that the model number is PB205.

play00:31

Check the weight.

play00:46

Check the charge. The power

play00:47

has dropped to 0.1 watt.

play00:49

Make sure charging is over.

play00:55

The maximum temperature on the surface of the power bank is now 18°C.

play00:59

The current temperature is 13°C.

play01:04

Set the discharge current to 1 A.

play01:12

Set the discharge voltage to 20 volts.

play01:15

Start discharging

play01:18

. Re-record the discharge power of 20 watts.

play01:25

It

play01:25

has been discharging for about 2 hours and 20 minutes.

play01:28

At room temperature , the remaining power

play01:32

is 13.9°C and 32%

play01:41

. The maximum temperature of the power bank is 22°C.

play01:44

The heat dissipation is still good.

play01:51

It took 3 hours, 51 minutes and 9 seconds

play01:59

to discharge the power bank completely to 0%

play02:04

. The nominal energy of the 74Wh energy

play02:09

power bank is 90Wh,

play02:12

including the conversion efficiency of 80%.

play02:14

In theory, it can release 72Wh of energy.

play02:18

In fact, we released 74Wh of energy

play02:20

, which exceeded expectations.

play02:26

We now start charging it and

play02:30

re-recording it.

play02:34

Now it is charged to 83%.

play02:37

The power started to drop.

play02:39

The weather was too cold

play02:40

. I turned on the heater.

play02:41

The current room temperature of the power bank is 14.9℃.

play02:48

The maximum temperature of the power bank is now 30℃

play02:53

. The charging current has basically reduced to zero.

play02:56

The battery has been charged to 100%.

play03:00

It took a total of 1 hour and 44 minutes

play03:04

to charge the energy. 96Wh

play03:08

is 6Wh more charged than the nominal 90Wh.

play03:12

The extra 6Wh

play03:14

is the conversion loss of the switching power supply inside.

play03:17

Before charging to 80%,

play03:19

the charging power is maintained at 62 watts to 63 watts

play03:24

and then gradually decreases.

play03:28

Judging from the charging and discharging results,

play03:29

Greenlian This 145-watt power bank

play03:32

can still reach a capacity of 90Wh in winter.

play03:40

Now test the A port.

play06:07

The overload current is 3.4 amps and

play06:14

20 volts. The full load voltage is 19.96.

play06:18

The ripple is 180 millivolts.

play06:22

The overload current is 3.6 amps.

play06:27

The limit power of the C2 port is also 65 watts.

play06:31

Finally, let’s measure the C1 port.

play06:35

These are the protocols supported by the C1 port.

play06:37

It can support up to PD3.1 140 watts of power.

play06:42

The voltage at 5 volts full load is 5.022 volts.

play06:48

The ripple is 60 millivolts.

play06:50

The overload current is 3.5 amps. The

play06:58

full load voltage at 9 volts is 9.013.

play07:02

The ripple is 90 millivolts.

play07:04

The overload current

play07:12

is 3.5 amps. The full load voltage at 12 volts is 12.005.

play07:17

The ripple is close to 100 millivolts.

play07:20

The overload current is 3.5 amps.

play07:28

The full load voltage of 15 volts is 14.995.

play07:32

The ripple is 70 mV.

play07:35

The overload current is 3.5 amps. The

play07:40

full load voltage of 20 volts is 19.90.

play07:44

The ripple is 220 mV.

play07:47

The overload current is 5.7 amps.

play07:52

The last

play07:57

full load voltage is 28 volts. The ripple is 27.82

play08:01

, which is a bit not good.

play08:03

The overload current is 520

play08:06

millivolts. Surprisingly

play08:11

not surprising, not surprising.

play08:12

The

play08:13

maximum discharge power of this power bank

play08:15

reaches 157.86 watts

play08:21

. I only have two electronic loads in my hand

play08:24

, so I can’t directly test the three-port charging.

play08:26

But I noticed that

play08:27

when the C2 port and A port of the dual-port charging

play08:30

are working at the same time,

play08:32

they only have 20 watts.

play08:33

That means

play08:34

these two ports should be the same set of discharge channels.

play08:39

Now

play08:39

I first test the simultaneous discharge limit power of C2 port and A port.

play08:44

I found that One phenomenon

play08:45

is that when port C2 works alone, it can output 20 volts,

play08:51

but when port A is plugged in,

play08:54

it becomes 5 volts.

play08:57

We give a load of 2 amps to port A. Port

play09:00

C2 also gives a load of 2 amps

play09:03

. Now port C2 and A Ports are all 10 watts of power.

play09:08

Let’s increase it a bit and take a look.

play09:12

We increased port C2 to 11 watts and

play09:15

port A to 11 watts.

play09:20

Now port C2 is 11 watts

play09:23

and port A is 11 watts.

play09:25

It can work normally

play09:27

and still has 10% overload capacity.

play09:30

Now

play09:31

test it. The extreme power of port C1 and port A working at the same time

play09:35

now overloads port A to 23 watts.

play09:38

Port C1 can only output 20 volts and 3.5 amps.

play09:43

If I increase the current a little more ,

play09:46

there will be a current limit

play09:52

even if I reduce the current of port A. Even though

play09:56

the current of port C1 is only 2 amps, it cannot exceed 3.5 amps.

play10:01

Unfortunately,

play10:02

this dual-port mode

play10:03

can only output a maximum of 69 watts plus 22.5 watts.

play10:08

Now we measure the limit power output by ports C1 and C2 at the same time.

play10:12

Port C2 directly adds 2.5 amps of current

play10:16

C1. Add 5.5 amps of current

play10:20

to the port

play10:22

to start the C1 port

play10:23

. The current cannot exceed 3.5 amps as before.

play10:29

I want to try

play10:32

how much power the C2 port can output

play10:36

when the C1 port outputs 69 watts. Now I can confirm that the C2 port outputs 20 volts and 3.5 amps.

play10:41

The output port can output 20 volts and 2.68 amps.

play10:48

We now draw a conclusion.

play10:50

When the three output ports work independently,

play10:53

the maximum output power

play10:54

can reach 110% of the maximum power.

play11:01

However, when multiple ports are used for output,

play11:03

the C1 port can only reach a maximum of 20 volts and 3.5 amps

play11:07

, that is, In this mode,

play11:11

the power of port A can reach 23 watts

play11:19

. In this mode, the output of port C2 surprised me.

play11:22

It can reach 20 volts and 2.68 amps

play11:24

, which is 53.6 watts.

play11:29

In general,

play11:30

the parameters of this 145-watt power bank from Greenlink

play11:32

There are surprises and regrets.

play11:36

The output power is surprising

play11:37

when the single port is working.

play11:40

Although

play11:41

the output power of the C1 port does not reach the rated value

play11:44

when the multi-port is working , the output power of the C2 port exceeds the rated value

play11:49
