What have you bought?

[Norrland]

I bought this a while back... So far it's been great and it's output and usable power has been impressive.
The cold weather rating along with the digital display sold it for me.
KLARUS K5 10000mAh Power Bank IP68 Waterproof,Carbon Fiber Ultralight Outdoor Charger 22.5W Fast Charging Portable Charger Suitable for Most Phones Flashlight Headlights Headphones Gift https://amzn.eu/d/34cq6uC

Similar weight to the nitecore i guess. Waterproofing is nice. Can get the nitecore nb1000 for £40 on our Amazon atm though. 10000mah batteries are such bad value for money though. Can easy get 30000mah for similar prices. Much heavier though

 

[Munro277]

Ah ok. Guess it's one of these generic ones then? Seem to look the same under many different names. What's the benefit over a regular nitecore? Just because it's a cheaper or?

I have a Nitecore 10k too,just thought id try this for the money ,plus I wanted a number display ,so I could see exactly how much charge was going into it

In a test I saw, it releases more charge than the nitecores.

I guess one nice benefit of @Munro277 's wee one is that it's got two input charging sockets meaning you can significantly reduce the time taken to rejuice the power bank. Handy if out on longer trips and recharging on public transport or cafes and the like

Klarus is 2hrs recharge as opposed to 3.5 for the charmast

But is that 3.5 hours charging through both inputs? Seems unlikely. Should be less than 2 hours for sure. I have a 30000 Anker that can recharge using both an oldstyle micro usb and usbc simultaneously and takes about 5 hours or so. The one Munro is using also has 2 inputs for simultaneous charging it seems.

Even so... I can't see the charmast getting down to 2hrs even with 2 inputs simultaneously charging. Only @Munro277 can answer that? Or use Amazon question request.

I didn’t even know that was a thing “ double charging “
I just set off with them full ,idea of this one is it’s light to fasten onto or close to the panel and for me to see how much charge the panels put into it,with it having a display % as opposed to 1 or 4 lights lite up

I didn't know it was a thing either... I think he's confusing it with being able to charge the bank with 2 different kinds of input cable?

Not confused. Some power banks are able to decrease their charging time by utilising two input connections at the same time,.as per my 30000 aukey

I've mostly seen that with the bigger power station things, not sure I've sent it on something that I'd carry in my pack.
