back to USB power banks

Mophie PowerStation:




Back in 2018 my neighbor gave this to me after receiving it as a "free gift" for signing up for something and
having no use for it. This is what most battery banks looked like back then, just a couple flat lipo packs
in a slim enclosure, as a backup charge source for your cell phone. It's rated 6,040 mAh / 22.95 Wh.

I've since used it a few times, but I don't get much use out of it either. But I've been trying to keep it cycled
and healthy anyway along with my numerous other rechargeable accessories. The label says it's about 23Wh,
but when I last tested it I got about 26Wh out, which was a surprise. Usually a battery bank underperforms,
but not this one.

The Mophie brand looks like it has several different models available now, and I think it's likely that the
success of this first model got their brand off the ground. Walmart is selling a slightly upgraded version
that has a little more capacity and includes USB-C.
