Everybody: iPhone 7, headphone jack, apple sucks, apple's great etc...
Linus: BATTERY BANKS BITCHES
Well he did call out apple in a linustechtips video talking about lightning headphones... Soo
Well, the iPhone 7 will need it with that tiny battery.
It's TechQuickie. It's not the place to discuss this ...
its ridiculous the size of an iPhone, my work give me an Xiaomi RedMi note 3 pro, and have a battery of 4000ma/h ir last forever and the iPhone was asking for help at 17:00 from 10:00

Buy 2 power banks and have them charge each other, that always turns out well.
I bought anker power core lite 10000 6 month ago it works excellent
You forgot the 2nd law of thermodynamics, energy would be lost in the form of heat through current transfer across the devices

"You just uh..whip it out of your pocket and BAM!"
And what? You get a painful reminder that you haven't exchanged your Note 7 yet?
Hah! Buuurn.
+potato yes, literally
you know what? That's a Note 7 pun that's actually good, compared to some of the lame ass ones people copy and paste in other comment sections. Have been a while since I haven't cringed over Note 7 jokes.
Yeah, a burn. Literally. You _will_ have third degree burns..

I actually don't get it.
I'm early, better make a joke...
Iphone 7 is revolutionary
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Excellent joke !! :D
yes it is! 😂
You lied to me, I shouldn't have bought one on your advice...
COURAGE
it is clear that linus was not meant to do this tech quickie originally lol
Linus published a video. That's me!
it's pretty clear linus is reading from a teleprompter/script that linus haven't proof-read yet and the script writer is playing a prank on linus.
+mike johnston Bob Lol. How do you know?
I'm glad he did it anyway thought
Linus is a fucking idiot, he got lucky with his channel by relying on other people being dumb as a shit and thinking he knows what he's talking about. Also, the "experts" he has on his channel know more than he does, so it balances out.
Anker 15000mAh (pre powercore) has been going strong for 4 years now.
In addition to a Project Fi gift power bank w/ 5000mAh
I've owned several brands over the years, but Anker has the best reliability, and best customer service I've experienced so far.
RIP Pokémon GO 2016-2016
Yeap. Rest In Pieces ( of shit).
Yeah, that's what everyone wants. More Pokemon.. to do.. nothing with? Oh, wait you can walk with them.
not as big as the starting spike was. It was cool and even all the generic instagramgirls downloaded it. It's already gone, so no.
The game hasn't even been 4 months yet. Give it time.
The game will no doubt die in rural areas where you can't get pokestops and there aren't any nests or frequent spawns. In the cities it's still insanely active.
Did you just refer to yourself in third person?
He was reading a script. Maybe this video was originally intended to be hosted by another person.
It would be worse if he said Luke
Damn
so pretty much he didn't answer the question of the video title...
Meh, he gave people who don't have a clue some knowledge to make an informed decision. Might be a better thing since new stuff comes out all the time.

I can answer you:
-What Battery Bank Should You Buy?
Any you like From official Company with bigger mAh
bigger mAh = bigger energy
official, becouse No names Chinas batteries - Lies about mAh sometime in 5-10 times
For Phones, Tablet its 5V and 0.5A - because in 90% cases they(Phones)
cant drain more
(except some exclusive features, Like USB 3 - it can deliver more power but, do you’re phone support that?)
In many Cases 2A and 4A on power bank is align to sum of A for all ports.
So if you have 1 port given 2A - you can charge 4 devices
(Beware using all charging port - simple don’t plug 4-10 devices in 1 power bank)
And power banks with 12-24V is for Netbooks and Laptops
He gave you the information to make your choice. Is it necessary to tell you "it depends on your needs?"
ShiroiKage009 he could have made a few suggestions based on battery bank size and category
Anker powercore 10000 (non quick charge 3.0) best battery bank I've ever had.
I have a smaller and lighter Anker, and so far it's been very reliable.
Anker is a really good battery bank company.
How about the Asus ZenPower 10.505mAh. I think iam buying it, it looks ver nice in gold skin, not very big or heavy and seems to have enough power. Iam not a expert though
i use anker microusb cables. amazing.
I don't have any knowledge of the zenpower. I didn't even know Asus made battery packs lol. Although they are a reliable brand for pretty much everything they make.
Linus: OVER 9,000!!!!!!!!!
Battery: Explodes!
seems like someone has whached DBZ 😉
Note 7: am I a joke to you?
Seems like someone Note 7-ed me
the moment i heard it , i started searching for this comment
3:24 - Did you just make a date rape roofies joke?
Geez you guys are dark today xD
I think that was supposed to be a viagra joke
Could be breath mints.
Western cultures rising resistance towards jokes such as these and the actions people have been known to take in response to the people making them means we need that kind of humor more than ever. Humor has an uncanny power to get peoples attention and possibly inform you about another way of thinking. Trying to ban things like rape jokes is not only a gravely unethical assault on liberty, its actually making the situation worse by silencing people who are trying to use a very real method of dealing with rape. On top of that, letting words of a stranger trigger you(not you) into screaming for the offender's silence is far beyond child-like and into the realm of psychopathy.
All of our major problems have been brewing LONG before obama. I dont even like the guy, but i rarely ever refer to the president in arguments anymore. Each one is mostly the same other than a few social and economic differences. The system for electing them is both ancient and rigged.
I thought it was some kind of energy supplement.
Dear Linus & Team, thank you for making these videos. They're concise, informative and perfect for us modern viewers! I love your work so much - keep up the good productions!
I used your earlier video and bought an Anker Battery Bank. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks for all the advice you give!
I use an Anker Astro Pro 2 20,000mAh every day. I got it about 2 years ago and it still holds up to my demands. I have discharged it completely in less than a day, but I was charging a PSVita and a phone for a friend while playing Ingress for multiple hours (before it's significant battery optimizations; constant high drain application of the tech).
Just built my own one using 8 18650 batterys. Works very well.
Yeah. 1 original 18650 battery cells from LG, Samsung, & Panasonic is around $ 8-12.
$ 8 X 8 Cells = $ 64. More expensive...
I use Anker Usb type C 20100 mAh power bank for my Google Pixel XL and man... I love it. It's fast and reliable. Good work Anker.
I'm thinking about getting one for my pixel 2 lol
How many charges does it give your phone before dying?
Romoss solo 5 is great, I've got a couple of them. No frills, no flashlight to accidentally turn on while in your bag, good shape, ideal outlet placement. They just work. I can comfortably keep my phone and the powerbank in one pocket while the phone charges too, which matters to me.
bro, how the fuq did you know that I'm in the market for a new giant hamster wheel?
mAh is not unit of energy
it is a unit of charge
1A is 1C/s
1Ah is 3600 C
mAh at a specific voltage is a unit of energy
because
P = IV
and E=Pt
Yah, joules=energy
It actually has a title on the screen at that time that says “Linus meant to say charge”. He knows what he’s doing (most of the time).
although you are correct, mWh is a unit of energy and is converted into to joules by a simple multiplication. As we are dealing with a constant 5 V from USB charging, multiplying the mAh by 5 V will give you mWh. So in this case I think it's okay to call mAh a unit of energy as the only thing you need to change it to one are constant.
...
Unfortunately manufacturers often refer to mAh of the battery, which has non-constant voltage.
If u put a bunch of AAA battery in a safe
Would dat be a
Power bank?
well yes but actually no
only if you support loans
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
My go-to everyday power bank has been the Anker PowerCore fushion 2in1. It doubles as my wall brick aswell which is nice. I did an unboxing video of it and so far it's been my favorite. I'll do a review video after I've used it for a few more months.
Most of these power banks use 18650 cells, these are around the size of a roll of quarters / 3quids worth of 10p.
They also tend to be around 2000mah. If you see a battery thats only 1 cell ish in size and says its higher (say 500+mah) then its bullshit. Spend the extra and get a 2cell unit, rather than a smaller one made of lies.
Just get one of the popular 20000mah banks on Amazon lol
or get one running on a flat lithium battery cell XD dont be dumb you can make your own 18650 cell battery banks
You are aware that there are high quality 18650 cells with upto around 3500mAh of capacity right? Yes they max out at around 5A continuous but thats still plenty for a USB charger. Ive seen single cell 18650 portable chargers that ive measured at around 2800mAh which is pretty good, being labeled at 3000mAh. I also have a Aukey 10,000mAh Quick Charge which has 4 18650's in it and it has a capacity of only ~8500mAh, which im ok with, but still could potentially be upto 14,000mAh using 3500mAh cells. Or like @L3G1T BMX said just get a empty shell with a USB output that holds however many cells, and put your own 18650's in it.
from experience, I'll always stick with anker batteries. they have never let me down
I have the 12,000mAh Cheero that Linus covered years ago. It will works like a beast and can charge my Note 5 from dead to full multiple times.
I Chose my portable battery as it cost 18€ for 20000Mah and happened to have 2 integrated leds as flash light i have 1 1.2amp USB port and 2 2.3 amp USB ports and i am very happy with it. I liked your video as usual
Love the on the fly charge correction. Nailed it.
omg, Linus trying to keep it together during the Audible promo was priceless.
I always get Anker stuff, seems to be a solid cost/quality balance in my experience.
Today was so funny in my computing class, my teacher said "class we are going to watch a video" and she put on UA-cam and put on TechQuiky
I strongly recommend Samsungs own power banks. It was $20 more than some third-party one with the same capacity, but the build quality and quick charge functionality easily makes up for it.
"Linus published a video" LTT is using a Linus bot to read TechQuickies confirmed.
did everyone miss at 3:23 Linus is promoting "DATE RAPE DRUGS!" WTF!
...breath mints people....come on.

That outlaw's kiss part was priceless, he had no idea that was coming lol
The sound at 0:15 sounds just like the hungry sound from Starbound.
Just watching this in 2022....that Russia joke at the end hits different now
Linus, i can suggest some highly rated audio books,
Try: the power of five - anthony horowitz
Nightmare series - stephen leather
Day by day armageddon - JL borne
Shatter - michael robotham
Been a fan of audible for years now great for long journeys in the car
For my Tablet I use Tecknet, 9000millamp with a 1 and 2,5 amp output, my other powerbank Is a DB POWER one which can jumpstart a CAR... I use that for jumpstarting my motorcycle, it's part of my breakdown kit...
this episode need an update.
many now have usb-c with usb-pd.
my bank even does 45w. (my phone only takes 25w, but future proofing is nice).
im pretty sure linus was trying not to laugh at that audio book suggestion.
3:23 is that like a date rape joke? haha shit got real out of no where
maybe viagra?
mint
Get the 20AHr from Aukey. No quick charge but it gives you 1 A and 2.1 A in two separate USB ports. It is big and heavy but if you go camping for a weekend it will work great for you. And since it's an older model it's actually cheaper. I got mine for $23 last year.
"Linus published a video" that's me!" - Nice recovery ;)
2:51
Linus published a video... that's me!
I've been using my Cheero Power Plus (12000mAh) for about 2 years on phones and tablets and it's been quite reliable.
Linus, i think another important point is how quickly the actual battery bank itself is to charge; the input specs as well as the output specs. Its useful to have a 20000mAh battery bank but if it only charges at 0.5A it'll take days for the battery bank to charge and defeats the purpose
mWh is a far better unit to use here as there's always manufacturers that are going to state the (exagge)rated mAh of the battery cells themselves, which can be at a different volts so using mWh avoids any confusion.
And let's be clear, 100Wh or 20000mAh rated at 5V output is the absolute maximum you will find as that is the legal limit for a lithium based battery. Anymore than that, and you can bet the rating is false.
wait, there is a limit :0 what about multiple batteries, like i have a laptop that can take 2 batteries, and one is 95wh, if i have two 95wh will that be over legal limit?
Yes, you can have maximum 2 battery packs in total. Neither can be over 100Wh each.
Shit that means I got ripped off coz I bought a power bank that says 30,000 mah no wonder it couldn't charge my camera like 24 times I doubt it could charge it 10 times tbh but it's so thick and heavy how does that make sense?
1:41
IT'S OVER 9000!!!!11!
I use a ravpower 13400 mAh battery pack. Has 2 ports, one 2.1a and the other 2.4a. Has a very helpful charging indicator
Thanks for telling me what battery bank to buy. Super helpful. If I wanted to figure it out on my own I would have. I'm lazy AF and want you to make my tech decisions for me. Get your shit together Linus!
4:28 I hope I'm not the only one that caught the Napoleon reference
Sigma Tech but also Hitler
Title should be: what is a power bank
I got Intenso 10k amh with A3 output for a price of 23€ quite ok I would say but I realize that it’s actual capacity might be ~5-7k taking into account the power loss from other factors as well.
I use the juice power station (11200mah) dual usb ports 2.4a + 1a, this keeps me going for a few days without having to recharge again, even using them to charge my phone, Bluetooth speakers, headphones, even the rechargeable lights on my mtb.. more than ideal for camping
If your phone is dead after a few hours you need a new phone, mine lasts all day and when I plug it in for night it is at like 70%
Not when youre catching pukeymans, i heard that piece of shit game drains battery faster than you can say "wheres my goddamn powerbank"
Or a replacement battery
What kind of phone do u have that has 70% at the end of the day that’s so unheard of unless u never use your phone almost and it’s an iPhone
Is tht a phone or a car battery
Your phone uses a fucking Tesla battery?
Hey Linus you should try to put a pc into a car!
What was failed to be mentioned in this video, is the input. If you have a large powerbank, make sure it supports 2amp input, otherwise it will take forever to charge.
Waited for a new version of this for a while now
I didn't get that joke about Russia at the end 😕
napoleon tried to invade russia and failed in the scenario explained. its hilarious really.
GeneraL_LOL really? i didnt know that haha guess ill check that out
Aaron96235 thats not what he was referring to. he was referring to napoleons failure in invading russia.
as other comments have said, basically, every time in history a major powerhouse tried to invade russia, they all failed miserably.
Easy, the joke is about Hitler invading Russia in winter and fail.
Who else saw this even though they owned a portable battery just because of linus.
I got a 50,000 mAh battery pack to take camping. It's for powering campsite LEDs... it's awesome! That's the largest I could find, before getting into scooter and motorcycle sized batteries. Plus, those don't have 3 to 4 USB ports either.
Just bought a qualcomm 2 charger. it's on the way and hopefully it improves charging time even faster than before. yay USB C!
Anker 20,000 mah best brand and best price.
the "dont forget these" ffs linus 03:26
Linus, got any new recommendations for high capacity power banks? Maybe that'll work with laptops?
I've just bought a 50000mah battery bank which is actually a laptop battery bank, it has up to 5amp output via 19v laptop charger and 2.1 amp 5v USB output. it's very handy when camping.
3:24 was this a bill cosby joke?
Were those pills a date rape joke?
It certainly seems to have come across that way based on the comments, although not sure what else it could be referencing. Sadly far too few downvotes for it.
nope, they are mints. You want a good breath before a date.
at 2:50 you can tell Linus wasn't supposed to be in this video. bahaha that "Linus, That's me." line killed me
I have the zerolemon slimjuice (18,600 mAh) battery bank. It's not currently available on amazon canada though, but would definitely recommend it regardless.
have been using ZL batteries since galaxy s3 and they have never let me down
mAh is a unit of charge, not energy. Do your homework Linus.
Yu Stephen its edited into the video.
a date rape joke really?!?!?!
dan funny
WOW, Great video, you rock, you make video that are interesting to watch. Good audio clear video. Great subject I learn a lot in just a short time.
Anker I would say is probably the best to use and fast charges
My recommendation is to not make date rape jokes.
"I am here to tell you what you can and cannot joke about"
How about FOAD.
You mean mints?
Awesomeness, I am getting ready to buy my 1st power bank.
The 2 amp ones charge faster but the1amp ones have the benefit of keeping your phone powered wile plugged in for longer. This is because when you rapidly discharge a battery to rapidly charge a differint battery more of the energy is wasted, burned off as heat or other inefficiency. 1amp is my preference for this reason.
Cool video, i like the simple explanation but i want more!
I have an anker with 20Ah for like 3 years now and it's amazing!
Im on the go alot and i still play some pokemon go with friends and i picked up the aukey 20000mah battery. Not only is the capacity big enough for about 10 charges but it has 2 outputs and you can charge with micro usb or lightning, which is very convenient for iphone users.
Test'em yourself. USB testers start at a little over a dollar for a simple model. I bought a powerbank that had a 1 Ah output and a 2 Ah output. Guess what? The 1 Ah delivered 0.5Ah to a device that prefers 1 Ah, and the 2 Ah delivered 1 Ah to a device that prefers 2 Ah. And I didn't connect both at the same time. It's capabable of delivering more, though. A load and tester went up to over 2 Ah on the 2 Ah port before it crapped out. So why didn't my devices draw more?
I would enjoy the video thank you what is the best power bank for HP laptop?
My grandma gave me a 1200 mAh battery bank for Christmas that she bought for like $50 on QVC. Tech gifts from elderly are such a bummer. It looks nice though, very shiny. It also comes in a fancy RF blocking wallet that does absolutely nothing to stop people stealing your credit card info like it claims to.
We need an updated version of this
Great video. And I loved your sense of humor.
Except you did not mention the fact that charging your phone with an external battery bank can diminish your device's ability to charge and maintain a proper charge. This is why some of the newer devices like the Galaxies advise you to only charge your phone with the INCLUDED wall plug. Yes, battery banks are great if you get stuck in a bind and your battery is dead but for the long term.. probably not a good idea to always have them plugged into your phone.
Anker MegGo 622 with magsafe, to not have to remember a cable for charging the phone is a revolution.
Weird question-I’m looking to use one of these to run usb air pumps on my aquariums as a backup during power outages-not charge it, run it while connected. Can these banks run things or just recharge things?
Recharge. You might be looking for something else in mind.
what power bank you should buy?
the one with note 7's battery
The DBZ reference to Nappa was so good, I had to acknowledge it.
Ampare is a unit of current which is defined as charging through an area per unit time, so current times time is charge that's why milliampere hours is untitled of charge and not time
Xiaomi ones are the best so far, they don't lag behind, quite cheap, relatively good capacity, support qualcomm quick charge as well, they are not fragile. Xiaomi got some newer smaller and thinner ones which sometimes have more capacity with pretty much negligible price difference you just have to wait like a year for the new releases they will make thinner, smaller yet a power bank with more capacity, this is exactly what happened with me, they do it annually.
anker is the best (in my opinion), all kinds of prices and specs as well as different features
I love my battery bank. It is an Xiaomi with 20000 mAh for just around $20 USD. It looks nice, is rather small and never seemes to go out of juice.
Dammit Linus, I have just bought one! Although, there wasn't anything I didn't already know :P .
The one I purchased was Samsung's Fast Charging Battery Pack of 10,200 mAh for my Samsung Galaxy S6. For some reason, it's difficult to find a power bank that features rapid charging technology, here in the Netherlands. Most of them tend to support 2.4 A at most - which is 12 Watts (5V x 2.4A). Meanwhile Samsung's implementation can be 15.03 Watts (9V x 1.67 A). I'm not entirely certain if ~3 Watts makes a big difference, but I rather be safe than sorry with a power bank that explicitly supports rapid charging technology.
Personally, I would have considered the Anker Powercore 10,000 with Quick Charge 3.0 (the 3.0 portion could come in handy in the future), but I can only seem to order it from Amazon and they don't support Paypal - I don't have a credit card - or my country's own iDeal (like Paypal, but through your own bank). The latter was to be expected as it's not used anywhere outside the country, but only supporting CC's is incredibly annoying.
Oh yeah, what can also make a power bank's capacity feel lower is how some of the charge is lost through heat and by converting said charge for the output.
oh my jesus the whole video is the segway to the ad this is brilliant
is there any better module or power bank for gaming laptop?
m about to buy acer triton 700 but ill get it after knowing about some good portable battery.
Hey, can you please do a video on beamforming technology?
