I got one of these things at the WallyWorlds for 20 bucks a while back because, well, sometimes with these store brands you can get a pretty good product. But when I charged up a phone with it, I thought it used up a LOT more battery according to the percentage displayed on the battery (which is a feature I loved about it, just displays a number) so I decided to do a test on it.
I just ran a phone down to almost nothing, turned it off (because it being on can effect the charge with it doing things in the background) and charged it up to 100%.
Now, of course, this is a sample size of just one: me. With this one battery pack and it doesn't say anything for or against the other battery packs...
Maybe I got a kinda bad one, or the battery isn't as big as it says it is, or there may be a multitude of other things.
But when I charged the same phone on an Anker PowerCore 10,050 (older version with QuickCharge 2.0) the battery meter on the front read 7 out of 10 dots, which makes a bit more sense, and the phone wasn't even turned off.
Here's what I've got typed into notepad. Like I said, not the best in the world, but if anyone is considering getting one of these battery packs, it may be helpful information, and I'm sure there's some extra math to do to find out the approximate actual size of the pack I've got. I'm too lazy for that, though. lol
What I've got is good enough to tell me personally to stick with Anker for future battery pack purchases.
Battery test of the Blackweb 10,000mAh battery pack. Numbers are approximate.
Device: Motorola G4 Play
Battery size: 2,800mAh
Battery level at the start of the charge: 5% (140mAh... device is turned off)
Battery level at the start of the charge (Blackweb) 100%
Battery level of the Blackweb at the end of the charge to bring the phone to 100% again: 23%
= 7,840mAh to bring the 2800mAh battery to a full charge.
