under the heat lamp load, notably higher than most other brands' roughly 110 to 112 V; watt meter closely matched the reference meter; reached full drill RPM the fastest of all brands on the first attempt, in about half a second, but the dashboard showed an overload warning on a second attempt; using the drill's adjustable trigger for a soft start worked fine

under the heat lamp load; watt meter was off by about 10 W, the largest discrepancy of any brand tested; drill reached full RPM in about half a second, tied with the Bluetti for fastest

at around 223 W under the heat lamp; drill reached full speed in only 1 second; built-in watt meter accurate within 1 W of the reference tester

and 110.5 V under the heat lamp, about the same as the Bailibatt, with roughly a 6 W discrepancy between meter and tester; best drill result recorded up to that point in the video at 0.7 seconds to reach full RPM

about 1.5 V higher than the Bailibatt; watt meter (mounted upside down) measured 2 W different than the reference tester; the drill test FAILED, the unit powered itself down when the drill was activated ('said no way and it powered itself down')

skipped entirely; the unit has no AC outlet to test

FAILED the heat lamp test; rated for 300 W but could not power the 225 W heat lamp; also FAILED the drill test, powering itself down when the drill was activated quickly even using the drill's variable speed trigger for a soft start attempt

outlet meter close to the multimeter reading at 112.7 V; 225 W and around 110.5 V under the heat lamp; drill test passed with a built-in soft start, about 2.5 seconds to reach full speed

performing as well as the Anker; 14.48 W at 5 V, 27.1 W at 9 V, 36.61 W at 12 V, 94.56 W at 20 V, described as almost as good as the Anker

charging the power bank; transcript states it 'is not cooperating with the analyzer for the 9, 12, and 20 volt settings,' so those readings are incomplete and omitted rather than guessed

right on target at 60 W at 20 V for its 60 W rating; 13.57 W at 5 V, 26.89 W at 9 V, 33.26 W at 12 V, 60.5 W at 20 V, the best result recorded up to that point in the video

charging the power bank, about half the rate of the Grecell and Allwei; 14.9 W at 5 V, 27.8 W at 9 V, 37.73 W at 12 V, 64.55 W at 20 V, the best result recorded up to that point in the video

rated 60 W but came up short at 56 W; 13.63 W at 5 V, just over 24 W at 9 V, just over 34 W at 12 V, almost 60 W at 20 V, about the same performance as the Grecell

by far the best result of all brands at 92 W charging the power bank, consistent across all of its USB-C ports; charging three devices simultaneously delivered 86 W, 95 W, and 32 W for a combined 213 W; single-port voltage sweep: almost 14 W at 5 V, just over 24 W at 9 V, 38.1 W at 12 V, 97.3 W at 20 V, the best result recorded up to that point in the video

not applicable; this unit has no USB-C port

at 12 V; powered itself down after reaching 14.7 W at 5 V; powered itself down at 27.1 W at 9 V; powered itself down again at 28.1 W at 12 V (a second, different 12V reading than the first); not able to charge at all at 20 V; the weakest USB-C performance of any brand tested

overload protection triggered at 614 W against a 600 W rating

never powered itself down, but experienced a large voltage drop above 600 W; cited in the summary alongside the Bluetti as offering a maximum output of 620 W (versus the Bluetti's 614 W)

against a 330 W rating, described as the extra weight not helping

against a 330 W rating, described as the least amount of all the brands tested

against a 300 W rating, described as holding steady just over 300 W for a while before shutting down, a solid overperformance

not tested; no AC outlet

overload protection triggered at 346 W against a 300 W rating, after holding up well at 300 W for a while

exceeding its stated rating (rating not explicitly restated at this point, but the intro states all units are rated for at least 300 W)

against a 268 Wh peak capacity claim, described as running out of juice earlier than most of the other brands

third place overall behind the Jackery and Grecell

against a 288 Wh claim, second place overall behind the Jackery

second place behind the Grecell; no specific watt-hour rating claim for the EBL was stated earlier in the transcript to compare against

against a 280 Wh claim

against a 288 Wh claim, described as coming up short

against a 280 Wh claim, described as coming up way short

against a 257 Wh claim, described as coming up way short, the worst capacity retention of the 9 brands tested

by far the best of all brands

second place behind the Bluetti

(peak)

described as the best yet at that point in the video

not tested; the host did not have the correct adapter for the Anker

confirmed to charge, but the unit's display did not show a charging speed reading, so no numeric figure is available

almost as fast as the Jackery

just below 86 W, close to the Jackery's result

about the same as the Grecell

described as by far the best job yet at that point in the video

not tested; the Anker does not offer a 12V charging port

described as going to take a really long time to charge

only around 25 W, described as a very slow pace

has an internal power supply and charged at 269 W, described as very impressive; while powering lights under load it drew 635 W in and delivered 362 W out, confirming it can charge while powering a heavy load

the fastest wall-charging speed recorded; can be charged while in use

does not allow the device to be used while charging

about 10 W slower than the Allwei; does not allow pass-through charging while in use

can charge the device while it is also being charged

using two 140 W charging blocks, by far the best result of all brands at 213 W; can be charged while in use

can be charged while in use

allows the unit to be used while charging, but only if the load being drawn is under 32 W
