  They did a full refurb around a year ago, so it's still looking very fresh. The food court on the lower level has gone and was replaced with more shops. I don't think there are many/any empty shop units.

  You actually aren't going to be able to change these batteries like any other batteries.
  
  They are spot welded, you need a dedicated device to do so with 18650 and 21700 cells.
  
  You cannot solder wires onto these batteries, it's absurdly dangerous, you cannot tape the wires down either, it's dangerous.
  
  For anyone, if you want to be able to swap out batteries, there are good acrylic based clear 21700 enclosures (look it up on aliexpress) for very cheap and affordable prices.

The output of USB-C1/C2 under 20V 3.25A may shut down after 15 minutes if the internal protection circuit is working

I wonder if that's a an actual timer or just thermal limits.
- cyberlander on 08/09/2023 - 13:18
  
  Assumed thermal limit. I charged my 65w laptop for around 45 minutes last night, and although the power bank did feel warm to the touch (not hot), there was no interruption to charging during that time. Hope that helps.

- cyberlander on 07/09/2023 - 20:00
  
  +8
  
  I just tested this for you and yes, when charging the power bank via one of the USB-C ports, it continues to charge devices via the remaining USB-C or USB-A ports. This seems to have some level of intelligence behind it as when charging, and a device is connected, the charging circuit resets, charging resumes, and additional power appears to be pulled from the charger (if available).

      Pretty sure if the mains power goes out, the charging circuit will reset before delivering power again, so if whatever you have plugged in doesn't have its own battery, it will shut down.

Cactus ere

I haven't torn this down yet, but soon I will.

Im also willing to bet kidneys that these are maybe 2000-3000 mAh cells.

I don't think people are generally aware, but 5000mAh 21700 cells are not cheap. Look up the price of any new 5000mAh cell and you can see how different the costs are.

You just can't skirt around the cost and cut corners when it comes to true battery density.

The market is flooded from refurbished batteries however that don't undergo individual testing per cell. Common ways these ratings are circumvented are:

-These are likely cells that were once 5000mAh and cannot hold that amount anymore. These are the same cells used in EVs and high density batteries so theres a huge market for old used cells being sold as new… Who's testing after all?

-They're restickered with outright false capacity in some cases.

-They're manufacturing QC fails that didn't meet spec (much rarer)

I can't comment on anything else, as I haven't put these through testing yet, but I'm fairly certain that I know the exact PCB being reused in this, and it's on the lower spectrum of efficient at 80% ish.

You should expect the true capacity of these subsequently to be around 7000 to 9000 mAh after everything.. Which might make you think to look elsewhere for a bank however…

It's still a decent deal if it's able to push 65w sustained without heat issues and start/stopping, which is worth looking at and maybe users who already have it this can chime in because 21700 cells are rated for high current unlike the flat lipo cells you see in slim banks that are problematic.

I mention this because it's worth knowing what you're buying, and you're not buying what's being advertised for because the industry is set up to be able to obfuscate and fool you.

Battery banks below $100 likely aren't anywhere near 20-25k mAh because the batteries physically won't be high enough capacity.

Preliminary 3 cacti and 2 succulents out of 5.
- geshc on 07/09/2023 - 21:21
  
  This would be a bargain if the cells were true to spec. Essentially the same as the xiaomi zmi cells which cost around $200.
  The recharge time seems a bit suspicious at 6 hours.
  - SmoothCactus on 07/09/2023 - 22:04
    
    Yeah, the very few banks I know that have close to true capacity like the Xiaomi ZMI No20 and the Anker 537/737 are all above $100 and closer to the $200? Mark.
    
    For anyone considering any power bank, just remember that any of the good ones above $100 like the ZMI No20 should last you YEARS minimum with heavy use, I have access to multiple through testing, friends, colleagues and acquaintances that have used one to varying degrees and varying amounts of time all of which are still going strong since release.
  - SmoothCactus on 07/09/2023 - 22:23
    
    fwiw also the ZMI use Genuine SAMSUNG INR21700 50E cells
    
    The cheapest of which are $13 a cell generally and only fractionally cheaper even under wholesale for anyone curious.
    
    These are also some of the cheaper 5000mAh cells (by no means bad quality whatsoever, just don't go as high in their discharge current as battery banks don't need to go as high as some of the use cases for these)

  Best brands to look at when buying a 10,000mah+ power bank?
  Any other recommendations on what specs to look for which would indicate better quality?
  - SmoothCactus on 07/09/2023 - 22:14
    
    +4
    
    ZMI No20 comes out on top across 200 banks for me. It's unparalleled in nearly every aspect. It holds the record overall as the best money can buy based off performance, cost, form factor/density and quality. Coming up on 2 years I can also say longevity.
    
    It's the highest sustained combined output possible in a battery bank at 200w over 2/3 ports, charges the whole thing at 100w to be able to charge fully in under 2 hours. Proper good quality NEW cells. They're about $170 on Amazon (sometimes on sale for 130) and around 130 on aliexpress if you're willing to wait 1.5wks for delivery.
    
    I don't have any suggestions for 10k mAh and lower at the moment, I'll probably have something soon but you are paying a base amount for any bank, and while 10k banks are usually closer to that 10k, they have to subsidize the cost by using both circuitry and unsuitable batteries like lipo to be more cost effective. People want their 10k bank to be half as much as a 20 K bank, but it's not like that when you look at spec to spec, and to deliver that they need to cut even more corners.
    - geshc on 07/09/2023 - 23:58
      
      charges the whole thing at 100w
      
      It tapers off. Starts at 100w, then switches to 60w charging at 35% and then down to 40w charging at 70%. Then 30w at 90%
      
      That's the only thing that annoys me about this power bank. Wish it stayed at 100w up until 90%. Still charges to full in 2hrs which is very fast!

        The Anko's USB-C ports can do:
        
        15W: 5V x 3A
        
        27W: 9V x 3A - The Samsung's Super Fast Charging is 25W so this must be what enables it.
        
        36W: 12V x 3A
        
        45W: 15V x 3A
        
        65W: 20V x 3.25A
        
        The GPD WIN 2's charger is a single USB-C port that does:
        
        15W: 5V x 3A
        
        24W: 9V x 2.67A
        
        24W: 12V x 2A
        
        The Note20 Ultra 5G charged from 0% to 100% in 1h5m which I am very impressed with.

This was posted 1 year 4 months 24 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
