A bit of an impromptu video here. It poured down rain through an open window onto the top of the PowerHouse II 800 (Anker 545), and then the power station appeared to not function. No script here -- just opening it up, and trying to figure what might have happened. Troubleshooting, testing, wires....oh my.
Note: In my haste to get the power station opened up, I forgot to double-check that my microphone was plugged in (it wasn't) and that the camera was set up properly (it wasn't). So, this video will sound and look a little different though I spent a lot of time trying to rectify this in post.
This battery was purchased with my own money.
This video was made by a real human, recorded on a real camera, and edited by a real human using video editing software.

⚡️Notice:
It is generally not recommended to open a device like this on carpeting. In the case of this video, the relative humidity was very high during this recording (75%), and with no translation across the flooring to create a buildup of potential energy, which posed a very low ESD risk.
