I recently bought that Iniu PD 22.5 20000mAh BI-B5 Power Bank REALLY cheap, it cost me just $6 at a local retailer and it does a great job for providing extra juice for my 15PM/AirPods/Watch. Yes, it is a bit bulky, but at this price I couldn't ask for more.
Great review! It confirms some other reviews I found about the 65W 25k being a very efficient power bank, with similar and better capacity than a lot of 100 Wh ones when you consider efficiency. I have an Anker 737, it's a great bank but its chunky brick form factor makes it hard to transport in a bag or backpack. Especially when you have other tech gear to put in as well. Managed to grab the 140w 27k INIU for a crazy sale a few weeks ago for only $45. It's a big battery, but I like how flat it is compared to other banks of the same tier.
Considering that some of the stuff Anker puts out are rebranded from Iniu , I'm not surprised. If you order from the manufacturer at wholesale price from aliaba, its under $20 a brick. Min order 10 bricks or more
Didn't get as great of a deal as you ($72), but this is exactly why I went with this unit after researching. Was looking at the new 27k+Mah Anker Powerbank, but the form factor would force me to carry it in a separate bag from my slim tech folio bag I use to carry my 14" M3 Pro MBP. This INIU unit is large, but it's slim like you said and will fit perfect in my slim bag.
Hi i’m looking at buying the INIU 100W Power Bank, Mini Size 25000mAh do you recommend it? And do you have any other recommendations? Willing to spend 120 dollars but would prefer to keep the cost lower. The Inu is 87 dollars
Wow! My hopes have been answered. I’m a happy user of the 100W/25000mAh and am about to find out whether my own testing was any good and whether I made the right call. I’m a big fan of your tests - especially explaining the facts behind them and the differences between what manufacturers claim, what that means, and what you actually find through testing. Thank you and please keep up the great work 👍 Edit: ah, it’s the 65w/25000mAh in this video. I should have watched before commenting 🤦🏼♂️ very similar results though - I reckoned 81-82Wh for the 100W variant depending on the draw. I put some blame on Iniu for naming both the 65w and 100w 25000mAh power banks the same ‘BI-B63’ - confusing. Cheers again! Looking forward to the 100W test when it lands, and the 140W too which I talked myself out of in favour of the 100W.
haha, yeah, it is the 65W. I can't even find the 100W one. I will be looking at the 140W eventually. But yeah, I try to keep it quick but go over the device itself and what it can do. I try to really look at it from the claims the manufacturer makes and Iniu seems generally honest.
I'm looking for the 100W as well and miss some data. Would you tell me the input charge? The information I got is 45W or 65W? With that, what is the charge time? And the last question, how much it weight? Got 475gr or 592gr Thanks a lot :)
@@micbernier6403 happy to help. It’s 65w in, takes almost exactly 2hrs to charge from flat (1hr50 plus a few minutes). My digital kitchen scales have it without the pouch at 492g.
Wow I'm very very surprised! I've stumbled upon these Iniu powerbanks on Amazon, but automatically assumed they were junk simply because of the aesthetics. I see I was wrong and judging a book by its cover. Definitely picking one of these up now.
I have the 65 watt 25,000 mAh which I use for my gaming laptop, iPad, and iPhone and other devices, I love it! I have also bought 3 other ones (10,000mAh 22.5 watts, 10,000mAh 18 watt - more portable one, and a 10,000mAh 18 watt with a cat or dog paw), which have all worked great 👍 Great review and I learn more about wattages and heat transfer from your videos 🫡
I picked up the INIU B-62 which is a 20,000 mah version of the B-63. I believe it was released in the last 6 months and is supposed to replace the 15,000mah one. This one also has 65 watt output with 45 watt input with two usb c's and one a. I believe they advertise this one as having lifePO4 batteries in it but obviously I haven't opened it up. Would you explain in your videos , in the future, whether these banks have those cells in them? I know they are supposed to last quite a bit longer, up to 10x longer lifespan, and also are much safer in regards to fire. Also thank you for the detailed videos and explanations. You do great work!
Yeah, I bet the 15k didn't sell well, strange market space in between everyone else. Yeah, the energy density of lithium iron phosphate is lower so they'd be heavier, at least in the ones I looked at. I don't really look into the cell type, this is like cult territory, it uses a brand n battery, all hail the battery... The ideas of safe and lifespan are interesting though... It's a lot of hype and misinformation for sure but not a lot of actual data. Very difficult to make a video that's not just pure conjecture on that. Lots of should not a lot of shall. You don't want to should all over everyone...
@@AllThingsOnePlace I half wonder if they use Anker as a test dummy and try out weird combos. There's a 20k one that has 65W output that recharges at 30W
Thanks so much for doing this. I'm pretty impressed by the 25k's results. Now the question I have is how the new 20,000mah 65w iniu battery might compare. I'd hope that its a newer model and more inline with the 25k from this test as opposed to the less impressive 20k 22.5w in this review. Do you have any predictions how the new 20k 65w might preform? Its about 3 ounces lighter than the 25k and that makes a significant difference for my intended use; long distance backpacking.
I just bought both of these and kept checking your channel to see if you’d release these. Thank you. Update: I wonder if you bought this a while ago. The 20000 mAh model I bought is almost like a hybrid of the 25000 mAh model you have (plus it doesnt have a flashlight anymore). And the 25000 mAh model you have has been upgraded to a claimed 100W output. I am specifically buying this for a backpacking trip and I am only taking a iPad Pro 12.9, watch and phone, so I think the weight of the larger one and the additional capacity aren’t necessary for me.
Would be interesting if you could also look at the Iniu B61! It's a 10000 mAh one that seems more similar to the B62 than the B41 you reviewed. Project Farm chose it as one of the best he tested. Conversely, The Hookup rated the Veektomx 10000 mAh as one of the best he tested. But they didn't test the same power banks. I (and I'm sure others) would love your opinion as the tie breaker on these compact power banks.
haha, a race to the bottom. My tiny channel having an opinion in the matter is still funny to me but yeah I need to check those out as well. They're on the list. I think both of those channels did a good job though (and like me both had mistakes).
Good video but Would have been nice if you would have explained why the 20.000 wouldn't quick charge an android phone. That would be pretty much eliminate any interest of any android user in this battery bank.
i have seen a lot of your powerbank videos but i cannot decide which one to buy. can you make a video showing best or top 5 powerbank of 20,000-25,000 or around this range. and compare the price, speed, actual power and lot more but do not include 100w or laptop charging capable charger in this video. you could give 1 best laptop charging powerbank at the end saying if you want this, this is very good and give small briefing on the power, speed and reliable.
Yeah, I do those periodically, obviously it's dealers choice. I generally pick power banks based on capability overall, like I would never pick a 25k low wattage power bank, they skimp on circuits so they're really inefficient in general. So, it's an opinion but it's also a bad option but yeah, they get sorted by data types and presented. I need to test a whole lot more too. I'm sure some of the Iniu power banks will make the latest roundup video.
Hii i am working on a project that needs two 12W dc and 2A. But i wana use one powersource to power both the devices/boards, orelse it will require two power cables for each 12w. I looked into powerbanks that allow passthrough charging but i cant seem to find the one that is cheap and also reliable. Do you have any suggestion on how i can redirect electricity through one 30W Laptop charger i suppose? or any charger to the two boards that require 12Ws? Im new to this thing so am very confused. THANKSSSS!
i just asked yesterday about Iniu 25000mAh 100w and 27000mAh 140w but didnt expected to see videos with those powerbanks in next few hours :D. Still if those will be decent i think those 2 i have mentioned should be laso, i already saw German youtube channel where it was said that its the only powerbank amongs those premium ones like Ankera 140w for example which is able to mantain 140w charging speed from 100% to 0%. I will wait for 100w and 140w/
Ha, well I don’t have the higher end iniu ones yet… I do have a bunch of other power banks in line first that are here. But yeah with the quality of what I’ve seen so far it’s probably worth checking the others out.
Would you say the Inui 25k is better than the Ugreen 25k ? I dont know which one to get. For hiking / traveling. Need a fast rechargable powerbank , thank u ❤
The UGREEN is a little faster but the Iniu will get you a little further before needing a recharge. I think the Iniu is slightly better as an option since it doesn't try to oversell itself.
I'm not sure, it starts to get into that territory of stressing the battery. It's why these were good, they didn't really ask too much from the battery just for the sake of marketing. It looks like this company has also fallen to the 'make watt number bigger rule' with the newer power banks. I do have some of them here to test but haven't yet.
@@leealtmansr.3811 okay, yeah, no I don't expect anyone to use notifications, I find them very annoying, but it shouldn't even be in your subscriber feed at all, ha.
You are my go to powerbank testing channel because you do a thorough testing with devices. I'm curious, I currently own a powerbank branded Romoss. So far, the powerbank brand make OK powerbank but I'm curious if there's a catch. Do you think you can consider looking into this brand?
I have some of their stuff to look at. Almost all of these are built down to a price. If it works and is holding up over time it sounds like the right one to me.
Very good video, Just a little disclaimer upfront.I wanted to buy the 25k version after watching many of your videos, and found this one the most 'honest' power bank of them all because of your extensive testing. It seems to be true to what it advertises. But now onto my problem when I went to Amazon, there is only a power bank advertised as a 100W version not 65W.I live in Germany, so that may be the problem. Also!excuse my bad English. After watching many of your videos, the 100W banks are almost never really charging consistently, so I’m just asking for your opinion
Yeah, they released a 100W version with the exact same model number. Every time I try to get the 100W version I get the 65W version. But, if you project the performance, I would expect the 100W Iniu to do well like the others in the series. With 25k mAh of battery behind it, hopefully it does not overheat. If you get one let me know if it lives up to it's claims. Also, if you are worried about it overheating you can always use a 60W USB C cable and then it essentially becomes the 65W version.
Nice video, Iniu got a lot of power bank. they still got the 100W 25000mAh BI-B63 and the 65W 20000mAh BI-B62 Ugreen launch the 20000mAh 100W. Are you planning to reviews those power bank? Good job :)
I decided to get 2 Iniu's (different sizes) and send 737 back. It's too bulky and the output fell to 30 watts while charging my laptop. I'll wait for batteries to improve and use Iniu in the meantime. Thank you for making an effort to answer questions. I watched your videos over and over again to decide which one I want. Very useful.
PLEASE could you please review the PowerBanks with a Car Jump Start capacity? Those seem pretty useful, once one decides to carry a powerbank, why not one which could start your car in an emergency!
They now have compact versions of all their existing models. The 65W 20k version has a compact version as well. Just no compact version of their 15k version 😅
Finally, Thanks for the great video ! I’ve been waiting for this for a week. Which one do you rcm for charging the ipad air 5 and iphone 13 ? I’m a uni student and thinking bout getting the 20k from iniu. Or should i go with the 15k/25k for faster charging the ipad? Thank you 😊
Yeah, I'd probably go for the 15k (it looks like this is actually replaced with a 20k 65w version) or the 25k for general things like faster charging and discharging.
They're an eBay special. They aren't of any particular note, it was a 10 pack of that 2 didn't work at all, one had failed LED's. But yeah search USB A LED light bendable or variations of that and you will find them.
recently got my phone charger stolen at school, currently looking for a powerbank, charging block?, and a wire. Would you say iniu is a good choice considering all I charge is my phone, airpods, and very occasionally a laptop? and also as a broke student would one of those 30 watt chargers suffice, or should I splurg and get a 100w? running an iPhone xr, and gen 2 pro's, also sorry if the comment seems stupid I don't know much :DD
Nope, comment is good! I get asked this kind of thing all the time, comes with the territory. Sucks that the charger was stolen, but yeah, a 30 watt charger will just do the job. It won't power the laptop but should still charge it depending on the model and type. I think the UGREEN 30W Nexode is only around $13 USD?
@@AllThingsOnePlace I have been doing some research, and last night I watched around 30 of your videos, which I found to be very helpful. I also looked on Amazon, and I have decided to go for a 45W charger instead of a 30W charger as I want to be able to charge more devices at once, and I have some Amazon gift cards to cover the cost. However, both the "713 Charger (Nano II 45W)" and the "735 Charger (Nano II 65W)" are priced the same at CAD 39.99. In one of your videos of the GaNPrime variants you said "Skip all 65-watt adapters", but since it is priced the same as the "713 Charger," I am wondering if it would still be a good option to go for the 65W adapter. Or should I stick to the 45W adapter? Also, the Iniu BI-B62 charger is not available on Canadian Amazon, which is disappointing as that is what I would have gone for. Thank you.

You had me at "Soft touch rubberized coatings". No thanks, like you say, they ALL turn into sticky goo in 5 years. Sad companies are still using this crap.
Could you review the new version of the evatronic 20k power bank? Been eyeing that one but I really value your reviews and would rather wait for it before buying!!
Wouldn't it be the same thing since evatronic is basically Ravpower and the Stiger Group that owns the Iniu brand actually supplies Ravpower and Anker.😂.
I got the 140W INIU power bank at a price that seems too good to be true compared to other power banks. The performance has been impressive so far; it maintained 100W throughout the entire 0-100% charge and discharge cycle without overheating or dropping power (unfortunately, I couldn't test the 140W load). When paired with the UGREEN 160W GaN charger, the results were somewhat disappointing. As mentioned in your video, the charger tends to drop power when it overheats. I paired my 100W laptop with the INIU power bank at 60W, and initially, it outputted a maximum of 160W. But once it heated up, the output dropped to around 100W (60W for the laptop and 30W for the INIU). Again, I can't test whether the INIU or the UGREEN charger can sustain 140W, but it definitely manages 100W.
You released it, yes! I really appreciate your videos, your reviews are excellent. I have a couple of the Iniu 20,000 mAh power banks so I was excited to see how they measure. The results were a little underwhelming but the charging efficiency aside and the slow charging they seem to be solid which aligns with my usage. I was considering the Iniu 25000 version as well but ended up going with the Anker 757 based off your review. I ended up returning the 757 (due to the size and weight) and settling on the Anker Prime 20,000. I love the feature set of the Anker power banks (screen, fast discharge/recharge, dock capable etc), they really rock. I can't wait for the next review thanks again for all that you do.
Thanks. Yeah, Ankers got the gadget angle down. They are pretty slick from that perspective. These Iniu's do everything they say they do which is a breath of fresh air.
Since you care about durability, I thought you'd like to take a look at that power bank: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ilFbN5wMyy8.html It's not the slimest but has *user replaceable* 21700 cells. And I imagine the aluminium case doesn't hurt the heat management...
Yeah, that looks like an interesting product. Never heard of the company or not sure I can get it but replaceable cells are nice. I have a smaller one here I haven't tested yet.
I have an interesting, very small power bank from singapore (I think), it has a dimension of 91x65x14mm, with a watthour capacity of30.4 . this is the UNIQ Fuele Mini. please take a look at it!
You say it might not fast charge Samsung phones... Have you tested this? I would prefer the 20000mAH 22.5W over the 15000mAH 45W bigger battery, but would pick the ones that would fast charge my Samsung phone
I haven't tested it, I don't own a Samsung phone or anything that actually uses PPS for that matter. Yeah, the speed of the 15k is nice both in charging and discharging but yeah it's battery size is a little on the small side. Good enough to top off a phone a couple times,
Love your videos! i've learned so much and you've been my go to trusted source before I buy my power banks and chargers! I hope you can review the INIU 27,000maH battery sooon! Especially curious how INIU stakcs up against Anker and Baseus powerbanks of a similar class! Especially for the price
Awesome videos! Have you tested the inui BI-BI42 20k by chance? I saw you did the 15k, but was wondering if that one would be in and around the same quality of charging.
-Hey there, will you test the 15000mAh/45W version? I bought one of those a while back and did some superficial testing (calculated the power and capacity from the battery info on HWMon on my laptop) and seemed good but don't have the equipment you have.- I also bought a 30W charger (AI-611) and 45W charger (AI-623) based on good experiences with the brand, but unfortunately it seems your test with the AI-622 didn't go so well. It'd be great to get some insight into those chargers if possible! Regardless thanks for being one of the very few, if not only people who does testing on these non-name brand adapters! I wish I had found your channel before making my last purchase... at least I got the adapters for cheap! edit: nvm about the power bank, I just saw you actually have a video on it, gonna watch it now!
Searching up their manufacturer brings some very familiar faces that I've sworn I seen before. I'm like wait isn't that the romoss? Which has me wondering 🤔 they have models that doesn't have the sticky rubber goo.
Hi! What power bank would you recommend for a trip to a rock festival (6days away from an outlet), the device that will be charged is a iPhone 13 Pro. Looking forward to what you have to say 🤩 been looking at(Ugreen 145W 25k, Anker 337 26k, Anker 737 24k)
Yeah, that's a long time off the grid. So, math, 12Wh per charge into the battery, 75% charging efficiency, 15Wh per charge, assuming you can get through one day on a charge, 6 days times 15Wh = 90Wh required. The ugreen and 737 are out right off the bat as they don't have enough energy to meet the requirement. The 337 is close, but it might come down to two power banks, I'm assuming for 6 days you'll have a tent or sleeping area of some kind, or in your sleeping area bring a small solar panel to use during the day outside while you are rocking out, to top off the power bank during the day, needs to be moderately sized, of course people are awful so will likely steal or vandalize it. Bring two power banks, they can each be smaller (15ah plus) but get you to the total 90wh required, this assumes you don't charge anything else and unplug the power bank when charging is not actively happening, if it stays awake that'll drain extra watt hours. Or, you need the biggest one you can fine that you can reasonably carry. Perhaps a power station is more appropriate if driving.
So I just took delivery of my 25000 mAh Iniu (100W version now from Amazon, but the description still mentions 65W everywhere, so I assume basically the same). Relatively compact and lightweight for this capacity. Seems like a good choice for travel. The pouch is OK and seems like it will somewhat protect the power bank, but not against drops. It came out of the box with 55% charge. It used 20% to charge my Pixel 7 Pro from 47% to 89%. This suggests on a full charge, it could only recharge the phone 2.1x. The phone has 5000 mAh. Assuming that's at 5V, it would suggest I could get only 14.2Ah out of it, instead of the 25Ah advertised. There are some losses obviously, but this would be disappointing. Charging it in the Iniu 45W charger it took exactly 1h30m to charge from 35% to 99%. This suggests 67.5 Wh were used to charge 64%. Assuming 81% efficiency (as per your results), it means 85 Wh would equal 100%. Even slightly better than your results... Note: going from 99% to 100% took another 20+ minutes, and there might have been a taper above 90% as you tested. So all of it is not as precise as what you measured. So, I'm guessing the discharge test with the phone was just flawed and will have to check after a full 100% charge of thw power bank and a deeper discharged phone (charging it 10-100%}. Or do you have another explanation? Perhaps the BMS being inaccurate due to the transport time e.g.?
There is some additional loss in the phone so you should measure lower slightly as there is also loss in the phone charging circuit but yeah, I would expect a little more than 2.1x charges. It is true that there is that extra charge time to get to the 100% mark and that could be the difference. It's something to look at though, how much actual energy does a phone use to charge versus the claimed battery size.
Wow, thanks for this and your other videos. I'm looking for a powerbank for 2 trips. 1st is an Alpine tour of 6 days and I need to keep 2 phones and Garmin charged. The other is a safari trip where I keep phones, Garmin and cameras topped up, but requires airline specs. Also might need to back up for a laptop. Seems like the Iniu 25 Ah model is a decent offering at not too high cost or weight. It is now labelled as a 100W bank on Amazon, although the description still references 65W a lot. So hopefully it's still the same in terms of efficiency and real vs rated capacity... Will still compare to Ugreen 145W of the same capacity, which is around €28 more expensive. Was also looking at the Sandberg 30Ah, which has a handy light built in but that one probably rules out air travel (111Wh) and only supports 20W output so no laptop... Any tips?
Yeah, Iniu, isn't good with model names, apparently there is a 100W and a 65W with the same model. There is a chance that it's really only a 65W power bank, and they just stuck a bigger number on it for advertising. That's a long trip so to keep going for that much time, it depends on use of course, but add up the energy for each device and the number of charges you need to do to figure out if one will go the distance required. A solar charging panel might not be a bad idea if you are going to be stationary or in the sun a decent amount, they won't charge fast. Yeah, those larger power banks that charge really slow, a lot of fake stuff in that market. I think Iniu is a good place to start.
Yeah, it depends on needs. If you don't need a ton of wattage. This one is smaller, but when it came to a carry with a lot of capacity I took the Zmi for laptop needs, and the 15k Iniu for phone and small device needs.

Hello, wow, 30 videos in one night. First of all, how did you stay awake for that? hahaha I'd be dozing after 3. For the same price, I'd go 65W, it depends on the requirement for PPS also. Some 65W ones lack full support for that, but if you are apple eco system you don't need it. Iniu has a several chargers, the 'fast charging' line has a smaller capacity 65W and a larger wattage, 100W, 25k size. Also the 140W, but that's another class. Overall, they really seem like good power banks, the test of time is still the question.
I just bought the 140w version from Amazon, at a really brilliant price! I wanted a powerbank to run my mirrorless camera, an audio recorder and a small monitor, all at the same time So far it has been awesome, giving me almost a whole working day of runtime, that's with the camera and recorder in record. I watched the reviews of Anker and others, Inui seemed to have top in class efficiency compared to Anker. Plus the cost was more than 1/2 of an equivalent Anker etc.
@@Robin_0011 £68, but now £71. There is one on eBay at £64, but for something like this I'd rather pay a little extra and get a good return policy. Additionally, I did look at professional V Mount style batteries, like Smallrig etc, they too have lots of outputs. The Inui has covered my requirements for a much lower cost.
@@Robin_0011£68 from Amazon, seems it’s on a discount. I looked at v mount batteries from Smallrig etc, they have similar outputs and similar capacity….but at more than double the price. For my needs this one works just fine.
Love to see you review the INIU B64 140W power bank. Just bought it direct for $72 shipped, very happy with the value from a proven quality line of products.
@@AllThingsOnePlace From what I've seen the Baseus HD Blade 100W you recommend is slightly better, curious to see a comparison between the two powerbanks. As always, thanks for the knowledge you're sharing with us, I bought the Anker A23433 and the SATECHI 165W chargers, Anker Prime 27.650 mAh A1340 and the Iniu BI-B63 powerbanks.
With the 65W/25k mAh Iniu, were you able to get the full 45W input power while in passthrough? When I had it just charging, it would pull 45W, but then when I plugged my MacBook in, the Iniu would drop to just 22W in, meaning it would still slowly discharge. So still useful as a UPS, but only if the average load is less than 20W or so.
Is the graphene power bank a real thing? Or is it a unicorn made from unobtainium? I would be willing to pay a premium for a power bank that charges stupid fast. I've heard of two models one by real graphene and the other made by some crowdfunded Source that's unavailable now. Thanks!😀
haha, yeah, saw a few of those pop up on kickstarter, my spider sense said skip. I think it would be impossible to tell, all lithium ion batteries have very thin carbon layers, they want to call it graphene, sure... I'm not sure if the graphene properties would mean anything when it comes to battery structure and function. But new battery technologies do come out and make it to the market every once in a while so it isn't impossible.
@@AllThingsOnePlace I think they conflate graphene composite and true graphene. From what I've read it's supposed to be 200 times more conductive than gold, people will be charging their cell phones in 30 seconds, if they can ever figure out how to mass produce it. Thanks again
Thank you once again for these videos! No one out there doing reviews like you. If you get the chance could you review the Zedamsan 27000 145w powerbank? It’s really cheap 99 cad and can be found with discounts but wanted to see it get thoroughly examined to see if it’s worth it. Cheers and have a good day
I got the INIU and charged it from %0-100 took over 4 hours. At 100%, I left unplugged overnight and next day afternoon it said it was at 80%. Is that normal or did I receive a defect?
I have to say I bought 2 of them from Amazon and Walmart. Both same the model number. The one from Amazon, but it’s 100w. Walmart is a 65w shock about it different from both. Amazon is 1- usb c 100w 2 45w, usb A 18 w. While the Walmart is 1- usb c 65w , 30 w & usb A 22.5. I’m hopeful that it not much of a difference.
I picked up an Iniu BI-B43 on Amazon for $15 after discounts. Thought it was going to be complete trash but given the price I gave it a chance. It's very efficient, putting out 33Wh out of 37Wh or 89% via USB-C. It has 7.5W MagSafe onboard but I don't expect it to be efficient, though it does work nicely in a pinch. I am pleasantly surprised and wish I bought two at the price, now it's $30 again.
Nice vid mate Any reason you don't cover USB-IF specification? I know it's utility is debatable, but I'm on the side of it being a useful if not necessary qualification
I got the Brencil 65w 20,000 mAh battery bank and it seems pretty good. It seems to charge at 65w as well, which seems less common. I think it'd be worthwhile to review. It makes for a great companion to the Ruifei 65w slim charger, since it pushes that charger to its limits it seems.
@@AllThingsOnePlace One more thing, I realized a great way to use these things is to have 2 of the Brencil batteries, and you can run your laptop untethered indefinitely, since you can always have one charging while the other one is being used. For me, I can confidently run my laptop at any power setting without worrying about battery life one bit and the power outlet can be anywhere within walking distance for charging my laptop, which means an effectively infinite wireless charging cable length. This also brings the total effective wattage from 32 to 65, since with one battery bank, you need to be charging it and discharging it, which effectively halves your effective charging speed with a single battery bank.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Hi! My 5-years old powerbank just died and I'm looking for a laptop powerbank as a replacement. Just checking if you're planning to review the INIU B-64 anytime soon? Thanks and I really appreciate your work!
Yeah, I have several of them. My initial look at them found they were all horribly designed, complete e waste out of the box. But yeah, I might just make the video of the garbage I ended up with and maybe frame it around what my expectations are.
I just bought the 100W/25000mAh one as the 65W 25000mAh model isn't available in Canada. I'm wondering, do you have any recommendations on USB testers if I want to do some basic tests myself?
I do like the charger lab one, it's expensive, but it's the best device I've found. The main thing they all lack is the ability to calibrate them or statistics on long term stability or anything like that but for $100 versus a lab instrument at $1000 I shouldn't complain. I tried a few cheap ones, they're fine for indication. I have the FIRNSI or whatever it's called, a bunch of youtubers have reviews on it. I haven't even opened the box.. It's been here at least a year, ha.
Probably not something with USB C. Extra converters you don't want or need in the path. I use a 4 cell premade battery pack and a buck boost converter thing with a barrel jack and a screen on it as a power supply. I've been using that for years. Portable and reliable.
@@AllThingsOnePlace I'm using the INIU 100W to power my RC600 loop station with a 5v to 9v converter cable, and it's lasting for hours! the USB is getting a bit hot.. but no issues really...
@@Robin_0011 Nice! Yeah, that's a good application and I like it's more plug and play. I always worry about all that audio gear, the center negative pin... But yeah, mine is certainly more DIY. I'm using this for the converter, www.amazon.com/DROK-5-5-30V-Adjustable-Regulator-Converter/dp/B07VNDGFT6/ it'll accept a huge range of battery inputs too. So, sky is the limit there, drill batteries work well also.
