Verdict:
To make it clear: None of the products were totally bad or totally good, however some products have a very poor efficiency compared to their price/size.
Interesting to see that a 16 CHF product from Wish made the first place in this test. The caveat with this product however is that if it breaks then refunding/warranty claim may become a challenge.
So you might want to check first if you’re good to go with this product or if you want to have the safety of warranty in case the battery pack ceases function!
The XTorm AL380 was disappointing as the capacity put in was missed by far. It is the battery pack with the worst efficiency in this test and thus cannot get a big recommendation from us although the product still ranked “average”.
In the end it’s up to all of you who wants to spend what amount on what product and what your preferences are. Some products have an excellent capacity/efficiecy factor.
So maybe this table has given you a good overview on what to choose and what not.
But dash it all… all these products have their right to exists at any point and luckily all these products are safe to use.
None of the products have shown any sign of blowup (LiPo batteries do that) or did explode and/r start burning (LiIon batteries tend to do that so a very good security measurement at voltage/charge monitoring is necessary to maintain the 18650 cells inside!).
Usually LiIon-batteries are way more expensive as they need a more complex security measurement when they get charged or discarged and/or short-circuited!
We haven’t however tested short-circuitry proof of the products as we don’t want to break them or start a fire in our home. But generally it’s no wise idea to short-circuit any battery no matter if it is a small battery or a big battery pack!
So how did you like that review?
