Another sneak preview.  And as you can probably guess the power bank is not actually rated at a capacity of 100,000mAh.

FAKE! 100,000mAh solar powerbank capacity test and opening.

While it would be really nice if this was a real 100000mAh (100Ah) power bank, it would be defying current battery technology quite dramatically. This is probably good, because a cheapo 100Ah power bank failing would be very "exciting". The odd thing is that beyond the very fake rating the unit is quite nicely made and seems to work well.

I recently bought a two cell '50,000' partly out of curiosity to see what the capacity actually was and partly because I actually liked the case and had plenty of genuine 3500 mAh 18650 to put two in it if it turned out rubbish. After a few charge and discharges to make sure It turned out to be around 1700 mAh so I complained to the Ebay seller, told him the actual capacity and he gave me my money back, which was only about £4 with postage, and told me to keep it. Which was fine by me as empty two cell 18650 cases cases that didn't have anywhere near such a nice design as the case I had were costing more so I got a case I liked for free and after adding two 3500 mAh Panasonic batteries I now I have a really nice 7000mAh 2.1A O/P power bank which I use to power my USB soldering iron.

I bought a power bank with 8 18650s wasn't too happy with output after several charges didn't improve so individually checked 18650s charged discharged lowest 248mah best 732mah certainly fake tomo cells. Was sold as 30,000 mah turned out to be best 4925mah. Supplier sent post paid return stamp but decided to keep to strip and test. Have since installed my own good 18650s and now have a great power bank.

I was feeling all depressed but then I checked my e-mail and saw two new videos from Big Clive! Woo hoo.

Maybe the 100,000 mAh are meant as an overall capacity over the product's lifetime (after charging it several times). For the safety of potential buyers it would be good though if you could stick a kitchen knife into the lithium cells and record the result with the thermal camera. For the sake of science, health and safety. Of course.
