Speaker 1: What's the best way to keep your radios and also
Speaker 1: your phone, maybe a camera, earbuds, whatever you're charging up
Speaker 1: these days, what's the best way to keep these charged
Speaker 1: in the field. If you want a portable charger and
Speaker 1: a way to charge your radio, assuming that your radio
Speaker 1: is USBC, take a look at this. So what is
Speaker 1: the best way to charge your radio with all of
Speaker 1: these new radios and new batteries. I'm actually working on
Speaker 1: a new video for a list of radios at all
Speaker 1: include USBC charging, which is a lot of them. Now.
Speaker 1: It has been a little bit slow going to get
Speaker 1: the Hamm radio manufacturers around to realizing that USBC charging
Speaker 1: is a good thing, or USB charging in general is
Speaker 1: a good thing, and several of them were micro USB
Speaker 1: for a long time. But now we're starting to see
Speaker 1: an influx of USBC charging and that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: So what's the best way to keep those charged in
Speaker 1: the field? Now? I've got three charges to show you today,
Speaker 1: and I have shared this first one on multiple of
Speaker 1: my Friday shopping videos. I've shared it in my email
Speaker 1: blast sign up for my email list at Hanmradio two
Speaker 1: dot com, forward slash email dash sign up. Once we
Speaker 1: get to a stable number of twenty thousand subscribers or more.
Speaker 1: It's jumped over that a couple times, but then drop
Speaker 1: back down to like nineteen nine hundred and fifty or something.
Speaker 1: Once we get a stable level of twenty thousand or more,
Speaker 1: I'm going to do a giveaway of an HF radio
Speaker 1: to someone on that list. You have to be on
Speaker 1: that list to be eligible for that giveaway, so go
Speaker 1: sign up for that right now. I've sent it out there,
Speaker 1: I've shared it on Insta, I've shared this on Instagram,
Speaker 1: I've shared it in my Discord pages, several of my
Speaker 1: Discord pages, and this has been the most popular item
Speaker 1: on my Amazon store in the last three months, probably
Speaker 1: something like that. This little guy here, And prior to this,
Speaker 1: I had another charger with a ped output that I
Speaker 1: still have and still use, and it's great for that
Speaker 1: other one will charge will actually run your seven oh five.
Speaker 1: This one here is great and I got it because
Speaker 1: I have a little go bag that I carry with
Speaker 1: me in the truck. Sometimes I'll carry it as like
Speaker 1: a shoulder bag when I'm going places, but generally speaking,
Speaker 1: it sits. It sits in my vehicle. It's my everyday
Speaker 1: carry bag. It has my journal in it, it has
Speaker 1: a radio in it, some flashlights, some stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and I wanted a charging solution for something to put
Speaker 1: that would fit in that bag. So I've picked up
Speaker 1: this i in IU charger, the ten thousand million hour
Speaker 1: battery pack USBCN and out fast output charging. I have
Speaker 1: charged numerous radios, including my walks On radios, my b
Speaker 1: Tech radios, my new ID fifty two anniversary edition radio,
Speaker 1: my kin with D seventy five, several Balfang radios, a
Speaker 1: couple other couple others I'm probably forgetting right now, but
Speaker 1: several of these radios have charged. I've charged. This will
Speaker 1: charge my phone about two, maybe two and a half times,
Speaker 1: something like that. If my phone's down to like fifteen
Speaker 1: or twenty percent, I'll put in there, charge it back
Speaker 1: up to eighty percent. And I can do that two
Speaker 1: or three times. So this is a great and this
Speaker 1: limited time deal here right here has been going on
Speaker 1: for like three months. So twenty bucks for this thing,
Speaker 1: and you got into today today you get an additional
Speaker 1: ten percent off coupons another two dollars off of that
Speaker 1: price right there. Recently I found it's big brother, which
Speaker 1: is this twenty thousand million em power power supply power bank,
Speaker 1: I should say, sixty five watt USB C laptop portable
Speaker 1: charger PDQC fast charging, that kind of thing. And you
Speaker 1: can see in the picture right there. Yeah, well you
Speaker 1: can see in the picture right there on the left
Speaker 1: the ind out is a sixty five watt pd port
Speaker 1: right there. The middle port is an output USBC thirty
Speaker 1: six watt, and the one on the right is an
Speaker 1: output to USB three eighteen watts. That one in the
Speaker 1: middle of that thirty six watt in the middle of
Speaker 1: that's the one I ran my Starlink Mini dish on
Speaker 1: for about two hours and ten or fifteen minutes something
Speaker 1: like that. I plugged my Starlink Mini into this power bank,
Speaker 1: into the thirty six watt port, not even in the
Speaker 1: biggest port, and I ran that Starlink Mini for about
Speaker 1: two hours just as a test. I was doing it
Speaker 1: specifically as a test. We were out at the hunting Lease.
Speaker 1: I was browsing on my phone. I was watching Instagram
Speaker 1: reels or watching some YouTube stuff, checking my email, all
Speaker 1: doing it from the Starlink Mini while it was plugged
Speaker 1: into this battery bank. And this battery bank ran that
Speaker 1: for just over two hours. The Starlink Minnie only draws
Speaker 1: about twenty one to twenty four watts, so this thirty
Speaker 1: six watt port was plenty for it. Granted, two hours
Speaker 1: is not gonna last you all day, but for something
Speaker 1: this small, I thought that was pretty impressive. But this
Speaker 1: thing will charge. I mean, this thing will run your laptop.
Speaker 1: This fifty five watt PD port there on the left
Speaker 1: will run most tablets and laptops. It's not going to
Speaker 1: fast charge the laptop, but it will keep the laptop
Speaker 1: running and keep it charged. And this is a great
Speaker 1: source as well. It's twenty thousand MILLIONMP hours, where this
Speaker 1: first one is ten thousand million hours. It's again, the
Speaker 1: reason I chose this one is because it's smaller. And
Speaker 1: I've got both of these to show you right here today.
Speaker 1: All right, these are how they come. This is great.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about this third one here in just
Speaker 1: one second. But these come with these little mesh bags here.
Speaker 1: Now you may think, well, big deal. I don't really
Speaker 1: care about that, and at first I didn't really care
Speaker 1: about it either, But I tell you what. The thing
Speaker 1: that's cool about these little bags is that you can
Speaker 1: keep a cable in there with it. I mean, I
Speaker 1: have found and I didn't. I never would have thought
Speaker 1: this unless I did it myself. I've had this one
Speaker 1: for maybe four months. I've had this one for maybe
Speaker 1: a month month and a half at the time in
Speaker 1: this recording, and it is incredibly convenient to just have
Speaker 1: this in your pack, in your backpack, in your vehicle,
Speaker 1: and if you need to charge something, you just open up.
Speaker 1: You've got it all in this little this little drawstring
Speaker 1: bag here that it comes with. You open it up
Speaker 1: and you've got a truck, you got your charger charged up.
Speaker 1: This one's at ninety one percent right now, and you've
Speaker 1: got a cable that goes into and you can put
Speaker 1: a USBC cable in here if you want to. But
Speaker 1: this one goes into the USBA and that'll charge USBC
Speaker 1: no problem. This one has the same thing cable right there.
Speaker 1: This is a longer cable than what it came with.
Speaker 1: I replaced this myself because I just wanted a longer
Speaker 1: cable in that one, and I should probably put a
Speaker 1: USBC cable in this one as well. But then that
Speaker 1: one's at one hundred percent, and that one's the one
Speaker 1: with the three ports on the top. This one on
Speaker 1: the far left here as a sixty five WA pdport
Speaker 1: right there, thirty six watt USBC and eighteen wht USBA,
Speaker 1: So that's that right there. They also have this this
Speaker 1: little guy right here, which I didn't know what that
Speaker 1: was for it first, but that is a stand for
Speaker 1: your phone. If you want to plug your phone in
Speaker 1: while it's charging, then you can set it down like that.
Speaker 1: It doesn't really hold my z fold very well because
Speaker 1: the z fold's a little bit heavier. But that's what
Speaker 1: that's for, is that I saw some guys using it
Speaker 1: online with a phone. You kind of like a little
Speaker 1: resting case for your phone right there. But I don't
Speaker 1: use that because it done hold my phone. But that
Speaker 1: is what that's for. I thought that these you know again,
Speaker 1: I didn't think these really much of anything of these
Speaker 1: bags when they first came out. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's neat. It's got a little carrying bag. That's fine.
Speaker 1: I don't really need that. And then I found that
Speaker 1: stuffing a cable in here just makes it incredibly easy
Speaker 1: because you've always got a cable with you. Now, I
Speaker 1: usually carry a bag in my EDC pack. I usually
Speaker 1: carry a small bag of cables anyway, So for me,
Speaker 1: that's not that big of a deal. But I find
Speaker 1: myself since I'm opening up this battery pack and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I need a cable for it, and this is just
Speaker 1: right there with it makes it that much faster. So
Speaker 1: it's the little things. It really is the little things.
Speaker 1: So there's those both of those right there. That's the
Speaker 1: size of my smartphone. You can see. This one's about
Speaker 1: the size of my smartphone there, and then this one's
Speaker 1: maybe two thirds the size of my smartphone right there.
Speaker 1: So that's a good size comparison there. Now, the last
Speaker 1: one I'm gonna show you is this one right here,
Speaker 1: And this one's actually bigger than that large one we
Speaker 1: just looked at that twenty thousand million empower. This one
Speaker 1: is thirty two thousand million emp hours. It is five
Speaker 1: volt three a fast charger porta blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: So it's only twenty three ninety nine where this twenty
Speaker 1: thousand milliamp are right here from I and I use
Speaker 1: thirty five with their limited time that's been going for
Speaker 1: a long long time. Okay, thirty thirty six dollars basically
Speaker 1: for that one. This one here is thirty two thousand
Speaker 1: million empower, so it's twelve thousand million EUMP hours larger,
Speaker 1: and it's cheaper. It's twenty four dollars and right now
Speaker 1: it has a fifteen percent off coupon, so you can
Speaker 1: even get that for a little bit less. The problem
Speaker 1: with this one, and it's not really a problem. It
Speaker 1: depends on what you're using it for. Okay, I have
Speaker 1: this one. I have it right here. I'll show it
Speaker 1: to you in the overhead in just one minute. The
Speaker 1: problem with this one is it doesn't have a PD output.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have USBCPD output. It's got type C USBC
Speaker 1: A thirty watt or A. It's got a micro USB
Speaker 1: port for eighteen watts, and then it's got two USB
Speaker 1: A ports. So if we look at the overhead camera
Speaker 1: right here, these are both USBA ports. Obviously they are
Speaker 1: USB three point zero, but they are you know, they're
Speaker 1: red for whatever is just the way they did it.
Speaker 1: That's a MicroPort down there at the bottom, and that's
Speaker 1: a USB sport on the top. Of the USB sport's
Speaker 1: actually made to charge this battery pack. It does do output,
Speaker 1: it does do output, but it's only thirty watts, the
Speaker 1: like the picture in the on the website says, just now.
Speaker 1: So it does have a larger capacity, it will last
Speaker 1: longer just because it's it's twelve thousand MILLI empires more
Speaker 1: than this. But it doesn't come with a carrying case.
Speaker 1: It probably came with the USBCA cable when I got it,
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I've had this one for a while.
Speaker 1: It probably came with the USB SA cable, but since
Speaker 1: or a USB, it probably came with a C to
Speaker 1: A cable so you could charge it because you plug
Speaker 1: the C in here and you plug your A into
Speaker 1: the wall or something, and that's how you recharge this
Speaker 1: after it's it's run down. But it doesn't have a
Speaker 1: carrying case and it doesn't have PD output on the
Speaker 1: USBC port. So if that's something that's important to you,
Speaker 1: then this may or may not work for you. But
Speaker 1: I mean, I still maintain that. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of you are going saying that you want to go
Speaker 1: USBC completely, and I think that eventually that's going to
Speaker 1: be a good idea. Right now, most devices that you
Speaker 1: buy that are USBC charge ale, they come with the
Speaker 1: cable that's a on one end and C on the other.
Speaker 1: So USBA it's gonna be a long time before USBA
Speaker 1: gets phased out, wanted to. But usbc's faster, especially if
Speaker 1: it's power delivery. If it's a power delivery port like
Speaker 1: this one has, then it will be faster. It will
Speaker 1: charge faster, and it will you don't have to wait
Speaker 1: as long for your device to get charged back. And
Speaker 1: this one will run a laptop. This one will run
Speaker 1: a laptop. It's doubtful this one would run a laptop.
Speaker 1: It's only thirty watts, so it's not gonna run any
Speaker 1: laptop that or any tablet that requires like a sixty
Speaker 1: five watt or larger power distribution. So that's that's the
Speaker 1: thing there. But these are three power banks that I
Speaker 1: have used for the last I mean, I don't remember
Speaker 1: when I got this one, this thirty two thousand one.
Speaker 1: It's a I mean, for twenty four bucks. You really
Speaker 1: can't beat that. Put it in your own case and
Speaker 1: put your own battery with it, then you know, or
Speaker 1: put your own cables with it. But no big deal there.
Speaker 1: But I've had that one for a while and it
Speaker 1: is heavier also, uh maybe a little bit. It's a
Speaker 1: little bit heavier. It's not that big a deal. I
Speaker 1: don't think this one's nice and small and lightweight, but
Speaker 1: this is what I've I've used these for the last
Speaker 1: several months. This is basically the only charging banks that
Speaker 1: I use for USBC charging stuff. I do have my
Speaker 1: battery boxes I take with me also, Yes, and I
Speaker 1: mainly got this one because it would fit in my
Speaker 1: little EDC go bag and which just stays in the
Speaker 1: truck all the time. And I've used it. I probably
Speaker 1: used it the most out of all of them, just
Speaker 1: because it's more portable, easier to carry around, and a little
Speaker 1: bit more convenient. So those are the ones that I suggest.
