in front of me I have one of the world's most powerful power banks with a full fledge USBC charger that can charge up a laptop I've never torn down a power bank on camera before I figured this Inger power bank would be a good place to start I'm curious to see what this thing looks like on the inside Anker sent me this twenty six thousand eight hundred milliamp power base at ninety six watt hours it is fairly sneaks under the legal 100 watt hour maximum capacity for traveling on airplanes but what makes this particular power bank special is the way the power bank charges inside the box are two cables a normal microUSB charger and the more important USB C chargers all phone manufacturers are slowly over the past few years switching over to the USB C style port for multiple reasons one of the main reasons is because it allows for stronger power delivery USB C effectively charges your larger electronics like laptops or Nintendo switch gaming systems much faster than typical USB ports could do a standard USB port would never have the guts to charge an entire laptop but USB C does one of the few ports on Apple's new MacBook Pro is the USB C so this power bank with its USB C power delivery system can charge the macbook pro in just under three hours a Nintendo switch can charge in about two and a half hours which is pretty much the same as the Nintendo dock itself and this one is portable and even better the whole power bank has that premium feel of metal that we all know and love one big deal breaker for me in the past was if a power bank could not charge more than one device at a time there are three ports on this thing so let's see if they can all be utilized at once power banks that can only charge one thing at a time are pretty annoying so right now I have my clear back to Galaxy S a charging from that USB C slot getting that full power delivery system that we talked about earlier I have my clear LG g6 getting charged from one of the normal USB slots so it is charging normally just without that power delivery system and for the third object I have a pair of Beats headphones plugged into that second normal USB port and all three objects are charging at the exact same time so that's pretty efficient and productive if you're sitting at an airport with a bunch of dead electronics and not enough outlets to go around remember though for large electronics like the Nintendo switch or laptops that charge with USB C you have to use the actual USB C port on the power bank because that's the only form capable of that P D or power to every system required to charge those things so keep in mind that there is literally no reason for anyone to ever take apart a power bank there's nothing really to repair inside but I've never opened one on my channel before and my curiosity usually wins when it comes to tearing down technology it was pretty difficult popping off the end caps the adhesive is pretty strong there are four normal Phillips head screws under each of those in caps holding the guts in place same thing on the other side and finally we can slide the chassis full of purple batteries out of the frame it's kind of fun fun something that most people never get to see the interesting part is that these lithium-ion cylinder batteries are the same style of batteries that we've seen an electronic bikes and electronic skateboards and even in Tesla cars it's just a ton of these cylinder batteries all wired up together and here we didn't see those internal rails that the energy slide along I think that a clear power bank housing would be pretty awesome but that might just be me I got the button back in place and I slid the batteries back inside of the metal housing screwed in all of the Phillips head screws and then got the plastic face plates over the top of the port's having a power bank that can charge multiple things at once including laptops and then gendell switch is very convenient plus with that twenty six thousand eight hundred milliamp hour battery I can get around six or seven charges to my Galaxy s8 before needing to find a real outlet I'll leave a link in the video description for this power bank if you want to check out the current pricing or get one of your own what other electronics would you like to see me tear down on my channel let me know down in the comments thanks ton for watching I'll see you around
