How to solve the charging problem for large outdoor electricity users? One Energy Cube Pro is enough

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-03-08

Look, this is the biggest power bank I've ever used! Of course, it has to be defined that the power bank here refers to a portable mobile power supply that does not support 220V power supply. The battery capacity of this mobile speed PD100W power bank in hand is 70000 mAh, and the maximum charging power is 100 watts, but the volume is not large, and the longest side is about the same as a mobile phone.

I actually have a lot of power banks at home, why do you get this mobile speed PD100W power bank? In addition to the 70,000 mAh capacity, the key is the 100W charging speed, which can provide enough charging power for my RC car battery (generally a 3S lithium battery, the charger needs more than 60W of power), Nikon camera, and DJI drone battery (Air2S, the charger needs more than 40W of power). We also know that the power of the general power bank is also watts. In this way, I go outdoors to play, and I can charge all the devices in my hands with such a power bank. Now the large-capacity power bank on the market is basically 22With a power of 5W, the self-charging speed is not so high, and the high-power power bank basically only has a capacity of 20000mAh, which is also high. And this energy cube pro is just compatible with my two requirements for large capacity and high power, so let's experience how it is.

It only takes three days from the order to the receipt of the package, and the delivery is still very fast. So I opened the box with great anticipation, and the box was heavy, a rather large box. In other words, this packaging is quite exquisite, with several layers inside and outside, and it can be seen that the manufacturer's packaging design is still very attentive, and there is a feeling of unboxing moon cakes: d. It really reminds me of a large moon cake with several egg yolks brought back by my grandfather when I was a child, which was considered a luxury food in those days.

The size of this speed PD100W power bank is 16 in length, width and thickness3*11.5*4.4 cm, the length feels the same as the iPhone 15 ProMax (15.).98 cm) almost the same. Of course, the thickness and width are a little larger. The weight is 13kg, to be honest, there is still a certain weight in the hand, but it is not very heavy, and there is a rope design on the right, there is no big problem with daily carrying, of course, if you want to put it in your pocket, it is still very challenging, unless you wear a pair of cargo pants, put it in a bag or suitcase, it is no problem at all, and it is very easy to store. As for wanting to take it on a plane? Don't think about the capacity of 70,000. Eh, I don't think there is a storage bag? I'll find one myself.

Do you like the appearance of the power bank? Personally, I am quite satisfied with the exterior design, including the black and green main style, which is very dynamic. These patterns and shapes on the front are actually decorations, including transparent acrylic sheets, patterns and printed fonts are mood pieces. But it can also be seen that the product manager is still working overtime :d

On the left side is a translucent white panel, smart friends must have guessed, it is a huge area of LED light board, how to use it later. The highlight is actually at the top of the power bank, the top is a display, click the power button below, and the current battery balance is displayed in the upper part of the display. There is no need to introduce the next few interfaces, which are two Type C ports and two USB-A ports. Among them, the maximum output power of the first C port can reach 100 watts, and the maximum input power is the power that can be charged to the power bank itself.

For power banks, what performance are you most concerned about? Personally, of course, it's the charging speed. Therefore, a professional charging power meter comes to measure a wave. However, I found that this measuring instrument is a bit redundant, and the small screen of the mobile speed PD100W power bank itself can also display the current and voltage values, and the charging power can be calculated accordingly. This function is still very user-friendly, and can monitor the current discharge situation in real time (discharge display OUT, self-charge display in).

The weather in Shanghai has been really annoying lately, cold and wet, rainy and rainy, and basically every time it rains when commuting to work, which really delays the interest of playing with cars and drones :D. Finally, one sunny day, I went out for a ride in the car. In fact, everyone who plays RC knows that outdoor charging is very necessary, and you must prepare the power bank and charger. I usually use a 3S battery, and I also need more than 60 watts of power for fast charging, and this power bank is on top. After testing, the current of 6A, the maximum power of 3S balance charging can reach about 65 watts, and the charging speed is still extremely fast! Basically, while playing with one battery, you can also fully charge the other battery, and the car can really be played.

Come, let's take a beautiful photo of the car Losi Hammer Rey that I have been playing with recently.

When camping, the power bank is really just needed, the weather is generally good, in spring and autumn I will pull the camper, full of things to the park for a whole day, very comfortable. Then, charging is a problem, and the power of the mobile phone is not too worried, after all, the current battery life is relatively long, mainly because the capacity of drones or toy cars is lagging behind.

The speed of the PD100W power bank has 2A+2C four charging interfaces, if you need to charge at the same time, the charging cable must be sufficient. If the 4 ports are charged at the same time, the C1 power supply will be guaranteed first, the maximum output power is 65 watts, and the total power of the other 3 ports is 15 watts (there is going to be a quarrel, why?!). If there is only C1+C2, it is 65+35 watts, which seems to be the optimal solution for the C-mount line. In the case of A-mount charging cables, both A1 and A2 are up to 25 watts. Of course, the charging protocol is compatible with QC SCP FCP AFC and so on.

Camera,In fact, the general battery life is relatively long,Like my Nikon Z6A battery can also shoot two or three hundred shots**,Normally, two batteries a day are enough,At present, there is no need for outdoor charging,Unless the distance is a little longer than a self-driving trip,At that time, the significance of the existence of this large-capacity power bank will be more prominent。

As for drones, I think it is very necessary to charge them outdoors!! After all, the battery life of the drone battery is relatively short, generally about half an hour. The DJI drone in my hand is a Changfei version with 3 batteries, which is actually basically enough, but if you want to really enjoy it, you still have to have a longer battery life. So I usually charge another empty battery at the same time when I fly (one battery consumes about 15% of the power of the power bank). Like a recent weekend in the park, 3 batteries plus power banks, a total of 5 sets of electricity flight, if the weather is too cold I can continue to fly. The mobile speed PD100W power bank is simply a large blood pack for drones!

In fact, the power bank can also be used in outdoor office. Laptop charging is not in my test plan, but I often have a scene of going out to work, so I specially tested the laptop at home. My MacBook Pro 65W charging power can be fully charged, if you have ** or other notebooks, such as 85W or 100W power, it is estimated that it can be satisfied.

Double-click the POWER button to open the LED light board on the side of the power bank. I was curious, and counted the LED lamp beads with the bright light, a total of 24 in three rows and eight rows. The light is white, and the color temperature is a bit on the cold side. Then click the switch to switch the brightness of the LED light, there are three gears, although there is no professional photometer, but it is obvious that the brightness of this LED light board is very high, even in the smallest gear, the naked eye does not dare to look directly at the LED light panel. When I counted the lamp beads in the front, I still used a few paper towels to cover them and count them. After reaching the minimum gear, press the on/off button again, and then switch to flash mode, which is also considered to be the rescue SOS mode, the light flashes quickly, and it must be very useful in some emergency moments that do not want to come, and we have seen some tragic fire tragedies recently, emergency safety awareness and preparation should still be.

As for the speed of self-charging, of course, it is also important. After all, 70,000 mAh can't be too slow to charge for a long time. Last night, when I charged this mobile speed PD100W power bank, with a 100W charging head, the C1 charging power can reach more than 60 watts, which is about the same as the official announcement of 65 watts. In fact, the C2 port can also be self-charged, but the power is slightly lower at 45W.

Oh, I still like this wiring that I sent, a bit of cyberpunk style, C2C interface, the plug position is completely transparent, and components such as chips and capacitors are clearly visible to the naked eye. Isn't this the charging cable of the Explorer Edition? And the workmanship is also good, textile material, and it also comes with a Velcro storage strip, which is really a cup to wear a vest: praise!

Not to mention the advantages, I said enough features earlier, which can be regarded as advantages, in a word: 70,000 capacity of 100 watts, outdoor charging all depends on it. The disadvantage is that it is indeed small and heavy, so it is not suitable for daily commuting, and it cannot be brought on the plane. Overall, this Energy Cube Pro is more suitable for the electricity needs of student dormitories (with laptop charging), self-driving travel, cycling, fishing and other activities, and it is even more beneficial for solo photographers (multi-device charging).

Thank you for reading and have a great day!
