Testing a Solar Charged USB Power Bank! For future projects
Vložit

- I needed a decent sized USB power bank for a new prototype I am building (stay tuned for that). GOODaaa offered this sample for review so I accepted. It has a built in solar panel for trickle charging, multiple USB-C outputs, a flashlight, thermometer and even a laser pointer. In this video I will put the GOODaaa USB power bank through a few tests to see if it has what it takes for my upcoming project.

@OfficialGOODaaa Welcome :) I really like this power bank, thank you for the opportunity to test it :D 👍
First time I've seen a power bank with a laser pointer. good bit of kit & a good review.
@mackychloe Thank you :) they sure thought of everything
"They" have upgraded this old form factor pretty nicely. I'm skeptical that the panel generates enough power to actually charge the battery rather than just light the LED indicators. I don't believe this power bank has USB-C PD, which is why it wouldn't power your TS101 soldering iron.
@ericchang7706 I like the rubber cables. The solar panel actually puts a few mA in, with weak sunlight. According to the manual, they state the solar panel is for trickle charging and don't leave it in the sun. I had already guessed that would be the case, with a lithium battery inside.
I figured that was the issue with the C ports. The soldering iron wants 12v+. My upcoming project already has USB-A 5V 2.1A with leads, so I'm thankful for the USB-A port. Otherwise I'd have to order a USB C cable and chop it! Don't like chopping good cables.
Very nice, and I would buy one except for one problem. I'm in Canada, and the price of them up here is 90 dollars! We get raked over the coals here pretty bad sometimes. A lot of companies charge a ton of extra money to ship to Canada, and our dollar is as weak as our Prime Minister..... HA
@colin8532 Haha! Good to see our friends up north represented here :) Sorry to hear about that pricing, if I had an extra I would drop ship you one eh.
Did you try searching amazon.ca? I found it for 29.99 on sale. But I cannot tell if that's CAD or USD
@@solarpoweredge - I can probably order it from the US site cheaper. They'll become affordable soon enough anyways. Thank you for sharing, excellent video!
@colin8532 Welcome!!! :D
Awesome bit of kitt my 9year old has been using these for 2years to use usb for a fan n charging his fone and usb lights for the night time❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Great video knowledge Amazon sells higher power MAH one's too😋😋😋😋😋😋
@steveadal4735 It's awesome that he's into solar at a young age hehe - perfect way to teach the kids about future tech and get them thinking :) 👍 thanks for watching, liking and commenting too :D
I have a different solar charger power bank. The thing I noticed is that in low light conditions the little LED indicator light (indicating that it is charging) actually consumes more power then the tiny solar panel is producing and when left in this state for an extended period, the thing will drain the battery without anything plugged into it. I'd be curious if this unit has the same issue or if they figured out how to not try and charge the unit if the solar generated is too small. Or at least, leave the LED off so that it can get the tiny amount of trickle charge.
@JamesGreen-gv4yn It needs at least weak sunlight (like in a window) to trickle charge, if the light is too dim it comes down to a point where just the LED is blinking
