Yeah I'd definitely wait till they stop price matching and you can confirm they have stock. Also when I've been sent the wrong item by…

Ozito batteries are great value compared to the alternatives. What structural issues have you had?

ZMI No.20 2.5W (5V 0.5A) test. 65.04 Wh (73.16%) Anker 737 2.5W (5V 0.5A) test: 61.93Wh (71.68%) Not an unexpected result, as the voltage…

Yeah - I was just referring to the "Multi-Function Tool was $119(pricehipster.com)"

Multifunction shows up as $149 for me (in the still cached Bunnings search page).

Hmmmm now I am thinking about a DIY adapter to turn 2x 2.5Ah batteries into one 5Ah. I believe the 5.2Ah uses the same 20650 IXR21/66…

I have my 737 on my desk, so will keep hitting the power button and then letting it auto sleep just in case I can replicate it with enough…

Tough call. But for me, the ZMI No.20. Mostly because I use pass through charging a reasonable amount. And the ZMI slots into my laptop bag…

I wish I knew! The INIU power banks I have tested so far have been ones I bought myself on the various super cheap deals here on OzBargain.…

Impressive! But yeah even the lightest large capacity power banks are quite heavy in a pocket or bag.

The nominal voltage for the cells is set by the manufacturer, rather than being an exact reflection of the cell chemistry. Most 3.7V cells…

Not that I have seen. It is presumably at the worst efficiency output, or potentially all outputs combined. There's no specific standard so…

Which specific Legion model do you have? And you are using the INIU B62? As it happens I also do laptop testing for TechRadar, and I been…

Yeah ok. I have not been able to find any combination of modes etc that will cause mine to stay on. Hopefully if it is a bug that causes it…

Not that it matters real world, but out of interest, my ZMI won't sustain 200W output for the full capacity. (2x 20V 5A from USB-C 1 and…

^ Me every time I travel.

What was your specific test setup? I will (try to) replicate it to avoid any differences in testing. For example, the USB-A port uses a…

In a very limited way. It will pass through up to 90W, but won't charge itself while in pass through mode. And does not do UPS mode.

Anker give a usable capacity rating on the power bank itself, but are terrible at actually making the specs easily available online! At 5V…

I am now! (for Australia) I have actually done freelance work for TechRadar for many years. But I recently joined the team full time.

No, not yet but they are on my list. They are expensive / harder to buy in Australia. Do you have a specific model you are interested in? I…

An excellent power bank that is quite efficient. Having a screen that gives wattages, plus other info like total Wh in and out is very…

The INIU B6 is a great option. https://www.techradar.com/au/news/top-portable-chargers#section-the-best-budget-power-bank Cheap ($26 right…

Yeah nice - I will replicate your exact test and see what I get. With limited time and many power banks, I only test a subset of all…

Out of interest, what's your testing setup? I have the 65W B63 but mine is great - over 90% of the rated capacity in most tests. That's…

In short, it's because lithium ion batteries don't have a consistent nominal voltage.. In this case the listed Wh and mAh are from the…

Google tells me the Meta Quest 3 will use PD 3.0 spec 9V 2A. So just about any 20W (or 18W rated power bank will do the trick. The [INIU B6…

Yeah absolutely, and it's something I'm experimenting with. But it's a big time commitment so for now the priority is expanding the number…

It depends on what you need it for, as there are many options! These are the one I recommend out of what I have tested so far.…

15" M3 Macbook Air = 66.5Wh battery. After (normal) efficiency losses, the B62 outputs about 65Wh for laptop charging. The Macbook Air will…
