Portable power supply

QUICK service, arrived in 6 work days. Ordered Black Friday 11/23 as posted here.

No box, typical bubble wrap in bubble wrap padded envelope. No instructions, so print the web page as desired.

Initial impressions are about as expected. Still seems like a half step improvement over the standard plastic power bank boxes. Black is a light charcoal color. End plates are chromed plastic so it won’t take much abuse. Four very small #0 screws at each end; not convenient for battery swaps. Came with center foam baffle to prevent rattles, which appears effective.

Small and lightweight even after installing LG laptop pull 18650 batteries self-discharged to 4.02v (idle for 2 months). My wife looked at it and said it would be too heavy to carry in her purse; after holding it she decided it could ride with her just fine. Might end up riding in a sunglass case.

Lights work, looks like TIR lenses, cool white, brighter on close surface than L10 low, not up to L10 high, floodier with a good bit more total light. On button seems indented well enough but I may add some glued foam inside case to ensure the lights are not accidentally turned on. Unit and lights survived 1st drop from table to tile.

Charging wife’s LG phone now; dead to 44% charged in an hour with phone off. I’ll pull the box apart for pics after I see how it cuts off as it drains and charges. An ebay complaint was that box fully discharged over one week, so after charging I’ll let it sit for a week to also check for that.
