This is really weird because the Deck only requires 45 watts to charge it. That’s what the stock charger provides. The chargers that have more than 45 watt capability will adjust/handshake with the Deck and just send it 45 watts.
@@tdome3000 This is pretty much well known by everyone at this point in every Steam Deck forum/community, especially Reddit, where it’s been discussed many times. Go do your research instead of spouting ignorance.
i bought anker 767 costs me around 120$ but its better to have the best if you gonna pay alot because i can make sure i will use it with other devices in the future without worrying about the output watt
7:00 I don't get these charts. The Anker needed 50% more energy to charge the Deck to the same amount, but it has better efficiency than the Baseus 65W. How is that?
Hey tdome - sorry if that chart was confusing, I see now how it could be interpreted like that! What I meant was, that’s how many total watt hours we got out of the anker/baseus, rather than how much it took to charge the deck to full. So the anker would have charged the deck roughly 1.78 times to full while the baseus was only 1.32 times to full (next chart in the video). Hope that makes sense!
Hi i just purchased the Baseus 65w power bank and have you used it plugged it while gaming ? on the steam deck and how is it holding up ? cuz some reviews are not that great for it on amazon liked and subbed to the channel =)
Hey there, so sorry for the delay! Had a busy past 24 hours. You can expect to roughly double your steam deck battery life while using the Baseus plugged into the steam deck. My battery has been holding up well! I would say also, that with Amazon’s great return policy, if there’s anything wrong or the battery doesn’t live up to your standards, you can always return it. Thanks so much for the like and sub!
@@JakeFishmanTech Yeah i know amazon is great about returning items but i hope i won't have to do that thanks for the reply keep up the good work Happy New Year
Thank you so much for this review. You answer what I was looking when it comes to power banks. I literally just received my Deck Mate package from Amazon. The current power bank I have does not work which prompt me to search for a better one. It seems like I will be making the Baseus Power Bank 65W as my go to power bank. You received a LIKE from me. Thanks bro!
Anker 737 power banks got big firmware reliability problems. Display goes into protection low voltabe or low temp or high temp mode randomly and cant be hard reset. This item needs a recal before they all get returned.
That isn’t what matters for air travel, they care about watt-hours, the capacity of the battery, rather than watts, the total output of the battery. The watt-hours- what the airlines actually care about, is 86.4Wh. It is under the 100Wh limit, and so it can fly, even with the 140W output
Yes, Baseus has a poor reputation and a high failure rate, according to many many online reviews. Their customer service also has a very shoddy reputation, with a lot of online reports that they don’t respond at all about refunds and faulty units.
Hi! I never ran a direct test, but you can expect to roughly double your battery life with a fully charged steam deck and a fully charged power bank (assuming you are using one of the Baseus/anker and not a battery like the charmast). It will also depend on what games you are running, but hope that helps clarify!
why are you testing a powerbank WHILE THE STEAM IS ASLEEP? most people who want to buy a freaking powerbank for steam deck is to extend there gaming. this is just a bad video and completely misses the point of most people who want to buy powerbanks for steam deck
Hi Almuntasser, thanks for your comment and I appreciate your criticism. I agree, how long the battery banks will add while gaming is an important piece of information from the video that should have been included. It was already 20+ hours of testing everything. In another comment I responded to how long the batteries add while gaming (which is roughly doubling battery life). One can reasonably assume how much it will add based on the info I provided in the video and the battery size of the steam deck. Hope that helps
Agreed. I bought an Anker Powercore Elite III and while gaming on the Deck, I get barely more than an hour before the Anker is out of juice…and that thing is 87W 25600 mah. Very disappointed. I assume the Baseus (at just 20000 mah) is even worse.

Thanks for taking the time and sharing these results. Great review
Nice I bought the 65 watt baseus and paired it with the anker power port 3 and am happy.
I just got a SD & 737 For my birthday today.
Not a bad outcome.

Have you measured that? Otherwise, your comment makes no sense.

@@JakeFishmanTechdumb question does the baseus 65 watt 30000mah battery bank fit inside the steam deck carrying case
How do I tell how many charges I get+ how long I get from it
Useful information and knowledge on basic battery life 👍🏽
The best video I've seen about power banks! By far :)
Imma point you to Project Farms battery bank battle royale!
Where do I get the deck ate clip?

Is the anker 737 power bank great to charge steamdeck
This was so helpful
Thanks, i am looking for power bank of Steam deck for a while, it's really helpful ~

Awesome review 👍👍
Thanks for taking the time and sharing these results.
for the Anker 737, can u customise the Watt to use? so 100w if im going on a plane
That isn’t what matters for air travel, they care about watt-hours, the capacity of the battery, rather than watts, the total output of the battery. The watt-hours- what the airlines actually care about, is 86.4Wh. It is under the 100Wh limit, and so it can fly, even with the 140W output

@@z1nky_aqz_Lascar The Battery capacity- 86.4Wh
@@TheStopwatchGod alright thanks a lot :)
Thanks for helping answer this question! Well said
For my fellow Canadians. Baseus doesn't sell or ship unit to Canada so Ankher is your friend.
Are plane USB sockets good enough to charge the battery if it dies on a long flight?
They will charge the deck, but it will be slowly. Your best bet would be to plug it into the usb before it dies to prolong the battery life.
Anker and Zendure remains the best power banks..... U didn't get to talk about the recharge cycle you can get from each of these power banks
Anker is the best
How long it will lasts the power bank when you using on the steamdeck
For the price/ money its the baseus 100w, seen it as low as 55 euros with shipping
Not mine. I have the 87W 25600 mah Anker and it sucks. Barely get more than an hour out of it while playing on the Deck, before it’s out of juice.
@@mrgringo7289it's INIU. 100%. Far more reliable and price + value ratio.
@@MrsBlaileen1Hypothetically, if you charged it while it was turned off, would you have ultimately more hours of paytime or is that irrelevant?
Where can you buy the deck mate?
i just bought one which arrived less than a week at steams official site
Baseus is not enough. I have 3, 1 faulty one, van life. Doesn't last long.
Yes, Baseus has a poor reputation and a high failure rate, according to many many online reviews. Their customer service also has a very shoddy reputation, with a lot of online reports that they don’t respond at all about refunds and faulty units.
How much hours do you get from a full charge Steam deck and full charge power bank together until it dies?

I'll be getting the 100W power bank for £90 off amazon, but I can get £29 off it so literally closer to the same price as the 65W
Great price!
Baseus suffers from poor quality control with even poorer product support.
Nice LTT Backpack lol
Thanks haha, solid backpack!

Wtf is a steam deck...
A steam rolled handheld.
basically a handheld portable gaming pc for like $400 (cheapest price they have)
