I think it hold capacity very good so I don't think I will replace it right now. I might one day tear it down and hook up battery to analyzer - but for less than 60wh - I would say it's still great. I grab it multiple times when need recharge laptop that is not usb-c complaint.
Brilliant unit, I like the idea that they can be stacked ans still be able to use the port. Shame there is only one USB port, might have been better with two, but realistically, how often would you use two at the same time? These days, yes, two might be required, but back then not so much. However, you could still make up cables, if you can use a soldering iron, or get an adaptor for a cigarette lighter to give you one or two extra USB connectors, though the adaptor will be lower powered (Usually).
Bob, maybe that's weird question - but have You ever tried 12V heated car blanket? I'm wondering if that would be good use for this goal zero and cold field day. I have same toughs but honestly biggest problem with USB ports is how obsolete they become in short time. Quick Charge, Power Delivery 1,2,3,4 I have feeling that i had bough bunch of chargers because previous one was incompatible and left You with 500mA... what I love most about this unit is just DC output - I can modify it to anything I need today and in future (just use for example car USB-PD charger or adjustable car laptop charger) - new goal zero 100AC lock You out without possibility to drain battery freely :(
Congratulations on the Video! It would be good if you made several videos showing your hacking for use in it!

What can the 19V port be used for other than laptop?
For anything that work around that voltage - or it can be used with dc-dc converter to create portable lab psu / field charger.
