Advertising Hype?? You mean I can¡¯t really step up from 2600mAh cells at $1.87 to the 9900mAh cells for $2.08, only $.21 more!? Darn, I guess I really didn¡¯t want those wimpy cells anyway when I can buy a 5000000mAh power bank for $17.79!? and it has a built-in 2W solar cell for recharging!? That¡¯s about 1/3 of the power in a Tesla battery and it fits in a pocket!? I could power a home built electric car for about $50.? I could power my house during power outages!? The only problem is I can¡¯t find a USB-C cable rated for more than a couple of Amps.? I¡¯m sure if I look at enough listings I will find one.? I think the solar cell might be a typo, they probably meant 2000W, in not it might be little under powered to recharge it, a quick guess is about a year and a half to charge if you can get 24hr sunshine.? Time to look at eBay real estate for a house with 24 hr sunshine and their at their solar cells for a small 3000W cell I can mount on the little power banks so I can charge them in around 8 hours on the dashboard.? (And then he wakes up)? Why doesn¡¯t eBay have any fact checkers?? So much BS on their site. ? Sorry, I have been looking at options for converting some of my nice flashlights to rechargeable (and my G.C.s) and ran across those insane claims for the cells and the power banks.? I did buy a 10,000mAh power bank on clearance at Sams Club for $9.31 that included a 10W wireless charging pad.? I want to experiment with wireless charging sometime, I can order the magnetic loop antennas off of- oh yeah, here we go again... ? Clay ?

Update, Li cell 18650 on DigiKey, data sheet shows the one they sell as 2600mAh or 2.6A/h Other sources claim far more but one wonders it that's advertising hype. |
