Great video my fellow South African :) Had one now for close to 2 years, with minimal use, actually was stored away for almost a year. Never used the AC side, only DC for charging phones. Unit won't charge higher that 88%, and for some reason it doesn't last nearly as long as it used too.
when charging the unit via USB-C ? does the number on RCT go down and eventually say FF? or is it suppose to count up to 99% and then turn FF ? I just got my unit now, and i plug in a 65W PD charger. The unit was on 33% and now it's on 27%. It seems like it's counting down to 0. Shouldn't it be 33 and then go upward whilst charging ?
you mentioned one can use a usb-C cable and charge with a charger. Guessing the 65W usb-C will be quicker than the DC 24v x 2amps. which is 48w maximum. Wonder if one can use a laptop DC charger? i've seen some laptop chargers that does 12v-24v and can output 90w to 120w DC output on port 5521, some come with multiple pins. Wonder if the 80K unit will then charge via the AC-DC adapter quicker to 90w or perhaps higher.
I think in the manual it says that if you want the power bank to turn on after a power failure you would need to hold the power button down for three seconds when turning it on.
tried it, didn't do it on the unit i tested and i also read that in the leaflet. I also confirmed this with Rectron technical. Maybe on newer models but not the one i tested. That is exactly the reason i returned the item as it does not function as a UPS.
I guess you could connect a desktop, it would need to be a very basic desktop and small display. The base output cannot exceed 200w and the load cannot go over 250w for 1second. If your consuming around 85w to 110w, you should be good for 2hours if it's under 110w the whole time. Even though your desktop has a 350w or 450w power supply it will only consume more wattage if you run CPU intensive apps or videos or games. Most Core I7 desktops idle around 110-135w even if you have youtube open. ( fyi . i have a 750w PSU in my Gaming desktop-pc and a GTX 2080TI graphics card for gaming. most of the time i consume 110w to 140w doing normal youtube streams, music, excel apps and few websites open. Only when i jump into games it bumps up to wattage to 400w and 550w consumption)
