Hey, what's up? Sami Here.
I'm Cymye.
Today Cymye and I are invited by this cool company called SUNSMINE
and they are really eager to show us their newest cool product - the PowerBen power bank!
It's not just any power bank.
It works on nearly everything you can think of. ANYTHING!
Like this chainsaw.
And this. I don't even know what's it called.
The mixer
And this.
And that.
Why not try it out? Let's go
Are you ready Cymye?
Maybe, hahahaaaa
So first things first, let’s take a close look of the PowerBen power bank.
On the front, it has a 0.96 inch OLED LCD Display.
Under that there are three buttons, left, action, and right.
You can enter the menu by long holding the action button.
Press left or right to move through the options, and long press the action button to confirm.
Beyond that, of course, it has many ports.
The PowerBen has 2 USB-C ports for input/output, 2 USB-A ports for output, and 2 ports named
"MagicDC" and "SmartDC".
If you want specific parameters for each port, you can check out that at the back.
Here I’m not going to illustrate one by one.
What really astonishes me is for the “MagicDC" and "SmartDC" they support a max 200w MPPT
solar panel input, which means you can recharge this by just using the solar input and it
takes only 40 minutes under bright sunlight.
Perfect for hardcore outdoor explorers!
The outer shell of the PowerBen is made of fireproof materials and Aluminum Alloy.
Feels compact and portable.
Specs-wise, the PowerBen Pro is a 40,200mAh portable power source.
It also comes with a lite variant called PowerBen Lite, which comes with a 24,000mAh battery pack.
If you think this is a huge capacity, there is more.
According to PowerBen’s crowdfunding page, All orders before May 9th, (that means there
are only 3 days left), as long as you order the PowerBen Pro, it will be upgraded to the
Plus version for free.
Whilst the Plus version has a whopping 48,000mah capacity!
To be honest, that’s the biggest I’ve ever seen for a consumer power bank!
But yeah, only when it reaches to the 100,000 USD campaign goal, so, definitely back this
project if you are interested, link is in the description.
And you know the early birds always get the best affordable price!
However, before backing this project you may still have a question: what on earth can this
PowerBen do which other normal power banks can’t?
Well, my friend, I hear you out and loud.
Here Cymye and I are about to show you the magic.
You can run a 48V DC chainsaw by directly using the PowerBen.
That was fast!
A 50W LED floodlight?
No problem!
Whoops, that’s really bright!
A 135W mini egg-frying pan?
Not a thing, now you can add yourself an egg if you don’t like the food outside.
How about something even crazier like this 320W DIY'd four-wheel robot from nowhere,
probably from Boston Dynamics?
I've got to say, it works quite amazingly!
Because the MagicDC output (5 ~ 25.5V, up to 5A) can be fully adjustable, you can always
choose the right voltage for your project, isn’t that cool?
You can even use two PowerBen power banks as a power source for your scooter.
The original battery weighs around 7kg, while two PowerBen batteries weigh 1.74kg.
For sure, you get less mileage compared to the original scooter battery but you have
to know in some areas you are not allowed to take your scooter inside the building for recharging,
but with the removable and very portable PowerBen battery you can safely charge
it anywhere you want.
Not only that.
The PowerBen is working on alternating current as well.
Those items I just said they all run on direct current, here if with the AC Inverter, it
even works for those appliances that only working on AC.
Like this 250w mixer.
Like your drone batteries.
Like Switch, perfect for someone who wants to play games while the electricity is cut off,
or for those who still want to work on a laptop after a power failure.
But for laptops you don’t even need an AC inverter, because PowerBen comes with a wide
variety of laptop adapters and you can choose the one that you need and power your laptop
through their SmartDC port.
If you think this is jaw-dropping, here is one more thing - I think the game-changing
design from the PowerBen power banks – is its amazing modular capabilities.
Since PowerBen offers various AC inverters, you can achieve a regular power station by
pairing together multiple units of the device to match with the inverter capacity.
Let’s take this microwave for example, you pair six units of PowerBens, you can achieve
1500W capacity and use the 1500W AC inverter to power it through.
That’s amazing.
Just imagine for all of your household appliances you just use the PowerBen power banks!
And remember I said before the PowerBen supports solar panel input recharging?
You can literally eliminate all expensive electric bills in no time!
I know this may sound unrealistic for you and you probably won’t take into consideration
as you live in big cities, but this kind of feature comes in handy when in an emergency
for people who run into natural disasters like hurricanes or earthquakes.
With PowerBen it buys you more time and more hope!
And lastly, in case you didn't know, but I think also equally important is its versatile
recharging capabilities.
You can charge through a car socket, wall outlet, PD port and solar panel.
With its world’s first PD 200W input, you can recharge the PowerBen in 20 minutes from
zero to 96%. (For PowerBen Lite 24,000mAh)
If with a normal wall socket then about 80 minutes.
I couldn't even believe it if I hadn’t tested it myself because all my other power banks
all need at least 5 or 6 hours.
This could save me lots of time as sometimes I just want to grab the power bank and go
but it turns out the power bank doesn’t have power.
That’s frustrating.
But with the PowerBen, everything is just sorted out easily!
That's our first impression of the PowerBen.
I personally really like it. It's portable, it's versatile, and it's powerful!
So Cymye, what do you think of it?
I like the fact that they have 3 years of warranty
and I also like the fact that you can save money using the PowerBen with the solar panel!
Yes, exactly! I think maybe everyone should get one of these, just for an emergency?
