A battery Bank allows you to charge your Cell phone while you're on the go so the Question is which battery bank for under $30 is the best well let's find out and The first test we'll compare the maximum Output for each of the battery Banks Then we'll see which battery Bank offers The most capacity finally we'll see how Long it takes to recharge a completely Drained battery bank at a very Affordable price of only $9 is this s22 Mini this is a very popular power bank With about 9,000 of these units sold in The last 30 days this power bank is Supposed to deliver 5,000 milliamps Which should be enough to charge most Cell phones they claim that their Battery is constructed using Advanced Compression technology this allows the Battery to be half the size and weight They claim you can charge two different Devices at the same time the s22 mini is Made in China and the s22 mini is very Light at only 106 G I use two different Battery analyzers to test out the usba a Ports on the power Banks the analyzer Provides information on the volts in the Top left corner and amps is on the right And finally the information in watts is Just below the volts the analyzer allows Me to increase the power power Demand on The power bank until the power bank is Overloaded and gives up I increased the Voltage until the s22 made it to 11.13

Wats I continued to increase the power Demand from the s22 and the voltage and Amps dropped quickly and finally gave up Let's move the USB cable to the other Port and see how it performs and 11.25 Watts is very close to the same as the First port and that's all the second Port can deliver let's simulate charging Two devices at the same time using two Usba ports I'll connect Port two to the Other tester Port one is supplying one Amp or 5 watts to the tester and I Gradually increase the power Demand on Both testers and the S2 is giving all it Has at 6.11 Watts on the right side Tester and 4.91 Watts on the left side Tester that's a total of 11 Watts so Whether you're charging one device or Two devices all you're going to get out Of the S2 is a total of 11 Watts USBC Ports are a little trickier to test and The two analyzers that I just use won't Always work and the USBC cable that I'll Be using can handle up to 240 WS which Is PL plenty I'll use a tester that'll Keep track of the charging speed for a Samsung s20 plus and the s22 is charging At just over 5 Vols at 1.36 amps so 5 Amp * 1.36 volt equals 6.86 Watts that's A pretty slow charge let's see if the S22 can do any better charging a Chromebook and the s22 is still Performing about the same at 7.3 Watts Which is a very slow charge at a price

Capacity for the s22 and the miti I'll Drain the batteries at a discharge rate At around 10 watts and it's been close To an hour and a half and both batteries Are completely drained both of the Battery banks are supposed to have a Capacity of 18.5 W hours and they both Came up a little bit short 14.3 went for The s22 mini and 14.29 for the miti and The love Ley power bank is up against The X9 and the love Ley is rated for 55.5 wat hours and the X9 is rated for 99.2 and the love Ley power bank is Supposed to make 55.5 hours but it only Delivered 41% of its rating at only 22.5 W hours n X9 is rated for 99.2 w hours And it only delivered 55% of its rating At 54.8 n w hours andol and the nuu are Fully charged andol is rated for 95.5 W Hours and the Nu is only rated for 37 And the K really struggled at only 26.5 Which is only 28% of its rated capacity And the Nu is still growing strong and The Nu is finally added juice at 32.7 Wat hours which is actually pretty good At 89% of its rating and it's the sfia Versus the bashes the Sofia is rated for 55.5 hours and the bashes is rated for 37 and the Sophia delivered 50% of its Advertised capacity at 27.75 w hours and The bashes perform quite a bit better Than the sfia at 3.46 wat hours which is 82% of its rating and it's the anchor Slim against the nuu both units are

Supposed to make 37 wat hours and the Anchor slim only made it to 26.05 wat Hours or 70% of its rated capacity and The Nu outperformed the anchor at 29.92 Wat hours which is 81% of its rating and It's the mreg going up against the good And the mreg is rated for 158.4 wat Hours and it really struggled at only 52.11i and it only delivered 50.5 n Which is 38% of its rating and it's the Durkop going up against the kkus and the Duropal gave up very early at only 21.33% of its 74w hour rating and the Urus is supposed to have a capacity of 95.5 W hours and it only made it to 50.76 which is 53% of its rating and It's the RG Voda against the anchor and The RG VOD is rated for 1436 W hours and It came up way short at only 65.4 the Anchor did a lot better at 68.7 hours The most of all the power Banks I had to Test the iok by itself and it made 22.9 W hours which is 69% of its rated Capacity I also had to test the Fiat by Itself unfortunately it only made 10.96 WS missing its 18.5 W hour rating by Quite a bit if it's all about capacity The anchor 737 came out on top at 68.7 WS the RG VOA finished in second at 65.4 And x93 at 54.9 another way to consider Performance is to compare how the power Bank perform based upon their rated wat Hour capacity and the Nu b61 did the Best making it to 89% of its rating

Bashes finish in second at 82% and nub 41 81% now that we've drained all the Batteries let's see how quickly they can Be charged I'll be using an analyzer Which will keep track of the Watts as Well as the amount of time it takes to Charge the power Banks I'll also be Using a type-c power adapter which will Support up to 45 watts of charging Output and the s22 mini is charging at 8.7 wats while the s22 is slow the miat Is even slower at only 6.4 watts and the Nuu is by far the fastest so far at Around 17.27% in 2 hours and 54 4 minutes and The K took almost an hour longer than The Nu at 3 hours and 49 minutes and the X9 took just over 8 hours to reach 100% Charge let's kick off charging our next Round of power Banks and the love ly Power bank is charging pretty slowly at 8.6 watts and the sopia is charging at About twice as fast as the love LTI at Around 16.63% the love ly is finally finished Charging in 6 hours and 23 minutes and a Sophia is fully charged and it did Perform well in around 4 hours and 7 Minutes and the bashes was a little Faster than the Sophia in only 3 hours And 54 minutes and the Inu needed almost 4 hours and 12 minutes which is about The same as a sopia and the anchor slim Is very slow at almost 5 and 1/2 hours

Let's kick off charging our next round Of power Banks and the good is charging Pretty slowly at only 8.3 watts and the M rag is even slower at around 5.7 and The durco pow is also pretty slow at 8.3 Watts and the RG VOD is just as slow as A durap poow at around 8.3 watts and the Urus is doing a little bit better than The RG Voda at around 10.65 Watts I'm Using 140 W charger on the anchor since It claims to charge and discharge at 140 Watts and the anchor is starting off at 115 Watts but it is charging at a higher Rate of speed by the minute it's been a Few minutes now and the anchor is at Almost 131 watts and it's only been 46 Minutes and the anchor is almost fully Charged and the anchor is fully charged In only about 40 8 minutes very Impressive and the durow is fully Charged in 5 hours and 6 minutes and the Urist has a much larger capacity than The durap pal and it's fully charged in Just under 8 hours and the good didn't Do so good at just over 9 and 1/2 hours And the RG Voda took even longer to Charge at almost 10 and 1/2 hours and The M really struggled at almost 13 Hours and 8 minutes let's kick off Testing our final two battery Banks and Fob is charging it around 10.2 watts and The iwok is charging quite a bit slower Than the fob at just under 7even watts And F is finished charging in about 2

Hours and 33 minutes and the iok is Finally finished charging at 6 hours and 25 minutes not including the $92 anchor 737 the power banks with the highest Charging Watts include the bashes Nu 61 Sfia and kol the charging rate ranged From 14 to 17 Watts which had a huge Impact on charging speed the fiab and S22 mini did charge very quickly but They have a very small wat hour capacity On the other hand the Nu b61 K Bashas And Sophia charge relatively quickly Consider considering their capacity Possibly a more helpful way to make Sense of input current and charging Speed is to consider how many minutes it Takes for the battery Bank to gain one Wat hour of energy storage and the $92 Anchor is simply amazing at less than 1 Minute to charge a full wat hour of Energy finishing in second place is the Nu b61 performing extremely well at only 5.3 minutes to bank 1 wat hour when it Comes to power Banks there's quite a bit Of difference regarding size if it's all About size the s22 mini is the smallest At approximately 73 cubic cm the miti is Is also very compact at around 80 Finally the fiab is at 85.4 so which Battery bank is the best I've converted Raw scores into an 8 through F grading Scale to help make sense of the results Andil earned A's in every category and Seems like a great battery bang for

Under $20 my personal favorite in the Battery bank that I would choose is the Nu b61 it also earned a in every Category and outperformed the k for Charging speed and has a little bit more Storage capacity the bashes also earned A in every category but a storage Capacity is a little bit less than the Inuse finally if power bank size and Money isn't the factor the anchor 737 is By far the best because of the time of Year in weather I didn't have a chance To test a solar charging capability of The power Banks if I put together Another review on power Banks I'll try To include this in the next review Please let me know if you'd like to see Another review on larger power Banks Also I'm going to be at the Matt's Off-road recovery games this year in March so if You' like to know more about That event please check out the video Description all the videos in this Channel including this one are viewers Suggested so if you have a video idea I Hope you'll take time to leave a comment Thanks so much for watching please take Care and look forward to next time
