This is probably the world's smallest power bank. Let's check it out. ��

Dave Taylor here, and I'm going to talk about something fairly mundane, and that's power
0:16
Our era is defined by all of the devices that we carry, and our phones, and our tablets
0:22
and our earbuds, and all of this sort of stuff. Everything needs power
0:26
Which means that most of our day is spent trying to figure out where we're going to charge
0:31
what we need to charge, and how much charge it needs. So, that is a pain
0:36
Enter this. This tiny little thing is the TNTOR UltraThin, as you can see, portable 2500 mAh power bank
0:47
So, 2500 mAh is about one full charge on an iPhone, and I used it with my iPhone 13 Pro
0:55
It worked well. I'll show you that in a second. So, charges via micro USB when you need to charge it
1:01
In fact, let me give you a couple close-ups. So, here's the micro USB connection for charging it
1:06
and then it actually has a built-in lightning cable. How sweet is that
1:11
It's a tiny little cable and plug, and that means you don't need to get anything else
1:16
or find anything else to be able to use it to charge. It also has short circuit protection
1:21
Now, I plugged it into my phone, and let's plug it in right now and see what happens
1:25
If I can get it to plug in, and there you go. You can see it's charging, right
1:31
So, it charged 35% in an hour. So, my phone was in the middle of its charge life
1:39
and this is important because if your phone's at zero, it'll charge faster
1:44
and if your phone's at 90%, it'll charge really slow to get up to that very top
1:49
And, of course, this is an iPhone. It's a lightning connector. They do sell devices with different types of connectors if you're not an iPhone person
1:56
So, in terms of its size, you can see it's remarkably small
2:02
There's also four LEDs here that show you the charge status. There's a tiny button on the side you can push to get them to light up
2:10
and it is, they say, six credit cards thick. So, here's a picture of six credit cards versus the thickness of this
2:17
You can decide if they're the same thickness. And I will say, on the downside, that the wire for the little cable is very flimsy
2:28
This is very thin because their engineering was all about size, not toughness or durability
2:35
and it does feel like this is not going to last years. If you do have any issues with it in the first 12 months, it does have a 12-month warranty
2:43
but I fear this is something where, if you want to get the maximum life out of it
2:48
you're going to have to really treat it carefully. But I love how small it is. Look how thin that is
2:54
It is 4.9 inches by 2.6 inches by 0.24 inches. So, it's less than a quarter inch thick, and the whole thing weighs four ounces
3:05
It would be a no-brainer to slip it into your pocket or your purse or your computer bag or your backpack
3:12
and just every so often double-check that it's fully charged by pushing that button
3:16
and seeing how many lights light up. And then, whenever you need emergency power, boom, you're ready to go
3:22
And that's about as easy as it gets. So, there's a lot to like about this
3:28
It is a ridiculously small size. It's amazing they got any battery in here at all
3:35
And I should also point out that in the box, let's see, it also comes with a charging cable
3:44
So, it is USB 3 on one end and that micro USB connection that you need to charge this on the other end
3:52
You can plug it into anything. You plug it into your computer and you'll be charging it away pretty darn fast
3:57
It won't take long at all to pull up its full power, and then it'll just sit until you need it
4:03
And that's exactly what you want from these sort of devices. So, only thing left to talk about is the price
4:09
Now, before we get to the price, let me ask and invite you to subscribe to my channel
4:14
I really appreciate when you subscribe to my channel and give me some feedback too
4:18
A comment, a thumbs up, whatever. Let me know how you found this video and if you found it useful
4:24
So, great. Now, this is the TNTOR Ultra Thin Portable 2500 mAh battery and power bank
4:35
Sorry. And it is ridiculously inexpensive. $18.99, minus 5% right now on Amazon.com
4:43
And for under $20, just get one and put it in your bag or put it in your purse or put it in your computer bag or something
4:51
And even in your desk and whenever you're at this crisis point and you need to charge and you don't want to sit by a power outlet for half an hour
4:59
here's your solution. Total no-brainer. This is going to live in my computer bag from now on and every so often I'll be at the point where I'm like
5:07
oh, how did I not pay attention? How am I at 4%
5:11
Plug this thing in and don't worry about it and I'll be back to 20% or 25% in no time
5:16
That's what these are all about. Great solution. Super thin. Check it out
5:21
That's all I got. I'll catch you in my next video
