stop to think that his approach of "testing" these battery packs is actually a bit flawed?

@@justinnaramor6050 See below

Wdym power the cell phone? . Are you referring to efficiency cuz that's completely different

@@S_wali i think he meant to charge the phone you need higher voltage than the cell you're gonna charge. Power Bank usually state the 3.7v to rate the capacity but that need to be changed to at least 5v to be able to charge. Hence why it'll never be 1:1 ratio. But if the pb is genuine, the total power (Wh) should be close or same.

@@razgriz1214 plus the phone gotta step that back down to the cell voltage

Yeah I do :) thanks for the support

@@PhoneRepairGuru That's what you call an OG

It's a setting you can do with Amazon to consolidate packages. You have to go into settings. It used to be an option during checkout, but they buried it.

Seriously. So much ewaste only to read off numbers that also could be wrong. Honestly makes me doubt the whole channel. Unsubscribing.

@@ethylg7572 His ‘credibility’ was obvious when he said “ThErEs No WaY tHaT mUcH pOwEr CoUlD fIt iN tHiS tInY bOx!!” Says my 30k MaH charger that will charge my 13 pro max 4-5 times. And I used to charge my 7 plus and 12 pro with it. Thank RU-vid for removing the damn dislike button. So glad I wasted 2 minutes of my time on this attention seeker -_-

@@Norinia The iPhone 13 Pro has a capacity of 3095mAh, so if your power bank is truly 30k you should get NINE full charges with some power left over. If you’re only getting five charges, then your capacity is likely closer to 15,000mAh. This video isn’t fake, your battery is fake lol

@@ethylg7572 The numbers on the battery cell are always correct per the strict regulation. These are just generic LiPos put into power banks manufactured by third parties. These companies can print whatever numbers they want on the plastic casing and retail packaging, but they can’t do that on the cell itself. Unless you want to sit and watch a discharge cycle for hours, the only way to find true capacity is to look at the cell. The capacity readings from the PCB use voltage, but voltage doesn’t decrease linearly over time so these are usually wrong.

@@Norinia this video has 1.1K dislikes at time of replying. Get RU-vid Vanced.

Use a multimeter

@@limegreentechnologies8803 please explain wtf a multimeter is going to do

@@jimmysyar889 measurements

@@limegreentechnologies8803 yeah what measurements

I've seen a youtuber that uses a portable meter for usb applications that display voltage current and total capacity of the powerbanks. He totally drains them with a dummy load simulating normal consumption. Took a bit of time to perform but good experiment to debunk advertised capacity

To be fair, many people aren’t aware of how long they should actually last.

But you don't validate anything by just reading the fucking print on battery cells as if that automatically gives you the true battery capacity. That's exactly what this guy did. Come on, don't be fooled. The guy in this video never once measured the actual electrical capacity of the batteries! So... as I've said before, and I will happily continue to say, this video is bullshit. There's one thing it does well: entertainment. But if you actually want some real objective truth? Look somewhere else. That print on the battery cells could be lying to you just as much as the advertisements.

I appreciate that!

He did basically no testing (very poor video) as all he did was read off of the "printed" labels on the battery packs which are well known to be re-printed or overlaid as a sticker to cover up the original markings. He also doesn't account for voltage conversion losses or that the mAh rating is calculated on the native 3.7V Lion/LiPo voltages.

Cell quality yes but also the circuit efficiency+ 5v vs 3.7v batery pack is on 3.7v and it needs to be converted to 5v before it can charge your device That's why i always look at the Wh not mAh. The 20k one usually state 74k Wh. So 74000:3.7 we get 20k. But to charge it needs to be 5v. 74000:5 we get ~15k not counting the efficiency due to heat loss. This is the capacity that you're gonna get. Your powerbank is genuine if you can get at around that 15k and even better if beyond that.

and it could also be that it shows the cell capacity but not how much is a buffer to be used to preserve cell health kinda like how ssd's and hard drives clock a little under advertised capacity due to file systems for the drive taking up space.
