USB A Output

  • 1S22 Mini
    11.13 W

    (port 1), 11.25 W (port 2); 11 W total across both ports simultaneously (6.11 W + 4.91 W)

  • 2Miady
    12.61 W
  • 3LOVELEDI
    13.29 W

    (left port, best yet at the time), 13.43 W total across both ports simultaneously

  • 4IXNINE
    6.76 W

    + 8.49 W = just over 15 W total (best yet at the time)

  • 5KEOLL
    10.65 W

    + 9.93 W = just over 20 W total (best yet at the time); separately, single-port max cited later as 'just over 18 W', the highest single-port figure in the closing recap

  • 6INIU B61
    approximately15.36 W

    (the transcript also attaches a second, unclear '18 watts' figure in the same sentence; recorded both since it is unclear which is the precise reading)

  • 7INIU B41
    15.84 W
  • 8CFIAI
    17.72 W
  • 9iWalk
    just over14 W
  • 10FEOB
    11.69 W

    (did not perform quite as well as iWalk)

  • 11Baseus
    17.23 W

    (transcript reads '177.23 watts', almost certainly a garbled/duplicated digit; recorded as the corrected value with the discrepancy flagged)

  • 12Anker Slim
    12.7 W

    before a voltage drop and power-down (only its USB-A port charges devices; the other two ports are for charging the bank itself)

  • 13Durecopow
    7.2 W

    + 6.05 W = just over 13 W total (quite a bit less than many other brands)

  • 14Erkrist
    6.18 W

    + 5.14 W = just over 11 W total

  • 15MREGB
    13.89 W

    single-port; 7.02 W + 7.16 W = about 14.18 W total (described as quite a bit less than some other brands despite its large claimed capacity)

  • 16RGVOTA
    approximately6 W

    + 6 W = about 12 W total across 2 of its 4 ports

  • 17GOODaaa
    17.83 W

    single-port (transcript reads '1783 watts', almost certainly a dropped decimal point, corrected here); 6.67 W + 10.73 W = almost 18 W total across two ports

  • 18Anker 737

Capacity

  • 1S22 Mini

    rated 18.5 Wh, delivered 14.31 Wh (about 77%, derived from the two stated figures)

  • 2Miady

    rated 18.5 Wh, delivered 14.29 Wh (about 77%, derived)

  • 3LOVELEDI

    rated 55.5 Wh, delivered 22.5 Wh (41%, explicitly stated)

  • 4IXNINE

    rated 99.2 Wh, delivered 54.8 Wh (55%, explicitly stated)

  • 5KEOLL

    rated 95.5 Wh (derived from the stated 26.5 Wh / 28% pairing), delivered 26.5 Wh (28% of rating, explicitly stated, called out as a struggle)

  • 6INIU B61

    rated 37 Wh, delivered 32.7 Wh (89% of rating, explicitly stated as the best capacity-utilization result of all 18 brands)

  • 7INIU B41

    rated 37 Wh, delivered 29.92 Wh (81% of rating, in an explicit pairing against Anker Slim)

  • 8CFIAI

    rated 55.5 Wh, delivered 27.75 Wh (50%, explicitly stated)

  • 9iWalk

    delivered 22.9 Wh (69% of rating, rating not separately stated but consistent with its 9,000 mAh spec)

  • 10FEOB

    rated 18.5 Wh, delivered 10.96 Wh (about 59%, derived; described as 'missing its rating by quite a bit')

  • 11Baseus

    rated 37 Wh, delivered approximately 30.46 Wh (transcript reads '3.46 hours', almost certainly a dropped leading digit on a Wh figure; 30.46/37 = 82%, matching the explicitly stated '82% of its rating, finished in second place')

  • 12Anker Slim

    rated 37 Wh, delivered 26.05 Wh (70%, explicitly stated)

  • 13Durecopow

    rated 74 Wh (derived), delivered 21.33 Wh (about 29%, derived)

  • 14Erkrist

    rated 95.5 Wh, delivered 50.76 Wh (53%, explicitly stated)

  • 15MREGB

    rated 158.4 Wh; delivered figure is internally inconsistent in the transcript, stated once as 52.11 and once as 50.5, against a stated 38% of rating (neither raw figure divided by 158.4 cleanly produces 38%); recorded as a flagged discrepancy rather than resolved to one number

  • 16RGVOTA

    rated 143.6 Wh (stated as the highest nominal rating of all 18 brands), delivered 65.4 Wh (2nd highest raw Wh delivered of all 18 per the closing capacity recap; about 46% of its rating, derived)

  • 18Anker 737

    delivered 68.7 Wh, the highest raw Wh delivered of all 18 brands per the closing capacity recap

  • 17GOODaaa
    not tested

USB C Output

  • 1S22 Mini
    6.86 W

    charging a Samsung S20+, 7.3 W charging a Chromebook (both described as very slow)

  • 4IXNINE
    14.87 W

    described as more than twice the S22 Mini's USB-C wattage

  • 5KEOLL
    20.15 W

    by far the best yet at the time; also cited in the closing recap as the highest combined 2-port total of any brand at just over 20 W

  • 6INIU B61
    just over20 W

    about the same as KEOLL

  • 8CFIAI
    approximately16.4 W

    just over20 W

    matching its advertised 20 W rating

  • 14Erkrist
    just over13 W

    93.6 W

    with a single USB-C device connected to a computer; 130 W total with two USB-C computers connected; just over 131 W total with two computers and a phone connected (close to its 140 W rating and by far the highest USB-C charging speed of all 18 brands)

  • maximum single-port and dual-port simultaneous USB-A output wattage
  • maximum USB-C output wattage (device charging where applicable)
  • total watt-hour capacity delivered from a full charge versus each unit's rated capacity
  • time and wattage rate to fully recharge a drained power bank
  • physical size and weight measurements
  • minutes required to bank one watt-hour of energy during recharging (efficiency metric)
Data notes and caveats

18 total products tested, matching the description's full list. This is a per-use-case, multi-pick verdict rather than a single winner: INIU B61 is the narrator's explicit personal favorite/top value pick, Baseus is named as also earning A's in every category (slightly less capacity than the INIU B61), and Anker 737 is named as the best choice 'if power bank size and money isn't the factor' (its $92 price is far above the rest of the field). The closing verdict also contains one all-A-grade brand introduced by a garbled name ('andil'/'andol') described as 'a great battery bank for under $20,' distinct from the separately-named INIU B61 and Baseus that follow it in the same paragraph; this could not be confidently resolved to any specific brand in the description's 18-brand list (the phonetically closest match, KEOLL, is ruled out because KEOLL's own capacity result was explicitly called a struggle at only 28% of rating, contradicting an all-A grade) and is left unassigned rather than guessed. Two brands (KEOLL, Durecopow) are missing their entire price/product-introduction paragraphs from the transcript, a real gap rather than a caption garble. One brand (MREGB) has an internally inconsistent capacity reading (two different Wh figures given, neither matching the stated 38%). GOODaaa's own delivered capacity figure is never stated in the transcript despite being paired against MREGB in that test. Given the volume of derived/flagged/missing data points relative to a typical video in this corpus, confidence is set to low on data-quality grounds even though the overall brand identities and most individual test results are well-supported.
