Your devices will never run out of power with this power bank. Let's check it out
0:12
Dave Taylor here and like so many people I have a lot of mobile devices
0:16
I have a lot of things that have batteries in them Which means that at any given point something is running low
0:22
Something has its little battery icon going into the red zone or something has just stopped working might be my flashlight
0:29
Might be my air pods might be one of my smartphones. It might even be my watch, right
0:35
So at any given time I'm looking for power and trying to figure out
0:39
Hmm, how do I juggle all that and make sure I have the power I need without having to constantly be sitting by power outlets
0:46
enter this This is the monoprice 20,000 milliamp hour five port power bank with wireless charging and it is a bit of a beast now
0:58
I can tell you that it has those like I said five ports. So on the bottom, there's two
1:05
USB a 2.4 amp plugs. There's one that's orange. That one is actually an AI based
1:12
Charging system that can deliver up to twenty two point five watts
1:16
It will negotiate with compatible devices like really every modern smartphone and then on the side there's USB
1:24
C that is actually running power delivery 3.0 and that can deliver up to 20 watts
1:31
And that's also how you can charge it or there's a micro USB. That's input only it that's also for charging
1:38
I'm not sure why that one even exists on here I'd rather see two USB C but be that as it may you got three USB a
1:46
One USB C and then on the front you have Qi wireless charging and this is up to 15 watts
1:53
So that's a pretty nice wireless charging unit. You can charge up to five units simultaneously and
2:00
20,000 milliamp hour just by comparison your typical smartphone has about a
2:06
4,800 to 5,000 milliamp hour battery, so this can give you at least three more full charges
2:12
That's very handy more importantly you can charge multiple things simultaneously Now you will need to bring your own wires. It does include one wire. That's USB C
2:23
USB a so that's helpful in fact. Let's go ahead and use that and we'll plug in my Google pixel
2:31
so Now that one's charging you see that it's charging so so on the bottom
2:36
And then let's see I have plenty of cables for this test so now I have an iPhone 14 Pro
2:44
So I still need to use a lightning connector, so we'll do that on the side
2:49
So we got USB C to lightning connector, and we'll plug that in and
2:54
There's the battery icon on the top corner, so now we got two things charging. I'm gonna just keep going and
3:01
Let's see so my flashlight. This is actually this very slick flashlight also uses USB C
3:08
So let's do USB C. Oh Actually nope that's micro USB, and I don't have a micro USB cable here, so we'll leave the flashlight alone I
3:20
Do have however lightning to USB a so I'll use that Well, you know let's use that for my air pods, and that's easily done by just plugging it in on the bottom
3:33
And you hear that ding that means it's charging and while I'm at it. Let's see I have another USB C
3:40
so let's do this let's Unplug my phone. I'm gonna use the USB C to charge my Apple watch and
3:48
We're gonna do that by plugging that into the USB C This is as it happens getting all this to work, and so now I'm gonna put my watch on here and
3:59
That should show us there you go There's that icon showing that the battery on the watch is being charged and now I have my other phone
4:07
So what am I gonna do? Wireless charges, so I'm gonna put it on top and
4:12
There we go. It's a 95% charge so we got One phone charging a second phone charging my earbuds charging and my watch charging all
4:23
Simultaneously all plugged into this monoprice power bank. That's pretty cool now
4:28
What else can I tell you there is if I move things out of the way? There's an LCD power level
4:35
And that's really wonderful because you don't have to worry gee I wonder if I have any power left in my power bank
4:41
It shows you I have 88% so I got plenty of juice to power all these different devices and like you know as you can see you can
4:50
Simultaneously charge multiple devices. It's pretty important and then in terms of dimensions. I'm go ahead and unplug everything now
4:58
I'll have to charge them again momentarily So this is 6.1 inches by 2.8 inches by 1.0 inch and it is 13.4 ounces
5:08
It is definitely heavier than your smartphone But it's also the equivalent of three or four smartphone batteries all jammed into one little unit
5:16
So that's pretty sweet and just as a quick tour of the edges and such you can see that
5:22
There's the three USB a on the bottom USB-C and micro USB on the right hand side and a power button where you can just test your battery and power level on the
5:33
Left side and of course on the front is both the Qi wireless charging and the display that shows you your current charge
5:40
So that's really everything. I gotta say I really like it It's a tiny bit of a hassle having to bring your own cables and obviously you don't always have the right cords and cables
5:51
But that's sort of the nature of things right now And that's why we're at a transition point where like the iPhone 15 is moving to USB-C
5:59
If everything just used the same connector imagine how much easier that would be until then we have this that supports
6:07
four different styles of charging Simultaneously, and there's a lot to say for that. So this is well actually hang on before I tell you the price
