I ordered a power bank to use with my Nexus 4/7 when out and about on friday. Then i seen one of those usb v/v passthrough things on saturday and thought it would be good to use when close to the PC.

I bought these bits.

Hopefully it all works together when it arrives.

It should do, the power pack has a 2A output.


Have you thought of one of these? www.china-sells.com/item.php?id=2208 it will give it more of a MVP look, problem is there is a $20 minimum spend on this site, if anyone else wants to try one I'd go in with them to make up a minimum order.

It was mentioned setting one of these up on a bracket in the car, please don't leave batteries in your car
to heat up in the sun, especially something with this much power - if it goes thermal with so much energy
to dissipate it will be quite spectacular. The bigger the battery the more damage they can do.

Charged up the USB Power Bank overnight so started to vape on this today, not going to vape on anything else until the Power Bank runs out of juice, so we have 6 18650 batteries (2900mah each) in the power bank. Batteries are reading 4.18V at the start  The atty is a 1.4 ohm dual coiled IGO L.

Hi robby.

Are you doing this test 24 / 7, or only when you are awake .

We with empty wallets would prefer that you devote 24 hours a day on this test, thus keeping you away from

`Chinese` suppliers, and posting `great deals`, on our forum.

Update
Day 1. 4.18V
Day 2. 4.08V......4.05V loaded

If you are thinking about going this route, these have just been listed at Fasttech and SHOULD work fine.
Not multi voltage though.

Update............ battery readings taken straight across the six 18650s in parallel
Day 1. 4.18V .....4.14V loaded
Day 2. 4.08V......4.05V loaded
Day 3. 4.03V......4.00V loaded (thought it would be less, possibly because I had to put a new battery in the multimeter?)
