Mine should arrive soonish

People severely underestimate the size a solar panel would have to be

to charge batteries in proper time

Main advantage is you can just leave it out and itll charge something eventually.

Xiaomi isn't even doing the AI translation themselves, it's outsourced to a third party <:thenk:329322130804047872>

odd

I guess xiaomi just doesn't have the AI chops

Why do all these giant battery banks only have 2 outputs? Seems silly.

yeah seems crazy why don't consumers want to charge a million devices at once

Batteries have a limited amount of amps to give

severely reduces lifespan if too many devices are charged at once

Ah.

reminder to 1) re-check your charge every now and then on power banks, especially ones you dump in a car for emergencies and 2) try not to buy LiPo if you can help it because it will fuck itself up if left in the elements

@dogapult Two is one and one is none

Best capacity per dollar is a car lead-acid battery and a buck converter with however many outputs you want

Hahaha, you're not wrong about that. the output of the electrical system of the car is amazingly low. so I'm just going with the 20kmah

40 ampere-hours at 12V is amazingly low?

The full capacity of a battery

Unless for authencity you're using some old ass battery

You need 3 outpits, one for phone, one for camera, and the third?

Flashlight, of course.

one for phone, one for camera, one for spare batteries for the other 3 cameras.

I'm not using some old battery for the car, the car just has a generator that only puts out 20amps. and I have a feeling it'll need all of them.

@Woosh RE: underestimating solar panels, it would just be topping up whatever the battery would drain during the ~45 minutes/day 5 days/week that it was charging my phone using a cable that doesn't have data lines to negotiate higher speeds. It would be lit from roughly 5am-11pm 6 days/week, 3 hours less on Sunday. Probably a bit longer than that, the room is on a motion sensor, those are just the hours it's real busy and the lights are always on full.

Why not just use an out of the way outlet to charge a powerbank?

Seems less fun. And then I gotta make sure no one grabs it and I don't forget it

And the only good spot to leave it that also had plugs is the other end of the store, behind customer service, which is generally where I need to avoid if I don't want to get stuck.

It's one of those cases of solving a problem that doesn't really need solving

none of the luminescent CIA variety

>post let me know chinkshit was on the way
>expected delivery: 2nd
>it didn't come

I better get muh chinkshit today

I think chink shit not coming in its specified time is a ground for refund so ask ali directly for a refund and get it and then wait until the chink shit arrives so you can get yopur chink shit for free

dear people dont get refunds from products slightly late (what is probly last-mile problem not their )

partial refund is wise if you actualy paid some postage on it

contact the local post office (who is overencumbered due all the chinkshit packages) and complain there _every time_ they fail to meet the last-mile delivery time

@foxhunt but it's not chinks, it's post office fucking up

does it really matter

actualy it does

post offices (usualy) have state funding and they need to report every complain/etc

to higher ups

Yeah
