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

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

Bartosz Olszewski should i buy romoss 20000 ones
@@sabingurung8150
I bought a Romoss 30000mah
Charged my Mate 20 Pro, (4200 mah) to full
Plugged my Arctic Air and a small desk fan
Went to sleep
Woke up 7am in the morning with 2 more bars of battery life.
Battery drained by 1pm in the afternoon
10/10 would buy again

"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..

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.
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
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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).
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).
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.
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.
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.
omg, Linus trying to keep it together during the Audible promo was priceless.
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...
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.
Hi Is it okay to directly connect the solar panel to asus powerbank without damaging it? and how much voltage from the solar panel is preferable to be use?
The sound at 0:15 sounds just like the hungry sound from Starbound.
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 am always confuse about how much amp needed for each of my device. I have charger & powerbank with multiple output but i do not know how to identify if my device are charging as it should. Can you do a video on how we can calculate & optimize the output for our charger/ powerbank? Thanks
It's simple just use this formula to calculate how much watt that your charger/powerbank produce watt=ampere × volt just see that how much volt and ampere your charger has and then multiply it to find watt
Also regular devices need 2 ampere
So, my phone had a 1300MAH battery and I replaced it with a 1400MAH battery (Which is what my phone was designed for but I lost my battery somehow and had to use an older model's one.) and I'm wondering... How much will that actually help?
from experience, I'll always stick with anker batteries. they have never let me down
I always get Anker stuff, seems to be a solid cost/quality balance in my experience.
My battery bank doesnt charge.. Do I have to fully spend all of the power thats in it or what?? I have a some kind pf a walter battery bank... Please help?
today i drown my iget power bank .... 8000 MaH and idk its broken or it will be work again because "capacity" leds are flashing and i connect it to usb led and its flashing every 5 seconds ... any advice ?
Today was so funny in my computing class, my teacher said "class we are going to watch a video" and she put on CZcams and put on TechQuiky
bro, how the fuq did you know that I'm in the market for a new giant hamster wheel?
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.
wondered how come some battery packs it is advised not to charge the phone from it while the pack is charging from the mains
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.
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.
I'm going on a trip in a couple of months requiring some long flights. I have 3 or 4 battery banks I plan on taking for the trip, but I'm concerned whether they are allowed on the plane. Anyone have an answer?
Lawren Downing yup legal limit allowed on a plane is 99Wh.
Love the on the fly charge correction. Nailed it.
im pretty sure linus was trying not to laugh at that audio book suggestion.
"Linus published a video" LTT is using a Linus bot to read TechQuickies confirmed.
I've a Yoga Tab 2 which need 5.2V and 2.4A (info read on charger). I've tried to charge it with 2 different battery pack 5V 2.4A, it don't work! can someone find me one that will work plz? Thx
Hey, I've been buying and trying many power Banks and that 2.0 amp port had been a lie in every case. What gives? And my phone supports rapid charging. It has a 4000 mAh capacity and when I use the wall charger that's readied at 5v 2A, I get a sweet 1200-1500 mA charge. When I try the 2 amp port in these power Banks, they put out an average of 200-300 mA.
What's the deal with that?
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?
3:23 is that like a date rape joke? haha shit got real out of no where
maybe viagra?

Hey Linus Tech Tips, why is it that, when I switch an application from windowed to full screen, my monitor feels the need to cause an epileptic seizure? (why does it blink on and off several times)
I would enjoy the video thank you what is the best power bank for HP laptop?
did everyone miss at 3:23 Linus is promoting "DATE RAPE DRUGS!" WTF!
...breath mints people....come on.
Most likely this
Interesting to see where your mind goes Ray :)
lol
I was thinking it was E.
"Linus published a video" that's me!" - Nice recovery ;)
Linus, got any new recommendations for high capacity power banks? Maybe that'll work with laptops?
what about charging above 50% in Li-pl batteries? wont the resistance increase the higher percentage it goes and in effect last longer to stop at 50 and recharge over and over when it gets low?
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.
Just watching this in 2022....that Russia joke at the end hits different now
That outlaw's kiss part was priceless, he had no idea that was coming lol
I have ipad pro so i need 29 watt usb c, i have switch so i need 18watt usb c, i have note 5 so i need 15watt quick charge. Which is the best powerbank for me 15000mah plus please

Ik this has been 4 years but can you use those wireless pads to turn your smartphone into wireless charging on a power bank so that you can place it on a wireless charger and charge the bank wirelessly
I have a ZeroLemon 30,0000 milamp power bank is it any good? Also a 22,000 ma Akeem solar
1:41
IT'S OVER 9000!!!!11!
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?
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.
Can you do an updated version with ac outlets battery bank
Hey now 30000mAh power banks are available lol
And you can even build your own

Please tell me the best power bank for my iphone
I've been looking at gaming laptops and getting frustrated I thought m.2 was PCIe basted yet lower end gaming laptop same time have SATA based m.2. Is m.2 not an industry standard? Can you do a fast as possible on that? I'll double check your m.2 video but I don't think it was in that.
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?
the "dont forget these" ffs linus 03:26
What I don't understand is this: I have an Anker 20,000 amh powerbank. I have a Kindle paperwhite with a 1600 mah battery. I can only charge the Kindle 4.5 times from the Anker. 20,000/1600 = 12.5. What gives? Seems like I should get at least 10 charges not just 4.5. Is it really losing 74% in transfer?
If I use 2KW a month from the electric grid and want to make a wind turbine to produce the same amount of Kws, what kind of alternator or generator should I use? How much watts? No batteries, directly into the power box with a transfer switch.
3:24 was this a bill cosby joke?
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.
can u suggest some way to verify the specified amperehour rating
what power bank you should buy?
the one with note 7's battery
Who else saw this even though they owned a portable battery just because of linus.
Anker 20,000 mah best brand and best price.
Anny Battery Bank`s sutebal for Lap-Tops ?
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.
mAh is a unit of charge, not energy. Do your homework Linus.

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
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
