1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:07,359 You know those mobile power banks that everyone and their dog has where you 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,880 plug it in with a USB port and you charge up the battery that's built in 3 00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:13,920 and then you can take it around with you and you can give your devices an extra 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:19,680 boost. Actually, I guess we're kind of in the shade, aren't we? Uh you can give your devices an extra boost of power um 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:23,840 or just charge things on the go, all that kind of thing. Great concept. Love 6 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,400 them. I have one. I use it all the time. But the thing that was kind of missing 7 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:33,680 for me was one that doesn't need to be charged. So what I would find happening 8 00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:38,320 was I would use it on a flight to somewhere. I'd forget to charge the bank 9 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:44,079 itself and then on the way back I'd discover that it was dead. So this is a 10 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:48,640 product from Terat Trend by Silverstone. Basically by Silverstone. Penshape 11 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,719 mobile charger utilizing AA batteries. So I think that's pretty 12 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:56,399 self-explanatory. Supports install AA battery times 2 USBA type female 13 00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,840 interface. Easy to carry and compact design. Now, I asked for a pink one, and I guess they figured I must have um 14 00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:06,080 mistyped because they sent a green one, too. But the one that I actually want is 15 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,560 the pink one. So, check this out. They showed this off at CES, and we actually 16 00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:13,880 did see it in their booth. But I just want to show you guys how this works. 17 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,479 So, there you go. Super simple. Just like that. You unscrew the 18 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,080 bottom. It's made of aluminum. It feels really solid. It's got a nice anodized 19 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:25,119 finish on the outside. So, I mean, it's it's made by Silverstone, which is 20 00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:28,320 pretty much all you need to know. So, it's good. Um, you throw a couple 21 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,240 batteries in there. You can use rechargeables or disposable batteries. 22 00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:37,119 It's up to you. So, there's your contact point. You go ahead and screw this back 23 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:40,000 on. And then this is a quick way to turn 24 00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:44,479 a batteries into USB power. So, now all you got to do is toggle the switch here. 25 00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:51,840 And there's your USB charger. So, it's a 500 milliamp hour charger, I 26 00:01:48,119 --> 00:01:53,920 believe. Yeah, 500 milliamp. Uh, sorry, 27 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:58,000 not milliamp hour. That's a rating for the capacity. 500 milliamp charger. So, 28 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,320 you're not going to be able to quickly charge uh like speed charge a phone or 29 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:06,799 charge a tablet at any sort of appreciable rate. But what it is is it's 30 00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:11,360 a handy little thing that you can carry around in a backpack or whatever else. 31 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,480 It's going to be durable and you're going to be able to take an otherwise 32 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,360 standard thing that you can buy at a store and quickly convert it into 33 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:22,720 something that you can charge your device with or top up your device with. So, there you go. I mean, I think if you 34 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,200 can see the application for it, then you see the application for it. And if you 35 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,800 can't, then you can just tell me, Lionus, I don't see the application for it. I don't know why you made a video 36 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,560 about this. And I'll say, well, come on. It's like a pink stick. Put batteries in 37 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,879 it. Must be good. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech for more unboxings, reviews, and other computer 38 00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:41,599 videos. Oh, yeah. It's available in a variety of colors. Maybe that was the point of sending me the green one. So, 39 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:46,440 you don't have to get a pink one. So, you can get green or I think there's like three other colors.
