Not if you need AC to survive...

Meow! Anyone doing the fursuit parade in SF tomorrow? If so, where’s the meetup spot? :3

Thank you!

Then there is AAAA. Still in use. Six in series inside each 9v cell

You wanna know why AA and AAA cells are a thing ? Because A and B batteries used to exist. Used a lot in tube radios

tbh if you do get it you can give one of the smaller ones to like your family or a friend

shit's like 6 inches or something it barely reaches my desk from my usb brick lmao

Also, I like the three Anker Power Banks mentioned as they are compatible with a dock.

ah, that's it then. that's where the basis comes from!

either way, it looks like you can always use 3.6V as the number for your Wh calculation, seems like the standard

(it shows the price in *I'm guessing* AUD which is why it seems so much more expensive here but it's the exact same as the US link with the addition of a lot more transparency of information because NZ)

28 Jun 2025 21:23

so interestingly the NZ version of the page actually does

admittedly the output chart here is a bit confusing

Apparently this power bank is just barely allowed on flights
Anker Prime 27,650mAh Power Bank (250W)

unless they're somehow all individual and they don't operate serially but then you'd have 4 ports and they'd all have individual charging input and that would get really messy

That's not a good start to the day c.c

SF Bay Furs

29 Jun 2025 00:33

not to be confused with the baseball term "quadruple A" which means "too good for AAA but not good enough for the majors" lmao

SF Bay Furs

29 Jun 2025 00:31

yeah I figured 4 individual cells not in series would be a nightmare to try to make work

SF Bay Furs

29 Jun 2025 00:25

That is 4 cells in series. A battery management system would be built in, to balance the cells

The smaller one good for work.
The middle one good for "urban exploration".
The larger one (not yet obtained) good for multi use or intercity travel.

I don't know if I need the third power bank set

SF Bay Furs

28 Jun 2025 21:42

I just use the lil baby size mini usb that came with the bank lmao

SF Bay Furs

28 Jun 2025 21:38

I knew it was something like that but I'm not that deep into battery stuff lmao

SF Bay Furs

28 Jun 2025 21:37

no, typical AA battery is 1.5V. 3.6V is nominal for a lithium ion cell

SF Bay Furs

28 Jun 2025 21:28

🤔 isn't 3.6V what you get out of a AA battery? I think that's why 3.6V is the number that gets used across the board

Can we summon the Shadow for his assistance?

if you want detailed information, go to the page for the power bank itself on the anker website and click the specs button under the picture rotation at the top

90% this is the minimum output, my guess is it operates at higher voltages if possible (which means you'll end up with *technically* lower amperage but it drains *faster*

(43.2Wh * 1000) / 12000mAh = 3.6V
