Interesting product, might be useful for shuttling juice from my Delta (sipping down solar juice) out to my devices, while being able to ultra-fast charge it when it's needed. I use a few USB-PD packs for that today, which take an ~hour to charge at 60 watts (one's 72Wh, one's 60Wh, one's 90Wh). They do the job. But I sometimes wonder about supercaps. Don't know why they bothered making the dock itself a charger with a fancy display. That part makes no sense to me and has absolutely no interest. I'd want the dock to do its job of quickly dispensing juice into the supercap bank, and then the bank has all the fancy display and clear covers and ooh-aah to it, as *that's* the primary interaction. And I was a bit frustrated seeing so much demo of the dock and so little done to demo/talk about the pack itself. How hot does it get (i.e. its efficiency or lack thereof, under certain loads)? After cycling, did it regain its rated Wh capacity? Etc...
Great video. Can you recommend or do a review on an external hard drive for phones? I don't own a computer and want to store a bunch of videos and pictures
Nice review, but this powerbank makes no sense. It has the size of a 20,000mAh unit but only has "8,000mAh". The fastest charging speed isn't much different to the high end powerbanks available today, there's an Anker one with 140W input 250W output and 24,000mah capacity at much cheaper with the charging base included. They claims it fully charges very quickly but that's due to the fact that it has extremely low capacity. Some phones will charge 0-80% in the same time, which is more charge than this powerbank can give the phone after being fully charged. Capacitors tech haven't evolved at all for the past 20 years while lithium ion tech has been advancing at an insane speed. Phones charging at 3-4X rate of the battery capacity is just stupid fast and unimaginable 10 years ago. Making this product pretty much obsolete for its size and capacity limitations.
mAh means nothing and the industry REALLY needs to stop using that term. mAh tells you nothing about energy capacity without a voltage reference, and this is god-tier proof of it: there are many different voltages it can output, and its internal battery isn't even a freaking battery! Watt-hours ARE a definition of actual energy capacity, and at 24Wh, it actually tells you something. About half a small laptop charge. Maybe 1-2 phone charges. That's where it's useful, and showing Wh actually tells me what I need to know about the pack, its charging rate, its capabilities, etc.
Thank you for the review Jai
Thanks for the good review 👌🏻👍🏻
Wow that is a cool devices. Sound like i might need to buy one.

Well you can charge other things or use this as a dock while it’s charging the super cap

ill take a look

Agree, only the wh means everything
