In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of using high-wattage cables for fast charging, specifically noting a 140-watt charging capacity. They emphasize that not all cables can handle high wattages, pointing out that cheaper ones, such as a $9, 100-watt cable, may not be sufficient. The speaker explains that using a cable with insufficient wattage can lead to slow charging or potential battery damage due to simultaneous power input and output. They highlight the necessity of compatible cables, particularly for devices like the Asus ROG Ally, which requires a 65-watt input to utilize turbo mode effectively. Additionally, the speaker notes the importance of having a reliable way to check the remaining charge in portable batteries, as some cheaper options lack useful indicators, leading to uncertainty about their actual power levels.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various aspects of power banks, emphasizing the importance of usability features like LED indicators over full LCD screens. They mention the significance of fast charging capabilities and clarify that typically only one port on the power bank can support fast charging. The speaker also notes the importance of choosing power banks with multiple ports if you need to charge multiple devices simultaneously.
They prefer simpler designs to avoid issues like dust accumulation and potential breakage. Specific details about charging ports are provided, particularly for the Anker PowerCore model. The speaker highlights the importance of considering the power bank’s capacity (e.g., 5000mAh vs. 24,000mAh) based on usage duration and advises against using outdated power banks unless they meet specific criteria.
Additionally, the speaker discusses the relevance of high-wattage cables, mentioning a 100W cable they purchased for around nine dollars, which won’t charge their device at full speed but is practical for travel. They touch on visual features of some cables and conclude by briefly discussing the price of the power bank, noting it is $160 on Amazon, currently with a possible discount through a coupon.
