The battery is suitable for charging phones, tablets, and notebooks; however, it should not be used during charging, as notebooks typically consume more than 65 watts, and any program load will simply stop the power supplied by the power bank. Charging takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes, and you will need to purchase a special type-c to type-c charger and cable. Make sure that both the cable and the power adapter support 67 watts, otherwise the charging will take 13-14 hours. The actual capacity is 44,000 milliamp hours. The charger gets very hot during fast charging, as does the power bank case during charging. I've been testing this power bank for almost a month and it was initially uncalibrated, requiring four full discharge and recharge cycles. Battery capacity is 44 thousand out of the declared 50, design, charging speed is 3 hours and 35 minutes when charging at 67 watts. Long charging time with the standard 33-watt charger, takes over 13 hours. The power bank heats up during fast charging, as does the charger itself. Not suitable for working with a laptop, only charges when the laptop is turned off. Not calibrated. The flashlight is very dim and useless.  Mister Petr: use Hoco DB81 Apollo less than month |
Also, sometimes it lags when I connect it to the laptop, taking a while to choose the charging protocol, but eventually, it does charge. You’ll still need a 65 W charger, plus a cable that charges quickly. But in general, it's handy - I connect it to the laptop and it uses about 10% an hour, which lasts for a workday.
Charges really fast with a GaN charger, and I checked with a USB tester, it delivers and receives all stated powers. A decent choice for a budget power bank for a laptop. Yes, it weighs a kilo like a brick, it would be more convenient if they’d included a strap for carrying.
