Review on Rechargeable 12V 11000MAh 9V 14500MAh 5V 26400MAh DC Output Lithium-Ion Battery Pack For LED Strip, CCTV Camera, Portable Li-Ion Power Bank With AC/DC Charger - Black by Bob Berry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Power rating is reasonably accurate

This is a high performing battery pack for its size. I needed a high wattage battery to replace a lead-acid battery in a portable searchlight. The previous battery was rated at 9Ah but was very heavy and the shelf life was awful. They needed replacing every 2-3 years. This is the first 12 volt Lithium ion battery pack I had come across with sufficient wattage to try. First it weighs less than half the lead-acid and is more compact. Second, the lead acid powered the light for about 20 minutes before flashing a low voltage signal. This pack ran it for 35 minutes before I decided to call it quits because the lamp itself became uncomfortably warm.I used an ammeter to determine the current draw, and at startup (it is an HID) drew over 50 amps peak for a fraction of a second and then 8 amps thru a 5 second warm up phase and then 5 amps continuously for the next 35 minutes. So thats a 60 watt draw and the whole pack barely got warm. The lamp housing itself became much warmer than the battery.Impressive capacity, and when I shut it off, there were still 2 lights out of 4 on the capacity meter. It is rated at 72 watts and it handled 60 without a hitch.I will report back if the unit does not last, but I have had for a few months so far.

Pros
  • Multiple charging options: The battery pack can be charged using a variety of power sources, including AC outlets and car chargers, making it easy to keep your devices powered on the go
Cons
  • The battery pack can be vulnerable to different kinds of wear and tear over time
