One of the better 26800 power banks with a USB-C in/out connector
I purchased the RAVPower 26800 for my Nexus 6p, and it does fast charge this phone with a USB-C to USB-C cable. Also, if you have a 30 watt plus charger, you can use the USB-C connectors to fast charge the RAVPower 26800. The power bank fully charges in about four and a half hours.Pros:* fast charging for Nexus 6p and Pixel phones using the USB-C connectors* fast charging for the battery bank when using a 30-amp (or greater) wall charger using the USB-C connectors* the power bank has a large capacity (26800 mAh)* the power bank is slightly lighter than some other 26800 power banks* the weight to capacity ratio is decentCons:* the RAVPower 26800 is only 57 percent efficient--in my testing, I got 15470 mAh and 89815 mWh with a discharge time of 7:42 when discharging at 2 amps. By comparison my Tronsmart Presto 10000 mAh is 64 percent efficient, delivering 5432 mAh when discharging at 2 amps, and the Anker Powercore+ 20100 is also 64 percent efficient delivering 12979 mAh (when discharging at 1 amp).* the weight to capacity ratio is good, but it could be even better. The RAVPower 26800 weighs a hair over 16 ounces, and two Tronsmart Presto 10000 mAh weighs 15 ounces. The Anker Powercore+ 20100 weighs 14 ounces. So, the weight to capacity ratio is decent, and I would rather have the extra power afforded by the 26800 power bank.* when discharging at one amp, the RavPower Super-C 26800mAh is only 59 percent efficient--in my testing, I got 15914 mAh and 83167 mWh with a discharge time of 16:09.I took off one star due to the cons above.It is interesting to note that when looking at watt hours, the RAVPower 26800 was fully discharged at 89815 mWh when discharging at 2 amps. However, when discharging at one amp, the power bank was fully discharged at 83167 mWh. So, the RAVPower 26800 did better charging at 2 amps than at 1 amp when comparing watt hours. However, when comparing amp hours, I recorded 15475 mAh at 2 amps versus 15914 mAh at 1 amp.I think that the RAVPower 26800 PD is one of the better 26800 power banks. I love how it fast charges the Nexus 6p, and I love how I can fully charge the power bank in about 4.5 hours with a 30 amp USB-C to USB-C wall charger.

True USC-3 in, and USB 3 out, Meets FAA legal limit 100 Wh for travel on
This is how you do it. Get a Bigblue 28 watt solar panel with USB-C out and the Ravpower 26.8 Amp Hour battery bank with UBC-C in and out. Don’t get the $20 more expensive “new and improved” Ravpower 31 Ah model it has no USB-C ports at all. Also the 26800 is below the 100 Watt Hour limit the FAA has set. The newer one is limited to USB ports at 2.4 to control the energy discharge rate and still sits at 160 Watt Hours which requires specific airline approval to bring aboard as a carry on. These can’t be put in a cargo hold of an aircraft unmonitored. You may have to tape over the ports to make them super happy that there is no short/fire hazard although the Ravpower 26800 has electronic overload testing before it even enables power delivery. It also has iSmart power negotiation. It supports USB-C up to 3 amps or 15 Watts. What is good is that the thing can take on 5v 3A as well. That 20% more at 3A with a direct USB-C that can take 60 Watts in from a wall charger source makes a huge difference when your battery is wall or solar charged. At some point I want a Baofeng UHF/VHf portable that can be charged via USB.

Very portable but doesn’t last as much as some others of the same capacity.
Ok. This isn’t my first power bank. I also had the ravpower 20100mAh 45 watts. I also have the Nintendo Switch 20100mAh. I also had the Floureon26800 mAh. I use a 60 W anker GAN usb c charger to charge the ravpower from near empty. It takes about 3hours 15 minutes. The battery life doesn’t really seems like a 26800mAh, honestly , it feels,closer to my Anker 20100mAh. I just got a 61watts rav power GAN usb Charger , I'll update this to tell you how long it takes to charge it from dead.Great news if you have any of these devices below.1)Fast charge iPhone 11 Pro max faster than the included 18 watts that comes with the iPhone using USB C to lightning2)Also fast charge iPhone 11 Pro Max using a USB A to lightning3) Fast charge an 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 using the USB C4)fast charge Sony m100x M3 noise cancelling headphones.5)Charge an iPad Air 2 faster than the included iPad chargerI also use my iPhone pro max in the pictures for size reference.I’m keeping both this and the Floureon26800. Mostly because of the Smaller dimension and weight. The Floureon last a lot longer even though they’re the same capacity.Also,bought that case on Amazon .
