There will be powerbanks delivering up to 100W with QC soon.
Currently power sources up to 89W for USB-C are available. In the future, more devices, cables and power sources will develop maximum power in this direction.
Pardon the late reply, I just got the Blitzwolf BW-C10 QC3.0 car charger the other day. I can confirm that it can quick-charge the Mi 20000mAh v2 (PLM05ZM).
I only did a quick check though. USB meter reports charging at 11.6v at 1.10A when I plugged the PLM05ZM powerbank to the BW-C10’s QC3.0 port. Not sure what is the highest current at 12v that the BW-C10 supports in real-world testing, will re-test when I’ve got more time (official spec says 12v @ 1.5A).
Not to mention the specs on that supposedly wonderful thing...
Charging time could be measured by the erosion of stones using 5V @ 1A ;) About 15 hours for a full charge!
so basically the PLM05ZM is THE BEST power bank of the world at the moment…!
of course among the 20k power banks…. going OVER is just stupid and corrupts portability
AVHzY CT-2 / KT001 meter and YZXstudio ZL1100 load. Testing the offline curve recording functions right now. I had the ZY1276 but the AVHzY is superior in every way.
Maybe you could do a quick-look mini-review of this USB meter in a separate thread? Looks interesting. Just did a Google search, it looks like the CT-2 is also marketed as the KT001 (Power-Z) and the Kotomi Premium (Kotomi “Pre”).
Many new USB meters with more powerful features have just arrived the past year, though one important functionality is interfacing with a PC software and to be able to record/graph/chart data values (which the ZY1276 unfortunately does not — it only outputs raw values, but no in-house PC software that can do graphs other than read values).
Of course, one other thing is whether the USB meter is as accurate as it says (4 decimal places is already very accurate, in my opinion). Unfortunately, would need specialized equipment (like HKJ) to verify that they’re really precise… I’d like to think that the ZY1276 is factory-calibrated to be accurate (can’t be sure if it really is though…)
Another thing is to allow the USB meter to be powered independently (so it doesn’t drain a minimal current from the USB power device it is testing, which affects the result) — ZY1276 doesn’t have this, but it looks like the KT001 can have independent power source so as not to affect results of the device being measured.
Recharge time 6hr 11min @ 12V/1.6A max (with QC)
I don’t have a QC charger, but I do have a charger that can deliver 3.5A over a standard USB micro cable.
So my question is: Can the PB charge fast without QC but high amp ‘regular’ charge at 5v?
Better interface, easier navigation with 3 button, QC trigger, MFi authentification, USB PD support, PD listener, more user friendly Desktop app, internal memory for 5 graphs… and the list goes on
That’s a shame because that means a very long charging time for such a beast.
I have 26800 EasyAcc with 2x2.1A. I wouldn’t want to go back to even slower charging.
Often it doesn’t matter it takes many hours to charge, but sometimes, like between flights, it’s ‘essential’ to charge as quickly as possible.
Where ae the powerbanks that charge 60% in 15 mins like modern phones?
Your EasyAcc 26800 contains 99Wh, so to charge it from 0-60% in 15m, 240W would be needed.
I doubt that a reliable phone will pump up from 0-60% in 15m without increasing degradation of the battery.
Modern smartphone batteries ale LiPo batteries and degrade faster. Also the have only 1-1.5Ah, so with 2C 50% in 15m are possible.
With 18650 cells 1.5A-3A are regular. Only few cells can be charged with up to 6A, like the Sony Konion US18650VTC6.
An 4x18650 powerbank charging each cell at 3A you already have 44W of energy consumption. No USB power plug offers 9A at 5V to charge a powerbank with this current.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but has anybody observed unusually slow charging with this model? Mine has started to charge at 0.92A throughout the entire charge cycle and i’ve confirmed that it’s neither a charger nor cable problem, my 5000mAh Xiaomi charges consistently at 2A, while this 20000mAh always did 1.42A max.
