You'll never run out of power with this 10,000 milliamp hour external battery
0:04
Let's check it out. Dave Taylor here, and you don't have to be in the middle of nowhere to have a real problem
0:17
when your phone dies. Enter this. This is the TN-Tor 10,000 milliamp hour external battery, and as you can see, it's small
0:27
It's 5.1 inches by 2.6 inches by four tenths of an inch thick, and it weighs six ounces
0:34
Most importantly, it rocks your charging. Now, everything's on the end here, so there's micro USB, which is an input only charge
0:44
Comes with a micro USB cable, but you don't have to use that. You can charge it through USB-C instead
0:49
Honestly, I don't know why they have the micro USB on here at all
0:53
Maybe for old school purposes, but they could take that out and this would work just as well
0:59
Now, that USB-C in the middle is worth talking about because it's an output charger too
1:04
of course, and it's running an 18 watt power delivery charge. When I hooked it up to my iPhone, it worked great
1:11
We'll come back to that in a second. And then on the other end is a USB-A plug, and that runs 18 watt quick charge 3.0, so
1:20
that also works really well. To test it, I have two phones
1:25
I started with my Google Pixel 6 Pro, and I plugged it into the USB-A port on the charger
1:33
and let it charge, and it wasn't that great. It was about a 30% charge in an hour
1:40
Nothing to write home about. Still helpful. But where this really shined was with my iPhone 13 Pro, and I used a very short USB-C to lightning
1:51
cable, plugged it into the charger, and I got a whopping 73% charge in an hour
1:59
That's even better than they say it will get. So that was something that really startled me
2:04
That's a lot of charge in a really small amount of time, which also means that if you only
2:09
have 15 or 20 minutes to give it a top up, you're going to get at least 20% charge, which
2:15
is pretty nice. Now, I should say that the speed at which it charges is a function of how charged the
2:23
phone is, that modern phones do this. So if you're at zero, you'll move to 50% a lot faster than you will from 50% to 100%
2:33
In fact, that last 10, 10, 15% can actually take a while, because your phone is really
2:39
happy charging up to about 90% or so, and then it slows down that very last bit of charge
2:46
and that's just to do with battery, overall battery life. So nothing's wrong there, but when you're testing out chargers, recognize that going
2:54
from 20% to 50% is faster than going from 70% to 100%
3:01
So now, this also features a little tiny power button on the side, and when you push it
3:07
it gives you a little LED readout that shows you how charged it is, which is great, because
3:12
you don't want this to die. More importantly, as you can see in this picture, it also has a green LED that shows
3:19
you when you are getting quick charging. This was with my iPhone 13 Pro
3:24
So the unit has a three-year guarantee. It's pretty tough and durable
3:29
The biggest criticism I have of it is that it doesn't come with built-in cables, but
3:33
it's not supposed to come with built-in cables. So you do have to manage the charger, make sure it's charged, your phone, and the cable
3:42
that you need to be able to use the charger. Some of these, even from this company, have built-in cables
3:48
Honestly, I get better quality cables if they're not built-in, but there's a convenience factor
3:53
So that's the only thing you need to know. Otherwise, it's really just about the price, and this is pretty darn affordable
3:59
If you've ever been at school or at work or at a trade show or backpacking or something
4:05
and your phone just ran out of juice, something like this is an absolute lifesaver
4:10
If you wipe out on a bike trail, which I might or might not have done, then having
4:14
this makes sure you have insurance that your phone is going to work and you can call for
4:18
help, not a bad thing. So let's talk about that price. But before we get to the price, I'm going to ask if you could subscribe to my channel
4:26
A click or a tap on that subscribe button and we're connected. Super
4:30
Now, this is the TNTOR 10,000 milliamp hour external battery. This is silver
4:36
It also comes in black. And it is $28.99 at Amazon.com. Simple, easy
4:43
Make sure you have the right cable with you. It holds its charge for a super long time
4:47
You could leave it in your car, the bottom of your backpack, whatever
4:50
And whenever your phone's running out of juice or your tablet or any other device that can
4:55
charge off of something like this, then here you go. You've got your insurance policy
5:00
That is just smart thinking. That's all I got. I'll catch you in my next video
