Hardware Chargeing Switch with a powerbank

[TheRedfox]

Why? We're still talking about capacity, right? If else, then I don't get the joke, sorry xD
There are much like this, but not as low price as this one in particular. I got it on ebay.

ebay + €5 + no brand + advertised as 30Ah.
That should ring all alarm bells, especially when xiaomi/anker/ravpower powerbanks of 20Ah capacity cost about €20-30.
This is why exploding powerbanks are still a thing

20,000mAh to 30,000mAh is pretty much the norm for the bigger batteries.

I know, just the €5 + ebay triggered me

Well, then I'm glad to say it works perfectly, and it's what I bought so... Don't worry about me, but thanks ^^

Did you check how many full charges you get out of it? It can't possibly be a real 30000mAh.
These chinese manufacturers will do anything to make it seem like a legit capacity, but it's almost always overrated. They'll use a big casing and only fill 1/5 of the inside, and sometimes even put weights inside to make it seem legit. I once bought a "10000mAh" battery from China and it was way too light to be 10000mAh. It was probably more like 2000mAh in reality.
In a best case scenario, the capacity will be (somewhat) legit, but the battery cells will be used ones salvaged from old battery packs, which aren't gonna last very long, and also won't hold their full charge.
In a worst case scenario the batteries will be of the worst quality possible and be a potential fire hazard.
Fake capacity is somewhere inbetween.
But it definitely has to be one of those 3.

I did, and It seems to. This is the 6th time I charge the Swith with it and still can do it again, or so it looks like, and I've try it put first with my phone. It does looks like it's 30000mah.
In other hand, I know it may be bad, but if it lasts like 3 months it'll be worth enought for 5€ xD Guys, really, ty but I don't need you to worry, and this is not what the post is about. It's starting to be offtopic as hell.

i got an anker 2nd gen astro 26800 mAh. got it a while back to charge my phone. it works with the switch too, though i haven't tested how long it could charge the switch.

Some people claim the switch can only charge over usb c if it is on sleep mode? https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/Tx16CWZZT2DUQUM/?source=allQuestionsPage

Can someone on here confirm?
And this is the anker 26800 mAh 1st gen or 2nd gen?
