When I got The Wolf Box jumpstarter, it came with its own 1-port fast charger, so something like that would be a dedicated charger that concentrates on a single port, with no “sharing”.
Depends on the circuitry of the battery or charger.
The Anker isn’t just a simple power supply, there’s a digital handshake protocol where the devices agree on the voltage/power being delivered.
If your device cannot do that the Anker should fall back to minimum USB specs (probably 5V/2A).

Ok. The guy who did the review on the flashlight said his 65 watt charger did it in eight and a half hours instead of 10 and a half. I have no idea what brand his 65 Watt charger is.
It wouldn’t hurt the battery of that capacity would it?
You have to tell me more about the specs of the battery and charger you want to connect the Anker to.
Just another thought about this. I could be wrong. This is just using logic without knowing exactly how these chargers and batteries interact.
I got the okay to use this Anker charger for my Samsung S20 FE. He is a technician at a Samsung repair shop. He’s put batteries in my phones.
My cell phone has a capacity of 4,500 mah.
The 46950 is 32,000mAh. I know there’s more to it than that but I think it would be all right?
What kind of port does your charger have? A link to the exact model you use would be good.
I took a picture of the charger and the ports and the model number it’s in small print.
See my original post with the three photos.
Literally from one layman to another, I’d trust the Anker charger to do the right thing. Unless I’m whacking a bit of power into my phone and need it quickly, I’m happy with the long and gentle charge times.
I have an Anker 737 24,000mAh powerbank that I plugged into a Nillkin 65w charger and it counted up the battery percentage so fast it worried me. I’ve taken to overnighting it using an Apple iPad charging plug and cable.
No idea if this is correct thinking or not, but I’m more comfortable when things don’t start getting warm.
I assume you are charging the cell in the Mach, yes? You need to find the specs on the USB charging circuit on the light. But the bottom line is that there should be no problem using the charger in you pictures,. If it supports the same charging protocol that the input on the light does it should be able to give the 65 watt rating. So if the light supports PD fast charging at 20 volts the charger will give it 3.25 amps (max, but remember charge rate goes down as the cell gets closer to its capacity. Remember that CC/CV charge algorithm). The cell optimally has 32 amp/hour rating. That is about 10 hours to fully charge from dead with the pictured charger.
Lumintop says 9 hours to charge the light. But they don’t say what the starting point of charge is. But we can figure they would need an average of 3.55 amps to get 32 amp hours of charge into the cell.
So that, maybe if you got a 100 watt charger, and the protocols matched you could get a very slightly better charging time.
But do remember when reading about charging times that people quote. They can be meaningless to a great extent depending on the SOC (state of charge) of the cell is when they start the timing the charge. I would think, easily accounting for 30 or more minutes of difference plus or minus.
But yeah you should be fine with the Powerport3 charger. And in theory it should come real close to maxing out the charge rate.
Sofirn HS42 jus arrived and it’s great thx
Missed it as it’s listed as a headlamp and that’s not how I will use it. Appreciated!
Yep, it’s a hoot!
Here is the user manual regarding battery charging.
I’m going to use it. I bought an extra battery because it takes so long to charge and it’s good to have an extra one. I think the worst thing that happens I ruin the battery I don’t expect it to be blowing up.
It’s fine. The Anker and your light support all of the important charging protocols and they will handle everything automatically.

In the name of science I just supervised my Anker 737 powerbank when plugged into the very rapid Nillkin 65W charger. The Anker stopped charging at 73%. I unplugged it and plugged it again a couple of hours later, when it proceeded to charge to 100%.
So the digital handshake protocol seems to work well.
I don’t think that you will ruin the battery. Were that to happen it would more likely be caused by the charging circuit in the light and not the power supply that you decide to use.
The capture you provided pretty much matches with my rough calculations.
You won’t get 4 amps put of that charger, as it is rated for 3.25 amp max) but the difference in charge time won’t be that much different.
If you want to max it out you would need a 100 watt PD charger. One rated for at least 5 amps at 20 volts .
But again, you won’t hurt anything using that charger.

I have a stupid question. Just sold a Sofirn Q8 Plus, tons of fun with the Samsung 40T batteries but not really getting much use.
Now I find myself browsing the big lights again, typical of the disease of flashaholism, and was on the Wurkkos site looking at a rotary ring dive light. See, I kept the batteries and now have 3 very decent high draw 21700 batteries needing using, I’m getting antsy. 
Can dive lights run in air without burning up, or do they need the water to cool them?

Anduril 2. Is this true?
You have to be in advanced mode to activate turbo and to be able to set the thermal limit?
A sign that you are an advanced mode is when you’re able to have smooth ramp. Not stepped?
My Q8 is and stepped UI and I can still activate turbo. So I’m not sure what’s up with the information I got.
Thoughts? Your experience? THX.
No turbo in simple mode but can still switch between ramp and stepped.
It sounds like you’re in advanced mode.
As far as I know, the only way to be certain if you’re in advanced mode is if the voltage check repeats itself. In simple mode it stops at once.

Can you be in advanced mode when it’s in stepped mode not smooth ramp?
The way it is in stepped I go all the way to the top I double click and it gets brighter so that’s got to be Turbo?.
I was always under the impression if it’s not smooth ramp you can’t be in advanced mode activating Turbo and the thermal limit.
