Here’s a video of the YZXStudio MobilePowerPack:
It would be very cool if there’s a version with spring terminals again.
So everyone could use prefered cells.
The Li-Ion restrictions for cells integrated in electronics should be much lower?
I got this “charge adapter” today:
Sender name and declared amount do not match any of my orders.
Now there is some usb item I am not going to get, but I have no idea which one! 
Next question, do I buy a solder iron for these cheap tips or do I throw them out.
Luckily this kind of stuff do not happen very often.
5000 post giveaway perhaps. 
Any chance of reviewing the Tronsmart TS-WC3PC 3 Ports Quick Charge 2.0 42W Plug USB Charger on Banggood?
Rather rare to see 3 port wall chargers.
The problem with that is our postal rates.
I better not promise anything, I have about 25 usb chargers in queue.
Ahh, a UNIVERSAL adapter 
I just checked that SKU, and I think it’s a BangGood order gone awry :
I do not have any outstanding banggood orders. Most likely it is ebay or aliexpress.
Maybe a dropshipper?
Maybe a gift from a secret admirer? 
That may be, but I do not know what it was supposed to be (I have too many orders).
Then that admirer do not know enough about me , I have a tendency to get stuff a bit above “super economic” level, my preferred solder iron is Weller and have been for many years.
Just got my YZXStudio 8th gen power bank. Seems quite good, when I tested it with a single Sanyo NCR18650GA.
Compared to a Miller ML102 (v9) it manages to squeeze out 11 % more energy (10.2 vs. 9.2 Wh) before shutting down. All while supplying a rock solid 5,13 volts from the usb output. I stopped measuring the ML102 after the output had dropped to 4.5 volts. Usually I consider 4,75 volts as the lower limit as per usb charging specs.
I just wired it temporarily to a 18650 holder before having 4 18650GAs spot welded to form a 4P pack.
Where did you order the YZX power bank board from?
From taobao using mistertao agent. Their fees were reasonable. $4 comission + $4 international shipping added to the price of the power bank ($50). I ordered the board with 4 battery housing, that just isn’t in the picture. It also came with insulation for the batteries and some nickel strip.
Even though I requested they buy a version with English menus, mine is in Chinese. Google Translate app with live translation from the phone camera is awesome though
Interesting product.

I have already written a review of that, but it is not published yet
Thanks. Can’t wait to read it.

You should try and get a review sample of the Omnicharge. They have given out press samples. What makes this power bank special is its (stepped wave sine) AC output. There will be 120/220 V versions.
Looks interesting and the 6 cell version may be useful at mains voltage. My guess is about 40-50W for one hour at mains voltage.
I do not know where to ask for review copies, but if anybody knows them them, they are welcome to suggest me
I looked at their web site and I liked what they are trying to do.
I got a Lenmar chugplug on clearance for $13 a couple weeks back. It is kind of an MacBook specific take on the Omnicharge with its AC output designed to mate with the AC in “figure-8” of a magsafe power brick. I don’t think they sold very well.
I haven’t had a chance to do more with it than opening the box yet.
