Baseus 100W USB Power Bank Review and Test 

Your reviews are amazing. Str8 to the point and any added unnecessary dialog actually adds to the review instead of becoming a distraction.

YOU ARE A LEGEND. The length and details are remarkable and well explained to the average Joe. I wish every person who reviews products does the same. I have been looking for a power bank for weeks and am buying this because of your review. Keep it, please. Hani

What an absolute BOSS this man is.

So excited to see the following reviews. I would love to hear your thoughts on UPS use case on powerbanks, pass though charging feature/recovery and also the quite cool Anker fusion models. It would be nice if somehow someway some manufacturers would be able to combine all those features into one.

Thanks for a great lesson. I didn't get it all but I learnt a lot.

I bought this on Prime day and have been very pleased with it. Even before this review, your other Baseus review of the 100W wall charger helped inform my decision; they make quality products and I have been happy with all that I've bought, including a nice long 6' USB-C cable.

I got the 65W version of this model some weeks ago in a Baseus summer sale (for 45eur)(together with their 100W GaN charger after watching your channel) and love it. It has a built-in usb-c cable and charges my 65W laptop (and all other devices) perfectly. Also, the scrollable info on the screen is so handy. I had some old cables and when testing them out with this powerbank I was able to see that some were very old/slow at charging while others were fast.

Love the detailed explanations.

Finally thanks man, have been waiting on your review series for powerbanks. Also I appreciate when someone takes me to school, the info on power units makes sense, I just didn't use them anymore since engineering studies so I was a bit rusty. I think marketing guys are still using the mAh since most powerbanks earlier were delivering fixed voltage output, they didn't change that when technology upgraded, fearing that the dumb customers would not understand and under value their products (20K sounds mighty), so mAh is like a tradition now more than sensible value. Keep up the good work 👏👍💪

Got this at one of those Amazon return resell places for like $8. No skin off my bones if it sucked, but nice to see it's actually a pretty good power bank. Very informative video c:

Very good content and excellent tests

Best powebank review.

Thank you for the video 🙏, very nice work!!

A correction. At the 1:23 mark, it clearly list compatibility with "Surface Pro / 7,". This is probably a few years old design/product as we now have Surface 9; the Surface 7-9 require 60w, and the models below that require 39watt or lower. In the "Note" section, it list "surface Go laptop" as being incompatible. I don't know why it would not be compatible as Surface Go laptops consumes 39watts (15v 2.6a). Anyway, thank you for your thorough reviews, excellent work. I cannot find anyone on YT doing the correct technical testing and analysis as you have. Through your videos, I have decided to purchase this as it was about US$50, making the value proposition really awesome. Will be using it with a Surface Pro. If it really doesn't work with the Surface Pros, I'll report back. (edit: it works on SP 5 and Surface Book 2 dual core.)

Detailed review. Although most of the details are way beyond my understanding but I can get a sense of whether it is a good purchase or not. Please make a top-picks video for power-banks as you made for chargers.

CHRONICALLY under appreciated, sharing with hopes of more views and subs. you've earned it.

Wow! a very technical product review. I only know when it needs to charge and when to use the device when the need to charge anything...

Finally, thanks for all your work. This puppy it’s on my list for the ‘ultimate power bank’ because my ROMOSS sense 8p+ 30k is un capable to charge my HP Envy. Also if everyone else is interested, there’s a 10$ off coupon so at 89$ is not cheap by any means but hey is something. Thanks again!

Thank you for this , very excited to see the hybrid chargers/ batteries . I wish one of these hybrid charger batteries would have faster wireless charging I’ve only found 5 watt

Thanks!…I added this on my cart and i was hoping you’ll review this and you did!

I’m in the market for a power bank. I can’t wait to see additional batteries tested.

I am really impressed with this video. There is a lot more to know about power banks than I would have thought. I wish you had a lot more power bank videos because I need you to tell me which is the best one to get right now.

Neat neat, thanks for listening to the audience👍🏻👌🏻 Looking forward for those hybrid stuff

Excellent content. Thanks for sharing your reviews and analysis with us.

Thanks. I just bought this and it continues to surprise me and makes me feel good that it tested well for you. I don't have this sort of equipment and wasn't sure about this bank. I mainly got It because of the form factor. There are not many slim banks that can charge laptops.

Thanks bro, you are a legend! I was always saying to my friends that mAh is bullshit, they said I was a crybaby xD But hearing from a professionaly these exact words feels great! :D Thank you for another informative video, this Baseus Blade looks great, found it for a great price at around 50 $ only! Thinking about buying it, just a bit worried if 60 W/h actual capacity will be enough to bring it with me for my laptop! Cheers!

Hey man great stuff, really glad you're putting the information out there for those that don't know and yeah there are a lot of people who are clueless about this sort of stuff. I can say that because I admittedly kinda was myself and didn't think too much about all these other factors. I would love see more portable versions like around the size of modern smart phones because I feel like that would be most people's preference. It would also help a lot for me because I am a food courier and am in desperate need for an upgrade. Just some insight so you could make more videos that could probably seen by more people who are interested because anyone can just search up "Best powerbank" and probably get some mediocre one and not know about it yk what I mean? The community needs your help and expertise so keep going at it man! Also as a suggestion I recommend you work on capturing the audiences attention, yes I understand this is a informative video but I would find myself just trying to keep myself watching and losing attention it wouldn't hurt to have more liveliness brought maybe some background music. But yeah that's all, your work has tremendous value for this community

Thanks!

Straight up subscribe.

Thank for the great review! i was wondering if you would consider reviewing the Hyper Juice 245W power bank - supposedly it can be carried on the airplane. Thank you in advance for considering.

Would be cool if you did some kind of your best travel powerbank video. Like a top 5 for example where based on you testing and experience you told us what are the best options.

yay!! i have been waiting for this one

Hello! Congrats for this great review. Is it possible to tell me between this one and the Anker 737, which is the most efficient? Thanks.

Hey buddy, nice videos, they are helping me a lot choosing some gear Here is the thing, at the moment I have a Baseus power bank 65w, but it seems not very trustworthy, sometimes it dischargers in 10min. So the question is, these Chinese brands such as Ugreen and Baseus are worth the cash, or should I justspend 3 times the price and get some more reputable brand such as Anker? Thanks

looking forward to more power bank tests thank you for your time

Hi, a brand new fan here (since today). Really love your video's & no-nonsense explanation! Any plans of testing 100Wh power banks (the airplane approved one's)? Thanks!

this is a promising product, hope it fits my sling bag... 2 usb c outputs are spot on!

Bought this for 50 euros on a random discount store crazy deal imo

Hey love your videos. But you will find the Xiaomi Zmi No.20 210W 25000mah USB PD Power Bank QB826G is probably the best biggest powerhouse available in the current market. Try review it 👍 Cheers.

God!! What is this, this is more than what I was looking for, so detail!!! I just need this for my ROG Ally, I want to use it while my battery is 100% (40Wh) and use the powerbank, and I just want to know the real capacity and how long can I use it untill it left with 10% or 5% of full 20V DC, 3.25A, 65W ( ROG Ally ) output.

Hiii, a fan here. Can I request that you specify the PPS modes of a charger when you review them? It is important to know for compatibility with certain things like Samsung Super Fast Charging. Thanks!

Oooooo, look at that, your branching off into portable power banks now. I have an Anker 3,500MAH, 16,000MAH, 20,000MAH, and their flagship 26,800MAH portable power banks, and they are freaking awesome! Their flagship model can keep my tablet running all week, no joke! I haven't considered Baseus for their portable power banks, I am only concerned with their desktop charge adapter at this point. But it will be interesting to see you expand your portable battery bank collection, and see whats good out there. I don't think you did bad on your purchase either, it was a good choice. And like you said, it meets the FAA requirements for plane use. But, for emergency power when the power goes out, consider getting Anker's flagship model, I think you will be impressed!

Please check out the zmi no20, it’s said to support ups and charge through

Thanks for this amazing video. Really liked the idea of purchasing it but 100 usd is salty. Therefore, any suggestion for 10kmah for 45w dc pps using Samsung Galaxy S23 ultra?

Awesome tests and explanations! Can you test the Omnicharge Omni 20+ 120v ?

Bought this model for just 89 USD in my country, a few days ago. Your review didn't help me. Actually it caused me to buy it and I'm very pleased with performance of the device so far. I am going to sell two of my Xiaomi Pro 3 powerbanks. I won't need them anymore. This is what you call a compherensive review.

Hi! Great video. Do you have any tips to get the best out of this powerbank's lifetime? Recharging habits etc

i would love to see more power banks reviewed by you , cos it's so hard to choose , i hope you'll do more, i just sub cos i've watched the 140 Watts Anker one.

mophie has a 120w multiport charger and a powerbank :)

Hi and thank u for this thorough video! I have a dell inspiron laptop and has only simple usb ports. No type c port. Would this power bank suffice in my case?

does this have low power mode? or do I need to go to the HD version to get it? thank you

Hi, thanks for the review, I heard someone say that since it uses li po battery cells, it won't last anywhere as long as traditional li-ion cells. What is your opinion on this?

Any thermal issues ive seen many comments about the 65 watts and it has some serious thermal issues i wonder for this 100watts version?

Hi. I’m having a problem with my power bank that when it gets low and I’m plugged in my iPad, the powerbank restarts and starts to be charged by the iPad not the other way around. Do you why this happens?

Hi the type C cable cames with it, is it 5A cable and does support Samsung s23 ultra fast charging..thanks

Sooo what ones do you recommend so far? This or the Anker 737? Or is there something better

I have this powerbank. Primary use is working as an off grid power supply for my MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro (10CPU/16GPU), 16GB/1TB. If nothing is connected to the computer (especially if Power Save mode is selected), I can work most of the day on and of (even editing the odd video on DaVinci Resolve Studio), without tapping into the internal “juice”. Connecting Thunderbolt SSD's tends to suck a lot more power, but still manageable (especially, with more than one pwerbank at hand to quickly switch to). I have experienced one thing, I’d suggest you look into. When this critter and/or the Sandberg 420-57 are connected to my Satechi 165W GaaN charger, they always start flashing wildly. That happens whether they were connected, when power was turned on for the charger, or whether they were connected, after the charger was turned on (USB-C testers - 3 different versions - show no activity either, but their display also flickers wildly in sync). Other “consumers” are not affected. My Satechi 75W (bought just after introduction on the market), Apple 60W (2019) or Apple 97W (2022) have no problem charging any of the two modern powerbanks. An Old RAVpower 60W (30W charge/60 W delivery) does not show this problem on the Satechi 165W GaaN charger either. All powerbanks are charged on an USB-C port that is also usable for “juice” delivery, but this is not necessarily the actual culprit (since the RAVpower powerbank has only one USB-A port and the shared USB-C port for 30W charging and up to 60W PD, that is also delivered, when requested). I have a cabling to an old 2018 MacBook Pro 13 (Intel, 4 Thunderbolt), that emulates the MagSafe system. Works perfectly, but when I disconnect or connect the “MagSafe emulating” part (magnetically) from the cable connector, it seems to solve the problem most of the time. It’s as if a Power Delivery renegotiation is forced on all Satechi 165W outputs, also involving the modern powerbanks (when connected). The charger and the two powerbanks seem incapable of doing the initial “PD negotiation” by themselves. Have tried loooots of cables, that do not pose any problems in any combination up to 20V/5A, not involving the Satechi 165W and one or both of these powerbanks. It may be, that the powerbank manufacturers use the same firmware code for PD, or the Satechi 165W GaaN is sensitive to some negotiation approaches - whatever. I think, that you need to check the modern “heavily computerized” GaaN chargers and powerbanks compatibility with each other in day to day use. My typical powerbank (but not only) use case is charging at night (AC power down to 20-50% of daytime peak price per kWh adjusted hourly), where a Philips Hue Smart Plug handles the activation at preset times (start varies from 23PM to around 02AM in shorter periods). The Smart Plug does not affect things. Manually repeating connection processes does not exhibit any discernibly difference. By accident I at one time had my iPhonePro 12 (not connected to anything except wireless) near the Baseus, when activating the Smart Plug over Bluetooth, and the iPhone screen started flashing (didn’t notice if it was in sync with the powerbank - mostly due to shock). It was not reproducible, and I wasn’t too keen on repeating the experience until results were seen, since I had no way to measure, what actually was going on. There seems to be some possible wireless near field interference at play also. I’m not blaming any of the manufacturers, but it sure seems like “computer infighting amongst system controllers” from the outside. Worth looking into? Regards P.S. Love your approach. Clear, to the point, and fact based. What else could one wish for.

Please consider reviewing ZENDURE SUPERTANK PRO. Hybrid power banks/adaptors too

how do you charge it? no manuals at all. do i use the regular USB or the C type USB since wall charger isnt provided

Hello, new fan here. I run a blink mini I'm my car at night and watching your video I now know I need an uninteruptable power bank to run it as what I use now eventually turns off. Is there a recommended one I could look up?

Maybe Xtar PB2S with unprotected 21700? You can replace cells in it and I am curious about It's efficiency compared to similar capacity powerbanks.

Hello, may I ask, what is the actual/rated capacity of the power bank's battery? Is it really 20,000 MAH or lower? I have a 20K MAH one that has a 13K MAH and I wanted to know if this power bank is also the same. Thanks for answering.

Hello. I have the same powerbank. Your powerbank discharged by itself if it has a USBC cable connected without any device? Mine yes!

Great video! unfortunately the one I bought gave me a really tough time. Seems to stop charging at around 87% and dies at around 40% and their customer service is awful!

I have one. It was new. After like 8 months of sitting in the drawer, it died. Cannot be charged no matter what. I had to tear it down and investigate. One out of the 4 cells were completely drained no voltage at all. I charged that cell with a lipo charging board, put it back together and it works again. But I am not sure if it is 100% safe to use anymore.

Review the Anker 737 powerbank

Hey mate, I'm curious if this powerbank can sustain the 100w charging? Cuz I have a laptop that runs on 100w so wondering if this would overheat and shut down.

Great video! I'm looking for some more good power adapters in the 65W range instead of the 100W+ range. Are you able to test the Best Buy Essentials 65W power adapter and the Baseus 65W GaN charger?

Great review, informative, also, what Wall charger are using to charge the Baseus Blade 100 w Power Bank?

Review the HyperJuice 27000mAh, 100Wh, 245W USB-C Battery Pack

I am currently getting 9.1V 0.8A on my iphone 12 pro with this, using included cables (that supports up to 100W). Is it a defect? should I request a refund? Also getting 15W and 24W when charging an iPad pro and Macbook Pro simultaneously using C ports

Quick question... Does this power bank support Samsung's protocol for Super Fast Charging 2.0 ? Do you have any way to check this ? Thanks in advance.

Can you check the Poweradd pro 100w ???

Sorry I don't remember if I've suggested it already but could you review the POIYTL Power Bank 100W 20000mAh? It has many positive reviews on Amazon and it's also cheap ($42 after coupon).

Could you determine how long it would take to charge, from 0% to 90%, using a 12V car charging port?

Review the new power bank Anker 737

Can you load test the J-Go Tech Z-Series 100W power bank? It keeps shutting off and turning back on again when I try to charge my 100W PD laptop. I wish I had the tools you do to do it myself but they expensive lol

what happens when you connect 2 65w chargers to it for charging?

This has a 20V output but I need 19V to power my mini PC and I have no idea how to do it, that is, if there is any way to convert

Heya, picked this one up but I can't seem to find a way to turn on low power mode, does it exist? I tried long pressing, multiple clicks etc. It's not really needed for me but I was expecting that it'd have it. Also, strangely, mine looks to only have a PPS mode of up to 12V, 5Amps, which will charge my pixel at full speed. Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you that Pixels also use PPS for fast charging, they'll top out at 20W over regular PD(9V) and will hit 30W (Pixel 8 Pro) with PPS (about 10V 3A). Thanks and have a good day

I don't understand why Baseus never lists PPS support in specifications. I have advised some people against buying their products specifically for charging Samsung phones, because it's a guessing game unless someone tested the specific model.

will it work for Lenovo yoga C930 please reply as soon as possible

I bought this Power Bank, but I can't use it to charge my Lenovo laptop. The cable that came with it only can charge my phone. What kind of cable would I need to charge my laptop. My laptop has only USB A ports.

I find the "marketing speak" mAh are just always at an assumed 3.7V. So while it isn't factually accurate, I wouldn't agree that it's "total nonsense." It does give a good indication of capacity; just multiple by 0.0037 to get Wh. It's just semantics of series vs parallel in many cases. With this 20,000mAh pack, it's exactly that. It would perform essentially the same as any other pack rated at "20,000mAh marketing speak," regardless of the internal cell configuration. However, yes, obviously a measure of actual energy (Wh) would be the correct unit of measure and correct dimension. This probably originates from the first few designs of USB power banks, where manufacturers kept wanting to add capacity without adding multiple-cell balancing complexities to the PCB. So they just put more and more 3.7V cells in parallel. In that case, the mAh increase was factually accurate. Then Li-ion balancing chips became cheap and easy, and people wanted higher voltage fast charging, so they started rearranging the same cells with the same capacity in series instead of parallel. Since they started with mAh rating, it would have been more confusing to the dumb consumer for a fast-charge capable pack to have 1/4 the mAh rating. Ideally, they would have rated them in Wh to begin with, but that's history now. You see the same thing with all kinds of "marketing speak" across many industries, and I think the mAh rating is actually one of the least-egregious examples, since it is based on a 3.7V-parallel truth.

Hi! Could you make a test of ZMI 210w(or 200w) Power Bank with 25000mA capacity?

pls review the new anker 737 140w powerbank

Please test output of usb typ c port

Will you test blavor line of battery packs?

is it working with surface pro7?

Hi Sir, Why my Baseus 100W power bank showing me when I am using USB A to charge my TicWatch 4.9V 0.1A and 51h 7M to charge from 80 to 100. Then 4.9V 0.0A and the power bank auto shutdown

How Long Does It Take To Fully Charge The Powerbank From 0 To 100??

Good day, I am using Baseus 65W, 20000mAh power bank. And I have a question. What is the healthyest way for power bank to charge, at 20V/3A , or 5V/1,5A ? Thanks in advance.😁

can this power up the ROG Ally?

Hello ATOP, can you teach us how we take the Wh of a PowerBar and determine whether or not we can power an appliance with it? Do we just do a straight comparison of if the Wh of the appliance is smaller than the power bank? Like for a blender, or TV, or electric blanket

I got the 65watt version but when using with my Honor Magic4 it does not give me the full scp charging speed of 65 watts even tho it says it supports SCP.

Can you also check baseus87w power station

Hi! Thank you for a video. Will it work with Dell Latitude 7390?

Hi! Subscribed! Can you compare it with the XiaoMi 20000mAh 50W power bank? Looking forward to your uGreen 6port GAN adapter !

If I bought a charger and had it sent to you would you review it? I found a 72w charger for $16 on Amazon which seems insanely cheap. I'm curious to see what corners they are cutting.

My only desire... this bank with a wireless charge coil built in so you can place your phone on top while it is parked on a desk. It would make an excellent travel bank that can either stay on your desk or easily go with you.
